Sorry for the lateness of this upload, I was having troubles picturing out the plot and had to work around with this some. This will be a story and with support from readers, a good future to myself, and a wee bit of fairy dust; I'm sure I'll finish it, no, positive.
I do not own Homestuck or any of the characters associated with it, I merely; write shit.

This is it, A105, I concluded, stopping right in front of the labeled locked door. I stuffed my free hand into my pocket searching around a bit before they caught on to the key that unlocks the beauty in front of me. I fumble with the key and, shakily, lining it up with the lock and pushing it inside the doorknob to my new blocksprite. Start to turn the key slowly in the lock, relishing in the moment as I hear the sweet unlocking 'click' as the key gets turned into place, and then I wrapped my sweating clawed fingers around the knob, turning it clockwise and pushing the door open.
An empty bedroom, that's fucking right, empty bedroom, met my gaze, well, excluding a lone bed that sat in the corner and a dresser. But other than that, not a fucking troll, human, fucking nothing else inhabited my new blocksprite dorm. Alas, it is one of the smallest dorms the school had but anything for privacy and solitude.
They'd all busted their nooks off to get into Skaia University, but I fucking was studying left and right, in the ablution trap, even in my recuperacoon when I could. Which sadly, to my misfortune, they did not have in the dorms of this school. I'd have to go without my nightly refreshing dips into the soothing green sludge known as sopor slime. I sighed let my bags slide off of my aching shoulder and drop down to the floor.
I think I should get some sleep but it's still too early for that, I close the door and make sure I lock it, I'm not taking any chances of someone coming in my room to murder me in the middle of the night, fuck that. I slide down the door, the cool air of the room feeling nice against my rather hot skin.
I bang my head back against my door and reach for my husktop bag, the sheer boredom already setting in. I might as well talk to the other shit stains and see if they all made it to their rooms alright.
I pull open the top of my husktop and bright light immediately blinds me, I hiss and blink furiously, my eyes dilating to the bright light in a very painful way. Only a few people in my list of chums are online, and they're the people I hate and never even really talk to.
I reclose the lid and place it down on the floor beside me and then I begin to struggle to stand up and trudge over to my bed, throwing my tired body upon it and closing my eyes for the first time in a long time.

Bang bang bang
"Kk wake the fuck up, ith almotht time to for the thudent orientation!" More banging "We're going to be late!" A deep groan sound emitted from my throat, my think pan already pounding against my skull like Sollux was on my door.
"I'm going to leave you by yourthelf if you don't-"
"ALRIGHT ALL FUCKING READY, I'M FUCKING AWAKE YOU LISPY ASSHAT" I scream up at the door, kicking my legs out and sitting up, stretching my arms above my head before stomping over to the door and jerking it open.
"Ith about time" Sollux started and was going to say something else before he noticed something funny, a wide smile broke across his face, and a hand came up to his mouth but he was unable to suppress the laughter that came out of his mouth.
"What the fuck is so funny?" I glare at him, looking behind me and seeing nothing of interest so it must have been me "ARE YOU FUCKING LAUGHING AT ME?"
"Y-your hair Kk" he managed to get out in between his fits of laughter. I glare harder at him and turn back in my room, going up to the body length mirror placed on the wall.
My hair looked like I took ten cans of human hair spray and a blow dryer then proceeded to grow crazy with them, in fact it looked like a fucking afro. Sollux was still laughing at the doorway, a light red blush finding its way on my cheeks in embarrassment.
"STOP FUCKING LAUGHING, I'LL FUCKING END YOU, YOU STUPID NOOK EATING ASSHOLE" I scream at him as I run to my bags, taking my rarely used hairbrush out and working away at my hair. I usually have messy sloppy bed hair, but not as bad as this. I wince as the brush catches on to random knots in my hair and occasionally knocking or scraping against my nubby horns. I manage to get it a little like my normal hairstyle, but messier than usual.
"Are you reathy now?" Sollux asked, snorting lightly and wiping his eyes from under his bi-colored shades.
"Yeah, whatever, I'll change clothes when I get back" I conclude, not wanting to be late to the stupid orientation, and walk over to him scowl already in place. I make sure to lock my door before following him down the hallway to two large double doors; I think that's the gym.
He rushes forward slightly and shoves one of the door open, I follow him inside and fuck there's a shit ton of people crowded in here, trolls, humans, and even some cherubs. I stay close to Sollux as he pushes us through the cramped up spaces in-between different groups of kids to our own group.
"Bout time you two showed up, it's almost about to start!" A cheerful voice, the owner of that voice belonging to John. He had that goofy nerdy smile smeared across his face, his front teeth sticking out in a nerdy fashion when he did.
"Shut the fuck up shit face, I was tired" I snap at him.
"Hith hair wath all poofy and thuff" Sollux added in, I shot him a glare and flipped him the bird.
"Poofy?" Rose, another human friend of mine, popped in cocking an eyebrow at me. She had short blonde hair and her usual black headband adorning it. Kanaya, who I am certain is her matesprit because of their constant contact and seemingly never leave each other's side, was at her side also somewhat interested.
"Don't fucking worry about it you nosy nook sniffers" I snap at them, I was going to say more but a loud booming voice interrupted me before I could.
"Freshman of Skaia University, if I could please have your attention" a very tall man spoke into a microphone, few students stopped chatting and most continued "I SAID MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION" the man said, much louder and with more authority, all students alike froze and attention was focused on him, I scowled, too loud.
He stood on top of the stage at the front of the gym, some teachers lined up behind him obviously not in the mood for nonsense as they had just come back from there summer break. The head man, the principal I assumed smiled brightly, flashing off his rather straight teeth.
"I, as you all may have heard, am your Principal; Mr. Scratch" he started, twirling the microphone cord in his hand and examined the wide majority of students "I must say this is a rather large freshman class this year, I expect high standards from each and every one of you. The first rule of Skaia University is that there is absolutely NO slacking off. If you miss a test, you make it up within the following week or a mark will be added to your file. Now I see many puzzled looks already, a mark my dear learners, is a record of an event that will go on your student file. If a total of 3 marks accumulate you will get a lovely day with moi and an afternoon helping organize the library, which I'm sure you all know, is quite notorious for its many high shelves. If make it to 6 marks then we will contact your family and you will mop every inch of the school for six consecutive days. And well if you make it to 10 marks…" He paused giving a rather too long dramatic pause "Immediate expulsion"
"Dang, that's kind of harth" Sollux leaned over and whispered to me, I nodded in agreement a shushed him, trying to pay attention to the rules.
"Rule number 2; no fighting. It's simple, we do not tolerate it, one fight accounts for 3 marks" he raised his hand with three fingers to emphasize the severity of one fight "Rule number 3; no drugs or alcohol are to be brought upon school grounds, if we find any links to any student, the student will immediately be expulsed from Skaia, unless…there is a given and valid reason for that certain student to have possession of a drug"
"Now then, tardies, I myself cannot speak on behalf for any teachers on their own tardy policies, but on behalf of the school, if you get 10 or more tardies in a semester for one class, it counts as a mark" this was getting really boring really fast, I yawned and scratched the back of my head "So many rules I know but it is dire necessity that I go over them with you. I will tolerate no excuses when I meet half of you in my office within the next year. Rule number 4; there will be no mocking, teasing, or picking at ANY student here. Blood color, race, horns, hair, none of that matter here, we are all under the same roof and we will treat each other as family. If anything gets reported in, a mark will be added to the bullies file
Other than that I hope you all have a WONDERFUL school year, now then, each table aligning the gym is in alphabetical order, go to the one that has your last initial on it and stand in line for you schedule, school starts tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp, have a splendid day"
Everyone rushed towards the tables, and I finally got a good look at the principal, I assumed he was human but I was wrong…I think? He had no horns yet his skin was somewhat greenish tinted, and he was much larger than any of the humans yet he looked like them.
"You look like you're either constipated or in deep thought" Kanaya butted in, efficiently ruining my thought process.
"YOU'RE FUCKING DISGUSTING, I'M SO DONE WITH YOU, YOU BUCKET OF HUMAN HORSE SHIT" I yell at her, gaining a few disgusted glances.
"I'm going to guess it was the latter" she smiled, I glared at her and stormed off to the table marked with V. The line wasn't that long, not many people have a last name starting with V. There was a rather grumpy looking woman sitting at the table.
"Name" she more ordered than asked.
"Vantas, Karkat Vantas" I grumble back, not really bothered by her attitude, if I were in her situation I'd be just as grumpy. She thrusted my schedule at me then turned to the next person in line; I grabbed at it and skimmed over the periods and names.
Name: Karkat Vantas
Species: Troll
Gender: Male
Class: Freshman
1st Period:
Room 201
Class: English
Teacher: Mr. English
2nd Period:
Room 102

3rd Period:
Room 426

4th Period:

What in the holy fuck was up with the names? Mr. English? It's like they were born for the jobs, fucking creepy.
"Hey, what clasthes did you get?" Sollux spoke up, I let out yet another embarrassing man squeak.
"QUIT SNEAKING UP BEHIND ME!" A growl at him, baring my sad excuse for teeth at him. He ignored my outburst and stared at my schedule, then comparing it to his own.
"We hath art together" he informed me, showing me his own schedule. He had Mr. English too, just in a different period.
"Oh joy, a class with you allow me to show you my obvious excitement" I roll my eyes and shove my paper into my pocket, scowl even deeper.
"You know you love me, Kk" he grinned, pushing his glasses up his nose.
"Whatever fuckass"
~~~xxxx~~~
"Too many gogdamn stairs!" I pant in frustration, finally making it back down to the first floor, sweat lining my forehead. I had to travel throughout the huge ass building to find my classes, I didn't get to meet the teachers though, and they were all rushing around the building prepping for the start of the semester tomorrow. It was understandable.
I have English with Kanaya and Rose, Gym with John, and Art with Sollux. Unfortunately none of my friends were taking Geometry honors so I was stuck in that alone. As much as I horse ass around and be a dick around them I really do care, sometimes at least, and I being in a class without anyone I know will be rather odd. It was already hard enough to hide my blood color, the only two people whom I've trusted my disgusting secret with are Kanaya and Sollux simply because they are like siblings to me and I trust them.
Even though there was a rule against bullying and discrimination within the school, I knew that it really did matter. You can't cheat the hemospectrum, and I could tell just by the haughty attitude of the higher bloods that they didn't give a damn about "equality".
I shouldn't be worrying myself over this; it's horrid to think about it before bed. I don't need any more night terrors. I just want to crawl into sopor slime and fall asleep. But a creaky bed awaits me. I pull out my phone, ignoring any texts and setting my alarm for six A.M. It was going to be a rough fucking day tomorrow.
