"Whoa, is that them?" Vriska asked quietly, leaning over to Karkat. Karkat glared at the two of them, but nodded in confirmation.

"Hm, I smell Marshmallows and Licorice," Terezi grins. She avidly smells the air, practically sitting on top of the desk to get a better 'look' at them.

Karkat snorts and looks at them closely, Socuih and Xyon have the exact same blank expression on their face, but Karkat notices Xyon's eyes flick over to him before returning to his sentry-like gaze. Nepeta giggles, causing the rest of their group to glance at her.

"What are you laughing about?" Aradia asked quizzically, tilting her head adorably to the side. Sollux hides a small grin as he observed his mutual-flush crush.

"Well, I think I purrhaps have another ship to add to my wall," She giggles again, looking pointedly at Karkat then at Xyon. Their eyes widen in realization, then a laugh bursts out of Feferi as she looks at Karkat's surprised face. Aradia joins in next, then Sollux. Soon enough the whole group is laughing, besides Karkat. They're earning some strange looks from the other trolls in the classroom, but the mentor isn't there yet so it doesn't matter. When they won't stop laughing, Karkat loses it.

"Shut the hell up! There's no way in Hell you're adding that to your crazy wall Nepeta! I'll fucking burn your hive to the ground if you attempt to!" He yells. That only makes them laugh even more.

"DUDE! You're in DENIAL!" Sollux crows, covering his eyes with his arm as he leans back in his seat. Laughs wrack his body and donn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

"Karkat~ Guess who's got BLACKMAIL MATERIAL!" Vriska says with a shit-eating grin.

"I can smell your embarrassment," Terezi cackles, tapping her nose as if in confirmation.

.

"Now come on gulls! We shore'dnt torment him so much, no matter how amusing it may be," Feferi manages to giggle.

"And yet you seen to be glubbing enjoying it," Eridan mentions with a small smirk.

Kanaya covers her smile behind her hand, glancing to the front of the room, only to see the two trolls staring skeptically at the twelve of them. Karkat notices as well and flips them off, causing Socuih's gaze to harden in indignation. In contrast, a small smile graces Xyon's lips as he witnesses the brunt of Karkat's anger. Their laughter slowly silences as their mentor walks in, a male troll who seems quite irritated at the moment.

"Alright guys, I'm sure you've heard the beginning of the year lecture so just go on with whatever you were doing, I have nothing planned for you guys today." He grumbles, going behind his desk and sitting down, opening his computer and completely ignoring them.

Socuih stares appalled at the mentor when he doesn't even acknowledge them, but Xyon just snickers and walks over to an empty desk that was (goddammit) nearby Karkat's. Socuih lets out a small cry at the action, but follows beind him closely, settling in the desk on the far side.

Nepeta turns to look at Karkat, eyebrows waggling and giggling profusely. Equius turns to her and mumbles something, but she just laughs and shakes her head in response. Karkat grumbles some foul words in her direction, causing Terezi to lean on his shoulder and cackle (quite loudly) "Now that wasn't nice Karkles." Karkat shoves her off of his shoulders.

"Not like you haven't seen succumbed to her horrible ships before!" He retorts, turning around to meet her red-eyed 'gaze'. Terezi just smiles, and turns to whisper into Vriska's ear. Vriska cackles and looks at Karkat, but doesn't say anything.

The desks are split into twelve sections with two rows pushed together, and there are six chairs to a row. Equius and Nepeta are sitting in the front row, then it's Kanaya and Tavros, Karkat and Gamzee are sitting behind them, Vriska and Terezi are behind them, and Sollux and Aradia are in the final two seats. They're in the most convenient places to chat with each other

"Oh KK~" Sollux sings mockingly, catching a glare from the Cancer. He glances over at Xyon with a sly grin, and Karkat sticks his tongue out mockingly but turns to see Xyon looking at him.

" 'Sup dude," Xyon greets, an amused smirk on his face.

"Yeah..." Karkat mutters back, ignoring the gazes of his friends. Xyon looks past him, staring at Gamzee who's staring blank eyed at the ceiling, grinning for some unknown reason.

"You have weird friends," He chuckles, even as eleven pairs of eyes train themselves onto him.

"You're weird yourself," Terezi shoots back, "Licorice boy!"

Xyon looks confused, glancing over at Karkat for an explanation, "Licorice boy?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Karkat sighed in annoyance. "This is Terezi, she's blind, she can smell colors or some shit," he gives Xyon a once over, "She associates you with the smell of licorice I guess, you do have a lot of black on."

"And your sister is marshmallows," the female troll cackles, licking her lips. Socuih leans over her chair and glares at Terezi.

"My name's Socuih, not marshmallows," She growls, her light voice turning dark. Xyon flinches and his hand twitches towards his head.

"Chill out bitchtits, this motherfucker gives us all names," Gamzee says with a lazy smile,breaking his staring contest with the ceiling to look over at her.

Socuih's gaze darkens even more, and a slice of fear runs through Karkat, something in her gaze is...deadly.

"You shouldn't even be here, why don't you join you're filthy ranks!" She hissed, black eyes fierce. Gamzee looks confused at the statement.

"What do you all up and mean bitchtits? Ranks?" he asks, focusing on the troll girl.

She mutters something unintelligible underneath her breath, leaning back in her chair and directing her gaze away from them.

"Socuih..." Xyon says darkly, anger flashing in his eyes, "You shouldn't say those sort of things," He's really pissed off, and when Socuih flinches in response, Karkat once again sees the silent conversation occur.

Sollux leans forward to talk to Karkat.

"KK what'th happening, I'm th'o lo'th't," He says in a stage whisper. Aradia giggles at her matespirit's absentmindedness. But Karkat doesn't find it to be so amusing, he's too focused on what's going on between the two new trolls, he growls something then turns back around, completely ignoring the psionic user. Sollux gets a little annoyed at this and a spark of blue and red flew from his eyes, heading for Karkats desk. He casually uses his psionics to slam a writing utensil against Karkat's forehead.

"Fuckass!" Karkat yells and throws it back at him. Sollux catches it with his hand, using psionics would be noticeable now with all the stares.

"You didn't an'th'er my que'th'tion KK," He says with a laugh, earning a death glare from the short troll.
.

"Fuck off," he mutters and turns around. Thankfully the bell rings and they all begin to rush out of class, but before Karkat can get away Xyon grasps his sleeve.

"Hey can you tell me where Strife! is, I didn't get a chance to tour the school, damn sis..." He trails off at the end as Karkat stares at him in shock.

"No...nonononono Let me see that!" Karkat snatches the paper away from him and promptly lets out a long string of curses.

"You're in all my classes!"
