Chapter Text
“What the hell was that about? “ Jacob said as the three of them left the school
“Hm? What was what? “ replied Mabel
“Dont play dumb, “ Gideon walked up beside Mabel “ you and Pacifica, what were you two really doing. “
“Like I said, she was just apologizing and now we're friends! Simple as that, “ she acknowledged
“And that involved her being that close? “ Jacob stated bluntly, glancing over at Mabel
“No idea what you're talking about, “ her voice flattened. “It was a friendly conversation. “
“Didn't you give her ‘enemy’, “- he air quoted-” soup like a week ago. “ Gideon stated.
“Not like I'm the one who apologized for being a bully” Mabel shrugged
“Yeah but c'mon!” Jacob sighed dramatically,”there was 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 something else going on!”
“I seriously don't know what your talking about” Mabel deflected
“Mabel,” Gideon smirked and glanced at her" do you like Pacifica?” he confronted
“NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!”
Jacob and Gideon exchanged a knowing look as Mabel defended herself in a totally not suspicious way.
It was very suspicious, and entirely readable. Mabel

NOBODY! MABEL LIKES NO ONE SHE HAS ZERO CRUSHES!!
“NO!NO! NUH UH! I DO NOT LIKE PACIFICA!”- she gasped for air before continuing-“THAT WOULD BE INSANE! I MEAN ME? MABEL PINES? LIKE HER?! PACIFICA NORTHWEST?!” her voice rose in pitch and her face turned bright red as she defended herself uselessly.
“OKAY! Okay! Jeez calm down Mabel” Gideon giggled,” for your sake I'll agree. As long as you stop yelling.”
Mabel sighed and smiled slightly” sorry…”
As they passed Mabel's house she departed from the group and waved behind her.
Why had she gotten so upset?
She was never really one to deny a crush. Mabel is always fine with crushes…well fine in the sense of talking to them as soon as she caught feelings. This proved ineffective as Mabel has never had a boyfriend before…o̶r̶ a̶ g̶i̶r̶l̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶.
She ran to her room as soon as she entered the house,and took out her phone to type in Pacifica's number.
She sent her a quick hey and fell back kicking her feet. Maybe she did like Pacifica?
If she did she wasn't going to screw it up by telling her right away…
