Dave Strider is a cool dude. John Eggbert is Dave's derpy friend. Dave is a pimp. John is a nerd. Dave has already found his dream girl and has been going steady for a while, and John is left high and dry. Dave Strider is a cool dude, John Eggbert is Dave's derpy friend and Dave refuses to let his derpy nerd friend go on being the lonely guy he is.

John is walking down the hall to his next class, he turns the corner and bumps into the last person he wants to see. Karkat Vantas, senior, captain of the field hockey and tennis teams, relation ship status = Avaliable

"Hello Eggbert"

"What do you want Karkat"

"I'm just trying to say hello to an under class men, do I have to want something?"

"Unless you intend to move out of my way in the next three secounds, yes."

"Come on do you have a problem with me or something? What have I ever done to you?"

"Nothing just get out of my way."

John pushed past the senior and kept going to his class, Karkat had never done anything bad to John, he had just been better at everything. Maybe in another universe where Karkat was an alien and had some kind of disorder that made him hide from any kind of social activity he may have been a screw up. But that was something that would obviously never happen, Karkat was human and was on even social footing with everyone else, and since this was the case Karkat had it pretty good. He was an encourageing leader and skilled athelete, while he isn't the best field hockey player or the best tennis player (He is still pleanty good) he inspires people and can lead people. Not to menton he looks good in shorts, Karkat is the only Senior who looks good in shorts. John is horrible at sports, John cannot inspire people, John does not look good in shorts, and John wanted to be able to do all those things, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't and it all came easy to Karkat and John hated him for it.

John made it too his class, at least as long as he was in a class room where social skills and athletic abilities didn't matter John was pretty well off himself. He got straight 4's with the occasional 3 because some times he just couldn't focus. Well actualy he got more 3's then 4's because John couldn't focus, alot. But he did all right, he sat at his seat in the lecture hall and waited for the teacher to begain the lesson. Looking to either side of him the closest person on his right was one of Karkat's minion's Nepeta Lejion, and on his left was probably the smartest person in school (Questionably) Mituna Captor.

Nepeta was a straight 3 student who would be a straight 1 student, if she wasn't friends with smart people like Sollux Captor and Karkat. She was nice, but vicious. She was one of the best memebers of the boxing club, archery club, and volley ball team, she could do anything she wanted it all came easier to her. While academics was a little harder she got by with help from friends. John liked Nepeta, she was cute and atheletic, but his romantic feelings for her were limited to the "Hey look a cute girl!" level.

Mituna the (questionably) smartest guy in school was a self-proclaimed psyhic who just lost his powers in an accident. He got all the best grades, in another universe he may have been mentaly challenged, here he was clever, methological and organized. He hung with a group who called them selves the "Alphas" the alphas were all seniors with exceptional skill at something, only the best got to hang with the alphas and Mituna being the (questionably) smartest guy in school he was a pretigious member. He was only rivaled by Sollux Captor, Jade Harley, and Terezi Pyrope, but he had the highest test scores on the last all school test so he was the official smartest, however he and Sollux had actualy tied with 100% but Mituna was first in alphabetical order and got put first in the list. The list had them both at number one but top of the list was the requirement for smartest in school so Sollux got the short end of the stick. But Mituna got stuck with (questionably) in his social portfolio so it kinda evened out. That aside he was on the academic team, and the soccer team.

So senior's on both side's one an Alpha and one was among Karkat's gang. A social death trap, but fortunatly Mituna was actualy listening to the lecture, wierdo, and Nepeta was texting so he was safe...

"Sup runt"

Except from behind. He regonized the voice any where,

Cronos Ampora, senior, and Alpha. Got into the alpha's with his quitar skills, basketball supermacy and social sleekness. He was the sum of everything John despised, talented, athletic, popular, a creep and a jerk. John doesn't care about Cronos much so he doesn't really know too much about him. Other than he is a pain in the ass and here he was thinking he would actualy learn something.

John tried to ignore him but the senior insisted

"Runt are you ignoreing me?"

John was really starting to hate Honors Calculus. Thinking about it he wasn't sure how Cronos got into this class.

"Listen up, you better start listeing or you won't be looking so pretty come tommorow, oh wait you never looked pretty. Oh what ever, point is start listening to me or begain wishing you were some one else."

"Shut up Cronos"

"Oooh the nerds got a tounge, I think I'll cut that out later."

Cronos looked over at Nepeta

"Hey Lejion want to help me bludgeon this runt after school, I heard you have a mean left hook."

A pencil sails through the air and hits Cronos in the head, he falls back into his seat

"AC hits the big bully with an arrow from her trusty bow and saves the poor soft more from his cruel bantering"

Cronos sneered

"I dare you to try that again Leijon!"

Cronos was lifted out of his seat, a loud voices booms through out the room

"I believe Cronos's is bleeding, allow me to take him to the nurse's office."

The frail teacher Tinna Bull wimpered into her microphone "Yes go ahead Mr. Zahhak"

Zahhak?! Oh god you had no idea HE was in this class. You feel bad for your teacher, she was a frail old lady and he had to deal with some one as intimdateing as that in her class, even though they were in the back of the auditorium, the voice of Equius could make anyone's bone's chill. Anyway less pitying you teacher more social background.

Equius Zahhak, THE school's sports authority. Captain of the boxing club, wrestling team, fencing team, cross country, archery club, swimming team, star line backer of the football team, best defesive player of the basketball team, and the top of the class in weight training, physical conditioning and Honors robotics. The guy was a hell of a guy. No one is really sure how we makes it to all of his extra curricular activites. He would definatly have been an alpha, if his closest friend Nepeta wasn't among Karkat's gang. So between him and Sollux, Karkat's group were constantly considered above the Alpha's but no one ever really said it. Anyway Equius scares John, in another universe he may have been a creep with a obsesson with hoofbeast, but in reality he was muscle bound, sweat ball with a thick german accent. It was scary, while he isn't fetishtic, he smells awful, he is intimidateing and could snap John's neck on accident. He tried to avoid him.

After Equius 'escorted' Cronos to the nurse's office for the bloody nose, that he didn't have but would have by the time he got there, the lecture resumed. Nepeta look at John

"Did the big bully bother you?"

"Thanks to you he didn't. Thanks a lot."

"You're Welcome :33"

Then Nepeta is back in Nepeta land doing who know's what with her phone.

Class continues, after a few minutes Equius is back and Cronos isn't. The lecture goes on pretty dull but informative. By the end of class, John feels he should properly thank Equius for stepping in, even if he scared him a lot.

While everyone was fileing out of the lecture hall, John aprroached him

"Hey Equius, thanks for dealing with Cronos."

"It was nothing, but in the future, don't get Nepeta dragged into your problems."

The words roll off his tounge like thunder, yeash how can people have full on conversatons with this guy?

"Right I'll do my best. Thanks again."

John scurries off but he can feel Equius looking at him, you hate it when he would just stand there, and watch.

It was a long walk to John's next class, and he just tries to move through the crowd when he seems the back of a faimilar head.

"DAVE! Dave! Hey wait up!"

The notorious cool kid turns around and looks at the inbound Eggbert

"Calm your shits, Eggbert. What's happen?"

"Had a bit of a hectic day, I ended up getting saved from Cronos by Z-Thunder."

"God don't call him that."

"What it's a good nickname?!"

"If Equius found out you called him that you would be crushed to a paste. On accident."

"Don't remind me."

"So has the Prankster Pimp seen any action today?"

"No..."

"Don't get so down John man, some day you will be covered in bitches."

"Really?"

"Definatly."

"Who made you such an authority?"

"The lips of Terezi, both Peixes, Roxy, Damra, and Harley."

"I forgot how long the list has gotten. How do you go through so many?"

"Yeah, Terezi lasted a bit but things just got akward, Meenah was a bitch so that didn't last long, Feferi was too nice so I had to let her go she deserves a nice guy, Roxy just wasn't ready to commit to one guy so it ended fast, Damra just got wierd I thought it would be cool and ironic but... Anyway Jade is actualy doing pretty good I might actualy keep her a while."

"Yup green as grass Jade, you are slipping up Dave."

Dave pushed John into a wall and held him there

"Watch your mouth, she's a nice girl with class."

John snickered

"I thought you gave up nice girls for their own good?"

"Jade's diffrent, she has this effect on people, bad people don't change her she changes bad people."

"So you want Jade to make a better you out of you?"

Dave let John off the wall

"I guess, maybe. So any ladies catch your eyes?"

"Not really, just waiting for the right someone."

"John you can't wait for the right person to find you, the best gems are found deep below the ground, they don't fall out of the sky."

"Whatever, there's our class."
