"You Can't Fix Me If Your Just As Fucked." Karlnap Angst

1.skip

Karl POV:

I get into the classroom, all eyes on me, I am the only person late.

I sit down with a 'sorry' and start doodling on the worksheet that got passed out

The teacher goes over to a kid standing by her desk, he's a new kid, I've never seen him before.

She leads him up front

"This is our new student, Nick. this is his homeroom, but, he needs someone to show him around real quick. it'll only take this period." She ignores the raise of hands, choosing the only uninterested one.

"Karl, come here."

I get up, ignoring the silent stares as I make my way to the front of the class, with a few exchanged words, we leave the classroom so I can start showing him around

"Nick, Give me your schedule" I say, he hands it over to me

"It's sapnap."

"What?"

"My nickname is sapnap, just call me sapnap."

I nod, looking at his schedule finally

"What the fuck..." I mutter under my breath, he has every single period with me except art- HOW.

"what is it?"

"We have every class together except last period- I have art and you have a computer coding class."

"Shit- that's possible?"

"I guess."

We stare at each other for a second.

"Um... I can just show you your classes after class since we're going the same way... homeroom only 20 minutes so we can skip if you want." I say

We go to the bathroom and kinda sit in awkward silence as we scroll on our phones, FOR 20 MINIUTES.

I've never been a social person, but I can tell this guy is, but he's been calming down his 'social-ness' because he can tell I'm not as social.

The bell rings, he looks up at me from the other side of the bathroom.

"Our next period is PE c'mon." I say

He trails behind me, all the way to the gym.

Once we're there he notices there are only a few students, for how big our campus Is, you'd think there's more kids.

"Damn, I thought there'd be more kids."

"Not really, there's only about 13 in this period. Over there's tommy, tubbo, and ranboo, most the time they stick together. But they're freshmen so we don't have many classes with them."

"That's techno and Jschlatt, techno is tommys older brother. But when it comes to him and jschlatt, they only really talk to each other, don't fuck with either of them. They won't be civil about it."

"Then there's guqqie and aimsey,they're really nice, but mean if you deserve it."

"That's only 7 people?"

"I don't really know much about the others. Their names are Freddie, Bill, quackity, max, rue, and I think jack..?"

He hums in response

Our coach, coach marriot, tells us we're going out to the track and running.

It's like 70°F today, fuck.

We go into the locker rooms to change, I always change in a stall, but I put my hoodie over my tee-shirt. Normally it's fine, but I know coach will have something to say.

I know he cares, that's the only reason he points it out.

But fuck man.

I step out of my stall, making eye contact with sapnap.

"Why are you in a hoodie? It's hot as fuck."

"I'm always cold, doesn't matter the heat."

"But while we're running-"

I cut him off by walking out of the locker room, meeting the rest of the group in the gym.

"Jacobs!"

Shit

I look up, coach marriot waving for me to come over.

I get over there, and look up at him

"Coach?"

"Jacobs, take that shit off."

"Sir you know I get cold-"

"I don't believe you karl-" he sighs "yknow- I'm always here if you need to talk."

"I'm fine."

"Then take off the hoodie. I'm not gonna make you run in that."

"Then I'm not running."

"Jacobs-"

He sighs, putting his head in his hands.

"I can't make you take it off, but if I don't see SOME improvement with that hoodie, I will take you to the councilors office."

"Sir-"

"No buts, jacobs. I'm sorry."

I nod in defeat, and turn back towards the group that's been made in the middle of the gym, being stopped by tommy.

"What happened?" He asked, a little energetically.

"Uh- what?"

"He talked about my dad-i wanna know why obviously."

Right. Mr. Watson, the schools counselor, is tommy and technos dad.

Adopted, but still their father.

"I'm not going to go to Mr. Watsons office, don't worry about it"

I try to get past him, being stopped.

God this kids annoying

"Tommy, please."

"Hypothetically, if you were to get sent to his office, why?"

"I don't know, there's no reason I would be sent there."

he sighs finally backing away, thank fuck.

we go out to the track, and begin running. I decide to pretend im not sweating to hell right now, its so fucking hot though.

after around 15 minutes, coach Marriot finally blows his whistle, letting us have a break. I dart off the track, immediately putting my hands on my knees, panting.

"Dude, are you sure youre alright?" Sapnap says, offering me an unopened water bottle

"I'm fine." I take the bottle, basically downing it, I can't help but notice him doing the same.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah- I just get light headed easily." he states, a weak smile on his face, I don't question it.

The rest of the day goes easily, getting closer with nick each period, I think we can be friends, as long as I don't fuck it up, and as long as he doesn't find out too much about me.

The bell for last period rang, and I got my shit together and left the classroom, heading for the door to begin walking home.

"Karl!", I turn around to the voice, sapnap.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you going through that door-? The parking lots through the other one."

"Oh- I walk home."

"I can drive you if you want, it's too hot for you to walk in that hoodie."

"No- it's really not a long walk, only like 15/20 minutes depending on-"

"Karl- just let me drive you, I'd just feel like an asshole if I passed you."

"Fine- but only for today, you probably wouldn't even pass me while your driving anyways-"

"Just- just come on."
