Ink's POV
Walking. Looking at the floor. I'm tired. I want sleep. My arm stings from the fresh cuts. Their pushing me. Whispering. Talking. Hurting. I don't want to keep going. It's too hard. Why bother trying? I'm nothing. I'm a nobody. Everyone hates me. I wish I could just disappear. Why am I still here? Can't I just give up and finally sleep?
Last Year:
I was walking through the hallways going to my locker while looking at the ground zoning out, I'm so tired from all the exams I've been studying for. Then I saw someone in a distant when I got to my locker, When they turned around I was surprised who it was.
"Nightmare?" I said surprised why is he here? Was he waiting for me? If so why? He rolled is single blue eye as he hands me an envelope with my name on it.
"Don't ask just take the damn invite before I change my mind." Nightmare said annoyed as he stayed there as I opened the envelope and saw I that I am...invited to the party...NIGHTMARES PARTY? he and his gang are the ones that people wish to be a part of, wish to be invited. And he invited me?
"...a party?" I said stupidly, nice going Ink. I thought as I hugged my sketch book tightly to my chest.
"Nooooo~ a funeral. You idiot. of course It's a party, I don't care if your going or not. Dream does." Nightmare said sarcastically and being an asshole as always.
"Thanks, um...tell Dream that I'll think about it." I said while he just glared at me as he pushes me with his shoulder bumping into the lockers.
"Tell him yourself I ain't your messenger." Nightmare said annoyed. I glared back at him while he walked away. Then I looked at my invitation. Dream wanted me to come then. He probably annoyed Nightmare none stop just so I could come to the party with him?
"HELLO INK!" Blue yelled from the very end of the hallway as his voice echos, I smiled while opening my locker while Blue ran to me happier more than ever before."Hey Blue." I said getting my books and returning the books I had in my bag since I didn't need them in class today.
"I got invited! Are you going to the party?" Blue said excited while I just scoffed and smiled as I shook my head at Blue.
"Blue You always get invited to parties. This is the first time I ever got an invitation to a party. I don't feel like going." I said I'm not the type of monster to go to parties.
"C'mon! You haven't left your dorm in forever! You should go out more, and socialize and try to make new friends!" Blue said with stars in his eyes.
"I like staying in my dorm. It's quiet and dark and has my art supplies and I'm alone without anyone bothering me. I don't need to go to some stupid party, besides I Want to graduate and get the hell out of this place." I said which was nothing but the truth, I like to stay in my dorm. I'm not really a party monster...I just don't know...I feel I don't belong anywhere in this school except when I'm with Dream and Blue, Friends since Pre-K.
"Are you okay? You seem out of it today?" Blue asked. "Oh? Sorry, I'm just super tired I stayed up late studying for the Exams." I said truthfully as I closed my locker.
"Are you sure? If you want I can get Ms.Hernandez she can help you if there's anything bothering you." Blue said worried since a special friend of his that he never talks about to us was...going through with life who's giving them a bad time. His crush was depressed but I'm fine I'm not depressed I'm just stressed with school that's all.
"No, but I'll think about going maybe tomorrow, I'm quite busy today." I said just to reassure him but I will go tomorrow I want to show Ms.Hernandez my new Art/sketch.
"Oh okay!" Blue said by his expression I see his still worried.
"Think about going okay? If anything is bothering you...you can always talk to me. Or Dream." Blue said while I smiled back "I know Blue, I'm perfectly fine I'm just stressed and tired from school...Is...your brother doing okay?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"He's doing better! He's getting help to stop smoking and drinking, our brotherhood relationship is finally but slowly recovering going to counseling wasn't that bad as people say it is." Blue said with a smile as he hugged himself genuinely happy that things are working out with his brother.
"Glad to hear that Blue. Happy everything is working." I said as gave Blue a hug while he hugged back.
"...I'm so happy that you and Dream helped me. Thank you...who knows what would have happened if you guys didn't find help for me and my brother." Blue said as he hugged Ink tightly.
"No need to thank me, as cheesy as it sounds that's what real friends are about right?" I said as we both let go of the hug and looked at each other while Blue had stars in his sockets about to say the phrase we always said together since kids.
"Right by your side in bright beginnings to the depths of hell, till the end of time." Dream said giving the both of us a hug and also beating Blue while he looked disappointed and giving Dream the most adorable pout of the year of 201x.
"I wanted to say that! you took my spotlight!" Blue said pouting as Dream and I were laughing.
"Hahaha! Okay okay! I'm sorry we'll say at the same time alright?" Dream said with smile.
"By your side in bright beginnings to the depths of hell till the end-"
Bell rings*
"Oh no! We're going to be late! See you later Ink!" Blue said giving me a hug as he dragged Dream with him to class. "Come on Dream we'll be late for class!" I heard blue say in a distance.
"Of time..." I said softly.
️
Why couldn't I have classes with Blue and Dream? Why do I always end up being separated from them? I hope I passed my exam...at least a C...Why am I not smart like other monsters?
"Ink..." Mr. Classic or Sans that we call him gave me a serious. Cold. Creepy. Look.
"Y-Yes?" I said nervously as sweat rolled down my skull at the suspense.
"Amazing improvement." He said with a big wide smile and a wink as he hands me my chemistry exam."W-what?" I said shocked I gotten a B not perfect but it's a start.
"Oh my god..." I said holding my skull in surprise and shock and most of all relief. The bell rings dismissing us to Lunch, I ran out of the classroom running to where Dream and Blue are waiting for me.
"BLUE! DREAM! I PASSED! I PASSED MY EXAM!!!" I exclaimed happily as I showed them my Exam.
"I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!" Blue exclaimed with a huge smile, hugging me while I hugged back.
"See! I told you you can do it, you just need to have to stay positive have faith in yourself!" Dream said placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Oh my goodness I feel so relieved!" I said hugging my Exam to my chest.
I passed my final exams! I thought I was going to end up failing this exam, stay back or retake this class again. I finally can be in peace and not having to be worried sick by the remaining of the school year.
"Lets go get a Nice Cream! We need to celebrate your victory!" Blue said cheerfully as his blue scarf and unexplained wind blowing his scarf behind him, as the three of us walked together to celebrate.
️
"There! All finished." I said to myself, finishing my painting I am such in a good mood today since not only I passed my final exams, the school year is coming to an end and finally take a break. I heard someone knocking on my dorm loudly. Putting my precious brush down, opening the door.
"Dream?! Blue?!...and Fresh..." I said flatly as Fresh's name not that I dislike him or anything he's just...awkward whenever we are in the same room.
"Wut up." He said with a nod.
I'm surprised, since usually I'm alone at this time, and seeing them all dressed up and Fresh who was behind them as he teleported to my room putting his arm and putting his Weight on my shoulder since I'm short.
"We are going to the party come on dude! Get your bony tail ready for the most fun time of our lives!" Fresh exclaimed as Dream and Blue nodding in agreement.
"Party? but I'm not-" I tried to say but Dream interrupts.
"You were invited right? Why not go? This is the first time my brother invited you. He never lets me give invites for MY friends it's up to him and his gang. So why not take the chance?" Dream said with a smile.
"Well..." I Said thinking this through and fighting against myself weather or not should I go to the party...You know what I'll go. I deserve to have fun for once.
"Okay! I'll go to the party, I'll get ready!" I said as my friends smiled at me and cheered. I went to my closet looking at my clothes...damn...That moment and in a lifetime that you get, when you can't decide what to wear in a party. I picked out a dress that Mettaton my drama teacher, gave me as a gift after the play we did a few months ago. I went to the bathroom putting on my short brown dress on, I looked at myself in the mirror...I look weird don't I? Maybe I shouldn't go.
I'll just embarrass myself.
"Ink? Any minute now?" I heard Fresh say as I took a deep breath and opened the door.
"How do I look? I know it's weird but I wanted to try something new...and-" I said blushing embarrassed that I'm wearing a dress. This is the first time actually wearing one and...you know...it's just something new I want to try.
"You look AMAZING!!" Blue said nodding his head. "You look absolutely beautiful!!!" Dream said making me blush more and making me smile even more then ever before. Fresh gives me a thumbs up while his glasses read U Perfect-Bruh! Shaking my head I'm not perfect.
"Thanks blue! Thanks Dream! You too Fresh!" I said in a blushing, flustered mess. "Lets go!" I say with a smile as we left the dorm then locking my dorm and off to Nightmares Party with my friends.
️
We made it to the gymnasium loud blasting music different color lights shining out of the windows. There was Killer and another skeleton that I didn't recognize, they were in front of the entrance sitting at a table where they make sure no unwanted guests gets in Nightmares party unless you were on the list to Nightmares party. We are the next up in line while the skeleton in a white jacket with one Red socket while the other was white.
"Give me a sec I just-" he Said then looked up and looked straight at me. We just stared. Okay this is getting awkward.
"Um...just going to check if you four are in the list." He said as he checked the list.
"Dream." He said as Dream gave a big smile went inside the building and waiting for us.
"Blue." Blue Smiled excited as ever going inside the building.
"...Fresh...don't do anything weird. No pranks. No 90's music. It's your last warning." He said glaring a Fresh.
"C'mon dude ya got to admit 90's music are the best! You offend me." Fresh said with a amused smile while the other skeleton rolled his eye lights as Fresh giving me two thumbs up and teleported away.
"What's your name?" The skeleton asked I looked behind me to make sure he speaking to me or if he was talking to someone else.
"Mine?" I asked unsure.
"Yeah? Who else?" He said as he looked at me weirdly. Great going Ink now he probably thinks your retarded.
"Oh. Um. It's Ink. The names Ink." I said awkwardly as he flipped through the pages looking for my name.
"...What's yours?" I ask trying to start a conversation to make this less awkward for me.
"Cross." He said while looking all the names then it just fell into awkward silence. "Yep your on the list, you can go through. Have fun." Cross said as I nodded and walked through I looked back and smiled at him.
"Thank you..." I said, Cross looked at me and smiled back. "No problem." He said, and went back on his list I looked at the entrance I took a deep breath and went inside.
️
I never had this much fun in my life! Everyone is dancing and singing have the best time. I danced with my two best friends (Fresh left to Create his evil plan to Prank Monsters in the Swimming pool area) we drank a few drinks of fruit punch with alcohol mixed in.
Then when the DJ changed the song and when we heard the music starting my friends and myself and everyone in the party, we all screamed and cheered at the song. Seems that i'm not only one who loves this song...we all danced and jumped and sang, drank more and more of that Fruit punch.

️
The next day:
"What the he'll happened?" I said waking up in my dorm Ugh...my head feels like it's going to explode.
I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, I got changed to my other brown dresses that I liked but never wore because I was embarrassed but now I feel more confident about my self that I wanted to wear them now.
I brushed my teeth took some pain killers, my books and off to class I went. Walking to my classes with a slight tried look but other than that I'm happy, yesterday was the fun, hanging out with my friends was the best time of my life, maybe we should plan to go to the movies to watch Deadpool or-
"Look there he is."
"Disgusting."
"Gross."
"W-hat..." I said I saw people laughing at me. Looking at me with disgust. Shaking their head with disappointment. Monsters whispering. Everyone looking at their phones and looking at me.
Dream and Blue ran to me immediately hugging me saying something but I can't hear them. My Artificial soul pounding, Fear creeping down my spine. Dread. Tears starting to spill.
"Ink. Don't listen to them just ignore them. Please Come I'll explain-" Dream said and got interrupted by a group of female skeletons who snickered and laughing.
"Dirty little whore."
"Hahahahaha!"
"What the fuck are they laughing at?!" I yelled angry at everyone that their know something that I don't. PLEASE. Please it's not what I think it is...
"Nothing much just a video that's going around you didn't miss nothing here! See for yourself."
"Did you have fun?"
"I didn't know you were that desperate."
"Your such a slut."
"S H U T U P A L L O F Y O U !" Dream yelled in anger. Blue trying to comfort me.
I pulled away and ran away from everyone to my dorm. "Ink wait!" I heard Blue call out.
I ran away from school to my dorm slammed the door shut as I scratch my skull harshly.
"Oh no...oh my god! WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO?!!!! *sob* Everyone in the whole school seen it!!!" I sobbed as blood rolled down my face from the scratches, I scratched my skull even harder, I sat on my bed hugging my knees.
I cried on my bed. I felt someone pat my back trying to calm me down, comfort me. I looked up to see It was Fresh he looked upset and sad. I cried even harder, Fresh offered a hug me with open arms as I hugged him as I sobbed...
ThIs CaNT bE hApPeNiNg.
"It's okay Ink...w-we'll figure this out, we'll find a way to get rid of the video." Fresh said as he hugged me and trying everything he could to calm me down, trying to make me stop crying, trying to make-

"What am I going to do?! What if my mom sees it?! What will my mom say?! What-HOW am I supposed to explain this?!" I sobbed while Fresh hugging me tightly as I felt his tears.
Blue and Dream were in my Dorm with worried looks as Blue ran to my side hugging me as well.
"M Y M O M I S G O I N G T O H A T E M E."
"I'm sure if we explain she'll under-" Blue said.
"NO SHE WON'T!" I yelled pushing Fresh a Blue away violently as more tears rolling down my face mixed with my blood.
"Ink I'm so sorry." Dream said in attempt to hug my looked at him with hate spilling out of my artificial soul.
"No! Leave me alone! This is all your fault! I should have never come to your stupid party!! Now everyone thinks I'm a w-whore!" I yelled as teleported outside I ran I bumped into Cross he looked at me and saw blood and tears he looked worried but I pushed pass him and ran away I NEED to get out of here.
"INK!" I heard Cross yell my name but I ignored him. I WANT TO JUST DIE.
I cried. And cried. In the Forest sitting on the ground dirt, blood covered my dress...slamming my skull against the tree as blood rolled down the back of my skull.
"I-I'm sO stUpid."
To be continued.
