In the table in front of you sits a girl with short,light brown hair. She's wearing red glasses and staring straight ahead. She's wearing a short sleeved,teal shirt with dragons on it and black, loose jeans. In her hair is a bright red hair band. Her short hair flips up on the sides a little. Next to her is a short-ish boy with short,messy hair almost the same color as the girl he's sitting by. He's sitting with his chin resting on his hand with his elbow on the table. He doesn't look too happy. He actually looks bored and a little upset. You can't blame him though. He looks at the girl and sighs slightly. He's wearing a grey sweater and black skinny jeans. He whispers something to the girl that you can't quite catch. She just nods, and he turns around to face you. You pretend not to notice, and look down at the table, scratching at it with your finger nail. He turns back around, and whispers something back to the girl. She pinches him in the neck, and he quickly puts his hand where she had pinched him.
"Ow! Terezi!", he half whispers. Apparently that's her name. She looks toward his direction and smiles in a very creepy way. The table next to yours has a small girl with short blonde hair and a blue hat that looks like a cat. She is wearing a long green jacket that looks way too big on her and a blue shirt with a cat on it. You guess she likes cats ... alot apparently. She has on short blue jean shorts, and fingerless,blue gloves. She is busy drawing. At least you aren't the only one who doesn't pay attention in class. Next to her is a tall boy with long,straight,black hair. He looks very strong and is wearing a black muscle shirt and dark grey shorts that go to his knees, and long black socks and ... kleats? What the hell? He has on sunglasses and the lenses are cracked. He is also wearing fingerless gloves. What's with the matching gloves. Oh well. You don't even care. Still, though, it's weird. Sitting in the table in front of them is a boy with short,black hair and wearing 3D glasses, a black,short sleeved shirt with black skinny jeans, and yellow converse shoes. Next to him is a girl with long,wavy,dark brown hair, who is wearing a long sleeved,dark red shirt, a short,red skirt, knee height,white socks, and red converse. She's reading a book. Judging from the cover, it's about some sort of apocalypse. Weird but cool you guess. In the table in front of them is a girl with long,wavy,red hair, wearing a violet-red tank top on, a blue and green skirt, and gold sandals. She has on violet-red,round glasses and a head band with a seahorse on it and also has on gold,round loop earings. Sitting next to her is a boy with short,dark brown hair with a purple streak on the front. He's wearing a long sleeve,purple shirt, blue skinny jeans, a blue and light blue striped scarf, and thick,black glasses. And you thought the others had a weird fashion sense. He looks melancholy. He looks over at the girl and stares at her for a few seconds before whispering something to her. She nods while smiling and hands him a piece of paper from her desk. Maybe he's copying off of her. You look down at your blank paper that the teacher handed the class. The girl next to you has already finished it. You think about copying her, but you don't even know her. It would be weird to do something like that to someone you don't even know. You look over to the weirdo hipster guy and then to the table to the right of them. Sitting in that table is a tall boy with scruffy,black hair, wearing a short sleeve,black shirt, and loose,black pants, with indigo polka dots on it. He also has on white makeup that resembles a clown. Werido. Next to him is a short boy with a brown mohawk and wearing a short sleeved, orange-brownish shirt with brown jeans. For some reason, you can't stop looking at him. What is it about him that makes you feel like you've seen him before? Then it hits you. 2nd grade. When you picked on that little boy. It looked just like him! No. No. Don't get ahead of yourself. It can't be him. The boy was in a wheel chair. The boy sitting in the front of the class, next to the werido clown, is not sitting in a wheel chair. It can't be him. If it was, would he be mad at you? He was never aggressive. He was just weak. But that doesn't matter, because it can't be him. You think back to that day. The day you lost your left eye. It was horrible. You remember the girl that punched you. You don't remember her name. All you remember was that she had short,black hair and that after you pushed the boy down, she spun you around, and punched you in the face hard. You never felt that much pain up until you got stabbed in the eye. She seemed so angry. She must've been friends with the crippled boy. The bell rings, ruining your train of thought and you go to your next class. After a few more class periods, lunch came. You enter the cafeteria with hesitance. You have no idea where to sit. You've never even met anyone yet. You look around, and see people eating happily with their friends. Suddenly a hand taps your shoulder. You turn around and see the girl that sat by you in English class smiling at you.
"Hello. I'm Kanaya. I sat next to you in English class. Do you remember?", she has a slight British accent, and her voice sounds so proper.
"Yeah, I remember. I'm Vriska.", you say without looking at her directly.
"Well, there's an empty seat at the table I sit at. Would you like to sit with me?"
You look up at her, and notice that her eyes are wide and full of hope.
"Uh, sure. I guess. Where's it at?", you say lazily.
"Great! Follow me.", she says happily before turning around and leading you to a table in the corner of the cafeteria. At the round table, there are 8 seats. She sits down next to the boy with the bad attitude who is sitting next to Terezi (if that's her name. You sorta forgot.) To the left of her is the cat girl, who is sitting next to the strong guy, who is sitting to the right of the boy that you hope isn't the boy that you bullied in 2nd grade, who is sitting by the clown guy. You sit down in between him and Kanaya.
"Hello guys. This is Vriska. She's new here. Um, Vriska, this is Karkat.", she points at the boy next to her, "And next to him is Terezi, that's Nepeta, that's Equius, that's Tavros, and that's Gamzee.", she pointed to each person as she said their names. You wave a little and noticed that Terezi was staring directly at you. Karkat gave Terezi his soda, and she took it without taking her eyes off of you. What's her deal?
"Purrhaps we should tell something about ourselves so that Vriska can get to know us better.", Nepeta says. Her voice is high but soft.
"Great idea! I'll start!", Gamzee says happily,"I'm Gamzee motherfucking Makara, I love clowns and my best bro Tav! I also like horror movies." He pats Tavros on the back who looks up suddenly from his tray.
"Uh, I'm, uh, Tavros Nitram. I like fantasy, and uh, fiction movies. And um, fairies, and uh, I guess, that's it.", he seems shy. And weak. Crap.
"Your turn Equius.",Kanaya says incouragingly.
"This is unimportant, and I will not partake in it." is all he says.
"Come on Equius! Don't be purrsnickety!", Nepeta says.
"Ugh. I like to lift weights and I like horses. There, happy?", he says quickly.
"I am fury happy!", she turns back to you and continues, "Hi! I'm Nepeta Leijon! I love cats! And I also love to play roleplay games! Ooh! Ooh! And I love shipping! Hehe! Your turn Terezi."
"I'm Terezi Pyrope. First I guess I should start out by stating that I am blind. I can smell colors and certain objects though. I like to play online roleplay games and want to be a lawyer when I grow up.", that must be why she always seems to be staring into space. She turns her head to Karkat's direction.
"Go Karkles!", she pinches his neck.
"Ow! Terezi! I hate when you do that! And don't call me Karkles! It's stupid! And I don't want to! This is stupid!", he practically yells.
"You must forgive him. He's a bit grumpy...all the time.", Kanaya apologises. You stay quiet, and look at him.
"Come ON Karkles! Just say something!", Terezi tells him.
"No!", Karkat refuses.
"Ugh!",Terezi says before licking his face quick. "Do it!"
"Bluh! Stop!", he yells wiping his cheek.
"Fine! I'll do it for you!", Terezi clears her throat before continuing, "Bluh! I'm Karkat! I hate everyone! Bluh! Everything is stupid! Bluh Bluh!" Everyone laughs but Karkat. She licks his neck and grins. He just sits there looking angry. Kanaya clears her throat.
"I'm Kanaya. I like to sew and design clothing. I also enjoy using my chainsaw any time I can. Although I haven't been sewing much due to my recent breakup with my ex-girlfriend. She moved away. Her name was Rose, and she used to sit where you sat actually.", she giggled sadly and then continued, "I guess that's it. Why don't you tell us something about yourself Vriska?", she looks at you with kind eyes. You hesitate to speak, but figure it won't hurt.
"I'm Vriska Serket. I have an older sister named Aranea. I like roleplay games and spiders.", you say quietly, smirking.
"Why do you, um, have that eye patch on?", Tavros asks quietly but worriedly.
"I got into an accident when I was little.", is all you say.
"Oh? How did that happen?", Kanaya asks. Ugh. You hate when people ask you that question. It's so annoying how you have to repeat the same story every time someone gets a little curious.
"Well, I was in 2nd grade. Some girl punched me and I ran away. While I was running, I ran into a needle sticking out of a car hood."
Kanaya was silent. She was staring into space in a way that resembled Terezi. Her eyes were wide though.
"W-why did she punch you?", Tavros asked quickly.
"I was picking on some kid."
"Who was the kid?", he asked quicker.
"I forgot his name."
"Why were you picking on him?"
"I don't like to talk about it!", you yell. Everyone goes silent. You are so angry! You hate him asking all these questions! Who cares about it anyway! It's over now! Ugh! You slam your hands onto the table and get up to leave, when a hand grabs you by your wrist. You look down to see that it's Kanaya. Her gaze is directed forward still, but her eyes aren't widened anymore. After a few seconds, she lets go. You walk out of the cafeteria quickly. When you get out of the building, you start running. You don't know where you're going, but you don't care. You just run. You run until you find a small building to sit behind. You sit behind it for a while with your knees brought up to your face. Ugh. You're so stupid. You can't stand that kid! Why was he asking so many questions? There's no way he can be the boy from when you were little. You start crying. Suddenly, you hear footsteps. You look over your shoulder to find Terezi standing by the corner of the building looking somewhere else.
"The witness leaves the courtroom.", she says grinning.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?", you snap. She turns to your direction after hearing where you are coming from.
"It's just a joke.", her grin remains.
"Whatever.", you turn away, sniffling. You just know she is looking at you. You can feel her stares, even though she can't see, she is staring right at you. You can feel her eyes poke at you, not getting anywhere otherwise.
"What?!", you yell without thinking. After she doesn't say anything, you turn around quickly to find her looking at the sky.
"It's grey. Isn't it?", she asks chopping her sentences in half.
"What?"
"The sky. It's grey, right?"
"Uh, yeah, but how did you know that?", you are confused. You know she is blind. Atleast you think she is.
"I can smell colors. I told you I could smell colors and certain objects. The color of the sky is grey."
"Oh.", Oh? What was that? Say something else!
"Karkle-I mean Karkat ... knows I can smell colors and objects, but he feels like he has to help me with everything. I get a little flustered ya know? Too much stress and smothering. I know he does it because he cares though. I care for him too, but...", she was caught off by Karkat running over to her and grabbing her by the shoulders, spinning her around to face him. She gasped in surprise. You did too to be honest.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU! WHY DID YOU RUN OUT LIKE THAT?! YOU COULD'VE TRIPPED OR FALLEN OR DIED!"
"Calm down Karkat! I'm fine!", Terezi yelled in protest.
"YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE BEING CALLED KARKL- Y-you called me Karkat."
"Yeah. That's your name isn't it?!", she yells at him and runs off. You sit quietly, and you have also stopped crying. Karkat stays still for a few seconds, then runs after her.
"Terezi! Wait!", you hear him call after a while. You sit for a while longer. You slowly lay onto the ground, feeling the soft grass beneath your face and skin. You fall asleep by accident.
