Your name is Johnathan Egbert, or as most call you John. Your a 5'2" boy with black hair, pretty blue eyes and tiny buck teeth that would melt the heart of anyone. Today, is you first day at your new school. You're terrified, you don't know a single soul here. Sadly you had to move here from Washington State because of your fathers new job. You stand waiting at the bus stop. You look around. Everything looks like one of those weird Japense cartoons your neighbor back, and best friend, home use to watch. Every tree on your block was either a cherry blossom or dogwood tree.
The bus pulls up. You walk on sitting in the first empty seat you find next to someone. Sadly it's next to a not so nice looking boy. He's short like you, snow white hair, a black hoodie with what looks like a gray cancer symbol on it, skinny jeans ,red sneakers and also bright red soul piercing eyes. The boy glares at you, your realize your staring at him and turn away quickly.
"Why don't you take a picture. It'll last longer glasses." He spoke with a New Yorkish sounding accent.
Oh great my first insulting nickname. You thought to yourself.
"S-Sorry... you seemed angry... and i have a name."
"You must be new here right?"
"Yeah... I'm John Egbert. I just moved here from Washington state... What's your name?"
"Karkat Vantas." You put your hand out as he shakes it.
"Nice to meet you Karkat."
"Sorry if I was a dick. I had this long ass fight with my brother this morning and it's just bothering me."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"We just met!"
"I know but... back in Washington my best friend Jade... well I was basically her therapist. So I'm good with problems ya know?" Karkat gave a small smile.
"I'll be sure to remember that for the future." The bus stopped picking up a few more kids.
"Kk. Who'th the kid thitting in my theat?!"
Wow. He has a lisp? Hmm how different.
"Sorry Sollux. John do you mind scooting closer to me so Sollux can sit?"
"Not at all." You moved closer to Karkat and Sollux sat down.
"Tho your new?" The lispy blond asked. He had a pair of thick glasses and bi-colored eyes, he wore a t-shirt with a yellow Gemini symbol, black jeans and different colored sneakers. He looked quite different but who were you to judge?
"Yeah. he just moved here from Washington."
"Yeah. Sorry i was in your seat."
"Ah it'th fine. Jutht don't do it again."
"Oh of course... If you don't mind me asking."
"The lithp?"
"Oh... yeah sorry"
"It'th fine. When I was younger my brother wath playing on the thwing thet we uthe to have and he jumped off hit hith head and kicked me in the teeth. Now he'th got thith mental handicap and I have a lithp..."
"Oh I'm so sorry."
"It'th okay. Were all over it. tho everythingth okay."
And now there was an awkward silence.
