Frisk shifts as their door opens and Sans walks in.

"Morning, Frisk," He flips on their light.

Frisk sits up and stretches. "Mornin', Sans.."

Sans nods, waves, and walks out to let Frisk get ready. They stand up and go to the bathroom to shower.

When they finish their shower and dry off, they throw on clothes and grab their bag. A white collared shirt and black pants. And a cute little bowtie.

Chara is half asleep and sitting at the table. Toriel had already left. Sans was sitting on the couch. Frisk yawns and starts making themselves food. Chara looks to them. They gasp a little upon seeing how absolutely adorable Frisk is.

Frisk turns their head and notices Chara's slight blush. They smirk and snicker slightly.

"What?" They ask slyly.

"Nothing!" Chara snaps out of it.

"You think I look cute, don't you?" Frisk smirks.

"Wha-" Chara starts. They're cut off when Sans teleports into the seat right next to Chara. They jump and almost fall out of their seat.

"Who's cute now?" Sans asks, snickering.

"What?! No one!" They narrow their eyes, blushing harder.

Oh, Sans doesn't ship it. That's a given.

"No one was the correct answer." He says, almost threateningly. Okay...Threateningly.

"Sans!" Frisk scolds.

Sans simply shrugs and teleports back onto the couch.

Chara grumbles. "...I hate him..."

Asriel raises an eyebrow as he walks in. "Who?"

Chara jumps. "No one.."

The bus pulls up, and it immediately makes Chara anxious. They don't know how badly the situation has escalated. They don't know how badly they'll be treated. Frisk sighs and takes their hand and squeezes. Asriel takes their hand, too. Frisk lets go and walks on. Asriel keeps holding Chara's hand and hesitantly walks on. It was just as suspected. People were laughing and shouting at Chara when they noticed them. Chara bites their lip, and their breathing gets heavier. Asriel walks faster and sits down. Chara fiddles with their locket for comfort, looking down.

"Hey, Freak!" Chara hears someone shout. They don't respond. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Chara bites their lip harder and shakes their head. They cross their arms and tense up slightly.

"...No. S-Shut up.." Chara responds, rather weakly.

"What're you afraid of?" The person in the seat beside them taunts.

"I...I said...shut up..!" Chara shouts, a little more confident.

"Huh," She smirks. "You seemed a lot more confident when you attacked Danny."

"Leave them alone!" Asriel snaps.

"Why should I?"

Asriel narrows his eyes. "They never hurt you. They don't deserve this!"

"Hah!" She laughs. Chara feels sick. "Are you kidding? Of course she deserves it! She's a demon."

Asriel is NOT happy. She didn't just insult Chara, she misgendered them. It seemed purposeful, too. "No, they aren't! They haven't done anything to you!"

Chara feels like crying. They look down again and curl up slightly.

"So what if 'they' haven't done anything? That spawn from hell doesn't belong here. Neither do you."

"Hey!" Frisk pipes up. "Leave. Them. Alone. You have no right or reason to do this!"

Chara holds back a sob.

She ignores Frisk entirely, instead turning to Chara. "Aw, is the pipsqueak upset?"

"...Shut up.." Chara says, angrily, but softly.

"What was tha-" She's cut off as Asriel fires a star bullet next to her head.

"Shut up!" Asriel growls.

She smirks. "Haha...fine, then." She turns back.

Asriel turns to Chara. "...You okay?"

Chara holds back another sob and shakes their head. They felt so weak. Helpless.

This shouldn't bother you. You're weak. You always were...

Chara snaps out of it when Asriel wraps his arms around them in a hug. "It'll be okay.."

Chara can't help it anymore. A light stream of tears falls down their face, and they hug Asriel back. They barely pay attention to the people shouting around them.

"I-I'm sorry...I-I...I.." Chara starts. They keep stammering apologies.

Asriel shakes his head and hugs tighter. "It's okay.."

Chara sinks their head into his shoulder. More people are shouting. Laughing. They hate it. Their breathing gets heavier, and they start to cough.

Oh god...

They're having a panic attack. They let go and start to cough more violently. They can't breathe, they can't see...they cry harder. The tears feel thicker.

They don't realize what it is until the taste of buttercups hits their tounge. Sickly black liquid pours from their mouth and eyes. People around them are screaming now.

"They really are a demon!"

"Freak!"

"Get it away!"

Chara curls up and cries harder. They can't stop, they can't stop...

Asriel hugs them again. "C-Chara..! It's alright...I'm here...you're alright..."

Chara tries to calm down. Distract themselves. It's just so hard to stop..

Someone carefully walks down the aisle towards Chara. The driver's assistant. She leans down next to Chara. Chara jumps and looks up. Her eyes widen.

"...Uh...C..Chara...is it..?" She asks.

"I'msorryI'msorrydon'thurtme.." Chara curls up. In their panicked state, they went to their immediate reaction of apologizing when a human adult approached them.

"..Whatever makes you think that..?" She frowns. Chara yelps when she gently reaches her hand towards them. "..You'll be alright..calm down.."

This was only making Chara feel worse. They shake their head, coughing harder. More blavk tears run down their face, more liquid dripping from their mouth.

"Just-Just calm down..."

The bus stops. Chara can feel everyone staring at them.

"Give them some space!" Frisk shouts. No one listens. "Hey!" They shout again, more demanding this time. People start to sit back down or get off the bus. Asriel stays, keeping a hand on Chara's shoulder.

It takes at least five minutes for Chara to calm down. By that point, their clothes are a complete mess. They look like they got drenched in oil. The adult takes Chara's hand and leads them to the office. Asriel is told to walk in alone.

When Chara gets to the office, they're told to sit and wait. The adult speaks with the principal for a few minutes before inviting Chara in as she walks out.

Chara tentatively sits at the desk in front of the Principal.

"Chara Dreemurr, right?" She asks.

"Y..Yes, sir." Chara responds.

"Whatever this prank of yours was...it is unacceptable," She says.

"I...I'm s-sorry, ma'am, but I...I...It wasn't a prank..." Chara whimpers, looking down and wringing their hands.

"I'll let you off with a warning and send you home.." She sighs, pretty much ignoring all of what Chara said.

"...Y..Yes, ma'am," Chara bites their lip.
