He sighed, opening his eyes. This classroom was so boring. He clutched his sides tightly. What the hell just happened? Why'd his stomach feel like it was squashed? His heart felt like it stopped for a second too. " ? Is something wrong?"

He looked up, shaking his head. He let go of his sides. He could hear a few remarks from the back. Most likely that god damn prick hipster. He always made fun of him with Vriska. For his height, his eye color, his sweater and his family. Nepeta wasn't that bad. She was really fucking sweet actually.

He turned around, shooting Ampora a glare. He wasn't about to talk in front of everyone though. He hated these asseating fuckfaces. He was sure they hated him too. Good. Let's keep it that way.

He glanced at the clock, quickly covering his ears. The bell signaled everyone to panic and rush out of the room to their next class except for Karkat. He could hear Eridan as he hissed out, "That fucker and his cat sister... There's something wrong with them."

Fuck, did he mention he HATED him? He stood up, shoving his things in his bag and slinging it over his shoulder. At least it was lunchtime. He dragged his feet to the cafeteria, where Sollux insisted on meeting him. It wasn't bad hanging out with him. He did have a car too. "Hey KK!"

He walked up to the lisping prick, murmuring, "Hey assface. Can we get going? We only have a part of a hour."

Sollux snickered, tossing the keys into the air and catching them. "Yeah, yeah. Jutht wait for FF."

Karkat groaned, "Can we not bring your girlfriend along for once? You two always end up making out in that damn car! I have to walk back to school!"

"Jeethz, calm down. The'th bringing thomeone elthe."

"It better be someone I can fucking tolerate." The hyper blond came up as bubbly as always. With Eridan? Oh, hell no. "Sollux, I'm leaving."

"KK, calm down. You know you aren't leaving and that he ithn't thteppinh in my car."

Karkat grumbled, crossing his arms. "If he says anything to me, I'm going to eat with Gamzee."

Eridan smirked as he stood over Karkat. "Well, well. We takin' the short, quiet kid with us?"

Karkat glared at him before turning to Feferi. "Why'd you bring him along?"

"Because he was swimming all alone!"

"Like I care... This prick messes with me all of the time." Karkat huffed. He didn't bother listening to Eridan complain about him. It didn't matter. "Sollux, have fun. I'm not going today." He pushed past Ampora, walking over to an empty table.

Moments later, he was buried in his book. Oh, ... Why couldn't he be a super hit detective with everyone falling for him? Probably even while going behind his lover's back to see what they were doing behind his back.

"Ahem. Excuse me, you're sitting at our ta-"

"I didn't see a name on it."

"We sit here everyday and ev-"

"I'm not everyone so leave me the fuck alone!" Karkat growled, turning away and going back to his book.

A second later, he heard trays clacking onto the table. Whoever it was didn't sit down, did they? He peeked over the book.
