John had always been a good friend of mine. But I couldn't stop my feelings of affection for him. He was known to be quite a lady's man at times, and it was no surprise to anyone if he stole their heart. What with his bright blue eyes and crazy hair that swept far into his face nobody could say he wasn't attractive. But I still found it a bit shocking that I'd fallen for him. He'd always been just a friend to me and thinking of us together as a couple struck me as a little bit odd.
I knew he didn't like me the same way. He'd always seen me as a good friend. And he also liked someone else, a girl named Vriska. She's a bratty bitch but I can't say I blame her for being that way. Her family is filthy rich and she's been spoiled since the day she was born.
She always got what she wanted. And for the time being, she wants John.
This is the first time I've ever tried something like this, so bear with me. If it turns out terrible, I'll delete it. And. . .I guess I should tell you who I am, shouldn't I.
I'm Karkat Vantas. I'm an idiot who fell in love with the wrong boy. This may go on for a while. Please continue reading for exactly what happened on this very day.
It was after school and I was just about to walk home after an exhausting week when Nepeta, one of my best friend ran up to me. She had a worried expression. "What's going on? What's wrong?" I asked. She was rarely ever worried unless it was something serious. She panted a bit and straightened herself out.
She seemed a little bit nervous to tell me what was going on which intrigued me even more. I waited patiently though. "Uh, Karkitty, John just started talking about you." she started off. I wasn't surprised about that. A lot of people talked about me and John. It was one of the more famous ways of making fun of me. He always apologized when it got really bad though. "Like, relationship stuff." she mumbled.
That made me a lot more curious.
"What did he say?" I asked, tripping over my words like usual.
Nepeta squirmed in her place.
"What did he say?" I persisted.
She sighed and said in a huge rush, "He said that he'd never date a guy like you since you have bad posture, terrible hair and a terrible body type." I gasped a little bit. I covered my mouth. I could've expected that. I could've gotten myself prepared. I could've thought he might've been saying things like that behind my back. But the confirmation was far more terrible than I ever could've asked for.
"Karkat!" I heard someone call. I was doing good with holding in the tears. Until he showed his stupid face. I looked up foolishly and saw John run around the corner.
The tears started building up by the time eva turned around to see him. "Speak of the devil." she said, rolling up her sleeve. John stopped right in front of her. I couldn't look.
I covered my face and ran past him.
"Karkat, wait!" he called after me, but I was already gone.
