(I'm gonna start naming chapters )
Sometimes you dreamt about freedom. A place away from school, from people.. From Them. You had stopped talking to Karkat first. Then Dave. Your apartment seemed lonely without the familiar "ding!" Of their messages. It used to be a lot, but slowly they just stopped.
You seemed like a dull, mindless robot to others. School. Home. Sleep. It was an endless cycle of nothing that accompanied the loneliness you'd given yourself.
You were walking down a hall in school, when someone said your name.
"(Y/N)!" Walk faster, (Y/N).
"Come on (Y/N)!" They begged. You couldn't tell if it was Karkat or Dave. You'd forgotten how they said your name.
You turned a corner and slipped into the girls bathroom. The person followed you. It was a girl. She has semi-short white hair, with cute eyes.
"Hey," you said, trying to sound nice.
"Hi. I'm Calliope, but you can call me Callie..," she paused. "Dave and Karkat miss you."
You stayed silent, then asked her," How do you know?"
"I can tell by the way they act."
"I.. Have a class," you murmured. "Thanks for the advice."
You left, leaving Callie in the bathroom. You went to your locker and got your things and sat down in (least favorite class).
The clock ticked monotonously, making the class seem endless and terrible. Soon the day was over, after many endless classes and reflecting on Callie's words.
You were walking home, and great for you, Dave skateboarded (< is that even a word?) past slowly, with Karkat walking with him. They didn't even acknowledge you there. It secretly hurt you.
'I will deal with my problems my way,' you thought. Your way included little to no sleep, food, or communication with people.
It didn't bother you.. To deal with this this way.
Suddenly you wanted to talk to them. Hear them say something to you. You forgot what their voices sounded like, but they seemed at peace. Is this what it was like before you came here? Peaceful, calm, nice, even? You wanted to move back to (Home state), so they could all finally be happier. You will set out on your journey home tonight.
