A/N: After such a long fucking time, I am back! I am so freaking sorry! I didn't realize people actually read and liked this trainwreck of a story! I guess I was being a bit insecure and I thought it sucked and that I shouldn't continue. Thank you to the people that reviewed the story! Reading things that people say about my story makes me filled with joy, even if it isn't positive! I shall now continue with a little help from my moirail Kitty. She was looking at fanfics and saw that I started one, and she offered to help me with it! She might also write these Author's Notes if I forget to. This chapter is more of a filler type thing while I figure out what the fuck I'm actually going to do with this.
On a side note, if any of you have pesterchum, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to give me any ideas you might have (since I'm not sure where this is going...) or if you just wanna just rp or chat. You can pester me at angelicGamer or goggleGirl. (I don't use goggleGirl as much as the other.) If you do, tell me you read my story so I know that it isn't a random encounter!
K: You guys owe me for motivating her to continue. Being the shipper that I am, I love Johnkat WAY too much to let this idea go to waste. Shippers gonna ship! BTW, I have pesterchum too! Mine is shippingCat. Anyway, sorry for our ramblings! On with the story!
-Karkat-
John just stared at me, his cheeks flushing. Did he remember me? Did he feel the same? Did he remember anything?
"K-Karkat...?" He choked out.
Holy fuck. I felt a weird sensation in my chest. It was a mixture of relief, love, concern, and confusion.
"Yeah, it's me." I said quietly.
John suddenly hugged me. I gasped in shock, since I had not expected him to react like that. I honestly didn't have any real expectations. I didn't even think he would remember. I hugged him back tightly. I didn't want to let go. A few kids walked by the bathroom and saw us.
"Fucking fags." I heard one of them say. Luckily, John didn't seem to hear. I flipped them off. They all realized that I had heard and they walked away. FAST.
Me and John let go of each other. He was blushing like crazy. I probably was as well.
"I can't believe I found you." I heard him whisper shyly.
"You can't believe it? I can't fucking believe it! I've been looking for you forever!"
"Does anyone else go here?"
"As far as I know, Sollux, Jade, Rose, and Dave. I haven't seen anyone besides Sollux today, though."
"Sollux, Jade, Rose, AND Dave go here?! That's a lot!" John seemed to say Dave really weird, as if he was worried. Whatever.
"Did you lose contact with everyone when you first reset?" I wondered if he knew anyone else.
"Pretty much. Before I moved here, I actually went to school with Vriska and Terezi. Vriska hasn't changed a bit. Neither has Terezi."
The thought of Vriska made me angry. I remembered that Vriska and John used to speak A LOT in the past. Did they date? Did he like her? Fuck. I have to focus here.
"Is she still blind?" I asked after a short pause.
"Yep. Anyway, I actually saw a girl who looked A LOT like Kanaya in my first period class."
"Holy shit, really? Rose would be fucking thrilled to see her."
"I'll see if I can find her at lunch."
"OK."
RIIIIIIING!
-John-
"Great. We're late." I muttered. I really hoped me and Karkat had some classes together...or something! I needed to tell him how I felt. No. I couldn't! I would just get rejected. Then again, I saw Karkat's face change when I mentioned Vriska. Was that...jealousy in his eyes? Nah. What's there to even be jealous of?
"FUCK. What do you have next?"
"Um...History." I said after pulling my schedule out of my pocket.
"Same here. Let's just FUCKING HOPE that we don't get into too much trouble." Karkat said.
"Nah, I doubt it. Just say that I got lost and you were helping me get to class. I AM new, remember?" I said, trying to sound cool. Fuck sounding cool. That's Dave's thing, not mine. Dave.
"True. Let's go." Karkat grabbed my hand, pulling me out of my thoughts. As we walked, I felt my cheeks burning again. I have to find a way to control my goddamn blush. Too bad it isn't fucking possible.
I sat in a seat around a few people I didn't know. Rose was also in this class, and she sat next to me, so I guess it wasn't THAT bad. I spoke to her a little while we copied notes and answered questions. I was tempted to ask her if she knew anything about Karkat's feelings toward me.
"Rose...?"
"Yes?"
"I...um...you know what, never mind." I muttered. I just couldn't find a way to say it. I was afraid that he might hear, even though he was WAY in the back of the room, while me and Rose were closer to the front.
"Are you sure you're alright? I think something is bothering you, John." Damn her and her fucking therapist senses.
"N-No. W-What makes you say t-that?" I stuttered. Damn my nerves!
"Well, first off your face is very red, and secondly, you are stuttering. I do recall that you only stutter when you are nervous. What is it, John?" Rose looked at me, her pink eyes showing concern. Maybe I should tell her...?
"Fine, but you HAVE to promise not to tell anyone, especially Karkat."
"My lips are sealed." She pretended to zip her lips.
"I like him."
"'Like' him?"
"Ok fine! I REALLY like him. Like, like like."
"You just said like three times in a row." Rose said. She suddenly began to grin.
"What's with the fucking grin?"
"John, I believe you do not "like" him. You love Kar-"
"SHH! Rose, do you WANT the whole goddamn WORLD to know?" She was talking loud for some odd reason.
"Sorry. But, is it true?"
I sighed and nodded in return.
"Can I at LEAST tell Jade?" Rose asked quietly.
"WHAT? NO!" I said loudly.
"Why not? She IS your sister after all. She deserves to know who her brother likes, or better yet, loves."
"UGH! Fine, Rose. But not Dave. Or you-know-who!"
"Obviously not. Plus, I think I can keep a secret from my own brother." She said sarcastically.
"Ugh." I put my head down and continued to copy until the bell rang. Science next. Sadly, I didn't have Karkat in my next hour class. He had Math. Of course, Rose had the same class next, so she offered to walk with me. While we walked, she seemed to be texting someone. I didn't bother asking. I just hoped she wasn't telling anyone but Jade about who I li-love.
-Rose-
I began pestering Jade as soon as we left the classroom. Electronics were allowed in the school, as long as they weren't used during class hours.
- tentacleTherapist [TT] began pestering gardenGnostic [GG] -
TT: Jade?
TT: Are you there?
GG: of course, silly! :B
TT: Ok. I have to inform you of some excellent news that will make you happy.
GG: what?
TT: It seems that John is now going to this school along with us.
GG: OMG, REALLY! YAY! I haven't seen him in sooooo long! :D
TT: Yes. Anyway, he's been talking to me about a certain someone that he likes-or better yet-loves.
GG: oh really? Who? ;)
TT: He seems to be interested in Karkat.
GG: really? is it weird that i find that cute? :3
TT: No, I agree that it is rather adorable. Karkat seems to feel the same, so maybe they will become more than friends?
GG: i honestly hope so. even though karkat can be an asshole sometimes, there is good in him.
TT: I second that. Anyway, I will stop writing since we will see each other in maybe another minute or two.
GG: ok!
TT: Also, please do not tell my brother this.
TT: John begged me not to tell him.
TT: I do not know why, though.
GG: oh...
GG: um...
TT: You told Dave, didn't you?
GG: i'm so sorry! you said it too late!
TT: It is fine. Just tell Mr. Strider not to tell John that he knows.
GG: will do, Rose!
- tentacleTherapist [TT] ceased pestering gardenGnostic [GG] -
John is not going to be thrilled when he finds out. I wonder why.
"John...Why did you not want me to tell Dave?"
"Well...um...b-because..." John stuttered again. What was it this time?
"John. Answer the question." I stated sharply.
"Okay! Well...It would be...awkward."
"Why?"
"Um...He kind of...told me...something...before we reset." He was now blushing furiously.
"What did he say and why did no one tell me this?" I asked sternly.
"No one really knew..." John trailed off.
"John. What Did He Say?" I emphasized every word.
"He said that he kind of..." He trailed off again.
"JOHN JUST FUCKING SAY IT!" I yelled. I was beginning to get pissed.
"HE SAID THAT HE LOVES ME! JEGUS ROSE!"
"W...What? Are you sure he wasn't just being ironic as usual...?"
"Rose, Dave took off his shades when he said it. And, when he told me, he smiled. Like, genuinely. Not a smirk."
"Oh my fucking god..." I whispered breathlessly. I suddenly remembered what Jade told me. I. ROYALLY. FUCKED. UP!
"What is it?"
"..."
"Rose?!"
"John, you are going to fucking kill me and I would NOT blame you for doing so..."
Aaaaand...CLIFFHANGER! (Not really though...)
Anyway, I thought I would end on something interesting! Also, sorry about OOC Rose! Her personality is basically the same, but she is prone to curse more often if she feels strongly enough about something. I guess it is her way of "maturing" since the game. I ALSO wanted Dave to have some important role in the story, so for now he's another person that loves John. John also has some weird feelings toward him as well.
K: Did you just say this was YOUR idea? Bull fucking ship! It was MY amazing idea. D:
A: ...Kitty...you don't even ship John and Dave!
K: Purr-LEASE! I ship EVERYONE with EVERYONE! Johnkat IS my OTP, though. :3
A: ...Touche. Anyway...Everyone, I hope you enjoyed and please review! Sorry if it sucks, but its supposed to show that Karkat isn't the only one who wants John.
K: Aww... :(
A: What is it NOW?
K: I wanted to be the one to say the last line :'(
A: Maybe next time, Kitty. This IS MY story.
K: *Flips table that they were sitting at* GTFO.
A: Love you too, Moirail! *Blows a kiss at her*
K: *Facepalms*
