After a few more decent classes it was time for lunch.

"How's the food here anyway?" You asked. "As shitty as every other school?"

"Oh no," Jade said.

"The food here is great!" John smiled. "If you like Jamie's cooking, you'll love the food here." The three of you sat down at a table in the corner of the lunch room by the window.

"Oh hey Rose!" Jade called. A blonde girl walked up to you three and sat down. She looked at you with inquiring and strange violet eyes.

"Who's this?" She asked Jade and John.

"Rose, meet Dave Strider. Dave, meet Rose Lalonde." Jade smiled.

"Rose is an old friend of mine and Jade's." John continued. "Dave just moved in with us and Jamie."

"Ah, I see" Rose said. "Well then, its a pleasure to meet you Strider."

You nodded at her.

"Heeeeeeeey John!" A girl stode up to the table and tossed her dark hair over her shoulder. She grinned at John, revealing blue-braced teeth.

"Oh hey Vriska!" He smiled back at her.

"I just got Kick-Ass on DVD. Wanna come over and watch it?"

You felt a pang of...What the hell was that? Jealousy?

Why am I jealous? Fuck I really need to figure out what the hell is up.

"Sorry I can't tonight. Jamie's home and I want to enjoy it while I can."

"Awwwwwwww," She pouted. "Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase"

"Vriska..." John sighed. "Maybe some other time."

"Fine." She said. "But you better come over this weekend. Got it?"

"Okay..."

"See ya!" And with that she turned on her heel and walked away.

After lunch you had History with Jade and Rose. You decided to ask about the girl at lunch.

"Hey who was that chick at lunch?" You asked the two of them.

"Oh her? That was Vriska Serket." Rose explained.

"She's John's friend." Jade said.

"Unfortunently" Rose added.

"I take it you don't like her?" You asked sarcasticly.

"She's a control freak for one," Jade said. "And she's been trying to get John to date her since 4th grade."

"She doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'no'" Rose added with a roll of her eyes. "And of course John is utterly oblivious to the fact."

"Who? Spider-bitch?" A girl asked, walking up to you. She had bright-red-lensed glasses and a braced smile.

"Oh hey Terezi," Jade smiled. "And yeah. Dave just met her during one of her attempts with John."

"Hehehe. Let me guess it failed?" Jade nodded and the girl cackled.

"I'm Terezi Pyrope." She grinned at you. "And I'm so sorry you had to meet Vriska."

"So basically no one likes her?"

"Vrithka? No everyone loveth that thpider-bitch." A boy with red-and-blue-lensed glasses, braces, and a lisp said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm Th-Fuck- Sollux Captor.

"What did she do anyway."

Rose snorted. "Where do we begin?"

"She made my vision even worse than before." Terezi stated. She took of her glasses to reveal the scariest eyes you had ever seen. They were almost...Red. Not just the irises either. The whole things. "She got annoyed at me for helping one of her victims so she tricked me into looking directly at a partially eclipsed sun. It burned out my retinas and my my sight even worse."

"And thhe tricked me into theriouthly hurting one of my betht friendth." Sollux added. "They never got along tho when thhe got mad at me thhe told me that my friend needed help. I wath in the dark and I didn't know it wath her I wath hurting."

"She broke my close friends heart." Rose frowned. "She agreed to date her, cheated, lied, stole her possesions, and once she got all that she wanted, she left her."

"She even put a kid in a wheelchair!" Jade said. "She 'accidently' made him fall when we all went cliff diving. He broke his neck and ended up paralyzed from the waist down! Poor Tavros..."

How the fuck did John still like her? You wondered. Now you really didn't want her near John. If she so much as bruised him you would knock those braces right off her teeth.

"Alright its time to begin class." The History teacher said. She smiled and gave you a journal, a text book, and a folder.

"The assignments from this marking period are in the folder. Just and them in to me before the marking period ends and I'll give you the points." She told you. She seemed a lot nicer than most teachers. Most of them had said you would have to make the points up by staying after school.

"Alright turn to page 345 in your text books. Today's subject is WWI and WWII."

Finally, at the end of the day, came the one class you might enjoy: Music.

You ended up having that class with Rose, Jade, John, Sollux, (unfortunently) Vriska, Terezi, and a few of their friends.

"Hello. I'm Kanaya Maryam." She was Rose's girlfriend and she spoke every word like it was its own scentence. You figured she was the one Rose was talking about when you were discussing how much of a bitch Vriska was.

"I'm, uh, Tavros Nitram." The poor dude was in a wheel chair. You figured he was the one Jade was telling you about.

"Yo Bro. I'm Gamzee Makara." He looked extremely stoned at the moment. He was the one pushing Tavros's wheelchair.

"Karkat Vantas." He looked very annoyed and very tired. The heavy dark circles and bags under his eyes were a dead givaway that he didn't sleep much.

"Hi. I'm Aradia Megido." She seemed like the happiest of them*. She was smiling and had a heavy looking book on archeology tucked under one arm.

After a few more intoductions class began. You thought the teacher was pretty cool. She had covered the walls with posters of music artists from The Beatles, to Lady Gaga, to Bob Marley, to Eminem, to My Chemical Romance. She also had every instrument imaginable in her class room. She even had turntables for gog's sake.

15 minutes before class was over she let you guys have some free time. You were about to go to the turntables to show of your mad skillz, but you were stopped but hearing piano music.

You turned around to see John playing the piano, his fingers gliding across the keys. You found yourself mesmorized by the music that flowed.

You still weren't sure about your emotions for him but whatever they were, they were strong.

Good gog Sol's lisp is a pain in the ass to type :( Sorry if it seems rushed. It was DX And I only introduced the trolls Dave will interact with during the story. Nepeta, Equius, Fef, Eridan etc. Are in it but they aren't as important :3

*I decided to use Aradia's peronality before she died. :)
