So I forgot to do this last time hello! You may notice that the last chapter was in first person and this one is not well let me just say fuck first person I tried it and I failed at it I'm hoping third person will work better but idk I know this chapters short but it needed to be done(I think) trust me it's going somewhere! I promise! anyway thanks for reading and I own a grand total of not homestuck because Andrew hussie refused to sell it.
Later kankri introduced Cronus to a few of his other friends, including areana, who seemed to be quite a bookworm, meenah, she was a bit bossy but not too bad, kurlos and mewlin who were apparently dating, kurlos was mute and mewlin was deaf so they made the purrfect couple as mewlin would say, next was damara she was a foreign exchange student from Japan, her English was still fairly weak and what she did know tended to be mangled by her very prominent accent, lastly there was Horuss and rufio, Horuss was quite the horse fanatic and was apparently quite good with machines and robotics. Rufio seemed really easy going and friendly, He learned that porrim was incredibly into fashion and that she had made everyone at least one sweater per holiday and that it wouldn't be long until he had his own Maryam signature .All in all they seemed like a good bunch if a little odd, apparently there was an 11th member of there rag tag group named mituna, but kankri had explained that he was with latula when she disappeared, the kid had gotten hit on the head and fell into a coma the doctors say that its likely he will wake up soon.
The rest of the day went smoothly when school was over Cronus had gotten a call from his father saying that he would be unable to pick him and eridan up from school( Cronus had yet to get his own car as they had moved shortly after he had gotten his license and was therefore unable to get his own car) so he had to hitch a ride with kankri. The kid allowed him to ride saying that his brother went to the same school as eridan so it wouldn't be to far out of his way.
"Wow chief I didn't know you had a younger brother." Cronus had said on the way to alternia middle school trying to start a conversation.
"oh, really, I must have for gotten to mention it although you yourself had failed to mention that you had a sibling as well." Kankri had replied quickly "I suppose the topic never came up. Everyone in our group has a brother or sister at alternia middle actually." He continued before Cronus could respond to his previous statement
"Really mind telling me about you brother some? Cronus asked wanting to fill the silence.
"Not sure that theres much to tell karkats simply loud and has an unpleasant habit of cursing
I've tried to convince him to stop but he doesn't seem to interested. What about eridan what's he like?"
"Well to be honest the kids a bit of a nerd, he's 14 years old and I'm almost certain he still believes in magic, but he's not to bad, got a bit of a mouth on him but by the sounds of it karkats got it quite a bit worse." Cronus finished seeing that they where almost at the schools.a few minutes later both karkat and eridan were seated in the back with karkat yelling at kankri for letting someone who was practically a stranger into his car. The ride from the middle school to the ampora home wasn't long but it ended with Cronus being invited to kankri's house and both him and eridan learning quite a few new curses.
