*Really loud ringtone* I jolted from my bed as soon as I heard my phone go off, and quickly answered it.
"H-Hello?!" I yelled into the phone.
"Hey there is no need to yell at me Karasu. It's only me your lovely sister~!" I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, from the fact that she made the on the "lovely" part stand out. "Gosh dangit, Amaya! Don't give that *higher pitch voice* 'It's only your sister!' *normal voice* Horse dodo! You gave me a freaken heart attack!" I yelled.
"Well sorry ~! It's not my fault that you decided to sleep in till 1 in the afternoon. Plus you didn't say lovely." I scoffed. "He don't nag to me about my sleeping schedule when you don't go to sleep till 8 in the morning!" "Hmm touché little sis." I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. "Did you need something?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah! I'm just calling to tell you that your school is not like the other one." "What do you mean by that?" I giggled. "Do I have to wear a uniform?" I began to laugh, but my sister said nothing. "Ahaha why aren't you talking and or laughing with me Amaya…? Wait…Do I really have to wear a uniform!?" I heard her clear out her throat. "Maybe, but it weird you can choose to wear it..." I raised an eyebrow. "So like 3 out of the 5 days? Orr?" I questioned and I heard her giggle. "Actually it's just like that." "Really?" "Yeah and you should be getting your uniform on Sunday." I sighed. "Is at least cool looking? Or you know even…cute…?" I heard my sister gasp. "Is my baby sister finally growing into a lady?! Oh what a glorious day!" I blushed.
"S-shut up! I'm not interested in your stupid fashion! I just don't want to look stupid in the uniform!" Amaya began to laugh. "Haha, whatever you say Karasu. Anyways how was your first day in the new town?" I scratched the back of my head. "Ahaha well it's a looong story." I heard Amaya scoff. "You act like I have nothing better to do." "True…I guess I can tell you."
-Time skip since you guys know what happened-
"So let me get this straight, YOU, Karasu Mashiba, meet two cute boys in one day…?" I rubbed the back of my neck. "Uhm yeah..?" I heard my sister mumble something.
"Um Amaya what did you say..?" "YOU CANT JUST SAY YOU MEET TWO CUTE BOYS AND NOT GIVE ME DETAILS ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE!" I pulled my phone away. "Hey there's no need to scream." And she keep screaming. "THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BE SCREAMING! KARASU GIVE ME THE DETAIL ON WHAT THEY LOOKE LIKE!" "Alright, alright just calm down, and I'll tell you all about their looks." I heard her take a deep breath.
"Alright… I am calm…" I put my phone by my ear again. "Are you sure?" another deep breath. "Yes I am positive that I am calm." "You super—""KARASU! JUAT TELL ME ALREADY!" "Alright you already know what Derek looks like, so there is no reason for me to describe him to you."
"Is he the one that you punched in the face even though, you say he is as tall as a building?" I blushed. "I didn't say he was that tall. He was just freakishly tall alright. " "Hmm I'm guessing at that description he is probably…. 6'2…?" I blinked.
"How can you guess that when you haven't even meet the guy…?" I heard my sister scoff. "I am hurt that you would ask such a question, little sister! With a talent like mine!" I sighed. "Do you want to know how the other guy looked like or not?" I heard a loud crash from the other line. "H-hello…?" No response.
"Amaya?! A-are you okay?!" I heard some shuffling. "Y-yeah I'm fine I just banged my pinky toe against the table… But go on and describe the other boy already! I'm dying with all of this anticipation!" I sighed softly. "Alright he had dirty blonde hair, maybe around the same height as Derek? Um his eyes where different color. One was red and the other was blue." I blushed lightly. "And that's it? No he has a cute mole somewhere on his face? Or a vague description of his *cough cough* body? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge." My blushed deepened. "AMAYA YOU KNOW HOW I GET WHEN I SEE A CUTE/HOT GUYS BODY!" I covered my face with a pillow, while I could hear my lovely sister laughing. "Haha sorry, sorry I just love teasing you Karasu. But I bet your covering you're face right about now." My face turned into the color of a tomato when she said that. "Well I have to go and find some roommates so bye Amaya it was nice talking to you. I'll call you whenever." "W-wait Karasu-." I hung up on her before she could finish her sentence and sighed.
"That was a close one." I got up from my bed and headed towards the bathroom and did my business. "Alright, what to do today….hmm maybe I should make signs for some roommates?" I stopped out of the bathroom and walked into the living room. "Alright it's decided! I'm making the signs!" I got some paper and color's and began to work on the signs.
-Mean while in another place -
(Dave's POV)
"So Dave, you want to tell me about this mysterious girl?" I looked over at Eggbert. "Why would you want to know about her?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Wellllllll considering I'm buying you lunch and all, I was kinda hoping that you can tell me more about her?"
I smirked. "That's not even a reason for me to tell you about that crazy chick." I continued to walk towards Spades Sub. "Awww come on Dave! Please at least what she looks like?" I stopped walking when I felt weight on my legs, and sighed. "Fine if it will get me my sub." "Really!" I nodded and Eggbert got up immediately and ran the rest of the way to Spades Sub, while I just walked.
-Time skip-
I arrived at Spades Sub to be faced with an angry Eggderp. "What the hell Dave!" I raised an eyebrow. "What?" John stomped his feet's. "Don't *deep goofy voice* "what" *normal voice* me! I've been waiting here for like twenty minutes!" He yelled as he leaned into my face. "Dude, I never fucking said that I was going to tell you right away." I pushed him away from my face.
"Well I don't care just tell me about the mysterious girl! I just want to know about her already." I walked into the Sub shop leaving John behind. "H-hey don't just ignore me...! Dave? Ughhh! Don't just leave me, I'm paying for your dang food!"
"Well then hurry the fuck up, Eggderp." I yelled and soon Eggbert was right behind me. "Hi Karkat I can I get a get a turkey on rye, with a little bit of mayo?" John asked. "Well fuck me it's Eggderp and the Insufferable prick… Hey where that girl?" "I don't fucking know. Maybe she is out punching some sorry ass whole." 'Ha nice one Dave.' I smirked. "Wait you've seen what the mysterious girl looks like!?" Eggderp slammed his hands against the glass window. "Hey fuck ass! Don't slam you're hands against the fucking glass! And yeah I saw her, so what?" Karkat barked at John. "The reason I want to know is because, she punched Dave! No one punches a Strider! That and Dave won't tell me…" I sighed.
"Look Eggderp I just don't want to waste your time. She'll probably punch you in the face too." I chuckled thinking about John getting punched. "Well who the fuck are you making his damn decisions?" Karkat added in. "If he want to meet the girl then let him, and if she punches him then he learned his damned lesson." I looked over at Karkat to see that his arms where crossed.
"Look Karkat—." "Oh shut the Strider, you probably don't want Eggbert to meet the damn girl. You probably have a thing for her." Karkat smirked. "I don't have a thing for chicks who punch on the first date. That shit screams crazy." John and Karkat both smirked. "Yeah suurrree." John said as he turned his head to face Karkat. "Can you at least tell me what she looks like Karkat? Pllllease, if you do then I will get you free tickets the next time a romcom is showing." "John I don't think he will—." "DEAL!" Karkat basically screamed. "She's short has blue eyes and raven hair! And I think her name was Karasu….Something. Now don't forget about this deal Eggbert!" John busted out in laughter. "Ahaha y-you were saying something Dave?" I scoffed. "Look can we just get our damn sub's I'm hungry as balls over here." "Y-yeah Karkat lets just get our subs so we can just get out of your hair." John added in. "Fine a turkey on rye and a meatball sub right?" Karkat questioned. "Heck yeah!" John said while walking up to the counter. "Hey Kankri. How are you doing?" Kankri looked up from his book. "Why hello John, Dave. I am doing fine thank you for asking." He nodded at the both of us. "I presume the usual correct?" "Yup." I answered. He put in our order in the cashier. "So where is Karasu?" I shrugged. "Don't know." Kankri looked at my face as if he was trying to figure some shit out. He opened his mouth to say something but Karkat can with our subs. "….Alright the total will be $15.89" "Alright." Eggbert paid for the food, I grabbed our subs and soda's, while walking to a table near a window. "So Dave why spend your time on this girl?" As I was unwrapping my sub I looked over at him. "You promise not to tell anyone?" John nodded his head while unwrapping his sub and taking a bite. "I promise, cross my heart and hope to die." John crossed his heart with one of his fingers. I nodded "Alright I'm pulling a prank on the new girl." John chocked the instance I said that. "*cough, cough* W-what?" I chuckled. "I said I was pulling a prank on the new girl, I didn't tell her my name." John took a drink of his soda. "*clears out throat* Alright what did you tell her your name was?" "Derek Strider." I smirked. "…..Sooo you just changed your first name….?" John busted out laughing. "Ahaha Dave that is the saddest prank I ever heard! You didn't even change your last name!" I blinked. "What do you mean Eggderp? It's an awesome prank." I blinked again. "Ahaha okay, whatever floats your boat." John said while wiping away tears from his eyes. "But dude what possessed you to pull a prank? I though prank where "to cool"." I shrugged. "To be truthful I wasn't, not until she punched me in the face." John smirked. "Wow you sure are salty huh?" "Fuck no John. If anyone is to be salty it should be that chick!" I pointed out the window. "Why are you pointing out the-. Hey is that the girl that punched you in the face?" John pointed out the window. I turned to see a certain short girl stapling a piece of paper to a post. "Yeah that's her—. " I stopped talking once I felt a gush of window past me. I sighed while face palming. 'I just had to say yes didn't I?" I got up from the table taking mine and Eggderp's sub, and walked out of Spades Sub.
- Back to Karasu's POV –
'Hmm….should I put up the paper higher….? People are tall around here.' I though while looking for a spot to place my 'Roommates wanted' paper. "Na they can just bend down to look at this." I stapled the paper and was about to walk away when I felt a tap on my shoulder, so I turned around to be faced with a pair of blue eyes. "Uhm… Hello?" I waved at the guy while taking a step back. "HI!" He said while standing up to his full height. 'Great another giant!' I stopped myself from rolling my eyes. "Uhm how can I help you?" The boy took a deep breath. "Do you know my friend named Derek Strider?" He suddenly threw that question my way. "Y-you mean the guy I punched in the face?" The boy nodded. "Yup, that's him alright!" Then it hit me. 'W-wait what if he's here to take revenge?! That Karkat dude did say he had ladies! B-but wait the person if front of me is clearly a guy?! Maybe Derek swings that way?' I gulped. "Uhm are you here on his behalf to get revenge or something….?" I slowly began to walk backwards. "Huh? Oh no! I just wanted to give you a high five! You see he's my best friend, and he's also kind of a douche-."
"Wow it's nice to know that you say such nice things behind my back Eggderp." I slightly moved my body to the right so I could look behind uhm the Eggbert boy. The Eggbert boy turned around the moment he heard Derek's voice. "Oh! Hey Derek! Heh I didn't know you would fallow me." Derek tossed a sub at the Eggbert boy. "Whoa my sub…! I guess I got excited again huh." The Eggderp boy scratched his head. Derek nodded. "Yup."
'I'm guessing that they forgot I was here….Should I interrupt them? Or no…?' I cleared my throat. "Well I would hate to interrupt your little meet up?" I pointed at them both. "But I have a question for you guys. Oh! And it's nice to see you again Derek" I smiled and held out my Roommates wanted paper, they both looked down at the paper. "Oh you're looking for some roommate's?" John asked so I nodded. "I was wondering if you guys would pass these to some of your friends. It would be a big help Derek and…uhm…?" The Eggbert boy looked at me strange. "Eggderp you didn't tell her you're name." Dave stated while taking a bite of his sub.
"Oh! Heh sorry the name's John." John smiled and held out his hand towards me. I put the paper back into the pile and shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you, John. My name is Karasu Mashiba." I smiled and shook his hand. "But John I have a question."
"Ask away' John gave me a cheeky smile.
"Is Eggderp your last name?" I bite the inside of my cheek so I wouldn't laugh. So what do you guys say about helping me out?" I looked at both John and Derek. 'Heck yeah! I wouldn't mind helping you, right Derek?" John snatched the papers from my arms, not waiting for Derek to answer. I heard Derek sigh. "Sure." I smiled and hugged the both of them. "Thank you sooooo much you guys! I promise you won't regret this!" I stepped back and smiled again. I looked at both of them to find that they were blushing…. Well John was I wasn't so sure about Dave because he covered his face with his sub. "Uhm? You guys okay?" John instantly ran up to me while lifting me up and twirling me in the air.
"Oh my gosh! Karasu! You are so freaking cute! Almost like Matthew Mcconaughey cute, but not really! You're more like the stuffed bunny from that one Nicolas Cage movie!" 'O-ouch, w-why is he comparing me to Matthew Mcconaughey and a bunny?' I tried to pull away from John but to no avail. "J-John please put me down! I think I might throw up!" John immediately put me down. "Heh sorry Karasu." I took a step back from John. "Its fine" I smiled up at him. "Just wasn't expecting it." John began to scratch his head. "Well I guess I'll be going now." I waved at John and Derek. "Bye John, it was nice meeting you, see you Derek." I turned around and began to walk away.
"Hey wait!" I turned my head towards the two guys. "Yeah?" Derek began to walk towards me. "What school you going to?" I raised an eyebrow. "Why do you want to know?" John jumped in front of Derek saying. "So we can become friends, duh!" He gave me a cheeky smile. I smirked. "Alternia High." "That's the school we go to!" John yelled happily while, Derek just said it with a normal voice. "Well I guess I'll see you at school then! Oh! And don't forget to hand out the papers to your friends!" I smiled and walked back to my apartment.
-Time skip Karasu's apartment, time is 9:30 in the afternoon-
'Hmmm I wonder if Derek and John asked any of their friends if they need a place to stay.' I Stepped out the shower and walked to my bedroom to get dressed. "I hope so, it's pretty quiet…" I sighed and finished putting on my pajama shirt, then plopped onto my bed. "Just two more days until I have to go back to school…." I sighed again. 'Maybe I'll meet someone who's like him…?' I closed my eyes and grabbed one of my many pillows and hugged it. 'Yeah right…' I slowly fall asleep and dream about him.
