(A/N: I did say sorry in advance for the last chapter. Oh, and I just want to say that, in the last chapter, I really didn't try to make Eridan out to be the bad guy, just the bearer of bad news. Don't worry, all of this drama should be cleared up in a maximum of five chapters. Hopefully. Anyways, Dave's point of view! Thanks for all of the nice reviews and see you soon!)

Your name is Dave Strider and John Egbert is avoiding you.

The worst part? You have no fucking idea why.

Earlier on today, your Biology teacher pulled you and a couple of other students out of class to talk with another teacher. He just lectured all of you about safety issues and hazards when driving your cars in the school's parking lots. Seriously? No one gives a shit. It's not like everyone is going to crash into things and run people over for some sick type of fun. We're not idiots, we do that in Grand Theft Auto, not at school. Because of the teacher's stupidity, you didn't pay any attention to him.

By the time that the completely unnecessary safety lesson was finished, Biology was just ending. Being only a couple of classes away, you stopped by the Biology room to find Egbert, but he wasn't there. Odd. He probably went to the cafeteria already, you would have. Shit, you were starving. So, you walked to the cafeteria alone. When you got there, you spied Jade and Rose already seated at your usual table, eating their lunches. Despite this, you still saw no signs of John. You ended up going over to the cafeteria food line and ordering your usual lunch of pizza and apple juice. When you finally had gotten your food, John still wasn't at your table. At that time, you had no fucking idea where John was, but you weren't going to go looking for him just yet. Hey, you were starving as shit. Looking for Egbert is an after lunch job.

As you sat down with Rose and Jade, you decided on a final attempt to learn John's mysterious whereabouts, so you asked Rose and Jade. "You, girls. Either of you two seen Egdork? Haven't seen him since the beginning of Bio. I mean, I know I'm tall and he's short, but he shouldn't be short enough to pass by the Strider line of view completely." You ask. Is it possible that he is that short? Because he is really short. Nah. "Haven't seen him, sorry!" Jade answers. Rose says the same. Weird. Where the hell could he have gone? Did Gamzee kill him or some shit? You didn't see John throughout all of lunch and you didn't see him while you walked to your next class.

And now, you are lazily ignoring your current class, History. You don't really know any of the kids in this class, they could speak French or Spanish for all you know. What you do know is that this class is boring as shit. The teacher handed out worksheets earlier but like hell you're going to do them right now. You're not a slacker, you're a procrastinator. Instead, you pull your phone out of your pocket and open up pesterchum. No one is online. God. Great. Why is no one online? We're at school right now. You can't be the only one not caring about worksheets and work right now. Who knows, maybe Terezi became an authority figure and just locked everyone up in detention. No, you'd be the first one she'd lock up. And, everyone in detention are always on their phones. Oh, wait. Someone just signed in. Who is it? Harley. Sweet. Oh yeah, isn't she in math class right now? If you were there, you'd be on your phone too. Props to Harley, the girl is pretty damn smart. Hey, isn't Egdork in her math class too? You decide to pester Jade.

GG: we share this class but hes not here?

GG: maybe hes ditching o.o

TG: do you seriously think john would ditch

TG: hed probably freak out if he missed two minutes of class

Huh. John isn't in Math class. Maybe you should pester him, even if he is offline.

TG: hey

TG: where are you

TG: jade says your not at math

TG: are you ditching and not inviting me to do the same

TG: rude

turntechGodhead ceased pestering ectoBiologist at 1:16 p.m.

Where the hell is John? Maybe Rose knows. Somehow, she knows almost everything. Almost? Shit, Lalonde knows everything. She's like one of those gypsys' with crystal balls predicting the future and saying that it will rain tomorrow, but that won't matter to you because it will be really windy before it rains and at some point, you will see a diamond on a building, so you should walk over to the side of the building and you'll magically find a twenty dollar bill there. Yeah, that's what Rose is like. You pester Rose.

TG: yo rose

TG: i have a questioning

TT: Dave, shouldn't you be paying attention to your History class?

TG: nah

TT: I really think you should be, but I know that any and all of my attempts to persuade will ultimately fail, so what is your question?

TG: do you have any idea where john is

TG: hes not in math class with jade

TG: jade told me that

TT: Actually, I do know where he is.

TG: how the fuck do you know

TT: Kanaya told me.

TT: She was in the office right before lunch to hand in some of her forms and she saw a very distraught John calling home.

TT: I tried to message John earlier, but he asked for me to leave him alone, saying that he isn't feeling well, so he went home.

TT: I suppose you already tried to message him though, haven't you?

TG: yeah hes my bro and hes missing

TT: May I ask if you are wrong and instead of him being missing, you are missing him?

TG: no fuck that

TG: i just was wondering where he is

TT: Of course you were.

TG: take that tone out of your voice

TT: I'm not talking, I'm texting and I have no tone but monotone.

TG: shut up lalonde

TG: wait first i have a second question

TG: and i swear to gog that if you make fun of me or make that smug face or something

TG: i will log the fuck off and will make you walk home tonight

TG: do you think that john is avoiding me

TG: he spoke to you and jade never tried talking to him

TG: but when i tried to pester him he just ignored me

TT: Firstly, I would like to applaud you for sending me seven messages in under one minute.

TT: Secondly, I'm sad to say that John ignoring you is a possibility, though I don't know if he is for certain.

You spend the rest of History pestering Jade and Rose. When it's finished, you have gym. Shit. Can't text in that class, the gym teacher would stab you. Someone should really take knives away from that teacher. And maybe his job, he's scary as shit. Throughout your History class, John does not reply to you once.

Your name is Dave Strider and you honestly have no idea what you did.
