A/N: Sorry I was late, guys. :( Lot's of stuff going on. RR'n'E.~


Titaia sighed in relief from being released from Jade's hold. She had said something about it being the first day of tutoring, so she'd get a break. That was a good thing. She looked at her phone, to see if she got any messages. She hadn't. Why would she? She placed her phone back in her pocket. Titaia just walked around the whole A wing of the school. Tuturials were going on, still. She was bored, so shit. Why not snoop around? Titaia walked the hallways naturally, as if she was trying to get some water or something. She looked into each classroom, some were incredibly full, with actual teachers, and some were really empty, consisting of four to five students. She walked further along that wing, and turned a corner. There was a classroom with one person in it, just like hers. Titaia took a peek into the classroom, hoping that it wouldn't be obvious. On the board was the word 'Forgiveness' written in big bold capital letters. There was a girl in the room, writing in her book. Her hair was somewhat wild, and was placed in a ponytail for the time being. She was bespeckled, and she had some blue lipstick on. She had on some khaki skinny jeans, and a blue polo with blue converse… blue… Who was related to that color? Titaia tapped her chin in thought. Blue, who likes that col— Whoa shit. That's Vriska! Titaia looked at the board again, and took a note of it. Forgiveness, hm? Did Vriska have some trust issues of some kind? Oh, this was gold. Titaia tip-toed away towards the exit of the A wing. Now she had to get more intel about this, she's been wondering what has been Vriska's reason to be in this hell since day 1.

Titaia smacked her forehead. She could've sent him a text message… but something wanted her on Pesterchum, for the slim chance that someone special might pester her, and they can have a conversation…

Titaia sighed, no one else has chatted her. TA was online, why not chat with him?... She had a good enough reason to, she needed to know something. And it was totally relevant. It's not like she was desperate for him or anything. Titaia delayed it, though. She worked on some of her homework for about an hour, looking at laptop from time to time just to see it he'd pestered her. He seriously kept that promise, not to talk to her. But she had a reason, though. Right? She wasn't being thirsty. She wasn't desperately thirsty to talk to him; she was just seriously in need of some answers… Who's desperate, anyway?

– delightfulSorrow [DS] began pestering twinArmageddons [TA] –

DS: Sollux.

TA: whoa, ii2n't thii2 a 2urprii2e?

DS: Fuck you, Sollux.

DS: I hate you.

Sollux smiled, and cracked his knuckles. He knows she likes him. And it was sort of cute that she'd try to act like he pisses her off. Even though he might. But, the point is, she was finally talking to him first. Or talking to him, better yet. Either one made Sollux smile.

TA: two what do ii owe thii2 lovely plea2ure, tt?

DS: I need some information about someone.

TA: 2o you're a2kiing me?

TA: the dweeb that wouldn't know about anythiing goiing on around hiim?

DS: Why is Vriska in this dump?

TA: ii actually have no fuckiing iidea…

TA: why do you even care?

DS: The curiosity is just pissing me off.

DS: I walked past her fucking tutorial session, and saw "FORGIVENESS" written on the board.

DS: Like, don't I have a right to?

DS: What if she's a fucking killer?

DS: And she goes ballistic or something?

TA: iit 2houldn't matter two you.

DS: But, Sollux.

DS: Thanks? :l

Titaia frowned. She wasn't really worth going to fucking prison for. She sighed, and looked at the time. She had about thirty five minutes until dinner officially started. So she figured she'd finish some homework, while listening to music. No, fuck the homework, she'd listen to music. She was playing some music, and was sent to her own little world. Titaia subconsciously ripped out a piece of paper, and started writing on it. Writing and drawing, all that shit. Titaia's mind was being distracted by the music. After about twenty five minutes, and six to seven songs, Titaia looked at the clock. She figured she'd start heading down, so she gr— The fuck? Titaia looked at the paper. It was just a bunch of fucking doodling. Doodling and writing. This time, all of it was about Sollux. His duality. His oddness. His chumhandle. His fucking glasses. She even drew a cape on him… as if he were a fucking super hero… "My God…" She frowned, crumpling up the paper. She had to get out of there. She wrote something down, and stuffed it into her pocket, before exiting the room with her necessities.

She had went into the shortest line, mostly because she didn't want to wait. Sollux was in front of her, getting two trays of whatever he was ordering.

Sollux turned around and saw her. He moved out of her way, so she could skip him because he tended to take a while to get his shit. He felt this weird feeling on his upper thigh. Like something was touching him… He dismissed it though, and continued on with his purchase.

For about the whole time Sollux had been sitting at the table, Karkat and Terezi were sitting in front of Sollux. Just sitting there. Karkat would look at her every so often. Terezi would concentrate on trying to eat her food. It just kind of pissed Sollux off.

"Are you two going to fucking talk to each other or not?" Sollux snapped.

Terezi giggled wildly. "Is something wrong with you today, Sollux?"

"Are you two a thing or not?" Sollux landed his face on his palm. "Becauthe you two have been flirting hard thinthe the danthe. And it'th kind of annoying now, to be completely fucking honetht."

"Well, aren't we a bit fucking pissy today?" Karkat snapped back. He didn't bother negating Sollux's statement about their flirting because… well… he might've been flirting with her. But that wasn't the point. "Since when did you give a shit? Are you mad because she ruined the theme of two at this table?"

"Obviouthly." Sollux returned sarcastically. "That's why I'm fucking mad." He shrugged. "I don't really have a problem with you and Tthee'th thecret relationship shit. I'm jutht wondering why you'd keep your feelingth to yourself, if you know she liketh you back." He started to eat his food angrily.

Karkat's anger level lowered. "Something is telling me that this shit has to do with you somehow. Fuck me if I'm wrong, but am I right?"

Sollux shrugged. "It'th nothing KK." He sighed.

"You're such a little girl, Sollux~" Terezi teased. "You know there's something wrong!"

"Fuck you, Tthee, there'th nothing wrong with me!" Sollux snapped.

"Then why're you getting all emotional, hmm?" Terezi interrogated. The love that she had for interrogation. She wanted to be the best blind lawyer she could be, and this was good practice.

Sollux flipped her the bird, with both hands.

"Why the fuck did it get all quiet all of the sudden?" Terezi asked.

Sollux slapped his forehead, recalling that she was blind. "I thtuck up the fucking finger at you." He muttered, standing up now.

"Why is it so easy to forget that I'm blind?" She asked, turning to what she could sniff out as Karkat. "You do it all the time when you're making little hearts with your hands."

"I do NOT do that shit!" Karkat negated, crossing his arms.

Sollux walked off, heading to the elevator. Once he was in, he dug his hands into his pockets, a pose he'd assume when he was waiting to arrive on his floor. He felt a piece of folded paper in one of his pockets and pulled it out with a look of curiosity. He never really remembered putting anything in his pockets. He unfolded the paper, and gasped happily at what was on it. Written on it was simply Titaia's name and her number. Ten digits, six letters. But it was the biggest deal to him. He smiled at the piece of paper, and entered the digits into his phone and saved her number.


A/N: DunDunDunDun. A hint for what Vriska's in for, I believe? Idk. When Sollux was like "Tthee" I was attempting to make him lisp TZ. Sorry if that confused anyone. Hope you enjoyed. ^^ Update soon.. (I pray.)
