PJTHGTBBTFANATIC73:

This was extravagant! I really like how you incorporated Kanaya and Eriden with the group. The small hint that Dirk likes *someone* ;) It's really cute and I fangirled a bit when Dave swept Dirk off of his feet.

Thanks a lot for the "extravagant" I thought it was more of a luscious but that's damn good too. Glad to know I made you fan girl and I hope there will be more.

You mofos are the coolest literature stalkers I know.

ON TO THE STORY:

You are Dave Ben Stiller Strider and you're sitting in your Japanese class sensei talk on and on about sentence structure while you tap on your phone some new lyrics for a song you've been working on.

"Hey dude, Sensei's coming." Dirk warned so I flashed it away and looked interested while looking bored too.

"Dave-san, is there something you'd like to say?" Megido Sensei asked, she wore a dark red Chinese style dress with a bun held by a weird twist tie. She had big tits, and looked like an anime poster woman named Damara Megido.

"Not really sensei" I smirk

"Go ahead and tell the class why you were talking to Dirk-san in my class." She snapped

"Well, I asked why when you were in that long rant earlier; why'd you say 'that asshole won't be back' instead of kaerimasu, or return?" I said shrugging, "Just seems more fluid that way." I smirked

"…" She just looked at me before her deep red painted lips curled into a smile, "I think I'll like you in here…" She then turned around and went on with her lesson.

"So you're fluent huh?" Dirk grinned

"Hell yeah, Bro's all doki doki over anime and shit; he gets the original shit and won't let me use subtitles." I shrug

"Hmm, cool." He nods and goes back to drawing in his binder while I start remixing old beats I had on my phone. I glance at his drawing and holy shit, it looks like a perfect anime drawing. He's drawing himself on a flying rocket board. The thing looks like the one in his room…

"Pchoooooooo…" I whisper, knowing he'd hear me. I see him quirk a little half smile before he draws more to the side, now it looks like some robot shit or something. I shrug and go back to my beats before long the bell rings. "So where you off to next?"

"I have software programming with Mr. Captor, you have… physics. Oh but Sollux, Aradia and Karkat will be in there with you. Mrs. Captor-Pyrope is rad, in fact call her that, she'll be even chiller. And Sollux is her brother in law."

"Huh… is everyone here related to someone else here?" I asked

"Well… most of the faculty attended the same college that our Principal Mr. Hussie and Vice Principal Mr. Spades came from… he hired them all fresh out of college to start this place as an 'alternate' school. Thus the name." Dirk shrugged, "So I guess so."

"Huh, cool. How will I know who's Sollux, Aradia and Karkat?"

"Aradia and Sollux are madly in love, you'll notice them… plus Aradia's Megido Sensei's daughter. Karkat… will be grouchy and probably call you something rude." He chuckled, "He's a spunky fucker."

"Guess you're good friends with them?" I noted

"Not bffs yeeeet, I've only been in this town a month. But they're the kind of people you can be yourself around." Dirk smirks

"You just moved here too? I thought Rose and Roxy were here a while."

"I just moved in with them. Long… personal story." He nodded toward the room next to me, "Go learn and shit." He turned and flashed away in the nearly empty hallway. I shrugged and entered before I noticed, Dirk walked me to class…

Huh.

I shake my head and step in the class. I look and see mostly normal kids but in the back I see a short tannish kid with messy as fuck black hair ranting at a dude wearing 3-d shades just typing away at a laptop with a busty girl leaning on his shoulder. That's gotta be them. I see the teacher and she's red shades and a long teal shirt, black pants with red tennis shoes. She's dressed really casual compared to Megido-Sensei.

"Sup new kid! I'm your physics teacher, we're doing aerodynamics right now so kick back and relax!"

"Cool, rad shades by the way." I note after Dirk's suggestion

"Thanks, yours are pretty radical too!" She grins, "Go sit wherever there's a seat left!" I nod and stroll over to the guessed-Karkat. The bell rang but she stepped out to "grab her special board"

I stand by the seat and look at him, "You Karkat?" I ask

"Why do you wanna know douche-muffin?" He grumbled

"KK don't be a dick jutht cauthe you thuck a math." 3-D kid lisped and smirked, "Thith is KK, and the'th AA." I guess that means I'm right?

"MATH DOESN'T BELONG WITH SCIENCE IT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT! And who the ever-loving fuck are you, and why do you wanna know?!" Grouchy asked he had a raspy voice like he yelled all the damn time.

"I'm Dave, Rose's friend; Dirk said you guys were in here." I nodded to them

"Dirk Lalonde? Huh guess it's a small world." Karkat grumbled, "Like we needed more 'ironic' or 'sugoi' or whatever shitty shade wearers…" Karkat grumbled

"Hello Dave, I'm Aradia, Sollux's the only one to call me AA. Welcome to Alternia High." She said in a cool but kind voice, her hair was a deep brown with red highlights curling to her lower back. She was tan in most places… but she had a little scarring all over her arms.

"Don't stare." Karkat whispered discreetly. I didn't bother to mention how I wore mirror shades and he couldn't tell. "By the way dick-licker, why're you wearing shades indoors?"

"If I took them off, all the girls would die." I smirk

"Thatth fucking lame." Sollux lisped, he looked half Asian or so with spiked out honey blond hair.

"You can call it what you want bro, I'm just protecting all the ladies here from losing their minds… and panties." I smirk, then I remembered something, "Where's the software programming class?" I ask Sollux

"All the way acroth the camputh. Why?"

"No reason." I light up my phone and click pesterchum

turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering timaeusTestified [TT]at 10:03 AM

TG: very princely

TG: cool see ya dude

turntechGodhead [TG] ceased pestering timaeusTestified [TT]at 10:15 AM

I pocketed my phone and saw Mrs. Captor-Pyrope on a skateboard explaining the balance and explain the force control and how speed affects the jumps. She then put on a skateboarding movie and explained the ideas behind them; this was probably the coolest science class I've seen. I boarded too but the precise way she measured the angles and everything made it sound like if you could land a grind down a railway, you were a fucking genius. The bell rang and I gave her a thumbs up and told her it was a rad class.

"Thanks dude! Gonna tell my sis to look for you at lunch!" She shouted

"ARGH!" Karkat growled and stomped out of class.

"What the fuck is he shit flipping about?" I turn to the love birds

"He'th jutht jealouth cauthe TZ'th thith will try to hook you 2 up." Sollux snorted

"TZ?"

"Terezi, her sister and Karkat's flushed red crush." Aradia giggled, "He's been trying to work up the courage to ask her out…" She sighed, "but Vriska keeps interfering…So he'll probably take his frustrations out on you…"

"Huh. Okay. Is this Terezi cool?" I ask

"She'll be in gym now…" Aradia smiled

"So am I, I'll follow you I guess." She nods and turns to give her boyfriend a kiss. "I'm not here, take your time."

"I shall." Aradia smiled, but she waved and walked ahead of me.

"So, why're you a P.E. TA? That's lame"

"I need to participate in gym, but I can't strain my body right now…" She smiled

"Oh, are you okay?" I look her over, but other than scars she seemed fine.

"I was in… and explosion. I actually died for a couple minutes and then was in a coma…" She looked at me, "Death is a funny thing…" she mused

"Why's that?"

"Well, it's supposed to be an end… but it was a beginning; it made me love Sollux more… even though he blames himself for the accident, I think it was supposed to happen."

"What like fate?" I ask

"Hmm… more like it was meant to be, but I could have avoided it in time… had I not protected Sollux."

"So you let yourself be hurt for him? Wow…" SHE was a real knight…

"He's more hurt than I am about the incident… the scars on my body… are tenfold on his heart. But I love him… and he loves me. That's all I need to know now." She stopped and I saw I was near the front of the boy's locker rooms, Dirk waiting by the door.

"…y'know, I'm actually not being sarcastic when I say you're fucking awesome." I smirk

"And I want you to know I am never sarcastic when I say, 'I know'" She smiled mischievously and walked toward the girls room.

"You guys talked huh?" Dirk noted

"Yeah… she's pretty amazing." I was still surprised by the deep ass shit she revealed.

Dirk nodded, "Yeah, she says she likes to use all the time she has now."

"How'd the explosion happen?" I asked as we went in to change, I grabbed a uniform from the counter labeled: D Strider

"Sollux was repairing a messed up wiring problem at the old library she likes, there was a spark and the place exploded, she jumped in front of the falling rafter to shield Sollux." He said

"Whoa…" I sighed, makes me feel like a loser… I didn't even get to tell my person I loved them… I bitched out at the end.

"Yeah… she's a protector for sure. She literally died for him." He smirked, "Pretty sugoi huh?"

"Damn straight."

"Let's hurry up, today's archery and if we're late Zahhak will make us run laps, so not cool." He stripped his shirt off and I stared at him a bit before I changed too. I turned when I finished stuffing my shit in the locker and saw his shades flash red for a sec again.

"What was that?"

"What?" He tilted his head

"The red line running across your shades."

"AR's acting up for me. I don't want to talk to some… random… person on pesterchum."

"Mkay…" I nod and leave with Dirk following, I feel him flash by me and he's in front of me now.

He leans in a bit but his glasses flash again and he grits his teeth and clicks the side of the glasses. I guess he sees my confusion because he sighs, "Maybe I'll tell you later."

"Don't force yourself dude." I shrug, I am curious but everyone's got their own shit.

"Thanks… but I think I'll want too… sooner or later." He smiles a little and I feel my stoic mask drop a bit to touch his shoulder.

"Whenever you want, I'll try and help. Like that Eridan guy or something…" I shrug.

"Dude I hope he gets the girl… don't want him 'wweh-ing' on you if he's dumped…" Dirk smirked

"Yeah, I'm not a great shoulder to cry on." I nod and walk out the door.

Dirk pulls my gym shirt collar enough to pull me back and he puts his head on my shoulder and sighs. He's hugging me from behind basically… "I don't know Dave… You feel like a great shoulder to cry on… or something." He let go and opened the door and left, holding it open for me. I feel my face heat up a little behind my shades.
