Dawn broke. Branch and Poppy were wide awake. They put on their clothes and headed towards school. Branch met up with Poppy on his way there. "Morning Pops!" Branch said cheerfully. "Morning Branch." Poppy replied in a less depressing voice as usual. "You feeling better after yesterday?" Branch asked. "Yeah. Still in some pain but not as bad." Poppy replied. "That's good to hear." Branch said back. They continued walking and finally got to school. Where finally, poppy's life was gonna change. It started at lunch break. Where Suki, Biggie, the twins, Cooper and Guy Diamond sat with Branch and Poppy at the table. Branch had already explained to Poppy about what happened between Creek and Cooper and GD, so they were good. What wasn't good was the fact that Creek was just staring at them. From a distance. But he didn't attack, why you ask? Because literally everyone in the cafeteria was just staring at the bunch. They were all in shock that there were actual people sitting with the grey troll that nobody wanted to be seen with. But this only made Creek angrier. But he still kept his distance from them. After lunch, in math class, DJ Suki sat next to Poppy. Creek was also in the same class. He was furious at was he saw. Over the next 2 weeks, more and more people became Poppy's friend. People like Smidge, Harper, and others. Creek couldn't take t anymore. He wanted to punch all of them but with Poppy basically having an Army on her side, there wasn't much he could do. So instead of going on a huge school rampage, he decided to leave. He dropped out and left the school. Never to look back. After this, Branch noticed something. Poppy wasn't as grey as she usually was. But Branch being... Branch, he had to restore her colors. So, on top of what had been happening over the past 2 weeks, he planned something that was sure to bring back Poppy's true colors. But what was it? Well, you're just gonna have to get to the next chapter. It was going to be so surprising, so overwhelming, so heartwarming, that Poppy's life would finally be back to normal. Rosie and Peppy were in on this but Branch was the mastermind behind it all.
