And of course Gamzee would be the one to find me, fuck my existence, Karkat curses, keeping his back to the juggalo.
"What the fuck do you want," He growls, closing his eyes tight and hoping that the psycho clown would just leave him alone.
"Well, when you all up and absconded, I got worried about a motherfucker," The tall troll drawls, placing a large hand on Karkat's shoulder. The shorter troll tenses and shakes away his grip, growling lowly.
"Fuck off, I'm fine, go away, and don't fucking tell anyone where I was here alright," He mutters, listening for the indication that the troll was leaving. He hears him shuffle his feet a bit before backing off.
"Karbro...alright ," Gamzee replies sadly. The Capricorn then leaves, much to the shock of Karkat, not that he's complaining. The Cancer sighs and turns around again, staring down at his bloody palm. His quick healing had kicked in finally and reset the bone, as well as stopped the bleeding. But he doesn't feel like dealing with the ignorant assholes who would hound him. Looking around, he found some dirty black rags, and cleaned himself up. The silence is quite comforting, and it helps soothe his pounding head.
Another sigh escapes him and he moves to lean back against the wall. Ignoring the fact that he's skipping class, his eyes slowly drifted close, and his thoughts faded until he was peacefully asleep.
-(Different part of school)-
"You found him, th'o why didn't you bring him back?!" Sollux asks incredulously, staring wide eyed at Gamzee. The tall troll rubs the back of his neck uncomfortably.
"Well he didn't want me to motherfuckin' bother him so I didn't," he replies with a sheepish grin. Tavros shakes his head slightly at him before turning to the front of the class. Lunch had ended, so the others had returned to the classroom, where they had begun talking about the issue of Karkat. They had similarly taken seats where they had last time, although the configuration was a bit different without Karkat there.
"Was he alright?" Kanaya asks in concern, glaring at the juggalo.
"I don't motherfuckin' know, he had his back to me the whole time so I didn't get a good look at him," Gamzee replies with a slight frown.
"Will you PLEASE stop talking!" Their teacher snaps from the front of the class, her blue eyes blazing as she glared at them.
"Alright bitchtits," Gamzee replies, leaning back in his chair. The others silently turned to the front as well, pausing their conversation until later. They sat until they released for their next class, before they resumed the conversation.
"Do you think wwe should go get him?" Eridan ponders, grabbing his belongings out of his locker and turning to the others.
"Whale, if he doesn't want to be found, then we shoald let him stay wave he is," Feferi responds, waiting on the others to finish grabbing their supplies.
"Yes that is true, I'm sure he'll rejoin us for classes soon," Aradia says with a smile.
-(Back to Karkat)-
At first he's disoriented, as Karkat sits up from the ground, he realizes he had fallen asleep in the supply closet and had essentially skipped class. Sitting up and rubbing at his face, he remembers why he was hiding in here in the first place. Grabbing a random mirror-like object, he sighs in relief when his nose is properly in place and there was no blood staining it.
Standing and stretching, the Cancer wonders how long he's been sleeping. School isn't out yet, because they automatically shut off the power after they close the building, and the light is still on. With a wary movement, he opens the door and peeks out. There wasn't anyone in the stairwell, so he quickly hurries up to the floor with his locker. The hallways are empty as well, and he carefully makes his way to where a clock is.
He pales slightly when he sees that he had slept through the last three classes at least, and now he should be in his seventh class...but he isn't, he's standing by his locker.
"Shit..." he mumbles, remembering that the last class is only a few doors down. He begins to twist his combination into the lock, but is distracted by clacking footsteps coming from the open stairwell down the hall. With a curse, he instead moves into the doorway of the classroom he was supposed to be in at that moment, crouching down in a hopes that she won't notice him.
The principal would've walked right past him if a loud round of shouting hadn't erupted from the classroom. As She turned, her foot kicks him in the side, and she looked down in disgust at him.
"And what the hell are you not doing in class lowblood scum?!" She hisses, dragging him up by his wrist. Karkat glares at her but doesn't answer, even as she moves away from the doorway to slam him into the lockers.
"You better have a good reason," She growls, keeping him against the lockers with one hand while the other she uses to equip her trident and point it threateningly against his neck. A flash of fear flicks through the mutant, but before he can reply, the final bell rings, literally saving him. At this, her royal bitchiness releases him and moves quickly down the hall, disappearing before the first troll could slam open a door.
Karkat staresin shock in front of him, and continued to lean against whoever's locker it was, until the person got there.
"Why greetings Karkat, nice to see you," Kanaya says with a tone of surprise. The nubby horned troll looks up to see the Virgo looking at him with a bit of concern.
"Oh wow, th'o the inthufferable athhole finally returnth," Sollux lisps at him, grinning a bit.
"Shut the fuck up asshat," Karkat snaps, returning to reality abruptly. He shakily gets to his feet and retreats to his own locker, grabbing his backpack and stuffing some of the papers inside of it, ignoring the curious glances from everyone else. Once he was done, he begins to walk out, hearing some of the others shouting after him. He just growls and walks faster. Weaving his way through other trolls who are also trying to escape the horror of school, he almost doesn't make contact with anyone, until he runs into a certain new troll.
Xyon turns around to apologize, but instead is greeted with a glare that cuts him short.
"I don't know what the fuck all of that today was about but you better stay quiet and stay the hell away from me," Karkat hisses, shoving past the troll, ignoring the fact that Xyon was trying to talk to him as he brushed past.
-I'm not going to tell!-
Karkat almost stops, but instead turns to see Xyon staring at him, Karkat prevents the shock showing on his face, instead forcing a scowl onto his features. Xyon flinches, as if he'd been threatened and turns away.
Socuih walks up behind Xyon, watching Karkat walk out.
"That was way too risky," She murmurs, and Xyon winces again.
"I'm just trying to find out if it's really him."
"Hn, I think we both know the answer, now come on, I got his handle earlier, school isn't the place to discuss this."
-Yeah you're right.-
