Hello everyone! I'm so happy this has now reached it's fifteenth chapter! There's a lot more to come, so I hope you guys enjoy! I personally call this chapter "Everyone fights and Feferi is a little shit"! But that's just me. Next chapter is a Latula chapter, and it'll be pretty short, so I hope you don't mind that. Afterwards, we finally get to Eridan and Sollux's date! Hope you all are as excited as I am! So, drop me a review! Tell me what you guys think! Enjoy.

Sitting down in history class, Karkat sighed and glared across the table at Sollux, who was doodling in his notebook a dinosaur destroying a city. He continued to glare until Sollux looked up, cocking an eyebrow and tilting his head.

"You're an idiot."

"Oh my god, KK, thtop," Sollux said, rolling his eyes and turning back to his doodles. The dinosaur was now spitting fire, and Sollux colored it in with orange highlighter.

Karkat groaned and ran his hand through his messy black hair and leaned back in his chair, looking around the class room. Dave was nowhere to be found, and no one else around the room seemed very interesting. He did observe the history geeks, Eridan among them, gathered around the teacher's desk, and he could hear the shuffle of papers as Eridan walked them all through his research. The teacher seemed impressed, and congratulated Eridan on his work before the boy sauntered over to the table and sat down next to Karkat.

"Good morning," Eridan said, smiling smugly. He was obviously proud of his work.

"Morning," Sollux muttered, scribbling in his notebook still.

Karkat rolled his eyes and said, "I'm pretty sure Sollux is too busy letting his stupid cartoon dinosaur destroy the city to notice you."

"I noticed him! I'm jutht giving my dinosaur a mullet," Sollux muttered again.

Eridan rolled his eyes. "And we all know how important it is that dinosaurs stay up to date with the fashions of the eighties."

"Thhut up," Sollux said, finishing his scribbling and looking up at them. "Where'th Dave?"

Eridan shrugged, and Karkat said, "Last I saw him, he was hanging out with Aradia. I think they were talking about his new amber casing."

Dave walked in a bit later and sat down, glaring across the table at all three of them before raising his hand and yelling as he waved it, "Hey, teach'! Can I get a seat change sent my way faster than the speed of light?"

"You can get a seat change the same time everyone else does," the teacher said. "As for today, you all have a pairs assignment, and I chose your pairs so no whining! Now, when I read out your pair, group up. Eridan and Dave. Sollux and Terezi. Karkat and Gamzee." Karkat let the teacher drone on as he got up to sit next to the druggie, who was actually sober for once but still talking about miracles.

"Your assignment is to research about the Crusades according to the theme I give you. Dave and Eridan, you two have politics. Congratulations to you, Dave, because Eridan happens to be quite good at history while you are lacking!"

"Hey!" Dave shouted.

"Stop complaining," the teacher snapped. "Sollux, Terezi, you two are researching religion. This is really easy because the Crusades were basically all about religion. Karkat and Gamzee, you'll be doing ethnics." Karkat stopped listening then and tried to work with Gamzee, though it was mainly Karkat babbling on and on while Gamzee stared off into space.

After school, Karkat wandered up to Kankri, Cronus, Eridan and Sollux. Sollux and Eridan were talking about movies, and Cronus was listening to Kankri lecture with a bored expression on his face. Karkat noticed Aranea walk up with Meenah and Feferi in tow, and Vriska has Terezi by her side as well as Latula.

"V-Woah, v-when did this become a party? I thought Kankri and Karkat v-were coming ov-wer only." Cronus tilted his head in confusion.

Aranea shrugged. "Well, I wanted Meenah to come over, and then Feferi of course wanted to tag along." Karkat saw Eridan get a little tense. Eridan hadn't told Feferi about Sollux yet.

"I just wanted to hang out with Terezi in all honesty," Vriska said.

Karkat groaned. "Why don't you just invite Sollux to the party, too? I mean, he and Terezi can work on their project! And then I can get Gamzee and Kurloz to come along and bring all the drugs in the world. We can all hang out and get high, and listen to Cronus play his guitar and tell us all about love and friendship!"

"Karkat, manners, please," Kankri said softly. "I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for all of this. Now, you all have projects, do you not? Everyone's partner is here except Karkat and Vriska's. So, we'll get Gamzee and…?"

Vriska muttered, "Aradia."

"So we'll get Gamzee and Aradia to come over as well, and if Kurloz and Damara happen to tag along, so be it. We have plenty of room in the car," Kankri said reasonably.

"Hey, asshat, you do realize that we have a few cars and the entirety of the school you just invited, right? And did you even stop to think that this is Cronus, Aranea, Eridan and Vriska's house we're going to? It's pretty rude to just invite people over without permission, and as someone who constantly is hounding me for my manners, I'd say that was pretty rude." Karkat glared at Kankri.

"I'm choosing to ignore your anger-filled rant because what I want to say may trigger some people. You and I will talk at home."

Vriska growled. "I'm going to go find Gamzee and Nepeta. I'll see you guys in a minute. Terezi, come on." Terezi followed silently, shrugging.

Eridan sighed and rolled his eyes. "This got much too dramatic much too quickly."

"You can thay that again," Sollux muttered.

Soon Vriska was back and everyone got into their cars. Karkat convinced Eridan and Sollux to ride with him, and before Feferi could invite herself, Nepeta was pulling her into Vriska's car while meowing in Feferi's ear about projects. Eridan waved before turning back to Karkat and saying, "Thank you so much."

He nodded. "No problem. Her feelings are a bit obvious, and I don't dislike you enough to make you suffer through them." Karkat couldn't help but smile a tiny bit.

"But seriously, thank you," Eridan said again. "Feferi doesn't exactly know-w about Sol an' I yet."

"You haven't told your betht friend yet? That'th kind of rude," Sollux said.

Eridan shrugged. "I didn't w-want to be rude about it." He turned back to Karkat, but before he could say another word, Karkat yelled, "If you thank me for saving your pathetic hipster ass one more time, I swear I will kick you out of this fucking car onto the street and I'll text Terezi to throw out Feferi, and she can have her way with you."

Eridan's mouth snapped shut, and the car was soon filled with Kankri lecturing Karkat on his language. Karkat only drowned him out and looked out the window, watching the trees pass until Kankri pulled up into the driveway of the Ampora-Serket home. Karkat jumped out of the car, followed by Sollux and Eridan, and the three boys ran inside, their goal only to get away from Kankri's ranting. Karkat ran upstairs, and the three boys looked around to find an escape from the irritating voice calling their names and claiming that he wasn't done with his lecture.

Vriska trotted up the stairs. "Karkat, get on your hands and knees."

"Excuse me?"

"Do you want to listen to Kankri lecture?" She asked. Karkat got on his hands and knees as she told Eridan and Sollux to get the rest of the group and bring them up, and soon Vriska was on his back pulling at a string that had been hanging on a hook. A ladder dropped and soon everyone was up in the attic. Everyone threw down their backpacks and sat down in the middle. Karkat saw Feferi walking towards Eridan, but soon Sollux and Karkat were by his sides, and Feferi turned back to Terezi, Nepeta and Vriska.

"Tha-"

"Stop," Karkat snapped. "I'm doing it because Sollux likes you, not because I like you."

Eridan rolled his eyes and began chatting with Sollux while Terezi sat down on Karkat's other side, saying, "You don't exactly seem happy to be here, Karkles."

"I want to get my project done and go home," Karkat muttered.

"I don't even want to do this project," Terezi said, running a hand through her hair. "I think it's stupid. We haven't even reached the Crusades in our textbooks yet."

"He's making us do it because he hates us," Vriska said with a growl.

Eridan sighed and shook his head. "He's doing it because it's our second week and it's his favorite section of history."

"You would know since you're a teacher's pet," Karkat groaned.

"Hey, KK, calm down," Sollux said slowly.

Feferi leaned forward. "Since when did you care about Karkat yelling at Eridan, Sollux? I thought you hated him! In fact, don't you hate everyone?"

Aradia smirked and nodded. "As someone who has dated the little freak, I can agree with that." Her smile turned cheerful.

"Wow, why do you have to be such a huge bitch about it, Aradia?" Vriska asked. "I mean, you can call Eridan a freak all you want, but Sollux?"

"We broke up, remember?" Sollux said.

"I broke up with him."

"No, I broke up with you!" Sollux said. "Will you thtop lying to everyone about that?"

"I'm not lying!" Aradia said.

"Go thleep with one of your dead thingth!"

"Sollux, you never answered my question," Feferi said tauntingly.

Before Sollux could speak, Eridan shouted, "He's defendin' me because he's my boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend?" Feferi said, confused.

Sollux smiled and could feel his face heat up. "Boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend," Eridan confirmed. That was when the yelling and accusations started. Sollux and Aradia argued over who broke up with who. Nepeta and Feferi were fighting with Eridan over his sexuality. Everyone else seemed to join in, and even Karkat yelled at some points until he just couldn't take it anymore.

"Will you all shut up? We were supposed to be working on this stupid project! How did we even get to fighting? We are not idiot middle schoolers! We're high schoolers! Let's act like it. Come on. Pair up, and get to work. We can kill each other later. God, you all give me a fucking headache."

Everyone did get to work, and Eridan and Karkat were done relatively fast thanks to Eridan's previous knowledge on the subject. Karkat's partner's absence made things relatively difficult for Karkat, but thankfully Eridan was there to help. And everyone knew Dave was not going to be participating in any sort of history project ever, especially with Eridan Ampora. So, in the end, Karkat and Eridan helped each other on the projects, and soon, everyone was heading home. Karkat sighed from the passenger seat of Kankri's little red car, watching Sollux walk home with Terezi and Latula, and wondering why they were all laughing so hard.
