For Now
John stretched out on his bed, arching his back like a cat. He stood up, pushing the tangled blue sheets off of him and stepped onto the cool wooden floor. He went to the window and drew the curtains to find a grey sky scape.
"Just another day in paradise." He said to himself as the rain began to fall, and he prepared for another ordinary day.
"Well, fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. It's fucking raining? Are you fucking joking?" Karkat Vantas growled as he lurched down the steps of his townhouse. It wasn't that he didn't like his new town, it was just the little things that bugged him. Like his house, it wasn't run down, but it definitely wasn't new and it needed repairs in places desperately. And his school was just too close to not get bussed but just far enough that it was a 45 minute walk to get there. Karkat sighed. He knew that it was all for the best, he knew that his mom just wanted the best for him. But he wished that his father had realised that the best thing for him was to stay together, at least until he was done with school. Moving to Derse had cost his mother everything. So now she was working double, sometimes triple shifts. "Fuck." He said again as the raindrops splattered against his curly black hair. He cursed under his breath as he pulled the hood of his grey hoodie up over his head. "Just another day in paradise."
