Chapter 3
Nepeta's P.O.V
I hopped onto my bicycle and begin pedaling fast down the street to the highway, with nothing but my messenger bag which held my sketchbook, pencils, phone, and wallet. I would of brought my camera but it requires its own bag. I stop my bike at a red light and I tap the handles, waiting for the light to turn green again. The book shop was a few blocks away so it shouldn't take to long to get there. At the most it should only take around ten minutes.
I continued down the road once the light flashed green and I continued on down the road. Once approaching the book store I got my bike chain and locked my bicycle to the racks. I skipped inside and scanned the room for my nerdy friend. I spotted him looking at a book and decided to sneak up on him. I tip-toed over and pounced on him.
"AC tackles her friend and gives him a big hug!" I say smiling. He laughs and greets me with a simple, "Hey Nepeta!"
We sat down on the floor by the prankster books and just started talking about what's been happening these days.
"So last night I met my soulmate! His name is Karkat! He is a big grump but I know he is sweet on the inside! He is really fun to roleplay with to!" I tell him.
"Wow, he roleplays with you willingly?! You definitely met your soulmate." he replied. I squealed and used my hands to cover my face. It was so exciting!
"Speaking of soulmates, I got my wristwatch!" he replied with an edge of happiness in his voice.
"That's great John!" I squeal, giving him a hug.
"Such a coincidence too! Kanaya got hers too!" I exclaim.
"I know! We can all go on triple dates!" John said and I nodded excitedly. I blushed and nodded more, nodding was such a reoccurrence today!
"My watch is supposedly supposed to go off at the end of the school day tomorrow!" John told me.
"Really‽(1)" I said. I couldn't help but think about Dave and Rose; did they have wristwatches?
"Yeah! Oh boy, I am actually really excited about this!" he told me. I smirked, I can't wait to add him and Dave/Rose/somebody I don't know to my shipping wall!
We stayed for a few more hours; mostly reading, sketching, or drinking coffee from the indoor cafe. But soon it was evening and I had to return home.
I dashed into my house, and since there was about 30 minutes before dinner I decided to go upstairs and work on my story.
"Anthony is going to kill Lynn. It will be very dramatic!" I whisper to myself throughout my rapid typing. I clicked the final period I would need and released a sigh of relief. Chapter 13 was finished, now I could upload it! I pulled up FictionPress on my desktop and logged in. I uploaded my story and, BAM! New chapter for my readers! I felt very pleased.
"Nepeta! Dinner is ready!" Mom called from downstairs.
"Coming!" I shouted back. I closed my laptop and ran downstairs.
Karkat's P.O.V
Ding dong.
"Dave! The pizza is here!" I yell, keeping my fingers firmly pressed at the pages of the book I'm reading. No reply.
Ding Dong.
"DAVE! GET THE FUCKING DOOR." I yell, considerably louder. Still no response from the douche.
Ding Dong.
"URGH FINE." I yell, throwing my book on the bed.
I marched down the still somewhat unfamiliar staircase and got to the door. I opened the door to a freaking painted up clown.
"Holy shit. What the fuck is up with your face?" I ask in a tone of disgust. Now that I think about it, it probably wasn't the best of ideas. He was probably a decent man just trying to earn a living.
"It's my happy face. People may laugh at it but laughter brings us joy, and joy is a motherfucking miracle." he said, with the most obnoxious smirk possible.
"Whatever. Give me the pizza and you keep the change." I snarl, handing him a fifty dollar bill.
"Thanks bro. Here is your pizza." he said, his voice sounding a little more smooth but still somewhat raspy in essence. He handed me the pizzas and we both went on our own merciless ways. I set the pizza down on the table and Dave finally shows up.
"Where the ever-loving fuck were you when the pizza was coming?!" I ask. He shrugged and piled three slices on his plate. I look at him with the epitome of repugnance. He just went on his merry way. Rose came in, swiped a slice, and left. So now there were one and a half pizzas and me. I took the two remaining boxes with me upstairs and sat down to face my monitor.
Already, a message popped up for me. It appeared to be from a scumbag which just so happened to be my friend, his name is Sollux.
-hey kk
-look ii heard you moved to viirgiiniia beach.
-WHEN DID I TELL YOU THAT?
-you diidn't. but that doe2n't matter. what matter2 ii2 that ii liive iin viirgiiniia beach.
-HOLY CRAP.
-yeah ii liive liike, a miile away from you. so iim goiing to mooch food off you.
-I AM GOING TO ASSUME YOU LOCATED ME VIA MY IP ADDRESS. YOU ARE A SYNICAL ASSHOLE THAT CEASES TO AMAZE ME.
-hehe.
-ALRIGHT WHATEVER, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE. WE HAVE PIZZA SO MOOCHING SHOULD BE PRETTY EASY FOR YOU.
-alriight. 2ee you in a few.
I quickly retreated from my computer and walked to my room. I might as well put on proper pants instead of pajama pants to meet my internet bro. So I quickly put some jeans on and place the boxes of pizza in my room. I had started putting things away, and now my walls were adorned with band posters like Deftones and My Chemical Romance. Now just to wait for the little shit to get his ass over here.
I sit there, on the edge of my bed, waiting for this fucker to ring the doorbell. It actually felt pretty pathetic. But wow, I would actually be meeting one of my "Internet friends". And he goes to the same school, that's actually pretty fucking cool. I wonder what he will be like, he is probably fat considering he does nothing but hack. I chuckled silently at the thought of a fat TA.
The doorbell rung, twice to be exact, and I got up to answer it. Well now I will either meet my friend or a pedophile. I opened the door to a tall, slender man; he probably has a flat on his car.
"Hey kk. Wow you actually look like the thort, grumpy thing I imagined you would." he said with a slight lisp. My mouth gaped wide. This was the fat loser that did nothing but hack? Holy shit.
"Sollux?" I said, probably sounding surprised.
"Who elthe?" he said. Wow he talks similar to how he types, kind of like me, but somewhat more idiotic. But even with my awkward stares and gaping he invited himself in and looked around.
"Cool houthe. Where'th your room?" he asked. I headed towards the stairs and motioned up them. He followed behind me with small, careful steps as we arrived to my room. Sollux quickly launched himself onto my bed, and grabbed a slice of pizza.
"Mooching already?" I said with my normal tone of sarcasm.
"Hell yeth." he said in between bites. I snorted and sat down on the small amount of space he wasn't taking up.
"Hey kk. You live next to Nepeta."
"I know- Wait, YOU know her? But you do nothing but program, and hack, and geeky stuff!" I yelled at him. He shrugged.
"I have more of a thocial life then you think. The ith friendth with my girlfriend." he told me.
"You. Have. A. Girlfriend." I say in shock. He snickered, "What can I thay, I'm a ladieth man."
"You. Are. A. Liar." I snap at him. He tosses me his phone.
"Read 'em and weep." he said, probably talking about his texts. I shrug and enter his phone, only to find everything password locked.
"You're a little shit." I tell him.
"Oh the pathword for everything ith 'Aradia' but no capitalth." he said.
I enter it in, a-r-a-d-i-a, it worked. I looked through his message folder and found a massive conversation between him and "Aradia". It seemed like normal, friendly conversation but with a few hearts exchanged. And looks like a pic- JESUS FUCK. I threw the phone at the floor and he started laughing hysterically.
"SOLLUX, YOU ARE A SICK LITTLE FUCKER." I shout at him.
"I am anything but little conthidering my height and the photo." he snickered. I nearly socked him in the face, but I settled on slugging him in the stomach.
"Holy thit kk. You get even more pithy in perthon." he said. I roll my eyes and slunk in the bed.
"And you are even more annoying than you are online." I remark. He snorts and relaxes in my bed.
After another hour of conversation I started asking the hard hitting questions, like tumblr.
"When do you need to go home? It's 10:30 dude." I say, looking at my watch to check.
"After school tomorrow." he says.
"What? Who gave you permission to stay over?" I ask.
"I did. Besides my dads wanted to watch musicals and Aradia's parents said I couldn't stay over on a school night. I clenched, musicals sounded pretty bad.
"You have clothes and school stuff?" I ask. He nods slightly and fluffs up a pillow.
"Alright, I guess." I say as I get up and stretch my arms.
"I'm going to go get you some pillows and blankets so you can crash on the floor." I tell him.
I head to the linens closet and look out the window a few feet away. I wonder what Nepeta is doing.
Nepeta's P.O.V
Back on my computer after a dinner of parmesan crusted tilapia. Equius didn't like it, but I thought it was yummy! But besides the point, I was typing away. It was in a particularly intense part of a roleplay with Terezi when the Pouncelor and the Legislator were fighting their ways through the disease infested jungles to save the dashing knight from the fate of the evil spider witch! But it was slightly hinted that the legislator had a teeny, weeny crush on the wicked spider witch! So obviously her punishment wouldn't be to bad! Heehee, roleplaying is so much fun!
While typing in mid-paragraph a notification popped up. It was from Aradia's boyfriend! I sent a pause statement to the roleplay and put my roleplay account on idle. I then opened up the chat box to speak to Sollux.
TA: hey NP.
TA: are you there? iit would be 2tupiid iif ii ju2t contiinued rambliing here NP.
AC: :33 *ac perks her head up and runs towards sollux with gl33!* hi sollux! *she says*

TA: AA would get pii22ed iif ii let you faiil all of your cla22e2.
AC: h33h33! i guess youre right! well see ya soon!
TA: 2ee you iin a few 2econds.
A few seconds? That was hardly enough time to get to the door! I shrugged and made my way to the door and just as I approached it there were two knocks. I smiled and opened it.
Karkat's P.O.V
I finished putting away the last of the thousands of blankets that fell on me when I got the blankets Sollux would need. I grabbed those necessities and walked back to my room only to find no human life in there. Where the fuck is Sollux?! I scan the room and spot a small handwritten note.
"Letting Nepeta copy my homework. Brb
-Sollux."
No...
Nepeta's P.O.V
"Thanks Sollux!" I say with glee as he hands me all the papers.
"No prob, it's the least I can do for a friend." he says with a small shrug. I giggle at his antics.
"So who is this 'mysterious' Internet friend?" I say semi-sarcastically. He chuckles slightly, "It's my friend Karkat."
"Oh I know him!" I exclaim.
"Yeah he mentioned you." he replied in a blank voice. My heart went a flutter, he mentioned me? Score! I smiled brightly and nodded, "Well tell him I sa-"
"SOLLUX FUCKING CAPTOR WHERE ARE YOU BECAUSE I NEED TO KICK YOUR ASS." screeched someone. And by someone, I mean Karkat. He stomped over and Sollux smirked.
"What'th wrong, KK?" he asks.
"I want you to look at your car, parked on top of my mailbox and tell me you didn't do something wrong." he said, angry as usual. But it was still so adorable!
"Oh... That... It wath and acthident. Don't worry about it." Sollux brushed it off. Karkat thwacked him on the ear and I giggled. He looked over and saw me, gave a quick wave, and returned to Sollux and glared at him. He sure looked pissed!
"I don't know if this is my place to step in, but I can fix your mailbox!" I pipe up. Karkat laughs somewhat, "The mail box is crushed into oblivion." he states.
"I can make a new one! I took wood shop and I am a decent sculptor!" I say. Karkat appears to be thinking about it and shrugs, signifying a "why not?".
"Tho I athume I am off the hook?" Sollux replies. Karkat shakes his head and bids farewell; He drags Sollux back to his house with him and I close the door once they are gone. What an eventful, yet uneventful, day! I go upstairs, finish my paragraph, send it to the roleplay group, leave the chat for the night, and start on copying this homework! The copying took about 30 minutes with my quick, scribble handwriting so I had a little free time before midnight, when my brother lectures me on how I need proper sleep. But I decide to take his advice and get to sleep. So I hop into bed and snuggle my thick comforter. Ever since I got this one I know why it's called a comforter! But I laid my head down on my temper-pedic pillow and drifted off into sleep.
