AN: Hi readers I am EXTREMELY SORRY FOR THE HIATUS BEFORE THIS CHAPTER TTT^TTT ! But I am back on to this, yey. I won't be updating as often as I used to, since I am goin to b really busy in the next couple of months. I will be making the backstory chapters longer so there will be less of them and I can get to work on the present day somewhat DaveKat stuff that is way funner to write. I will b adding the OCs a bit later than planned as I do not have wifi when I was writing this and the nxt few chapters and couldn't look at the info u gave me.

Anyhoo. PLS FURGIVE ME 4 THE HIATUS. And there may be some Karezi and the JohnDaveKat rooming together (without all that Karkat being depressed stuff so basically just funny stuff).

Merp Merry Easter

Chapter 21:

You sit in the amphitheater, next to a group of kids your age, or looked your age. You were much, much older. One of them was platinum blonde and had shades on, looking closer, you realize that they were there to not only sport his "cool kid" look, but to cover a pair of red irises, most likely to not be a freak. Your eyes met his, and he seemed to notice you, and gave a quick "sup" nod before turning away. He was unusually pale.

The girl on your right had fiery red hair that matched her red sunglasses, pointed in a fashion that made her face look sharklike almost. She is wearing a teal hoodie that has cherry red zippers and stitches, and is holding a long cane with a dragon head on top. She flashes you a smile and speaks in an interested and friendly tone. "Hey there grumpy pants!" "GRUMPY PANTS?" You question glaring at her quizzically. And the conversation went somewhat like this:

GIRL (you decided to call her shark face until you learned her actual name): Y3S. GRUMPY P4NTS

KARKAT (that is your name after all): HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF I WAS GRUMPY

SHARK FACE: B3C4US3 1 SM3LL 1T 44LLL OV3R YOUR F4C3

KARKAT: WHAT. SMELL.

SHARKFACE: UGH, 1D1OT, 1F YOU H4DN'T NOT1C3D, 1M K1ND OF BL1ND

KARKAT: YOU DON'T SEEM BLIND

SHARKFACE: WH4T3V3R; 1M T3R3Z1 BY TH3 W4Y

KARKAT: KARKAT.

TEREZI: PL34S3D TO M33T YOU K4RKL3S

Karkles. She was already on nickname basis with you, you felt a pain in your chest as you remembered Her words before you began the school. "Don't get attached to anybody, and don't let them get attached to you. It'll bring you down." You shake your head "No" you mumble. Terezi looks at you quizzically "What was that?" You shake your head again. "Nothing, just..." You trail off and look at the ground, frustrated.

She smiles her menacing yet friendly grin and begins to chatter with the girl next to her, who looked far to confident for any situation. With long bleach blonde hair and an eyepatch over one of her cobalt eyes, she was probably not a force to be reckoned with, even if she was your friend. You sigh and scan the amphitheater, looking at all possible escape routes in case something happened.

Behind you sat a skinny kid with honey hair and 3D glasses that make him look like a nerdy douchebag. He was staring at you. "HEY, F***ASS! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" You shout. You got aggravated very easily. He seemed to be spacing out or something and snapped out of his daze at "F***ASS" he shook his head and replied in an annoyed tone "Nothiing that you 2hould care about. ii wa2 ju2t thiinkiing. Bitch" his snapping at you surprises you since you didn't expect that kind of answer from the guy. "WHATEVER. WHAT'S YOUR NAME ANYWAY." You totally weren't trying to make friends, you were... Recruiting for Godteir?

"Sollux"

The douche- Sollux, spoke with a slight lisp.

"Karkat." You reply, you don't shake hands, you just meet eyes and have a silent conversation of hate but still acknowledging your newfound friendship- "friendship" hehe. Can't be to careful.

When She walks up on stage, the auditorium bursts out into a respectful applause. She smiles sweetly. You suddenly feel sick. She begins to talk about the year ahead, addressing dorms and classes and rules, but one of her rules was most likely aimed straight at you with a "don't let your fun social life get in the way of your goals-" right at that she looked at you. You jump a bit at that stare.

Everyone piled out of the place and were herded into groups of two or three by the dorm masters. Somehow you were grouped with a nerdy kid with an "I LOVE NIC CAGE" t-shirt, and the guy with the shades. This should be... interesting to say the least. "Hi there I'm John and this cool guy is Dave." Oh great. They knew each other. Hopefully they'd share the double room. "What's your name?" He questioned, and honestly you did not know how to respond. Something about that kid made your blood boil. Maybe it was how optimistic he was in the pre apocalypse? But he didn't know, not yet anyways.

"Karkat" John eyes your scar, running down the side of your face, it was subtle, but there.

"Where'd the scar come from?" He pesters, you roll your eyes "Nothing that a sh!thead like you should be concerned about, f***ass"

He seemed surprised at how such vulgar and loud words could come out of such a little creature. "Woah ok then kitkat, we won't ask again" Dave said, it was the first words he had said to you and he got your name wrong (purposely).
