Chapter 1- Cool kids
"Ugh is that the time already?" You think as your alarm blares. This was your first day of school in this new town. You were boarding in one of the rooms here with a girl named Rose. The name Rose was easy to remember, but the person wasn't nearly as simple as her name.
You get out of bed and get ready before school. You brush your _ hair, being a bit harsher than usual. You were pretty worried about the new school year. You choose a _ skirt with a floral print and a _ shirt. You go to get some breakfast when you see Rose laying on the couch watching T.V. She was alright, but she tended to go to parties a lot. She would be going to Dave Strider's house and drink during the parties. Rose would show up with her silvery blond hair in a mess looking like she was going to pass out. You didn't mind though, she was pretty nice outside of times like that.
You fix up some penut butter toast and begin eating breakfast. "Are you going to school? It's the first day of school you know," you say. She ignores you until you ask again. The program was boring to you then again you weren't the one watching. She replies to your question, "No. The first day of school is always boring. I'm tired anyways, Strider threw a great party last night."
Well that explained the slight slur in her voice. You wonder about how the party was but you don't ask about it. You smile, Rose reminded you of _ a guy you met last year. He was always doing the same things that Rose was. You wondered how he was until you looked at the clock.
It's getting late and you need to get to school. You pick up the extra piece of toast to eat on the way. "Bye Rose," you say as you walk out of the door. You hear a grunt from the other room where she was watching T.V. You keep eating your toast as you walk to the doors of the school. You take a deep breath hoping that today will be better than last year. You think over everything, 'It's ok _, it's just school.'
You hear somebody behind you. You turn around. There's a guy behind you with dark brown hair, it's so dark that it could be considered black. He's wearing a blue shirt and a green army jacket along with a pair of loose jeans. He smiles, "Nervous?" You nodded. So far this is better than the last school you went to. At least there was one person who cared about your feelings so far.
He seems a bit like a geek. His rectangle shaped glasses really fit the image. "What's your name?" he asks. He's been smiling since the very first words he said to you. This was a bit encouraging. "My name's _." "Are you new here? No wait, don't answer that. More like 'what's your first class'." You look at your schedule as another guy walks up.
He has the same type of hair as Rose and dark shades. He looks pretty relaxed with the posture and expression that he has. He's wearing a red shirt in contrast with the other guy's blue one. He looks at the other guy, "So Egbert found a girlfriend?" he says with a sly smile. "C'mon Dave," Egbert gives Dave a light punch in the arm, "you know I don't date." The two look like they could be pretty close friends. Dave starts smiling along with Egbert.
Egbert takes his attention away from Dave, "You never said what your first class was _."
You look again at your schedule: Math, Science, English, History, World Languages, Free class.
"Math. Could be a better class, at least I have a free class later," you say after examining your schedule. John smiles even wider. He must have a happy disposition. His friend Dave just face palmed when he took a quick look at John's schedule. "That's the same class as me!" he says smiling the whole time.
You follow him to your first class. At least he was pretty nice to you. You never actually heard his first name. "What's your first name anyways?" you ask. He replies promptly, "John Egbert, master prankster, expert magician." Weird, he doesn't seem like the prankster type.
You see the classroom doors number 118. He walks in and you follow. You see a few people already here. They don't stick out except one guy in the back. He's holding hands with a girl in the back. They don't seem like the everyday couple, but you don't judge people. Who said they had to be like everybody else anyway.
The guy was pale with bags under his eyes like he had been awake for days. He was wearing jeans and a black hoodie. He had black hair and eyes that were a sort of red color, not quite like a fire, but more like an ember.
The girl was wearing red shades. She also had black hair, but she wasn't quite so pale. She was drawing something as the guy looked over her shoulder. "No not quite that way, a bit more straight, got it. Wow Terezi that looks way better than the last one!" "I just wish I could see it a bit better," she sniffed the air, "Karkat there's somebody watching us," she said to the guy.
"Don't stare at my girlfriend fuckass! Who the hell do you think you are?" he yelled at you. Whoa, he was acting pretty different than he had been with Terezi. You responded to his question, no need to make him more angry, "My name's _. Sorry for staring. I just thought you guys looked cute together. Sorry again..."
"Well-" Karkat tried to say but Terezi stopped him, "I don't know what you're talking about, much less what we actually look like, but Karkat here is my boyfriend. I'm Terezi. Sorry if he overreacted." She stared in a single direction, never looking away. Her gaze was just a bit off. It was just over your head. You turned, nobody was behind you. "What are you looking at?" you asked.
Terezi stiffened, "I can't very well look at anything. I'm blind!" She seemed irritated. You didn't get the chance to apologize before class began.
This was going to be a very long year.
It was finally time for you free class. During this time you could do whatever you wanted until the school day ended. You decided to head to the music room. You find Karkat and John already there. John was sitting at the piano practicing a song. Karkat was tuning a guitar. "Hi John," you say. You had mostly followed John around all day; he seemed to know his way around the school. Karkat you had found out was a friend of John's.
You talked to him and managed to apologize for earlier. You found out that him cursing and yelling wasn't that out of the way. Every other time he had cursed at you that day you just ignored him. John on the other hand was a bit more relaxed. He truly loved to prank people. He threw a stuffed...thing called a smuppet into Dave's locker after lunch. Dave's expression was priceless, but you could tell that he was pretty mad at John for pranking him like that.
"So what do you guys know how to play?" you ask. "Piano," John says, "Karkat here knows guitar and violin. What do you play?"
"Does my voice count? I don't know instruments, but I would love to learn sometime."
Karkat joins the conversation, "Want to try playing something?"
"No I kind of want to practice a new song that I'm learning," you reply.
"What is it?" John asks.
You ignore him and start singing:
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down.
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background.
And she says,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
You never realized how much this song described how you felt.
Wow, that was super long! Congrats if you made it this far! Please rate, comment, suggest. Everything will be taken into consideration! Thanks again for reading!
