My name is Steven. Let me begin on what's happened in the past year here in the small town of Ebbot Springs, Washington. First of all, the barrier keeping monsters down deep under Mt. Ebbot was finally broken. By who you ask? Well, this little girl named Frisk broke the barrier. I know, I was skeptical as well. How could a little girl survive with a bunch of monsters underground? Apparently, she showed all of them mercy and befriended them. Back to the point, after the barrier was broken, monsters were finally starting to integrate into human society for the first time in hundreds, maybe thousands, of years. This, obviously, included some of the monsters moving into our small little town at the base of the mountain. I managed to actually become friends with two monsters, skeletons actually. Sans and Papyrus had moved into the house to the left of mine. We instantly became friends after talking, and Sans making the occasional pun here and there. Papyrus taught me how to make really great spaghetti, and Sans was always there to make me laugh. Now, that wouldn't be as bad if I wasn't a freshman in high school. You see, most of the students in my high school aren't 'overly fond' of monsters. This has effected the way people see me, since I am friends with Sans and Papyrus. People often insult me or my friends, physically or emotionally hurt me, and, the worst of all, downright telling me to kill myself. I haven't told my parents, or the 'Skeleton Bros', as Sans wanted him and Papyrus to be called, about anything. I don't want them to worry too much about me. I can take care of myself. At least, I think I can.

"Steven! Breakfast!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. My eyes snapped open from the sudden disturbance, I groaned as I sat up. To say that I felt crappy would be an understatement. Not because I felt sick, but because the dread that currently filled me about going to school. I absolutely hated going to that hell everyday. But, I try to get used to it. I only have... 3 and a half more years at that school. I sigh and get out of bed, attempting to rub the tiredness out of my eyes. I walk downstairs to see my mom pouring cereal for my brother, Jacob. He's lucky he's not in high school yet, he's only in 6th grade. Hopefully by the time he gets to high school, they wouldn't be as toxic towards him as they are to me. I trudged towards the table and sat down next to my brother, who started devouring the bowl of corn flakes in front of him. My mom turned around from the stove to look at me.
"What do you want to eat, Steven?" She asked me.
"I'll just have some toast, thanks." I told her. She gave me a worried expression.
"Are you sure? You haven't been eating a lot lately." My mom asked with worry.
"Yeah, I'm sure." I gave her a small smile, hoping she doesn't think it's fake. She nods and turned back to the stove to finish cooking herself some eggs. I then looked down at the table, thinking about all of the insults and possible beatings I might get today. There have been rumors that the school board might let monsters attend the high school after this school year. They were having an assembly today discussing the changes that would take affect next year, to give the students a heads up. A tap on my shoulder broke me away from my thoughts. I looked over to my right to see my brother looking at me.
"You okay?" He asked me, showing concern. I gave him a small smile and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm good little bro." I ruffled his hair a little bit. He smiled and fixed his hair, which had an abnormal amount of hair gel in it. He continued to eat his cereal until the whole bowl was empty. By this time, my mom had finally gave me a piece of toast, taking Jacob's bowl back to the sink.
"Alright, I'm gonna take Jacob to school. He has picture day today, and he has to be there early." My mom told me, putting her jacket on. Jacob also put his coat on, grabbing his backpack by the front door, "You'll be alright walking to school, right?" She asked. 'No.' I thought to myself. Instead of telling her that, I nodded my head and assured her that I would be fine. After the two of them left, I sighed sadly and took a bite of the piece of toast. I put the piece back on the plate, not hungry anymore.
"Hey, Kiddo!" A voice said behind me, startling me.
"OH FFFFFFFFFFF-" I started to yell, falling off the chair. I felt bony arms catch me before I hit the ground.
"Jeez, kid. Never knew you would 'fall' for me," the voice started to chuckle.
"Oh my god, Sans. Really?" I asked, getting back to my feet. I turned around to meet the skeleton donning his blue hoodie.
"What?" He asked, playing dumb. I smiled slightly and grabbed my toast from the plate.
"I know I said your teleporting powers were cool, but if you're gonna scare me with it all the time I might not think its cool anymore," I said, taking a bite out of my toast. The toast was cold at this point, making me put it back on the plate.
"What's the point of having it then if I can't scare ya?" Sans chuckled. I smiled slightly, trying to hide the dread I currently felt. But, I don't think it worked, since he put on a slightly more serious expression.
"You okay? You seem kind of off today." Sans asked me, curiosity in his voice.
"Yeah, I-I'm fine," I stuttered. I walked over to the door to get my jacket and my backpack. "I gotta get to school." I opened the door and walked down the concrete path to the sidewalk. I turned and saw that Sans had also walked out of my house and closed the door. I waved to him farewell and continued to walk down the sidewalk towards hell- I mean school.
...
"Hey, it's the monster lover!" Someone shouted at me. 'Oh no' I thought to myself, dread filling me more and more. I continued to put books into my locker until someone slammed it shut in front of me. I swung around quickly to meet one of the jocks, Chase.
"What do you want, Chase." I said coldly, looking up at him. Chase then proceeded to grab me by my collar and slam me against the lockers behind me. 'Bad Idea' I winced in pain as he stared daggers at me.
"Don't talk to me like that unless you want a beating, punk!" He screamed at me, causing tears to roll down my face. "Oh? You're gonna cry now? You're pathetic, you know that?" He dropped me to the ground, which made me yelp. I looked to the people around me, who were all holding back laughter. Until, one person couldn't hold back and erupted into a fit of laughing, causing the whole crowd to start howling. More tears formed as I stood up and ran. I ran as far away from that hell as my legs would take me.

~hey guys! This is my first Undertale story, so I might not be used to writing each character yet. I would love any feedback or tips that could help me. Thanks!
