Your name is Jade Harley and you're new at school.

It's a good thing John is at this school, because if he wasn't, you'd be totally lost. You were just kind of standing there awkwardly until John saw you and took you over to his table with his friends. You think they all seem like great people! But now you're going with Karkat for a student tour, since the principle said someone had to, and you two have basically all the same classes together. You both get hall passes, and start to go around the school.

"This is the gym." Says Karkat, opening the gym door. "For math classes, obviously." You laugh and so does he. "And the change rooms are over there." he says, after you've both stopped laughing. Once you're done with the gym, he leads you back upstairs.

"So what are your favourite classes?" he asks. "I love science. And then there's art, and music." you say. "What about you?" "Math, Science. Art is pretty good too." he replies.

The rest of the tour is enjoyable. You have a feeling you and Karkat will be really good friends….. Or maybe more. NO. BAD JADE. YOU BARELY KNOW HIM. STOPPIT.

After the tour, you have to go to classes. You have Religion next, your least favourite subject. Karkat does too. But that's not for another 20 minutes. "So what do we do now? I don't see the point in barging into English class halfway through the lesson." You say. Karkat gives you a grin. "follow me."

The school has its own theatre, even if it is small. Karkat leads you there, and takes you backstage. There was a door on the back wall, barely visible being the same colour as the wall. "Not afraid of heights, are you?" He asks. "Nope." He lead you through the door, and up a metal staircase. "Here." says Karkat.

You're up above the stage, where all the lighting is. He leads you out to the metal platform directly above the stage, and sits down. You do the same. "So when did you find this place?" you ask. "I helped out with the lighting once for a school play. I wouldn't have, really, but when they offered it, I was hoping for a new hideout." he says. "So what was your old school like?" he asked. "It was pretty small for a middle school. Only about 100 students. But the good thing was almost everyone in the same grade knew each other. I knew a lot of the other 8th graders, so I was a little sad to leave all my friends. But I'm alredy making new friends here." You say that last part with a smile at Karkat. And he returns it.
