You are now Dave Strider and the new kid just walked in. You like him already. And plus he's kind of cute.
The new kid presents himself and you restrain a whistle. Karkat? Where the fuck is he from? That's fitting name though. As cute as him. And just as cute as the name you just came up with.
The teacher tells him to sit beside you. Yessssss.
He puts his bags down and you greet him.
"Sup. The name's Strider. Dave Strider." you introduce yourself, and you decide to shoot out that nickname. "Nice to meet you, KarKitty."
He flinches, then blushes. Oh god he was so cute. "The fuck did you just call me?"
You try to keep your cool. "What, you didn't like your new nickname?" you smile at him.
He blushes, shakes his head and sits down. Saying; "Whatever."
He's so cute with those red cheeks. And... Oh my gog was he pouting? That's the cutest shit ever. First minutes with him and you already want to hug him. Awesome.
When the bell rings the teacher calls Karkat, and you realize that you've been staring at him the whole class. You kind of want to follow him but it's his first day, but you shouldn't be too sticky. Yet. And besides, being sticky isn't cool. You walk out of the classroom, looking back once on KarKitty and the teacher. Kind of looks like he didn't want to be there.
When you reach the lockers, you see your derpy friend there waiting for you. John Egderp. Wait no, Egbert. Not Egderp. Well for you it's Egderp, but- ah fuck it.
He lifts hand and calls out to you.
"Dave!"
You lift a hand and wave back. "Sup bro."
"Hey, I heard that the new kid was in your class. So," he leans forwars to you, eyes sparkling. "What's he or she like?"
You quickly do the combinasion to open your locker and you click your tongue as you open the metal door, thinking of what to say of KarKitty.
"Well, it's a dude, and I don't really know him that much yet. We didn't really talk."
'But I did keep staring at him for around 75 minutes.' you add mentally.
"Oh, really? But from what I've heard, you're the only student that's made contact with him." a female coice says behind them. Both boys turn around and see two girls. Rose Lalonde and Jade Harley. You reached down to his pocket to grab his knife, but stopped halfway.
"Oh, it's just you. Don't scare the fuck out of me like that, Rose." you sighed. You've had this stalker problem when you were younger, so ever since then you've has been sleeping with his knife and taking it everywhere with you. It's not all that fancy, just a regular flip knife. Your hand traveled back to your locker. You grab your books and walked back home with your friends, separating from them at an intersection.
It was cold, and the wind was howling. Spring would be here soon, but until them you're gonna have to put up with this stupid mush of snow and water. Snow is okay, but when it mixes with water it's not too much fun. Heavy and shit. But spring wasn't a very good season either. Every single fucker in town sneezing on each other because of allergies.
You can't wait until summer. Summer here wasn't as bad as Texas, so you like the kind of cool summers over here. But before that, there was the first week of march. Spring break.
"I wonder... If I should ask KarKitty to hang out with us." you blush, nose and cheek red from something else than the cold.
When you get home, the only thing that's on your mind is that transfer student. First day and he's already so much in your head. You have no idea if this is good or bad but you throw your bag on the couch and you open the TV. You fall asleep before you know it because nothing interesting is on and you stayed up late yesterday. A gentle knock wakes you from your beauty slumber.
You sigh, rub your eyes under your shades and walk up to the door, glancing at the clock. It was around seven thirty. You then glance to the window. It's raining and snowing heavily outside. No wonder everything was off. You hurrily light a candle before you open the door. You were about to say something, but you can't seem to find the words when your eyes are greeted by none other than the kid that was stuck in your head all day.
Karkat Vantas.
