when i was lined up for the fire drill, eridan and dave came running at me.

"stacia! stacia"! they yelled

"stacia, i was so worried about you!" shouted eridan

"stacia, stacia, eridan punched and slapped me!" said dave

i gasped and looked at all of the bruised dave had. eridan must be really strong. dave was coughing a lot. i hugged him.

eridan sadly started to cry (he thought i was taking daves side but really i am neutal)

gamzee walked over to be and the group "hey motherfucker what were you doing with my fanta you asshole" gamzee asked aggressively

"i was saving your ungreatful asses!" yelled eridan

equius gasped because the word ass upset him

"what do you m-m-m-m-mean" asked tavros

"there was a fire! i put it out!"

everyone gasped, looking at him. could it be? was eridan the hero? did he save all of sburb?

"hes lying da"ve said "i am the one who saved the school"

"then why did i see him holding the soda mtherfucker" gamzee replied

"because eridan tried to take them away from me! he is evil!" dave pointed to his bruises "he did these! go ask jade"

some people ran to go ask jade

i clutched my head because i was so confused. who should i believe? eridan got on his news

"please stacia believe me!" he pleaded

i didnt know what to believe

"i dont know what to believe" i told him and walked away

he sobbed into the ground

"at least your tears are watering the flowers you otherwise useless shitback" said sollux and kicked him in the spine

he walked towards me but i told sollux i dont want any trouble i just wanted to figure out my life

i contemplated commiting suicide for a second but then i realized that is a dumb idea. i had so much to live for an i wa on an entirely new planet with all kinds of things! even if i couldnt go eat sushi or figure out my love triangle i could do all kinds of other tings. it was silly. i wondered if i should just make and dave and eridan invisible in my life. i wondered if there were boys or girls who were my soulmates and i was just too silly being tied up in all the drama.

"i hate the drama" i whispered to myself and then i began to quietly sing dear prudence by the beatles

i looked out into the lake and it was so shiny and sparkly under the sun. that made my eyes hurt but my heart refreshed. i felt like i should dive into the lake and swim until i thought of what to do with my life but before i could i got a tap on my shoulder

it was... vriska?! "wtf" i thought out loud

"hi stacia" she said "i know i was mean to you before but i just wanted to know if you could teach me how to dye your hair the way yours is? and i thought maybe we could be friends?"
