A/N: Well, votes are in. And, surprisingly, the Yea's have it. I like to say thank you for those reviews and any questions. I've talked enough now, here's your well earned story:

Just like I expected, his lusus made me go alone. He said we've missed enough days of school, Karkat would be going to if he didn't play pitiful this morning. So unfortunately for me, I have to go back. I get dressed, washed, and almost out the door when Karkat calls me back upstairs.

"WhAt Is It, KaRbRo? I'm GoInG tO bE lAtE." He beckons me closer with his hands.

"GAMZEE, I...I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING..." Karkat looks at me with a face I've yet to see. It's so solemn and vague of all emotion.

"WhAt? WhAt Is It?" I try searching his face for a hint, but he keeps it straight.

"Y-YESTERDAY, WHEN I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO GET THE WORK? I-I LIED..."

"WhY?" I'm shocked it's the only thing I could think to say. He hasn't lied to me before.

"I DID GO TO THE SCHOOL TO MET WITH SOLLUX, BUT N-NOT FOR SCHOOL WORK."

"WeLl WhAt FoR, tHeN?"

"I-I...H-HE..." He grows quiet.

"WeLl?" Before he can answer, his lusus cries out.

"HE SAYS YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE..." Karkat talks in a low voice, turning away from me.

"I'm NoT lEaViNg TiLl yOu SaY wHaT's GoInG oN," He is worrying me, the way his mood has changed since this morning. He was fine when we were eating breakfast, but now...

"GAMZEE-"

"No, DoN't. YoU aLwAyS uP aNd gEt ThAt vOiCe WhEn I'Ve DoNe SoMeThInG."

"JUST...DO ME A FAVOUR?" I stare at him, and he does right back at me. "AVOID VRISKA, PLEASE?" I stay silent for a few seconds.

" I cAn'T kE-" He reaches out to grab my arm.

"PROMISE ME, YOU WILL NOT MESS WITH HER TODAY, PROMISE ME."

"I gOt To Go." I say telling him as I walk to the door.

"GAMZEE," He shouts.

"FiNe, I'lL NoT mEsS wItH hEr." I shout over my shoulder. "I'Ll sEe YoU aFtErScHoOl!"

It doesn't take me long to arrive on the campus for once. I walk over to the lunch area and sit down at the table. It's creepily quiet, there's scarcely any students around. Just a couple of trolls scattered about. I rest my head down on the table, waiting for the first bell to ring. It's actually pretty lonely being by myself, and I know Nepeta comes a little later in the morning. So I might be by myself till first period. The wind swirls around my ears, so I pull up my collar on my jacket some. I wonder if there's a classroom open right now. The only one I know of is Karkat's first period.

"WeLl, I cOulD gEt HiS hOmEwOrK aNd FiNd OuT wHaT hE's DoInG tOdAy." I get up from the table, heading over to the building that I usually am in the morning with Karkat. It doesn't take me long to find the classroom, so I head inside smiling.

"Which student are you?" A teacher sits at his desk looking at me.

"Uh, Hi, I'm NoT oNe oF yOuR sTuDeNtS I'm-"

"Then why are you in this class?" He frowns.

"I NeEdEd To GeT mY fRiEnDs WoRk." I finish. He just stares at me for a few seconds before turning to a filing cabinet.

"I'm actually the sub, there's no homework and they are watching a movie. SO, you may leave."

"ThAnKs, I tHinK." I say turning my heels back out the door. Atleast that wasited some time before my P.E. I start walking down to my class when I hear a shout out of my name.

"Gamzee! Heeeeeeeey Gamzee!" Looking over my shoulder I groan to see who it is.

"LeAvE mE aLoNe. I HaVe NoThInG tO SaY tO yOu VrIsKa." My voice growls. Picking up my pace to get away from her, but she's right beside me regardless.

"Why? Is there something bothering you?"

"YeS, YoU." I smartly.

"You reeeeeeeeally need to cheer up!" She beams right back at me. "Actually you seem to be in a good mood right now."

"ChEeR uP? YoU kIlLeD mY mOtHeRfUcKiNg bEsTfRiEd aNd TrIeD tO knOcK tHe ShIt OuT oF mE. WhY sHoUlD I bE mOtHeRfUcKiNg ChEeRy?" I look at her out the corner of my eye. "LoOk, I nEeD tO gO. LeAvE mE aLoNe." I say going down the stairs to P.E.

"Or what?" She shouts to me.

"YoU'Ll ReGreT iT."

((()))

"Mr. Makara, can you please read the next paragraph?" It's my English period, right before lunch. I was trying to sleep but my teacher had a completely different idea.

"No," I mumble to myself. "SuRe, I'Ll ReAd." I take a look at the book in front of me. Peeking at my neighbor's book, I quickly flip to the page.

"What are you, coward? I'm no coward, I only fight when I can't take any more, if that makes me afraid, then yes, I'm a coward. You're an animal, have you no morals? Have you no shame when you hang your head? Sir, not having those doesn't make me an animal. But, indeed, I am one none the less. If I had them, I would have to follow your rules. You have no pride, I should kill you where you stand! I scoff at your revelation, not being able to follow your rules doesn't mean I don't have pride. What's your pride? The pride in knowing that I shan't have the chance to become one like yourself. A man, hiding behind the iron curtain of false redemption. What have you to gain by capturing me? Nothing but a plaque upon your wall? Will killing me bring back the time you've waited, or the people I've killed?"

"Ok, that's good enough Gamzee." My teacher interrupts me, and I put my head back down. "Can anyone explain what's going on in this scene?" Not surprisingly, no one raises there hands. Our teacher sighs desperately. "Anyone!? C'mon you guys! I have to know you understand this!"

"I dO." I say raising my hand. I don't want another lecture about how it's going to be hard passing this class if you don't pay attention.

"Ok, Gamzee."

"The thief, the one that killed the detectives mother, is trying to redeem himself by explaining he was justified when he killed her."

"Good, good. How was he justifying himself?"

"By saying since he doesn't follow normal rules like the rest of us, he shouldn't have to be arrested. If anything the detective is over reacting."

"Great! It's nice to know SOMEONE knows what's going on." Just then, the bell rings to signify the end of this period. Scattering students grab their work to rush out the door before the lunch line hits. or once I head out first. The crowd thickens as I make my way to the table, when I do arrive, I'm in for a surprise. Vriska, Eridan and Feferi are sitting at my table.

"Wwell, wwell, wwell. if it ain't gam! hey, come sit wwith us." Eridan smirks at me.

"H-EY GAMZ-E-E! GLUB!" Feferi giggles. I give her a slight wave.

"Heeeeeeey, Clown8oy!" My eyes lock in with Vriska's. She's up to something, I know it. I gla=re at her turning my attention to the other two.

"So wHaT's Up mOtHeRfUcKeRs? I HaVeN't TaLkEd tO YoU iN a MoThErFuCkInG MoMeNt."

"yeah, I knoww," Eridan talks first. "you'vve been absinent for awwhile noww."

"HoW dO yOu kNoW tHat?" I raise my eyebrow.

"kar, wwe'vve been talkin a lot lately."

"Oh," I say a little surprised. I didn't know they were friends. "WhAt AbOuT yOu FeFsIs?"

"I GOT AN A+ ON MY CH-EMISTRY T-EST!" She quirks. Her excitement is oozing from her, you can feel it in the atmosphere. "AND I BAR-ELY STUDI-ED!"

"HaHaHa! ThAT'S AwEsOME!" I raise up my hand for a high-five. She returns it, still glubbing happily.

"So, your not going to ask me?" I slowly turn my head towards Vriska.

"HoW ArE YoU VrIsKa?"

"Fine, how are you?" She says curtly.

""gOoD," I turn my attention to the other half of the table

"hEy, FeFeRi, DiD YoU LiKe mY PoWeRpOiNtS?"

"You did t)(ose!?" She seems surprised.

"Yeah, KaRBrO aNd I." Just then, the bell rings. Feferis and Eridan get up from their seats.

"BY-E Gamzee! I'll glud to you later!" Feferi shouts to me.

"Yeah, see you Gam." Eridan says then continues to faithfully follow Feferi. I start walking to my next class.

"ByE yOu GuYs!" I yell back. I complete ignore Vriska's pleas and taunts for my attention, going in my Art class. The class is colder than normal, and quieter that I've ever heard it to be. I silent head to my seat resting my head down on the desk. Then, I hear a clack, clack, clacking of someone's cane coming in the class.

"HeY TeReZi." I say, but I get no reply. She sits down at her seat with out a word uttered to anyone. "TeReZi?" I turn in my seat to face her, but her head is in her hands. "HeY, sIs, WhAt's GoT yOu fRoWnInG?" I lean back in the chair, but she looks away from me.

"G4MZ33 PL34S3 NOT NOW 1-1 DONT W4NT TO T4LK TO 4NYON3." She stutters out miserably.

"TeReZi, WhAt's wRoNg? C'MoN YoU CaN TaLk tO Me." I try looking her straight in the face, but she won't even turn in my direction.

"ThErE'S No rEaSoN To bE SaD." I tell her.

"NO R34SON TO B3 S4D?! NO R34SON TO B3 S4D!? G4MZ33 N3P3T4 D13D TH4TS 4 FUCK1NG GR34T R34SON TO B3 FUCK1NG S4D!" Terezi explodes on me.

"W-WhAt?" I feel the shock drop down on me. My morail, dead?

A/N: I'm to lazy to write what I had planned out, so take this!
