Okay, so this is going to be my first fanfiction! I really hope you like it, as I've had this prompt in mind for awhile.
Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you have absolutely no idea why you're here. Here meaning this huge theatre room, with cushy chairs and a large lit up stage up front. You're sitting in the back, mainly because you don't want to sit by all those other kids. The only person you knew where was your stoner friend, Gamzee Makara. He was sitting right next to you, sipping a bottle of Faygo. "Remind me again why we're here." Gamzee whispered. Although the guy was absolutely harmless, he had a deep scratchy voice that intimidated most people. "How should I know? My mom got a letter and sent me to this creepy place." You snapped back. Gamzee just chuckled and sat back.
When you said this place was creepy, you weren't kidding. This place looked like it had been up since, what? The 1600's? It was a big dark red building, with the paint peeling off, and ivy snaking up the walls. You knew the building was 4 floors tall, and the principal was some guy named Doc Scratch. As you looked around the large room, you notice a tall, skinny guy with glasses striding towards you. Did you know him? No. He didn't look familiar at all. He wore skinny gray jeans and a plain yellow T-Shirt. He plopped into a chair next to you. "Who the fuck are you?!" you shouted. He faced you and raised an eyebrow. "Sollux Captor. Nice to meet you too." The blonde nerdy-looking guy replied sarcastically. You rolled your eyes. "I'm Karkat. Vantas. Karkat Vantas." You muttered. He snickered and nodded without a word. "…do you know why we're here?" you asked. He looked as though he was about to answer, until someone's booming voice interrupted.
"Hello young men and ladies." Said a man with light blonde, nearly white, hair and pale blue eyes. His skin color was fair, and he looked easy to knock down. But his voice begged to differ. "I am Doc Scratch. Welcome to Alternia Academy." He smiled, flashing bleached white teeth at the crowd. A few kids clapped. Gamzee was one of them. "I am very glad to know you're all here. Let me start off with a few words…" he trailed. "As you all know, you're a group of 16 specifically picked kids to start school here. Why? Because I believe you have potential." He said, pausing for a while. He droned on and on about classes, rules, and such. "Alright, then. If you would please reach under your chairs." You blinked, a little puzzled. You reach under your chair and pull out what seems to be a slightly larger version of an iPod touch. Everyone does the same, except one girl with flaming red hair seems to have trouble finding hers. "It's not my fault I'm blind!" she shouted in an Irish accent. A girl next to her handed it to her. Everyone's screens lit up, showing the Alternia Academy symbol, two fancy ornate green A's. "If you wait, your schedule and roommates will appear." Doc Scratch continued. "And from there on, the instructions will show you around." Doc Scratch explained all the applications they would have, including Pesterchum, a photo app, a map of the school, and a calculator. "If you'd like, you can use your money to download other applications." He boomed. So, pretty much an iPod. On the screen, you saw your schedule, and who your roommate would be. You were paired up with... Sollux?
Sollux and you turned around and stared at each other. "Looks like we're gonna have a long year." he muttered. You groaned. Why the fuck did you have to be paired up with Chuckles McLispy here? A couple of girls got up, and squealed in delight and hugged. After about 15 minutes, Doc Scratch released all of you into the new school.
I'm going to continue until maybe a Chapter 3, when things get really heated. If you guys believe this story doesn't really have potential, I'll just stop. Any suggestions?
