Prologue.

Generally when alarm clocks are heard the first reaction is to smash the offending noise. Let's be honest though, I was ready for this. I had been up preparing for this day since approximately three in the morning waiting for the annoying ringing signaling the start of my day. Because today was just not a normal day. Well that and I couldn't sleep. Today was the day I returned to the hell. That is to say, Alternia High School. I considered coming up with something more clever for it, but hell just seems so concise and fitting. I briefly wondered if anyone knew I was going to show up today. I doubted it. I always did my best to catch everyone by surprise.

And the one person that I wanted to know I was coming back probably figured I wanted to kill him. That was very likely, but also widely inaccurate at the same time. Life can be funny like that. In all of my infinite wisdom I could not, or would not, explain exactly what happened. The only thing I can say that in result to an event that involved stairs I was suspended for approximately a month. Whenever kids say school sucks, I will now laugh in their face. Homework at home and nothing to do all day is not a vacation, let me tell you. You would think the super amazing Vriska would be able to take some fun from it, however this is a wildly inaccurate thought. I did NOT mean to push a certain cowardly classmate of mine all the way down a flight of stairs. Let's be honest though, it was probably character building for Tavros. If you think of it like that I practically did him a favor. Truly he should be appreciating what a good friend I am.

Today though, he won't be able to escape me. I don't mean to sound like a sexual predator or anything. But the only reason why I didn't get expelled for the little "stunt" I pulled is because I promised to apologize like the perfect little pupil with a very well thought out speech. I even had to turn in drafts for it and get it approved. I could practically recite the thing backwards for how well I knew it. I was going to try to stick with it too. To put things mildly, our relationship had never been the best. Most of the time I was joking with him about how much of a wimp he is. I am genuinely starting to feel bad for him; though the worst he got out of it was that he has to be in a wheel chair for a few months. Big baby.

I interrupt my musings to glance at the clock, which is basically a count down to public humiliation. My suspension was a very public ordeal and had attracted quite a bit of attention. Not to mention the fact that I had blue hair. What I am trying to say is that people will especially notice me today. I never really had a reputation up until that incident but now I am pretty sure I am considered the school's biggest bitch which is a lot for someone who is only a sophomore. With that bit of information in mind, I wanted to try to look less like a hoodlum and more like a regular average kid today. I opted to wear my black off the shoulder top and a regular pair of jeans. Perfectly average.

For the record it was now 7:24 which means in approximately a minute or two the bus will be here.

With that food for thought I run downstairs brushing past my sister Aranea, who was looking as serene and calm as ever. Which frankly should be illegal before eleven in the morning. "Have a good day at school!" She called to my retreating figure. I grunted a thanks and swiped her freshly made nutella toast, the perfect start to any day. She didn't even change her expression, it was almost like she made it for me. The likelihood of that was high, she often tried to be mom.

Once I made it to my bus stop, I slid to a stop. I celebrated my short victory of not slipping with a triumphant bite of my toast. Victory tasted so good. On that note though the bus skidded to a stop in front of me, tearing me out of my delicious hazel nut spread induced coma. The shock of that caused me to drop my toast, nutella going all the way down my shirt. "You have got to be fucking kidding me." I say in a deadpan as the bus door opens. The bus driver stares at me in a condescending way and I shuffle on the bus with no further complaints.
