Hello guys! :) I've decided to start a new story, since I've only got '100 Ships to Sail' and 'The Good Spy'. I figured I might actually be able to handle another one, since the one shots are usually easy to write and I don't update 'The Good Spy' until each chapter has around fifty views, but anyways… onto the story! x)


Sollux wasn't too much of a morning person. On a normal day, he would hit 'snooze' on his alarm around three times and then Psiioniic would come up and yell, "Get your ath out of bed!" This was one of those mornings.

Sollux sighed and finally listened to Psiioniic's demand. He grabbed his regular school clothes out of the closet (he wore dark skinny jeans and a black shirt with a yellow Gemini sign) and headed for the bathroom to get ready.

He took a nice, warm shower. He tried not to stay in too long or else he'd miss the bus. After he finished, he looked in the mirror so he could spike up his hair. That was his everyday hair-do. He brushed his teeth, flossed, and used his mustard yellow mouth wash. Finally, he picked his glasses up off the bathroom counter and put them on. He pushed them up the bridge of his nose and looked in the mirror grimly. It was time to go to school.

Sollux ran down the stairs and went into the kitchen where Psiioniic was making honey toast. He quickly grabbed a piece on his way through, ripping a huge chuck out of it right quick. "Bye, Thii…" He muttered, throwing his backpack over his shoulder and exiting the house before Psiioniic even answer back.

"Oh, how I hate morningth," Sollux grumbled. He walked his normal block and a half to the bus stop, and as usual, only a sea dweller was there.

"Sol, I hate mornin's," Eridan complained when his friend made it to the bus stop.

Sollux rolled his eyes under his red and blue lenses, "Do you think I could pothibly feel any different? Morningth are the wortht part of the day… ethpecially when you're here to ruin it even more."

"That was offensive!" Eridan growled, "Why do you gotta always be so grumpy? Even when it isn't mornin', you act like this."

"Up yourth, fishdick," He shot back, and just as the bus arrived, too. What a plus.

The two boys climbed the steps of the bus slowly, just trying to bug one another. The bus driver nodded to greet them, "Hello boys."

"Thup, Mr. Scratch," Sollux said. Eridan didn't even acknowledge the poor guy. Of course, Doc Scratch didn't like the sea dweller too much either, so it was okay.

Sollux took the very last seat in the bus, and it wasn't because he wanted to jump five feet in the air at every speed bump. He just didn't like being in the front. Trolls and kids alike looked at him funny, which was kind of annoying. How would you feel if people passed and looked at you funny? If you'd laugh, sorry, but he wasn't one for lots of jokes, unless it had something to do with coding and stuff.

Sollux stared out the window, waiting for his friends' stop. He tapped on the glass impatiently, as if it would help the stop appear in the countryside faster then usual. He didn't really want to read to pass the time, considering the fast that he'd probably face plant into his book. That's not a good situation to be in on the bus, since the older trolls would probably draw all over your face with a sharpie or something. He laid his head on the window and might've drifted off…

"Sollux, you stupid nook stain, wake the fuck up!" A voice cried out. Sollux opened his eyes to see Karkat (as if it wasn't obvious) sitting next to him, and Terezi and Gamzee across the isle.

"What's up, motherfucker?"Gamzee said in his regular sky high tone.

Terezi grinned, "Hello, Sollux. Don't you look well rested this morning?" She cackled at her own joke, which really wasn't funny. She didn't notice or care, for that matter.

"Thankth for screaming in my ear, KK," Sollux lisped annoyingly, "I totally appreciate it."

"I don't really give a rat's ass about your thanks," Karkat responded. He leaned back in his seat and stared at the back of the leather seat back in front of him. The four sat there for quite a while before anyone really said anything.

Finally, Terezi attempted to start up another conversation, "So, who's excited to bullshit that math test today? I am already prepared, how about you guys? Hehe.

"I am gonna motherfuckin' ace that test, man," Gamzee said with a dreamy look in his eye. Then he kind of just drifted off while looking at the ceiling. Some drool dripped out of his mouth. Gross.

"I actually thtudied, unlike the retht of you," Sollux stated proudly.

Karkat groaned, "Oh, here we go again with the 'I'm better then everyone else, I study, I code things, so I'm just a fucking boss' bullshit. Give it a rest."

"I wasn't even trying to do that," He replied, "but now that you mention it, I am quite a smart boss."

"Fuck you."

Terezi cackled at the two boys' argument. It was actually somewhat amusing from a bystander, especially if they were as close as an isle's width away. It was entertaining to listen to the name calling and the threats that didn't make any sense.

The entertainment was interrupted by Doc Scratch's voice, "Alright kids, you can get off now."

At that moment, every single pupil on that bus jumped out of their seat and ran straight to the sliding doors. Of course, Terezi, Gamzee, Sollux, and Karkat were all in the very back and would stay in the very back. Everyone always shut them out, making them perfect candidates for last in line. No one wanted to be last in line.

The four trolls crowded themselves off the bus and followed the line of people into gym's entrance. They turned and walked up the staircase to the gym balcony, where all of the bus riders sat until the first bell rang, telling everyone to start the day.

The group of four immediately split, almost as if they shouldn't be seen on school grounds together or something. That was definitely not the case, however, since they were together in and out of class almost all of the time. They all had other friends though, but they weren't as close as the four. No, never as close as the four.

Sollux sat alone in the far back of the bleachers until the bell rang. He liked sitting up there, it made him feel like he could watch everyone else with a close eye. He could make sure his friends were okay, and see who was at school who he didn't like. It was always helpful. Today he saw nothing. What a waste.


After Sollux had gathered all of his things (books, papers, etc.), he headed to his first period class which happened to be Language Arts, his least favorite subject.

He didn't like Language Arts because he wasn't creative. He was great at spelling and grammar, but stories or projects he was usually horrible at. He always got help from Karkat who made him watch stupid romcoms that didn't make any sense, but they got him A's, so why not?

Sollux arrived in the classroom just before the bell rang. He took his seat in the back left corner of the class. He loved his seat. No one really bugged him sense the seat next to him wasn't taken and he could get a view of the board and the teacher perfectly.

"G-good mro- um, morning class!" Mrs. Lalonde spoke to the class, "Would you ples- pls- please turn your attention to the for- front of the calssroom- I mean, classroom." Everyone watched the front of the classroom eagerly.

"We have a new sut- student today," The teacher said, obviously drunk off her rocker, "This is Dave Stir- Strider." She gestured to a kid Sollux hadn't even noticed standing up front before.

This 'Dave' had blonde hair and dark shades covering his eyes. His shirt was white with red sleeves and a broken record in the middle. He wore baggy jeans and vans that were barely showing because of the bags.

"Sup," He said, nodding his head. He had practically no emotion in his look or his voice.

Mrs. Lalonde pointed back at Sollux, who froze instantly, "D-Dave, you go sit back thre- there, next to Slo- Sollo- just go sit next to that troll kid guy!" Dave obeyed her and walked back to the corner, taking the seat next to Sollux.

Was this going to be a good time or what?


So, what do you guys think about it so far?
This is probably like, the longest chapter I've ever written, which just shows how lazy I am.
But I did indeed work hard on this and I liked it a lot.
Please review, favorite, alert, or anything else you'd like! :3
