Your body is limp. You're on the verge of death. There is nothing to do. You just lay there dying in the arms of your crush, Dave Strider. "I- I" you manage to say, short of breath, yet you can't seem to find your words. You see him one final time, chaos around you, yet this image is still. Your vision goes black.

*1 Year Earlier*

"Mom, I'll be fine just go!" you say to your overly dramatic mother. "But Melody darling, it's your 4th new school in this year. Please at least give me a hug." You reluctantly give her a hug, as you let go of her she starts crying again. You notice people are staring at you. "Bye mom" you say embarrassed. "Have a good day honey!" she yells "Try not to get into trouble!"

You sigh, you walk into the cafeteria. "All high school students must stay here before the first bell rings" says your new principal. "Here's your schedule, have a fantastic day!" You walk over to one of the empty tables. You're probably not going to make very much friends. Its 7:30, school starts at 8:30. "Fuck, why did mom drop me off so early!" you mutter to yourself. You pull out a bag of your favorite candy, Red Hot's, and you start eating some. "Hey, can I have some?" says a guy you didn't even notice. How could you not have noticed him, Ugh I'm an idiot, he was sitting right next to me! "Um… Sure" you give him a handful. "Thanks, I'm Dave" he says as he starts chewing on one. "Uh, Hi I'm Melody…" Okay this is getting really awkward. Plus the fact that he is wearing shades inside wasn't helping either. He finally breaks the awkward silence with "So, you're new right?" "Yep, isn't it obvious" you say with a smirk. He laughs a little then motions one of his friends over to the table. Instead of one of them coming, all three come. Oh great just great more people. " Guys, this is Melody" he says to his friends. "Hi!" said a very tall girl with green eyes and jet black hair, "I'm Jade and this is my twin brother John!" John look like jade but instead of green eyes he had icy blue ones. "This is my sister, Rose" said Dave. Rose was different defiantly not as perky as Jade, but not as laid back as Dave. "Hello, my name is Rose" she said very formally. You could tell by the way she dressed she was, indeed, a Goth. You stare over your shoulder behind you. You realize that a guy was lovingly staring at you the whole time. "Umm" you say alerting your new "friends". "Oh, that's just Eridan don't mind him, he hits on everyone" said John giving Eridan a dirty look. Eridan replies by sticking his tongue out and then, almost immediately, starts staring at you again. He walks over to you as you continue you conversation. "Excuse me" he says straight to you. "Can I havve directions?" "Where?" You ask sighing, worst pick-up line ever. "To your heart?" he says with a hopeful smile. You let you mouth get ahead of you again and say "Fuck off!" "Humph, wwell you sound like someone I knoww" Ugh, he has a really annoying speech impediment. "Wwell" you say mocking him, "I wwould lovve to meet him" He seemed really agitated as he went back to his seat, looking for a new girl to stare at. "OH!" Dave screamed at him "BURRRNN!" You giggle as he smiles at you; this was going to be a great year.
