The teen wiped his tears and smiled at the troll who stood up for him. "Why did you do that?" Dave asked petting Rachel like she was a dog. A long pause came before Karkat answered. "I JUST FELT LIKE IT, OKAY FUCKASS?" Dave picked Rachel up and sighed. "Guess I'm missing school. Where do you want to go trouble maker?" Rachel put on her fake hurt expression and looked at Karkat. "Can he come with us?" Karkat was about to speak but Dave cut him off. "I'm sure he wants to attend his first day of school." Karkat almost laughed at the comment. "PLEASE LEAVING THIS HELL HOLE WOULD BE FUN." Rachel's eyes brighten as she jumped onto Karkat and attached herself around him. 'I bet he is creeped out. Poor kid.' Dave thought but to his surprise Karkat moved her on his back and she giggled. "SO WHY DO YOU HAVE HER?" He asked trying to ignore Rachel as she flicked the tip of his small, slightly rounded horns.
"My stupid brother and his husband went on a date and kids weren't allowed." He sighed and walked out of the school with Karkat following, listening to Rachel say her dad wasn't stupid.
-Time skip for 3 hours-
Rachel was asleep in her room. They had all walked to Dave's house since they hadn't picked a better place. "Why are you in Texas?" The blonde asked trying to pull off a cool kid voice. "My ancestor and dancestor wanted to move. All of our friends are here so here we are." The troll rolled up his hood's sleeve. Dave pushed up his shades making Karkat's mind wander. "WHY DO THEY CALL YOU GAY?" He asked not really knowing what gay meant. "I-I've dated a guy before. His name was John, he was nice and I loved him. He dated me only to make me feel better though. Not that it helped." Dave wiped the tears away from his red eyes. "WHAT AN ASSHOLE. HOW CAN HE BE NICE OF HE DATED YOU BUT HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP ONE SIDED?" Dave looked at him with a small smile. "He was nice to everyone. He never did anything wrong, shit one time he made a big speech on how everyone is special. The damn bullies cried!" He laughed a bit remembering the jerks crying over the lame speech. "SO WHY DOES DATING SOMEONE YOU LOVE MAKE YOU GAY?" Karkat tilted his head as his black hair swayed making it more into a puffy look.
"Gay is another word for homo. A homo is someone/thing that likes the same gender." Dave explained. "SOUND STUPID. WHY MUST LOVING SOMEONE HAVE A NAME?" He paused as a big smile popped onto Dave's pale face as if magic. "Welcome to the real world."
Maybe this idea to move was a bad choice.
