John sat on his bed, looking around at his room he hadn't seen in a good 9 months, everything seemed a bit strange. Not messy like his dorm, no crappy swords littering the walls or apple juice straws lazily set beside the trashcan instead of inside. While it was great and all, it made him rather…homesick? Schoolsick? What could he call it? He was too busy thinking about all this when his laptop suddenly pinged, showing the purple text he had been waiting for.
"I assume you made it home safe?" Rose sent.
"yeah!" typed John, his bright blue text popping up moments after.
"Good to hear, anything new?"
"if my it counts, my dad somehow made a cake that looks like a pie? man, imagine throwing that in someone's face!"
"So instead of getting a face full of whipped cream and pie filling, they get icing and soft cake dough?"
"yeah!"
"Sounds amusing, who will be your first victim?"
"dave, maybe. or karkat!" Karkat was a friend at college. Angry, messy brown hair, room-mate was some sort of stoner, or seemed like it. He was the dorm-leader for John's hallway, meaning he was the one who had to make sure people were in line.
"I know I am visiting my mother this weekend" John suddenly remembered Rose shared a apartment with Kanaya. Wasn't Kanaya her girlfriend? John never asked, but he had always assumed so. Dave would mention it sometimes. "Perhaps I could arrange Dave to come down with me?"
"that would be great rose! man, me and you could be a prank team!"
"Perhaps we could"
And that's where John stopped typing, since he didn't know how to continue. Rose was one of his best friends, what would it be like if he wasn't friends with her? Things certainly wouldn't be the same but…he couldn't help feeling that it be a pretty boring life. Rose was snarky, funny, pretty, and crafty.
John sighed. Ugh, he really was crushing over Rose. Seriously, it could have been anyone. Anyone! Instead it had to be a close friend. Smooth John, smooth.
"woo! how cool would that be! no one would see us coming!"
"I'm sorry John, but I have to leave to deal with some urgent matters. I'll message you when I'm done."
Urgent matters? It didn't prick at John's mind too much but a part of him still wondered. What could be so urgent?

I am so sorry for making you guys wait.
I was on a cruise and unfortunately, wifi cost a lot of money. Not only that that but I have limited CP access at the moment and I have a hard time getting things written.
Well, I hope you like this chapter. Or at least liked it better than the last one.
