Frisk's homeroom teacher rapped her ruler on the desk, quieting the rowdy students. The elderly Human woman glared at them all through her spectacles, her steely gaze lingering on the few teens who hadn't yet seemed to get the message.
"Ahem." she said sternly, and finally, silence fell upon the classroom.
"Thank you. Now, class, as some of you may know, a new student has enrolled to our school. She is a little late, but I'm sure she'll do just fine catching up. Would you please come in, dear?"
Frisk had to stifle a chuckle as Chara walked into the room. She was wearing her favourite shirt with the yellow stripe, and jeans with one knee torn out, exposing the black metal joint. She was wearing her heart-shaped locket around her neck and her head was bowed slightly, just enough so that her bangs covered her eyes.
At her appearance, there was a chorus of appreciative mutters and even a couple wolf whistles and catcalls from some of the more boisterous teens. Kid leaned over from his seat next to Frisk's and whispered to the boy;
"Yo, is that…"
Frisk nodded, letting the grin on his face widen. Given how busy Chara had been in the few days since getting her new body, Kid hadn't had a chance to see her like this, though Frisk had made sure to let him know about it. Fortunately, Toriel's insistence on her children's education had led to Chara being enrolled in the school as soon as she could.
Kid leaned back into his desk, his eyes wide as he looked at the girl. Frisk heard the boy mutter an awed "Yo…" under his breath. Oh, this was gonna be good…
"Hello everyone." Chara said demurely, her synthetic tones washing over the room. "My name is…"
She raised her head, her crimson eyes sweeping over the class.
"Chara Dreemurr."
The room went silent. Frisk looked around the room to see almost every single one of his peers pale-faced. Especially the ones who had just been catcalling her. Chara smiled knowingly, and Frisk was glad that Mrs. Stevenson was behind her so she didn't see the expression on his sister's face.
"Well, Chara." The teacher said. "There is an empty desk next to your brother. Why don't you go sit there?"
Chara inclined her head and made her way over to Frisk, but paused next to the boy sitting in front of him and whispered something in his ear. Frisk didn't catch what it was, but the other boy shrank back as Chara resumed her pace.
She sat down next to Frisk, slinging her small backpack under her desk.
So you come into class for the first time, and the first thing you do is scare the pants off of everyone. That was your master plan?
Chara shrugged.
I've seen all these people already, remember? She replied. They're not really worth my time. Anyway, these guys are all in our grade, which means that they remember the "Demon Child". Didn't really have much of a chance, even if I wanted one.
Well, your plan almost succeeded. You managed to scare the pants off everyone except the one you actually want to see pantsless.
I know where you sleep.
Oh, come on, you wouldn't hurt your loving, awesome brother, now would, you? By the way, He continued, not really wanting to hear Chara's answer to that question, What did you say to Steve?
He was one of the worst bullies back in elementary. I dealt with him while you were gone, but I've been noticing some sketchy behaviour from him recently. I just gave him a friendly reminder that I'm still watching.
You've been in class for all of four minutes and you've already threatened someone. Honestly, I'm surprised it took you that long.
"Mr. Frisk!" His teacher's voice washed over him and the boy looked up questioningly. "Would you care to repeat back to me everything I just explained to you?"
Frisk groaned inwardly. This was already shaping up to be a long day.
"Look, Chara, there's really no reason to be nervous."
"I am not nervous!"
The siblings were standing in the main hallway on the top floor of the school, near where most of the lockers were lined up. Not far from where they were, a group of Monsters, including Kid, were talking and laughing with each other.
"Why are you stalling then?" Frisk grinned. "Just go on over there and ask him out!"
"Frisk, I just got this body. He barely knows me!"
"He spent months hanging out with you while I was gone," The boy argued. "And you two have been talking quite a bit over the last month. I barely got to talk to him when we went over to his place! Trust me, it'll be fine."
"Not to question your oh-so-great romantic skills," Chara said sarcastically, "But you've never been good at making relationships stick. Your 'girlfriends' were more make-out partners than anything else."
"So you're saying you want more than a make-out partner out of Kid?" He shook his head mockingly. "Oh man, you've really fallen for him, haven't you?"
Frisk barely managed to avoid the fist that his sister tried to bury in his stomach.
"It's just. A. Crush." She all but growled at him, her eyes shining an even brighter red.
"Well, then, you've got nothing to lose! You go over there, and ask him out. If he says no, you'll get over it. But when he says yes, then you get to snuggle your crush without me hanging around."
Chara narrowed her eyes at him.
"Why do I get the feeling that this is just some elaborate trick you're trying to play on me?"
Frisk's eyes widened, a hurt expression crossing his face.
"What? No! No, I wouldn't do that to you, this is way too important. Besides, Alphys and I ship you two hardcore. Your brother's giving you as much support as you can handle and then some!"
"Somehow, that doesn't fill me with confidence." Chara muttered. "And please don't ever use the word "ship" to describe real people again."
"Only if you get that metal butt over there and talk to Kid!"
"Fine." Chara huffed. "If it's that important to you." And without further ado, she marched over to the group.
Frisk could barely stop himself from jumping up and down in excitement. Carefully, he walked towards the group, keeping himself out of his sister's line of sight. He stopped just within earshot, and pulled out his phone, pretending to text while he listened in on their conversation. There was no way he was gonna miss this.
"Hey, Kid." Chara said, drawing the attention of the group of Monsters. Most of them just gave the girl curious looks, but Kid smiled widely at her appearance.
"Hey, Chara! Good to see you!"
Frisk couldn't see Chara's face from where he was, but he really hoped she was blushing, and not pretending to play it cool. His sister responded;
"Yeah, you too."
"Yo, what's it like being in a robot body?" Kid cocked his head to the side curiously. "Does it feel different or…"
Chara hesitated, then slowly replied, "It's.. definitely different. But I'm getting used to it." Her synthetic tones caused the chuckle she gave to echo down the hallway. "Guess I'm technically a Monster now, huh?"
"Guess so! Haha!"
"Hey, Kid… can I ask you something?"
"Sure!"
There was a pause, and Frisk was getting jumpier by the second.
Come on, don't back out now…
Are you listening to this?!
Yeah, yeah, punch me later. You've got more important things going on right now!
"Chara? You okay?" Kid asked, concern on his face.
"I'm fine, sorry about that." Chara replied smoothly. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to go see a movie sometime."
Kid appeared to think about the question for a moment, then tilted his head to the side.
"Like… a date?" He questioned.
"Uhh… yes?" Chara was starting to sound a little nervous, something that Frisk probably found more gratifying than he really should have.
"Yo! Cool!" Kid enthused, and Frisk could all but see the stars in the boy's eyes. "That'd be awesome!"
"Really?" Chara asked, surprise evident in her voice.
"Yeah! Yo, there's even a really cool one out right now that I wanted to see, we could watch that one together!"
"Yeah, sure!"
"Awesome! Hey, I'll set up a time and day when I get home, and I'll call you right away, alright?"
"That sounds great."
A voice crackled to life over the PA system, momentarily startling everyone.
"Would all students involved in the drama club please report to the cafeteria." It boomed.
"Yo! That's me!" Kid bounced up and down excitedly. "I wonder what that's all about, haha. See you later Chara!"
"Uh, later."
Kid rushed off, and Chara gave a little nod to the group he had been with before turning and marching back to her brother, who of course had a giant goofy grin on his face.
"He said… yes." She muttered, still sounding slightly shocked.
"Of course he did! I told you so." He started singing. "Caaaan you feeel the looo-"
This time, he wasn't able to avoid the slap fast enough, and he almost fell over from the force of the impact.
"Ow…" He rubbed his chest ruefully while his sister glared at him. "So ungrateful."
Chara huffed in exasperation and folded her arms in front of her chest.
"You're ridiculous."
"And you have a boyfriend." Frisk grinned.
"No, I have a date." Chara corrected.
"You say potater, I say zamatermorts."
Chara rolled her eyes.
"You've been watching that stupid show again, haven't you? God, I'm glad I don't have to suffer through that with you anymore."
"Hey, that stuff's funny!" Frisk put his phone away and adjusted the strap on his backpack. "Anyways, lunch break's over soon, and I should get to math class a little early to score some brownie points with Mr. Zeff. Catch you later, sis."
"Brownie points are about the only ones you're gonna score in that class!" Chara called after him. She was probably right. But today, that was just a cover. He needed to go and tell his friends about Chara's new boyfriend.
Hopefully she wouldn't be able to trace it back to him… but that was a risk he was willing to take.
