"Please, don't make me go," I whine to my mother. It's been months since I've last seen my no good, dead-beat dad. And now, after 11 years of resentment, he asked if I wanted to come out to New York and stay with him for the summer, and no matter how much I begged; my mom is still making me go.

"Aw. Come on sweetheart, It'll be fun." FUN!? This will be the exact opposite of fun! But I don't say that aloud, instead I allow my mom to continue driving me to the airport. I wasn't going to let this big move bother me though, instead, I thought of it this way: Karkat lives in New York.

-Flashback-

I was talking with my friend Amy on Pesterchem when she sent me his chumhandle.

darkMistress ceased pestering royalyIdiotic at 12:30 p.m.

I look into my desk for a piece of paper and a pen and quickly write down the chumhandle Amy sent me. I had decided that I would talk to this kid first thing tomorrow. And that was how a beautieful friendship came to be.

-End of Flashback-

Everytime I think about Karkat and I's first conversation, it sent a warm sensation though me for some reason. After awhile I decide I should tell Karkat about me coming to NY, I take my phone out of my pocket and turn on Pesterchum.

carcinoGeneticist ceased pestering royalyIdiotic at 11:00 a.m.

Feeling satisfied with myself I snuggle against the seat and close my eyes. Slowly falling asleep.
