Chara slumps into their seat at the lunch table next to Asriel.
"Something wrong, Chara?" Asriel frowns.
"Nothing..." They sigh, tapping their fingers on the table.
"Sure doesn't seem like it.." He frowns. "If there's something wrong, you can tell me."
"..I'm just..annoyed," They don't even look at him. "I was assigned this group project with two really, really annoying girls."
"...Oh," Asriel sighs. "That sucks...I don't know anyone in most of my classes...it's even worse because I'm the only monster.."
"..Yeah," Chara nods. "..You guys don't deserve the way humans have been treating you..."
"I just don't get it," Asriel grumbles. "We're living, breathing creatures! We have feelings...and families...and complex lives, just like everyone else!"
Asriel plops his head on his arms. Chara had never seen him yell before...he had always been so kind about everything.
"..I want people to see that...but I don't know how," Chara sighs heavily. "It's not like I can help Frisk with ambassador stuff..I'd get too anxious. Besides...it's not like anyone would accept what I say."
"That's because monsters aren't supposed to be here," Someone From from the table behind them decides to cut in. "They should be back underground."
Chara growls and whirls to face them. "You don't know shit about monsters. You don't know how long they've had to suffer to get up here, so buzz off."
"I can interrupt if I want," She huffs snottily. "And suffer? Come on! Don't tell me you actually care for those freaks!"
"Hey,cut it out!" Someone near her shouts. "Leave them alone."
She huffs. "Fine."
Chara snarls and turns back. "Asshole..."
Asriel sighs sadly. "I just..don't get it..."
"Hm..?"
"Why are they so mean to monsters..?" Asriel puts his head in his hand. "We didn't do anything.."
"I don't know..." Chara shakes their head. "Humans...they're just awful. They can't accept any sort of change..."
Asriel sighs heavily. "But...notall of them can be that bad, right?"
"Most of them are..." Chara shakes their head. "Frisk and maybe a few others are okay...that's about it."
"C'mon...there had to be some more good humans out there!" Asriel demands. "I'm sure..."
"Maybe." Chara stands up. Lunch was over.

Tbh I hate timeskipping in the middle of Chapters but I have to sorry

Chara's last class was absolutely boring and just as irritating as the last. They could hear all the conversations about them. They could feel every stare burn into them as they worked. They absolutely hated it. They just wanted to be in peace and have the normal life they never got to have. Was that so bad? Apparently the universe was just against them.
There was this burning thought that was always in the back of their head telling them that deserved it.
"Hey," Someone whispered to Chara while they were working. "It's, uh, Charlie,right?"
"Chara," They mumble,not looking up.
"..Uh, yeah," He shrugs. "Anyway, I think it was actually pretty brave of ya' to stand up to Danny. He's...kind of an asshole,ha."
"No, really?" Chara rolls their eyes. "Leave me alone now, thanks."
"Jeez, just complimenting you.." He huffs and turns away.
Chara wondered if this day could be any longer.
