AN: Sorry I really wanted to reference the song Freak show by Skillet. Quick disclaimers. The chapter is edited heavily due to weird scenes and better ideas. Also this uses that 'person doesn't feel like they fit in at school and bullies pick on em' trope from.. What, the flippin' 90's? Yeah pretty much in some spots. G/D's thoughts also go as this now. Name: Insert thought here. It makes things less confusing. I've also stuck to one drawing here so it's not so annoying for this version of the story, and there is no longer ACTs kind of stuff. Makes the story more fluid, y'know? Ok here's the chapter.
It was the next day, which Gumball/Darwin dreaded, since it meant they had to go to school. To be honest, it didn't sound THAT bad, but.. They were mostly worried about reactions. Sure, it was a little bit out of character for the two to be this way, but then again, they did kind of just watch each other die just a week ago, still being dead technically.
They mostly figured that they'd get a negative reaction.
The alarm clock began to beep, rather loudly. Annoyed, G/D reached out with one hand (more or less fin cause it's Darwin's), and shut the device off, soon going back to bed.
Noticing this, Anais came over and lightly tapped them on the shoulder. "Guys come on, get up. We have school, and you'll have to face it." In response, they moved the blanket over their head, still not getting up.
Anais sighed. "Ok fine. We're doing this the hard way." She then yanked the blanket off from the bed, grabbing the two by the arm and hoisting them up. A small groan from Gumball could be heard. "Dang it Anais.."
"We don't have that much time before the bus gets here, so I suggest you guys hurry up." She was already dressed, and made her way to the bathroom.
Dread and fear hung over them, as Gumball/Darwin got ready for school. By the time they reached the bathroom, their sister was already downstairs, so they mostly had it to themselves at the moment. As the two picked up one of their toothbrushes, they soon paused, seeing their reflection in the mirror.
It was kind of weird and eerie how their face looked, their pupiless eyes staring right back at them. They didn't look ugly per say, most likely due to Darwin's traits, but they looked a little creepy, like some kind of weird voodoo doll of the sorts.
G/D soon refocused, and fixed their eyes away from the mirror.
------------------------------------------------------------
"So, you're sure you want to go?" Nicole sat at the table, a usual cup of coffee in her hand. Gumball/Darwin nodded, uncertain if this was the right choice.
Anais gave a look of concern, as she was also sitting there, backpack in hand. "It's ok, I'm sure they'll understand what happened."
G/D glanced over at the window, seeing the bus outside. Noticing their worry, Nicole stood up and grabbed the car keys. "Do you want me to just drive you there? I can tell you two don't want to ride the bus."
"Yeah that's fine." They both replied, with a small sigh.
----------------------------------------------------
Nicole pulled up into a parking space, the school now in full view. She soon turned towards Gumball/Darwin, who were in the passenger seat. "I wouldn't want to worry about it too much if I were you, alright?"
The two nodded, and placed one hand on the car door handle, worry still present on their face.
Gumball: Ready?..
Darwin: Yep, let's do it..
Taking a deep breath and letting it out, they finally opened the door, and stepped out of the car, carrying their (mostly Gumball's) backpack with them. Some students walking in were a little surprised, but continued on with their schedule.
