Schoolstuck Ch 6
==Be the shocked boy
Once again you are John Egbert.
And WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?
First the new girl says she's Vriska. And you were like WHAAAAAAAAT? And the next time you blinked she changes into what she looked like the first time you saw her. Gray skinned, black hair, grey irises that were just beginning the blue that was her blood color. Her left eye had seven pupils, covered by her glasses. She had her red shoes, blue jeans, her black Scorpio shirt, and a grey jacket. Poking out of her wavy black hair were her orange-yellow horns, one was wrenched shaped at the top, while the other was barbed like a fishing hook.
"V-Vriska?" you stammered.
"Why helloooooooo John, how nice of you to FINALLY notice me," She said.
You look at the three other kids standing behind her, "Is that really-?"
"Equius, Nepeta and-"
"Eridan Ampora, wwho else?" Eridan Ampora, (who else?) would that I-think-I'm-better-than-you reply come from? Eridan looks like one would expect a hipster fish to look like grey skin, violet tinged irises, blue striped scarf, and purple cape, striped black and blue pants. Glasses, gelled up black hair with a violet streak in it, and two yellow orange horns with a single 'jag' in them.
"How are you guys here?" you asked, probably blushing bright red.
"Dunno," she said, unfazed by Eridan's interruption. "we woke up to a person telling us that we were going to miss school."
"What person?" you asked.
"The lady said she was our new 'Foster Mother' or wwhatevver that is," Eridan said.
"Do you know if there are any other trolls here?" you question, "Like Karkat?"
"Ooh! I hope Karkitty is here!" Nepeta- the short girl wearing a blue cat hat, tail and shoes and an olive green coat that was several sizes to large, added, "That would be purrfect!"
"Nepeta, I must request you refrain from talking to the humans." The large boy- Equius commanded the little troll in a strange-restrained voice.
"Oh, lightened up Equius, I'm sure John isn't that bad," Nepeta objected.
You just felt awkward watching the two Moirails argue.
"So, what's your next class?" you ask, trying to make things less awkward.
"Language arts," Vriska replies, "whatever that is."
"Really, All four of you?" you ask excitedly, and they all nod, "Cool me too!"
That statement caused Equius to break out in a sweat again. "I-I think I need a towel," he says nervously, so Nepeta pulled one out of her sylladex and handed it to him, getting a muffled "thank you" in response.
"Here, I know where it is, follow me!" You said, waving your hand in the classroom's general direction. After walking down the hall, across the commons and down another hall, you arrive at your language arts room.
"Why, Hello John! How was your break? Oh! These must be our new students!" your scatter-brained teacher, Mrs. Dross, questioned.
"My break was… Interesting to say the least, "you began, "and yes, these are the new trol-Students, Vriska, Eridan, Nepeta and Equius." You said, gesturing to each in turn.
"Well good for you! You four can take the empty seats near John's desk."
"Cool!" you said, walking over and placing you things on your desk. Vriska takes the desk to your left, Equius sits in front of you, with Nepeta to his left. Eridan sits behind Vriska, in the corner of the room. When the bell rang, Mrs. Dross had the trolls or 'new students' as the people who hadn't played Sburb saw them, introduce themselves.
WOAH. Sburb, what had happened with the game? Had you simply gone through a three year dream? Meeting with your pesterchum friends and the, well, trolls that had trolled you for all those years? Even though a good percent of the m had died, and you had only met them in a dream bubbles? Heh, a dream inside a dream, Dream-Ception. Or had the game really happened and then sent you back three years in time instead of letting you become a god?
You were too busy pondering life to notice that Mrs. Dross had called on you so you could introduce yourself.
"Sorry, I'm-" You began…
"John Egbert- or Egderp as I, and a few others, and ONLY a few others, call him." Vriska cut you off, receiving laughter as they saw you blush at the term 'Egderp'- Gog damned Dave and his 'Misspellings'
"Wwe already know him." Eridan said, and a handful of students giggled at his 'ww' impediment. You saw his fins twitch in annoyance and heard him mumble "now good loww-blooded landdwwellin fuckin humans…" as well as some other crude terms under his breath.
Mrs. Dross cleared her throat, "Very well then, Let's continue with class." Her statement quiets the laughter coming from the students.
The rest of the day went by quickly, and you found that you had at least one troll in each class. Having Eridan in theater, Vriska in math, All of them in history and study hall, and everyone but Equius in science.
Once the final bell rings, you quickly say farewell to the trolls, Vriska giving you a 'Byeeeeeeee Joooooooohn!' as you walked on down the halls and out the front doors.
As you enter your house, your- for once in your life- grateful to smell a cake baking in the kitchen, which you enter to get a snack. Not only was your dad in the kitchen, but so was Jane Crocker, whom you had met after the meteor, which had picked up ghosts of all the god-tier trolls, met you and Jade. You remember it like it was yesterday. In fact, it was yesterday. You had been reunited with Dave and Rose, and met all of the trolls, all of them. Then, you and Rose had noticed 5 figures on the ground below you. The two of you used a life boat from the ship, along with the 'windy thing' to levitate down to them. There was a 2x 'Mom?!' combo upon Rose meeting Roxy, her ecto-mom. Rose then noticed the clown and told Gamzee that Kanaya was going to kill him. And then you were introduced to Dirk Strider, Roxy Lalonde, Jake English and lastly, Jane. It took you a few moments to realize that those 4 kids had been four kids had been four of the ecto-babies you had created all those years ago, back during your game.
The seven of you had returned to the asteroid to see that the others had all gone to bed. And after you found a suitable to sleep, you did too.
…Only to wake up in your bedroom.
Sburb had been no dream.
