Reader POV:

A 11 year old boy with black hair arrived at his school. It was Monday, the start of a new school week. His emerald eyes darting from the left to the right, trying to find a friend. He saw another boy with blonde hair and picked up his pace.

" Hey Dirk! " Jake exclaimed, waving his hand in the air.

The blonde turned around, his pointy shades hiding his expression.

" Hey Jake. " Dirk simply responded.

Jake bounced up and down, his green" Adventure " bag's zippers making a clinking noise.

" Guess what i did exciting on the weekends?! "

" Jake please stop that. Some people are looking. "

the boy with an orange bag said, anxiety in his voice.

Jake stopped jumping and mumbled, " alright then. but you still have to guess.. "

Dirk gave a " hmm " and pretended that he was thinking hard.

"you found a flying bull with wings? "

Jake chuckled. " not exactly! My grandma bought me a skulltop with flashing eyes! "

it was obvious that he would say something about skulls since he'd loved them a lot.

" nice." Jake's friend replied.

RING RING RING!

"guess thats the be-" Jake was cut off by a small grey girl leaping on him.

" Hey Dirk! Hey Jake! Purrhaps you both can play with the rrest of the group in truth and dare at lunch? " Nepeta asked, her olive green eyes darting from Dirk to Jake and back again.

" sure. how about you Jake? " Dirk replied.

jake shrugged. " sure thing Nepeta! But where i ask? "

" oh! i furrgot to tell you! Under those trees near the benched offur there! " she said, pointing at a bench in the distance." i've gotta go! bye! see you there! "

" bye nepeta! " jake waved , the young troll waved back.

" guess we'll go to class now. "

dirk started to turn in the direction of D block, where both of their classes were in. Jake followed behind. -

Jake POV:

' Dick Strider? " i chuckled in his mind. The teacher had read Dirks name wrong . again.

' erm. theres no " DICK STRIDER" in this class. but theres a " DIRK STRIDER " in this class. ' Dirk said, loudly.

in the corner of my eye, i saw John cracking up a bit, hand covering his mouth trying not to show but failed badly.

' alright. Dirk are you present?' Ms Greeca asked, impatiently.

' here and im ironic as ever. ' dirk replied, a slight edge to his voice, making it sound challenging.

' feferi peixes? ' Ms greeca let out a sigh and moved on.

' )(ere! ' feferi, the highest blood of the trolls i think... exclaimed. gadzooks! i dont understand these troll things!

' Jake english? are you listening? "

i jerked my head to face Ms greeca.

" oh cripes! i wasnt listening! yes i am present! " i say very quickly.

Dirk gave me a look. wait.. was that a look of admiration? gah! those shades block everything! -

5 minutes later -

dirk POV

well isnt this ironic? i get caught for looking at someone. striders never get caught. i turn and stare at the clock and wait for recess.

' Strider! what do you think you're doing?! '

i snap back to reality and turn around. Dave. He was... oh no. the teacher took HIS SHADES!

' ms please. give those back. its personal! ' dave retorted, one hand covering his eyes and one trying to get his shades from the teacher.

' You are now forbidden to wear these shades! same goes for you Dirk! '

oh jeez. dont these teachers know that this is strider irony right here ? in a flash my shades are taken away. i cover my eyes instantly and mumble,

' ms.. honest please. stop. '

' MS GREECA PLEASE S̙̟̼͙͖̿ͩ̏͊̅ͮ̚͘T̻͚͔̰̥͙́O̵̥̖͂̂ͯͪ͊̚Pͩ͑̒͊̇ ͍̬̳̥͇̘̝̆ͣ̎͜T͇̳̖̪͇ͬͦ́ͅH̛̓ͤ̿̃͐A̸͍̮͇̱͕̙̽̔ͩͦ̀ͨͅṮ̋͊̊ͥͯ ̱ͫ̉̾̅͑̄̃ '

what the fuck was that? it kind of sounded like.. jake? i take my hand away from my face.

jake was slowly turning grey. oh shit. Ms greeca gave me my shades back and fell to the floor .

' PLEASE! DONT HURT ME!' she said, quaking in fear.

' jake! shit. calm down dude! ' i say, trying to bring my jake back.

Jake turned to me , his eyes glowing.

' jake. please. stop. ' i plea. i dont want anyone to get hurt just because of my pointy shades.

'Dͤ̉̿̕I̩̰̺ͣ̿͑̓͞r͐͆ͮ͡k̘ͯͯ̉͆̓ͦͦ?̙͍̰̜̣̉̽͗̆ͯ ̥̤͚̳͎͆̽̋? s̤͍̳̠͈̟̖̈̆̇ͤͪo̓ͬ͊҉̟̳͇̖̲͈rry. .. ' jake mumbled, his eyes were back to their natural forest green and his skin was their normal pale color.

he mumbled something i couldnt catch and fell. i immediately jumped over my desk and caught his before he could fall, faceflat on the floor.

' Dirk, y-you can t-take jake and c-c-calm him d-d.. down ... ' Ms greeca muttered, still in shock.

'ok' i reply and carry jake to the silver seat outside the class.

this is going to be a very long day. and yes. my shades are back on my face.

i just hope that nothing else goes wrong.
