Scatterbrained
Mumbo's Perspective-
Mumbo ran into the gym and was just about ready to collapse. He saw Scar, who smiled.
"Hey! Did you see Martyn?" Scar asked and Mumbo shook his head, trying to catch his breath.
"Jeez, you okay?"
Mumbo nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
Scar glanced around and walked over to Sadie.
"Hey, have you seen Martyn?"
"Martyn? Yeah, I think Ren just talked to him outside the gym." She said.
Scar's eyes widened and he saw Ren laughing with a couple of other friends. Scar glared at him and marched over, Mumbo following.
"Hey!" Scar tapped Ren's shoulder, and he turned around.
"Oh- what's up, Scar?" Ren smiled and he looked confused as he saw Scar's anger.
"What did you say to Martyn?" Scar snapped.
"What?"
"What did you say to him?! He's not here now because of you. I swear if you hurt him again- he's been through enough with you it sounds like; plus, he's new to theatre, you can't just hurt him like that. Are you that petty?" Scar snapped and Mumbo was confused.
"What? Wait who- "
Scar waved Mumbo off, and Mumbo turned to Ren, wanting to see his reaction.
"I- I didn't hurt him! We just talked. I just- I didn't- "
"He's probably already heartbroken after you, he doesn't need to deal with you when he's with Mumbo."
"We- we're not..." Mumbo blushed.
"Ohh, you're his date? Where were you?" Ren asked and Scar huffed.
"Enough, you don't get to shove your way into Martyn's life and turn it into a living hell. He wanted to quit theatre cause of you."
Scar continued his angry rant, not letting Ren get a word in.
Mumbo glanced around again, not seeing Martyn.
"Where would he have gone?" Mumbo whispered, trying to think where Martyn went if he was upset.
His eyes widened as he knew the place and he walked out of the gym, Scar not noticing.
"Wait- how am I going to get there?" Mumbo whispered and he heard the gym door open behind him.
"Hey Mumbo, what're you doing here?"
Mumbo turned around and saw Mr. Raymond.
"Mr. Ray! I- please I need your help." Mumbo ran over, it was clear he was very overwhelmed and exhausted from this wild goose chase.
"Hold your horses, what happened?" Mr. Raymond put his hand on Mumbo's shoulder and Mumbo took a deep breath.
"I need a ride to the arcade; will you take me? Please I need to do this." Mumbo begged and Mr. Raymond chuckled.
"Calm down, I can give you a ride."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Mumbo sighed in relief and followed his teacher.
"Why the arcade, if you don't mind me asking." Mr. Raymond asked as he started his van.
Mumbo smiled as he saw the two baby car seats in the back for Mr. Raymond's two daughters.
"I need to meet a friend there." Mumbo said simply, lying a bit.
"Uh huh...so that's why you seem out of breath and overwhelmed?" Mr. Raymond raised an eyebrow and Mumbo blushed.
"They're...they're a very important friend." Mumbo said and Mr. Raymond chuckled.
"Just wanna make sure you're okay." Mr. Raymond said, and Mumbo smiled.
"I am, thank you. I'm just happy you were still there to help me."
Mr. Raymond dropped Mumbo off at the arcade and Mumbo walked in to see a couple of kids there.
He walked to the back and sure enough, Martyn was showing off to a small audience as he got another perfect score on DDR.
The kids clapped and Martyn turned around, his eyes widening as he saw Mumbo.
"Hi." Mumbo said, walking over after most of the children left.
Martyn stepped off the machine. "H-hey..." He blushed.
