Let's Kill The Night
Chapter 2 - Drama in the Drama Class?
AN:Alrighty!~ Here we are with chapter two!~ I'm so happy. I now have the plot laid out in my head and am quickly getting it down. This chapter took only two hours to write but those were too good hours spent listening to Broadway Karkat. I'm sorry but i kinda in my own weird way hinted at a little Jade X Karkat. IDK I ship that a lot but I only want it to be one sided in this fic. You know Karkat has a crush on Jade and Sollux and that messes with his sexuality but we all know how that ends. xD
SORRY FOR THE RANTING. ONWARD TO THE FANFIC!~
(Karkat's POV)
I can't help but run into Jade Harley every time I see her. I have no idea why … I can't explain it. The best way to explain it is that she always shows up at the worst times. She always knows what I'm gonna say after we knock right into each other. This time was no different. This time was no fucking way different.
"Hey Karakat. Yeah I'm pretty excited about the weekend. How 'bout you?" Jaid said as she put out her hand to help me up.
"Oh umm… Thanks Jade." I took her hand and was now standing beside her "Yeah well … I kinda am going to a party with Sollux. Aradia is away for the weekend and Sollux wanted someone to go."
She gave me a sympathetic look. I don't know how to explain that either. I don't know how to explain a lot of things when it comes to Jade. Jade is just someone you have to meet in person. It's hard to describe her to people who don't know her. I usually just end up telling them that they won't understand until they meet her.
She's an amazing friend. She always has been and it looks like she always will be. The only person who I'm closer with would have to be Nepeta … And speaking of Nepeta ….
As Jade and me walked into our drama class we were instantly spotted by none other than Nepeta. She instantly jumped out of her seat and began pushing past a row of seated kids to get to the aisle. She was so adorably short. Shorter then Karkat that is. She also was very clumsy.
"4, 3, 2,"
"Karkitty!" came Nepeta's voice as she inched closer to us. Bam … There she was … In my face.
"KARKITTY!"
"Fuck you." I couldn't help it … sometimes she gets a little overboard with the pet names.
"Karkat can you at least try to watch your language. We are in school you know" Jade had tried to filter the things I said once again.
"Fuck you too. I will say whatever I wanna say."
"Karkat can you please take a seat? And while you're at it listen to Jade's advice. She knows what she is talking about." Mrs. Serket just had to but in.
As much as I wanted to protest against being told such a thing I followed Jade and Nepeta to the closest seats. I will admit that as much trouble as Mrs. Serket gives me she is honestly my favorite teacher. I still can't get over the fact that Vriska and her are related. They are complete opposites. Mrs. Serket treats us all like human beings while to Vriska we are all beneath her … It's just weird.
"Now that you are all calm I believe it's time we begin. Today we will be doing a very iconic scene from a very well-known play. We will be doing the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. Now then I already have groups made up. There are four to a group and each one will perform for the other then to the class. Alright now I'm sorry but because we have more guys then girls in this class some of you will be paired together."
And with that said a squeal was emitted from besides me. Everyone heard that and just had to look back. Those bitches know exactly who that came from and why. It's common knowledge that Nepeta was a yaoi fan. Well … she was called a faghag but I would rather not get into that.
"Nepeta can you please keep your homosexual noises to yourself?" Came the voice that belonged to none other than Jack Noir.
Jack Noir is a stuck up giant dick face. Wait no … he is not worthy of having a dick on his body. A dick was a sacred thing that only real men could have. Jack Noir was as far as Karkat cared, not even a human. Jack was just a dark spec on the earth's surface that needed to be wiped away as if it didn't exist.
"Jack knock it off. Can you keep your big mouth shut at least just one period of the day?" Jade to the rescue once again, oh how she knew exactly what to say.
"No one asked for your opinion geek." Jack Noir's comebacks weren't even good.
"Yo … Fuckass. Shut your yap and leave the girls alone. If you don't knock it off you will have to deal with me."
"Oh I'm so scared! I'm gonna get punched by a cocksucking faggot." Oh that was it. THAT WAS IT.
"Alright Noir. YOU'RE DEAD. YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD FOR THAT." I couldn't help it. He deserves to be punched.
"Jack please relocate yourself to the principal's office. And don't try to slip out of this one so easily. I'll call an escort if I have to." Mrs. Serket to the rescue? Woah … Didn't see that coming.
Mrs. Serket then continued " I will not tolerate that kind of language in my class. I don't care if you were forced to take this class or took it on your own free will. You will not act like this in my classroom."
Jack mumbled something incoherent as he got up.
"What was that?"
"Nothing" he replied with hatred flying out in every direction.
"Alright I thought so." Then she continued to address the class.
Mrs. Serket had told us all who was in our groups and because of a now missing from class, Jack Noir, I was stuck with Tavros Nitram. Just my luck I was also Juliet… I never signed up for this. I'm not gonna stand up there on that stage and yell those words. No one can make me. No one.
"Alright first up is Tavros Nitram and Karkat Vantas. To the stage boys" Mrs. Serket seemed to be yelling with enthusiasm compared to how she was for most of the period.
I slowly got out of my seat and followed Tavros to the stage. I took to the top of the small platform on the stage. This should be good enough. Well here goes. I motioned to Tavros for him to begin reading his lines.
"O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air."
Oh gosh… He nailed those lines perfectly. Not one slip up. Never would have thought the ex-cripple would be the perfect Romeo. Pffft. Perfect Romeo my foot. Who the fuck needs a Romeo. I don't I sure as hell don't need no romeo.
I looked into Tavros's eyes and began to say my lines.
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but swo- I CAN'T FUCKING DO THIS." Oh oops guess I slipped up yet again.
"YES YOU CAN! I KNOW YOU LIKE IT" Oh god. Why Nepeta. Why did you have to yell that infront of the whole classroom. Oh god.
Oh my god. She did not. Oh god she did.
"Nepeta please keep it down and Karkat PLEASE continue with your lines." Mrs. Serket had no idea what just happened.
"Um… Ummm … Oh yeah….
Or, if thou wilt not, Wilt not … be … but … my … " I can't do it. I just can't …
"SWORN MY LOVE. KARKAT YOUR LINES ARE SWORN MY LOVE. REMEMBER YOU LOVE HIM"
FUCK THIS SHIT. THAT IS ENOUGH. I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE.
The whole room erupted into laughed. Even Tavros was laughing. Why me … It's as if someone was out to ruin what would have been the perfect day. Why couldn't Nepeta just keep her mouth shut. Oh god … I can't take it anymore.
"I need … a minute…" It came out seconds before I ran.
I was running yet again. I run from everything. I run when I don't know what to do. When I'm scared I run… When I'm sad I run …. I'll always be running away.
AN: Poor Karkitty. ;;;A;;; Just makes you wanna cry doesn't it. As much as he tries to not be gay he gets made fun of for it. Oh and Nepeta was no help. XD Little food for thought. I originally planned this chapter to go with the Broadway Karkat song "Matespritship" and would have Nepeta all over Karkat trying to help him get his man. Well ... I listened to to much "Hey There Harley" which influenced the beginning and changed my whole plans for this chapter BUT it worked better this way. :3
Well I'm done with ranting for the second time today . I hope you all enjoyed it. AND I DO LOVE REVIEWS!~ =^^= I do read those reviews and I do fix mistakes pointed out and do cherish each and every review I get.
