(A/N: Hey, an update! I'm just kinda setting things up for the plot, because, believe me, there is one! Everyone has been really nice with the reviews also, and I have yet to get one that is even somewhat mean or rude! So, thank you everyone who reads this! I have been wondering about something though, it's getting a bit tedious checking my email for any reviews in case of errors, so I was wondering if anyone would like me to say my tumblr url? I'm not sure if that would be good or bad? Anyways, chapter update! I think I'll be able to get one or two more this week if all goes well! Please tell me if there are any mistakes, hope you enjoy and see you soon!)
Your name is John Egbert and Careers is about to start.
Dave is just staring off in space though. He's the one who knows where you're going. Should you get his attention or not? Where is Careers anyways? Maybe you could just drag Dave there? Is Rose here yet? She could help you. Obviously she knows where Careers is. And she could probably help you drag Dave along. Not that you aren't strong, you just don't have much upper body strength. Or lower body strength. Maybe you aren't strong.
Dave nudges you and him doing so startles you. "Yo, Egderp. Wakey, wakey, eggs in bakey. Can't start daydreaming about me just yet, we need to go to Careers." You frown at him. Not fair! He was the one zoning out, not you! Dave smirks at you before he starts walking out of the cafeteria. You scowl at his back before grabbing your bag, resetting your expression to neutral and following him.
Careers turns out to be fairly close to the cafeteria, only a walk down the hall and a turn to the left. You keep that in mind in case Dave ever zones out again. That would be a funny prank. Him being totally out of it, standing in one place and then snapping back to attention somewhere else while everyone acts like nothing happened. Oh yeah, totally doing that at some point. You grin. That is going to happen. Let's just hope Dave zones out fairly often. Dave tugs on your elbow, grabbing your attention and points over towards a table with only Rose seated at it before he walks over to her. You repeat the movement and sit between Dave and Rose.
"Rose, where were you at lunch? Totally ditched us. I had to eat in silence like I was in a time out or some shit because Egbert and Jade were talking in hands again." Dave asks her. "I went out to lunch with Kanaya. Didn't John and Jade tell you? Or were you too ignorant to ask?" Rose replies easily. You slide out your blue notebook on the off chance that you will have something to say, figuratively. Dave smirks at her, "Out to 'lunch'? Did you two just go out on a date or did the two of you not even make it that far? Got halfway to the car before you started making out with her?". "No, Dave, I think you are confused. Isn't that how your lunch went with John? Or have the two of you not come to terms with that yet?" Rose smiles back smugly.
What?! What is that supposed to mean? Rose is crazy. Confusion pours on your face as Dave adopts a look that you can only describe as pissed off. Rose really just looks smug. Did you miss something? No, you don't think so? But why did Rose say that then. Perhaps you heard her wrong? Yeah, that is probably it.
Neither Dave's nor Rose's expressions last long though. They are quickly wiped away when a blaring of a muffled, unidentifiable, heavy metal song pours through the walls. Both of Rose's delicate eyebrows shoot up and her eyes pop open, wide. Dave's eyebrows also shoot up as he nearly falls off of his chair. You just calmly sit there and grin at their goofy expressions. The music continues for roughly another twenty seconds, the whole room startled except for you. Finally, the music snaps off and someone yells out, "Sorry!" from behind the wall. A girl who, before, had a friendly and happy expression, gasps loudly while the large, long haired, muscled boy beside her, attempts to calm her. Briefly, you wonder if the two are romantically attached. A few other students around the room are holding their chests, above their hearts, while others are wide eyed and confused. You are perfectly fine though.
Dave is the first of the two at your table to regain his composure and looks at you oddly before saying, "Woah, Egderp, you kept your cool. Sweet, man.". Rose agrees with him by saying, " Even mister 'no expressions whatsoever' over here was startled, or more so, scared. Did that not startle you in the slightest?". Startle you? No, obviously not. Pfft. You're fine. You decide to explain such via your notebook.
No, I'm fine. I'm rather used to random loud noises. I grew up to hearing the mixer starting at any and all hours of the day and night. I'm immune to most loud noises, I guess...
You slide the notebook in front of you, allowing both blondes to read it. When you were younger, Jane would start cooking whenever. This meant that you had to endure listening to the mixer start up and begin whirring at random hours of the day. Sometimes, when Jane gets upset, she bakes. The time doesn't really matter to her. Two a.m. or two p.m., it becomes the same to her. You don't mind though, baking calms her and relaxes her. When she isn't able to bake when she is upset, she starts pranking. A full blown pranking war has erupted quite a few times in your house...All in all, you prefer to hear a mixer at frequently and unexpectedly rather than having cake shoved in your face or ice poured on you.
"Oh, I suppose that makes sense." Rose whispers as the teacher calls for the classes attention. The class begins slowly, with the three of you passing mundane notes in your book. Finally, Dave brings up the brilliance of today being Friday. The conversation begins to lead from Friday to Saturday. From there, it pulls to "What to do on Saturday". Rose smiles wide and takes the notebook, writing in it before delicately placing it in between you and Dave.
Perhaps we could have a movie day at my house? With the three of us and Jade? We could possibly play some video games as well. It could even be a sleepover if we watch too many movies.
A movie day? That sounds awesome! You can watch Con Air with your friends! And a whole bunch of other Nic Cage movies! You write a happy agreeing response as Dave nods his head in agreement to Rose. He takes the notebook after you finish writing in it. Sure Rose. Technically, I have to sleep over anyways. Kinda living with you right now. You glance at his note and smile at it. Dave can make you laugh and smile really easily. Rose reads it as well and smiles before turning her attention back to the teacher. It feels like you've known Rose, Dave and Jade your whole life, not just a day and a half.
The class only lasts ten more minutes and the three of you give them your full attention, only to make up for the large portion of the class that you ignored. Rose bids the two of you farewell before running off to her next class. You tap Dave on the shoulder, gain his attention and write in your notebook, asking him where the music room. "You take music? It's rad. The teacher is pretty chill as well. Anyways, the music room is close, not all the way across the damn school like half of these freakin classes are. Its down the hallway, towards the back doors of the school and to the right." You sign "Thank you" to Dave and pack your bag. Dave just does a quick wave of his hand before exiting the class. You have music next! Hands down, best part of any and every day!
Your name is John Egbert and you are excited for Music and your movie/gaming day on Saturday.
