John fucking Egbert. He couldn't make up his mind where this gathering was meant to happen. Since waking up at 8 to just now, he'd changed his mind three times. At this point you assume he's just dicking around pulling some stupid prank.

Your name is Dave Strider and you don't know why this bothers you so much.

You figure you better get ready anyway and go to take a shower, blasting some sick jams from the dock on the counter. Bro shouts at you to 'keep it down in there' so you turn it up and you assume that he goes back to sleep. The water temperature is just shy off of liquid hell and your hair is soaked in seconds.

"Shit" You rub your left wrist, why does this bother you so much? Even though you finished your hygienic care you just stand there, letting the water beat down on you back.

"Jesus Dave. You're 17. Get a hold of yourself, egderp probably thinks this shit is funny." Releasing your wrist, you step out of the shower and wrap a towel around your waist. You consider leaving the beats on for ironic purposes but your phone flashes, someone's trying to get hold of you. You return to your room before checking.

EctoBiologist (EB) began pestering turntechGodhead (TG) at 9:42

EB: dave

EB: dave guess what

EB: hey dave

EB: guess

TG: what?

EB: its stopped raining

TG: and?

EB: we're going to the park hehe

EB: but its muddy so bring clothes.

TG: why are we going there then?

EB: ummm because it stopped raining

TG: seriously, that's your reasoning? Oh hey lets go chill in the muddy, wet and freaking cold park?

EB: yeah that's pretty much it

TG: fucking brilliant. Whatever I'll be at the station at 12

EB: ok then

EB: I warned you about the clothes though

You should put clothes on, at least your shades are on already. You've been naked for a while, thank god your curtains a shut. Though you're positive that flighty broad across the road wouldn't mind the view. Actually you have half a mind to charge her per ogle, maybe you could convince her to pay you in apple juice. It seems to disappear in your house, no idea where it goes. You mutter under your breath a bit as you decide what to wear, eventually going for tight black jeans, a white button up shirt and heavy black lace up boots. You tie an overly large red and black sweater around your waist. Your eyes linger on a rubber band sitting by the edge of your desk and you reach for it, before pulling back and grabbing a black leather case that holds your piercings.

Today you're wearing your black ring snake bites, and black spikes in your lobe piercings. As well as one silver ring on your left eyebrow, not that you can really see it past your shades but hey man, it's there. Besides, you don't think Egbert has seen you with all your piercings in.

You stroll around the apartment, thinking about having toast before checking the clock. 10:30. Hey, seems like you're made of time today.

A/N

So this chapter isn't as long as I wanted it to be but I can't complain, graduating with good grades has to come first I suppose. Blegh. But anyway, I've seen so many fics where John is the unstable or hurting one, save a very impressive story I read yesterday. So I decided to shake things up with dave. This isn't gonna be super long and I will eventually get back to my other story, but for now reviews on this one would be great, this is only my second fic after all.
