Ok so first off I am very sorry for not updating sooner. I was facing a huge writers block for this chapter. Don't get me wrong I have chapters all the way up to 15 planned out, but sadly I did not know what to do with this chapter since it is the first day of school and holds almost no meaning to the story but I still need to have it to write the other chapters. The next couple chapters will defiantly have more action and fun drama stuff in them XD I am already working on it as I speak. Anyways that said leave a review and let me know what you think so far, oh and any plot ideas that you have feel free to share. ~Angie

Chapter 8

It has been several days since Sollux's emotional accident at the wedding. In the last few days Sollux ended up just sulking in his room with his laptop avoiding everyone in the world. He hated himself more than anything right then. He did tell Karkat what happened and the angry short boy ended up texting him every morning at six reminding Sollux to take his meds which the other teen did. During the rest of the weekend Sollux did everything he could to avoid the blonde teen. He knew that the next time they would see each other he would need to apologize and as much as he wanted to, he knew that the other would not be so welcoming of his stupid apology and they might just end up hurting each other even more.

Sighing, Sollux rolls out of his bed and in the process causes his laptop to fall to the ground which was resting in the tangled mess of his blankets. He mutters something and carelessly tosses it back into his bed. He wasn't completely sure what woke him up and he knew damned well that he did not wake up on his own otherwise he would not be so fucking tired. He picks up his phone to check his daily text that he receives from his best friend and only then notices a crappy animated bell shaking on his screen and loud alarm music blaring. He reads the message that says 'time for school' and turns the fucking thing off.

Groaning he runs his hand through his hair and starts pulling on the black khakis and white polo shirt that he was given the day earlier. Truthfully he was mad that he could not wear his beloved hoodies to school anymore and he was stuck wearing clothes that he had no doubt were uncomfortable and will choke him to death before the school day ends. He does however refuse to wear the school issued dress shows and instead pulls on his usual black and white shoes before slipping out his joined door into his brother's room to deal with the other.

After Tuna gets ready with Sollux's help they head to the breakfast room to get some breakfast. Actually Sollux had no idea what the room was really called it was a smaller dining room than the regular dining room and they only ate breakfast there. He and Tuna were the only ones there when they got down so they quickly eat and get a ride to the very fancy private school that they will be attending. Sollux was definitely not happy with the news. Well speaking the truth, he hated his life at the moment and was not happy with anything.

After getting their schedules from the main office and getting introduced to about half the staff, Sollux and Mituna finally part at Tunas new classroom. Walking back through the halls now by himself Sollux checks out his full size locker and stuffs most of his crap in it. Save for his binder and laptop bag. Afterwards following a crappy map he goes to his homeroom classroom which happened to be Health with Ms. Paint. He highly doubted that the teachers name was real. Who the fuck has a last name like paint? After finally pulling his hand away from her grasp after introducing himself to her and the class she kindly asks him to sit down at the only empty spot which happened to be next to Latula. Sollux sighs with relief and goes to sit next to the older Pyrope twin. Pulling out his laptop he spends the entire period coding his new project and pays very close to zero attention to anything the nice teacher says.

Second period was a bit more fun for Sollux. It was one of his electives which was Computer Graphics and even though he was not the best at artwork and animation he still loved the idea of a class in which he was supposed to use his beloved computer. After finishing his assignment he immediately went back to coding. His teacher, Mr. Spades, which was another name that Sollux was sure the teacher made up, caught him in the act. Why shocked the bipolar boy was that the teacher grabbed a chair and asked him to explain exactly what he was doing. He said it in a harsh threatening way, but meant it with curiosity. It was as if his teacher actually wanted Sollux to teach him what he was doing and how. Putting on a smile for the first time that day. Sollux spends the rest of the period talking coding and hacking with his new favorite teacher. It was kinda hard not to like the stern short guy who would probably look better off leading a mob or something instead of teaching teenagers computer graphics.

After second period, Sollux heads to third period, Pre-calculus. He does not recognize anyone in his class sadly, but does enjoy it for the most part cause it includes numbers and using a calculator which has buttons similar to that of a keyboard. He ends up playing block dude on his calculator the entire period. Mrs. Snowman, ok seriously who the fuck has these kind of last names, is very strict teacher and threatens to take his laptop away when he pulls it out. She does end up confiscating his new iPhone which he was using to text Karkat. Without his laptop or phone and with his last resort being a calculator was the reason he used his calculator to play a game. It wasn't the best and he passed the levels really quickly because it was so fucking easy for him, but it did however let the time fly by a bit faster and before he knew it the bell had rung and he was getting his stuff together to head to lunch.

Lunch had always been Sollux's favorite time during the school hours. It was the only time back in his school that he could spend time with his brother and talk non stop with his friends. Or at least listen non stop to his friends cause some of them, cough Kanaya cough, could seriously lecture for hours. Ok more like share her genius mind with the world cause lecture is not a great name to stick on to a teenagers speech. either way Sollux loved lunch time and when he spots his twin brother talking with the Pyrope girls he immediately smiles. Walking over to them he watches his twin stop speaking and run towards him. He had been glomped by his twin brother many times so when the other jumps at him he is ready and pulls him into a tight hug.

"Mithth me already Tuna?" He laughs as the other nods and starts excitedly chatting about his day. Starting off about Terezi being in his class and how he was excited be in school. Also talking about how she tried to teach him how to smell different colors but he kept messing up but did get red right away and how Terezi's favorite color was in fact red because it was delicious. Sollux laughs at his chattering and steps into the line which would allow then to get lunch. The two black haired teens are joined with the Pyrope twins and the four chat excitedly about their classes and the stupid uniforms. At least the three do, Sollux mostly simply listens and only speaks when asked a question. By the time they all have their lunches there goup is joined up with Feferi and Nepeta. Together they find an empty table and sit down enjoying their lunch.

Sollux mostly picks at his food and at one point spot Eridan on the other side of the room glaring at him but as soon as their eyes meet the other gets up and quickly walks out the room. Sighing Sollux tuna back to his meal. After lunch the group walks Terezi and Mituna to the special classroom that they stay at and then the group splits with Latula and Nepeta going to their classes and Feferi and him walking to Marine Biology which they shared with Eridan.

The three sit together and besides an awkward 'hello' the black-haired teen and the blonde pretend that the other does not exist while Feferi obsess over all the cute sea animals. Sollux finds it really cute and spends the entire class time listening to her talk about the marine life. That includes listening to her speak in fish puns and help her make up new ones which he does not mind since it helps him pass the time since it was another 'no electronics' classroom. He does not even notice the teacher the entire time, nor does he learn their name. To speak the truth I asked he would not remember if the teacher was a guy or girl.

After the marine class and an hour of listening to Feferi's fish talk they separate an Sollux ends up following Eridan to his next class, Art. Once there he spots Mituna and Terezi, both who apparently were allowed to attend one elective class for the term and they ended up choosing fifth period Art. Sollux was the happiest guy alive and manages to ignore the presence of a certain hot blonde who probably wished him death and instead watched a blind girl try to paint.

At one point the teacher did come up and scold her for sniffing the paint which Sollux had no doubt the crazy girl was already high off. It was amusing and even though his artistic skills seriously sucked he ended up enjoying the class almost as much as Computer Graphics. Secretly it may have been even more but he would never admit loving an art class more than a computer class.

After school Sollux and Mituna go back to the mansion, Sollux still had a hard time calling it home, and then ends up texting and calling his friends about his day. Actually having a good day for the first time since the move. After he goes to bed does he realize that he had not so much as thought about his smoking habit and with a smile on his lips he sends a text to inform his best friend about it before drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
