(This is a bit of a shorter chapter, and sorry for the long delay. Things will get rolling soon!)
For some reason, the days always passed by way too slow.
He was sore, yet again, and one could only assume why. Even so, nobody questioned him or made remarks. After all, it was already obvious he had quite the close 'friend' from across town.
Of course, Karkat had to put in his own two cents.
"So, you just abandon your post for some action? Really? God, I was disgraced with such disgusting and rotten luck just to have such a grubshitting goddamn lumpsquirt for a partner…" he grumbles in exasperation as he shuffles through differently sized measuring cups.
Gamzee can't help the laugh that passes by his lips at how temperamental his partner is being. "Ahh, I am sorry about that, Best Friend. I just had a lot of stuff all up and going on so…"
"Yeah? Like going out for a nice fuck, huh? Sure, that's really fucking important…" Karkat grumbled in a loud tone that caught the attention of many other students in the classroom. An awkward silence filled up the entire room like water, being speckled with odd stares from the other beings occupying the small space.
Gamzee swallowed thickly, his blood running cold as attention was drawn to him. He glanced between the few people looking at him before bowing his head and turning away to, instead, search for ingredients and try not to be noticed.

"You didn't have to say all that," the Capricorn whispered sadly, almost inaudible, near the end of the class period.
Karkat raised a brow, a frown still engraved on his face as he was trying to scrape some hardened cheese from a frying pan. "What the fuck are you talking about this time, you bitching worthless dickshit?" The words he spoke could be taken as hatred, but his tone revealed such to be merely annoyance.
Gamzee had none of it though, and he didn't even notice. Downcasting his gaze, he turned his back to Karkat as he murmured just loud enough for the other to hear, "The stuff you said, this morning- you didn't have to say it…"
The Cancer scoffed rather loudly, making Gamzee feel the slightest bit more distressed. "Yeah, I guess I didn't fucking have to, but I did. What does it matter?"
Karkat jumped as the counter beside him shook with force, an enraged Capricorn standing beside him with a face twisted in anger. "It does motherfucking matter, Karkat!" The harshness and anger so suddenly emanating from a rather calm figure had the Cancer being rather shocked. "You don't need to talk about any of that motherfucking shit, you hear? It's my own business!"
The other being, standing oddly silent and bewildered, held his hands up in defense before murmuring in a quiet tone of his own, "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. I'm sorry…"
Gamzee's glowering was, to say the least, intimidating, and Karkat surely didn't want to mess with him or say the wrong thing. Such harsh retaliation, and so suddenly, was frightening, especially from him. "That's what I thought, motherfucker…" were the last words that left the Capricorn's mouth before he left class, leaving Karkat behind, shocked, and slightly concerned.
