[this one starts with a dream sequence of Shrignold past before he met Malcom😱]
Shrignold s pov:
I was sitting in a tree in a forest. It was so calm and serene here. I was waiting for him to show up. The river was rushing gently behind me and I just felt so at peace, probably the happiest I ever felt.
"Shrig!" I heard someone whisper yell from bellow me, it was him
"Hey Jack!" I called down below me
He swiftly climbed up the tree and soon we were sitting on the same branch inches away from one another
"So why'd you wanna meet here?" Jack asked
"Well, I had something I wanted to tell you" I said shyly
"Well, what is it?" He questions
"I-I think I like you, like like you" I stuttered
"Wait- so are you like gay or something?" He says sounded disgusted
"Um- no! It was just a prank! Haha..." I said hiding my sorrow
"Phew I thought you were a faggot or something" he says sounding relived
"Yeah no... they're gross" I respond
We talked for a while about school and life but it started getting dark
"Welp I should probably head home, I don't want my parents mad at me" Jack says
"Y-yea me too!" We headed off in separate directions and after I couldn't see him anymore I started running home
I don't know how much longer I could go before bursting into tears. I ran into my house past my mom who was drunk and passed out on the floor, straight into my room. I laid on the floor and started sobbing.
'You're so stupid how could you ever think he'd like you back. What's wrong with you. Why are you so fucking stupid.' I looked at the knife on my table.
"Maybe just this once" I whispered to myself
I grabbed the knife and drug it across my wrist, deeper with every cut I made until my entire arm was red with blood. I snuck into the bathroom to clean them out and winced when the water hit the cuts. I bandaged them then snuck back to my room and passed out.
"WAKE THE FUCK UP" Paige screamed at me
"MEH MEH MEH MEH MEH MEH!!!" Tony shouted
"What the fuck-" I mumbled groggily as I stood up
"We've been trying to wake you for 2 hours!!!" Tony exclaimed
"Oh I'm sorry, I was dreaming." I said back
"What dumbass dream could have you sleeping through all of that?!??" Tony questioned
"I'm not sure i forgot it already" I lied
"Whatever I'm eating breakfast" Paige said before leaving
"Me too" Tony said before he dipped
Alone again... I thought. I closed my door and brought the paper back out that listed everyone in the house. I'll try and talk to Fred once everyone's out of the kitchen I decided. Until then I planned on what I'd say to him in my head until I decided to leave my room and talk to Fred.
I walked into the kitchen and no one was there.
"Good morning Fred!" I said cheerfully
"It's 11, that's hardly morning" he stated
"Oh yea I guess it is!" I replied
"So Fred I was wondering if you would be interested in joining my love cult? It can help you with love and you can help others find lo-"
"I'm cutting you off right now, me and Steve are dating and I've been told many times by Paige how homophobic you are, so no I'm not interested in joining your stupid love cult, and neither is Steve so don't even bother asking!" Fred interrupted.
"Ok, no problem I was just asking!" I said trying not to show my sadness
"Anyways I was just about to get going, see you later!" I said then swiftly left
'What am I going to do now?? The only person left in this house that I could convince is Larry, so I guess I'll try and find him.' I wondered around the house looking for him but never found him. 'maybe he's out? I try to reason with myself. That was until I saw him leave his room
So I slowly walked over to him trying to act natural.
"Hey! Your Larry rightt?" I asked
"Yea, who are you?" He also asked
"I'm shrignold, nice to meet you!" I said cheerfully
"So what brings you to this area of the house?" He wondered
"Well, I was actually looking for you! I'm involved in this cult called the love cult! We teach everyone about love and help them find their special someone and we need new members so I was going to ask if if you'd like to join?" I said cutting straight to the point
"Give me a day to think about it ok." He said
"Alright my room is right over there (points 3 doors down) so when you decide come knock on the door, that's where I'll probably be!" I said happily
"Alrighty, see you later I guess" he said
We walked our separate ways and when I entered my room I was so happy. Finally! Someone might join!! This means the best of news for me! Malcom will be so impressed, I'm sure of it!

Time skip to late the next day (brought to you by sleep deprivation)

I heard a knock on my door and knew who it was instantly. I opened my door and saw Larry standing there.
"I think I'll join, but I want you to teach me the basics of the cult and how I'm expected to act, ok" he said
"Alright when do you wanna start?" I asked
"Right now if that's ok?" He replied
"Yea sure, no problem!" I stated
I went on to teach him everything about Malcom, and we got a little sidetracked and started talking about other things so I said he can come by tomorrow and we can continue talking.
I'm so happy he joined! Malcom will be so pleased with me. And I won't be punished! Today was an amazing day. My mind was buzzing with happy thoughts until I eventually fell asleep

[I've decided I'll include a little dream sequence of shrigs past in the beginning of most chapters. Also the last meeting was on Tuesday, so Shrig has to wait a week and 3 days to tell Malcom because I've decided Malcom moved the meeting a week away for plot convenience]
