   Well shit.  John hasn't talked to me since I messaged him earlier after school and I haven't seen him since 6th period when he was on the piano.  I just really hope that he's okay... 

   On another unrelated note, I've been at this school for a whole one day and I'm already swamped with tons of homework. Damn math and social studies.  Looks like I know what I'll be doing all night.

//Time skip 'cause why not <3//

   I woke up before my alarm surprisingly, so I had couple of minutes to lay there in bed contemplating everything that happened yesterday.  But the universe still wanted me to suffer more seeing as I still had to go to school today. Just great . After sitting there for a while my alarm went off and I finally decided to get up. 

   My hand out of instinct went to my wild bed of black hair, and I thought I might as well take a shower.  I walked down the short hallway and entered the left door into the bathroom.  I threw off all my clothes and looked at myself in the mirror.  I sighed and turned on the shower head and stared out the window and the sun rising over the horizon.

   Every once and awhile I would stick my hand into the water to check if it was warm yet or not.  Once I finally decided it was warm enough I jumped in front of the continuous water stream.

   When I got out of the shower I just threw on my usual t-shirt and hoodie combo, and of course my beanie. 

   "I'm leaving for school, be back around 3." I shouted to my dad as I slid on my yellow sneakers and exited the house.  I walked the usual path to the big brick prison and immediately tried to blend in the crowd, not that it was very hard.  I eventually got to my locker and twisted the dial until the door popped open.  Two notes fell out and landed at my feet, one a candy or rose red color and the other more of a cobalt/lapis color.

Blue Note: Leave Dave alone you freak.  You know we'll eventually leave you anyway and 8ecome friends with me <33333333


Red Note: Hey John, you were late today, just remember, I won't leave you for that spiderbitch Vriska.

   Not exactly how I wanted to start my day, but then again what did I expect.  I'd like to believe that Dave won't leave me for Vriska and her friends, but deep down inside me, I know he will, just like everyone else has. No one stays for long.

I shoved my backpack into the locker and got my supplies for my first few periods. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I went to look at the messages Dave sent me last night. He said to meet in the library, and honestly, I would be going there either way.

   After gliding past the endless sea of students I finally made it to the library.  I pushed the old door open and it made a subtle squeak.   I made my way over to the area with various tables and started to look for Dave. 

   But nobody was there.

   The thought of him abandoning me from earlier grew inside of me.  I knew it was too good to be true.  Letting out a quiet sigh, I pulled out a chair and plopped down onto it.  Today was going to be a long day.

   I sat around in the library for a couple minutes waiting for John to show up.  Of course, I hadn't grabbed my things yet, so I decided just to leave.  Once I managed to get back to my locker, I pulled out a red sticky note and wrote a note to John.  Gathering all my belongings, I shut the locker door and slid the note into John's locker.  I started to head back to the library to see if John was there now, but out of nowhere I felt a hand on my shoulder that spun me around.  The owner of the hand was none other than Vriska herself.  Damn she's persistent.

   "Hey Strider, why don't you come hang out with me and my friends 8efore school starts."  She smirked.  I raised and eyebrow at her, I told her yesterday that I was already hanging out with John.  Obviously that didn't get through her thick skull.  Groaning internally, I told the spiderbitch no once again and shrugged her hand off of my shoulder. 

   While I was walking back to the library, the bell decided it would be a good time to ring.  So I turned around and started to head to my first period class which was relatively close to where I was.  Hopefully John was actually at school today, he still hasn't responded to my messages, and usually he replies right away.  Something isn't right with him, but he isn't letting me know.  I just hope he is actually okay like he said. 

   And with that my second day began,  the second of many to follow.
