TSIPRAS POV

i waked up today feeling surprisingly normal after the events of last night. i was even feeling a bit a bit... less hateful? the beautiful love story unraveling between shindong the mafia boss and morax the principal has proven to me that gay people are not that bad after all.... i even found myself thinking at some point that those romantic dreams with koulis could mean something...

"no... being gay might be okay but...... i cant......"

i brushed off the thoughts and immediately hurried off to schoo. once i arrived i was greeted by none other than... koulis. this time he was surprisingly well dressed.....

he glanced at me and we made eye contact. i was too flustered to say anything when he smirked at me. the bell rung and we both hurried to class. once we got inside, i noticed that something about the kylikeiarxhs and his bf were a bit.... off. i mean they were always a bit strange and weird and annoying and were always fighting on top of that but xiao seemed especially upset today. "how curious" i thought. well its not my problem anyway. 

thryskeutics were boring as usual. i swear if i ever became the prime minister of greece i would make it illegal for a school to have less than 6 hours a day. if that was the case, would koulis be my political rival? i can only imagine our 2 big parties battling for dominance in the ekloges. i started drifting off to sleep when the door slammed OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"....xiao?" the kylikeiarxhs who was once again pretending to be a teacher said, and shivered. "what are you doing here? is everything alright? are u good in the head???"

"Wait. I am expected to place slices of meat in wrappings myself? And then... eat them? Together? Ugh, humans these days do not know what they are doing." xiao replied. ventis eyes widened in fear. suddenly xiao opened a huge portal, leading to a dark red world full of blood and monsters, and huge spider webs. all the other students immediately ran out of the classroom. it wasnt that hard bc there were like 10 of us. this school is really niche and obscure you probably wouldnt have heard of it. 

the only ones who stayed behind were me and.... koulis. i thought this was fate. maybe we were meant to get trapped in this horrifying alternate dimension and get slaughtered by the ugly badly designed monsters there. their proportions seriously didnt make any sense. i would know because i used to take character design classes from the sponsor of todays chapter, skillshare. Skillshare is an online learning community for creators. They're on a mission to unlock universal access to learning. You can choose from thousands of classes in design, photography, business and more — and take them anywhere, anytime.

i could barely finish reciting the sponsorship script when xiao grabbed me by my greasy unbrushed hair and dragged me and koulis into the portal, and closed it behind us. suddenly, i felt by head bumping into something hard. i could feel myself drifting off..........

SUDDENLY i woke up and couldnt move my arms or legs or anything actually. quite uncomfortable feeling really lame wouldnt recommend. i looked around me just to see that i was trapped in a giant spiders nest. if a spiders nest was red and dripping with blood. i started screaming until i saw koulis laying dow a few metres away from me, facing the other way. 

before you can say knife, xiao appeared next to him. we looked at me in the eyes and said "this is the challenge of True Love. awful and corny name but it encapsulated it decently wel. besides, my Own true love thought of it..." he blushed and smiled, but that didnt last logn as he turned back to me with FIRE in his eyes. "ur life depends on this bloke right here. if we wakes up and runs straight for the portal to return him home, you will burn in the eternal fires of hell for being a loser asshole. he will be fine except he will never be able to play genshin impact again. if he runs straight... or u could say gay.... to you...haha well. lets just say. u will live happily ever after!" he smiles eye to eye again and starts clapping. "well, ill see you! or i wont! depends on the choice of koulis!" he drew a rune on his hand and opened a portal "im not technically a shadowhunter but as a yaksha i can perform a lot of their more basic spells. this one was taught to me by ur principals new boyfriend!!!!" he said and disappeared.

"shit...." i said. "now how do i get this emo freak to wake up....?" i proceeded to scream, yell, shout his name, hell i even started reciting the entire script of the one piece anime trying to get him to wake up. then, the wise words of rixardos mpampis kamisiros, the saint we studied once in thryskeutics, came to me. i never pay attention to that shitty class but theres something about him that is so captivating. he once said "patience is the greatest virtue". so i decided to wait until my brain started coming up with better ideas. who knows how long this would take!!!
