Chapter 2

Your name is Kankri Vantas and gog is this class boring. Sorry, gog is like an inside joke at your house. Your mom can be weird sometimes. She calls exclamation points "shout poles". And she licks things. All the time. Your parents might be divorced, but they are still pretty close. Your mom licks your dad's face, how close do you have to be to allow that? You are pretty sure your dad still loves your mom, but he's a busy troll and he wouldn't have been able to pay as much attention to her as he would have liked.

Oh, back to the topic of class. You pass a note to Mituna because you have the same class with him. All the lowbloods have classes together and all of the highbloods have classes with each other. You sigh when you watch Mr. Nitram move around the front of the classroom, stammering and stuttering as much as he usually does. He's a great teacher! Don't get you wrong! But he just kind of... has anxiety. You can understand since he is one of the lowest bloods in the room, next to his son and Damara. When they start speaking in whatever Damara speaks, he points a lance at them... How weird is that? A lot of the adults are weird. You take the note back from Mituna who passed it back up as an origami bird flapping its wings with his psiionics. You catch it in the air quickly before sees it. You open it up and see what he wrote and write back.

Rufioh glared at him, then gave Mituna the finger, before continuing to take notes.

Mituna just gave him the finger first and blasted his music in his head phones.

: mITUNA,,, i, i REALLY DON'T THINK YOUR,,, YOUR,,, YOUR HEADPHONES ARE A BIT TOO, LOUD?

Mituna just flipped him the bird as well, before turning his grub-pod up a few more notches.

You just nod to to give him assurance that you would write down notes for Mituna and show them to him later and understood, not saying anything else on the subject and continuing on about the conciliatory orbs in a trolls reproductive system.
