John was working feverishly to finish his summer Biology report. He knew this was going to be another late nighter; he received a message from Karkat around one in the morning.

He should have expected something like that from his boyfriend. He never understood why Karkat was so emotionally distant. He logged out of the chat site, so Karkat thought he went to bed. He instead went back to typing the rest of his report. He finished his report, printed it off and shut his computer down. He checked the time and saw he only had an hour before the bus came by to pick him up. John went through his normal morning routine, and then ran out to catch the bus.

Dave woke up to the feeling of his brother quickly throwing a bucket of cold water on him. He quickly jolted up, and grabbed his sword and blocked just in time to stop a katana from Bro cutting him. "Damn it Bro, I just woke up!" Dave said rolling off his bed.

"Always be ready." Bro said, and quickly exited the room. Dave kept his blade with him as he grabbed some clean clothes, and went to take a shower. He threw some puppets out of the shower, and turned the water on hot. He took off his clothes, and went on to wash himself. Bro quickly and stealthily swapped Dave's clothes with a skirt, heels, panties, and t-shirt. Dave got out and without looking put the shirt on, then the panties. "BRO!" Dave yelled sensing something wrong.

Bro let a small smile slip through and put Dave's clothes outside the door, and knocked once. Dave quickly took his clothes and changed out of the shirt and panties to his regular broken record long sleeve, black skinny jeans, and black converse. He went ahead and grabbed his shades from his room, depositing the blade back against the wall, and picking up his backpack. He walked out the apartment and took the elevator down, and walked to the high school a block away.

He stopped out front and waited for his half-sister, Rose. He saw her walking up hand in hand with another girl, the other girl kissed Rose's cheek and went off to class. Rose walked over to Dave, "Hello brother, how are you and Dirk?" she asked adjusting her headband.

"Well, he threw cold water on me, tried to fight me, and switched out my clothes with women's clothes. All in all a normal morning in the Strider house." Dave said, fixing his sunglasses.

"Well, would like for me to show you around the school?" Rose said, walking into the building.

"Just because I am new doesn't mean I can't find my way." Dave said coolly. "So who was the chick with you? Did my sis get a woman?" Dave teased, in a cool fashion.

"Funny, has my brother finally come to terms with his homosexuality?" Rose smirked. Dave stared blank faced and kept walking. "I take that as a no." They walked past John who was busy putting his books away, and Karkat who came up to yell at him.

"What up with shouty back there?" Dave asked walking around waiting for the bell.

"That is Karkat, he tends to go on rage filled rants. Especially to his boyfriend." Rose said looking back at a fearful John, and an angry Karkat.

"Uh huh." Dave said and walked into the band room a second before the bell rang. He chilled in the back of the band room as the teacher was going over some of the songs they would be playing and such that. The rest of his classes went just like that, except he fell asleep in them. He got into math class, and was about to go to sleep when he saw that John kid with Karkat walk in. John sat next to him, and Karkat sat next to John.

"Hi, I'm John." John said, and extended a hand to Dave.

"Strider." Dave extended a fist, and John flinched just enough for Dave to see. John fist bumped Dave, and turned to face the teacher when they started calling role. Is he abused? Dave thought and raised his hand when his name was called. Dave lowered his head to sleep, and waited for the lunch bell to ring. He got his wish about an hour late, and he quickly walked out the room to the cafeteria. He got in line quickly and grabbed a bottle of apple juice, and went to sit alone at a table.

John sat at the table he normally sat at his normal table. Karkat sat beside him, and Rose and Kanaya sat beside her. "Hello John, how are you?"

"Great, I love all my classes so far." John gave a goofy grin.

"More than me?" Karkat said almost threateningly.

"No, of course not." John said worriedly. The rest of lunch they went onto eat their lunch and talk about their classes. Dave walked by their table and Dave flicked Rose's hair band. He gave a small smirk at her over his shoulder, and continued onto his next class. "Who the fuck is he?" Karkat snarled.

"My half-brother." Rose said.

"Half-brother?" John questioned.

"As in, her mother and his father were married at one point, and now are not." Kanaya explained. Before John could ask more the bell rang, he got up and threw his trash away, and ran off to biology. He turned in his assignment and grabbed a textbook and put it in his bag, and waited for the final bell to ring. He was the last to walk out of class and walked out of the school. Karkat grabbed him, and held him against the wall forcing him into a kiss. John didn't struggle, he just let Karkat get his fill, the he pulled away. "Come on, let's walk home together." Karkat said, forcefully gripping John's hand.

"Ok Karkat." John said, wincing slightly at the pain. He saw Dave walking by, and gave him a weird look. That is one cool dude. I wish I could get to know him. John thought, walking in the opposite direction of Dave.

A/N: So their school schedule is based off my school's. Which is first period, then second, then fourth, the an hour for lunch, then sixth for Even days; and first, third, fifth, lunch, seventh on odd.
