Karkat POV:
I carried the last box into the small room before setting it down and taking a look at my work. I pulled out my phone, "Ughh." I groaned looking at the time. "I can't be late." I mumbled walking into the bathroom. I undress and turn the water stepping in. I wait for the water to heat up while humming.
TIME SKIP (im not gonna describe how Karkat cleans himself. XD)
I stepped out checking the time again. "Damn!" I shouted slipping my shirt on while struggling to pull up my pants. "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, FUCK!" I muttered while sprinting out the door. I ran down the street muttering apologies to the many people I bumped into. Checking the time once more i quickened my pace. I turned and ran down the block seeing the building in the distance. "Can't be late." I exclaimed as I inched closer to the building. I'm gonna make it! I thought. Until, "FUCK!" I wheezed as I hit the ground. I looked up to see a boy maybe my age standing, he had blonde hair and shades on. "Oh, sorry.' He stretched an arm out. "I sent him a glare before swatting his hand away. "Watch where you're going Asswipe!" I snarled before standing and brushing myself off. "Chill Short stack, it was an accident." He said with a stoic face. The Fuck is this guys problem!? I thought. "Whatever." I said pushing past him into the building. "Dammit, 15 minutes late cause of that douche." I muttered walking to the counter. "Umm, i'm Karkat Vantas. Here for the job meeting." I said sweating slightly. "Oh, you're a little late. But we can see if the manager will still see you." She smiled before walking into the back room. I waited for a minute until she came back out. "This way Mr. Vantas." She smiled again showing me into the room. I sat down in front of a large desk only to look up at a man in a suit and tie staring at me. "So, Mr. . . .Karkat Vantas?" he asked looking down at my resume. Why is he in a suit, this is a frozen yogurt place!? I nodded. "You're resume says you have no experience?" he asked pointing to the empty spot on the paper. The Fuck does he expect!? No CEO of major company is gonna waltz in here asking for a job to serve people freezer burnt bacteria! "Well, I figured this would be a great place to start." I gave a faux smile. "yet you show up 15 minutes late?" He asked. This bulgelicker! Is he trying to annoy the fuck outta me? cause it's fuckin working! I hold my composure. "I can explain." I simply say. He looked at me furrowed his eyebrows then nodded. I sighed. "I just got in town today, and I was unpacking. Then I was supposed to show up atleast 5 minutes late until traffic got bad. And then I ran into a guy right outside the building." I said with a pleading look. This nooksniff better give me that job or I swear to gog i'll kick dumbass! He looked at me and sighed. "You can have the job, but if you're late again you'll be fired." He said with a nod. I did an internally gave myself a high five. I nodded stood and left.
Time Skip (He's just walking back home XD)
I made it home and flopped onto the couch with a huff. "I don't wanna deal with school." I groaned into a cushion. I sat up and walked into the kitchen for some reason looking through an empty fridge. I sighed and went to my room. Walking in I sighed and fell into the warm mattress. I dozed off to sleep after a couple minutes.
Time Skip (Short POV, but ya' know I am a lazy person.Maybe you don't know? Well now you know.XD)
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! I woke up to an annoying alarm that Kankri bought for me. I'm surprised he hasn't called yet. I stood up and walked straight to my dresser. Grabing clothes I walked out the room and into the bathroom. I took a shower and got dressed, cleaning my horns and brushing my teeth followed after. I made my way outside grabbing my bag. "Time to be annoyed" I murmured. I made my way down the street ti the bus stop. My eyes widened as I noticed the blonde fucker with the shades standing there being surrounded. Was that a usual thing? I huffed and sat myself on the nearby bench. He immediately took notice of me. He walked over to me with his poker face. I tried to ignore him but he sat down and stared at me. I took out a book and continued to ignore him, he began reading over my shoulder. I could hear snickers from in front of me. He tapped my shoulder, i ignored him, he taped my shoulder, I ignored him this went on for a good minute. Until I snapped. "THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?" I shouted. He gave me his stoic look once more before holding his hand out. "Dave Strider, So you're the kid who skipped a grade?" He said with a smirk. I looked at his hand and shook it. "Karkat Vantas, and I'm not a Kid." I growled the last part. His smirk widened. Don't, please don't. DON'T DO IT! I thought squinting my eyes. "So Kitkat, what classes do you have?" HE DID IT! I huffed. "My name is not Kitkat, it's Karkat. And that's none of you're business." I muttered before turning back to my book. I could tell he was staring at me. Then out of no where he snatched my hat. I growled. "So the rumors are true." he said pointing to my horns. "you are the first troll to go to this school he said with a smirk. "Give it back Fuckass." I snarled. "But these are so cool." he said pointing at my horns again. "I don't giv-" before I could finish my sentence he grabbed my horn. I blushed madly and slapped his hand. It left a deep red mark and he was clearly confused. I sat my knees hiding my flushed face. "J-just give it b-back, p-please." I stuttered holding my hand out. He handed me my hat still confused. I sat in silence with him for some reason. "Uhh, i'm sorry for um touching you're horns." he said still confused. I just nodded. The bus turned the corner and slowed to a stop. I grabbed my bag my face still had a pink tint. I sat down in an empty seat Dave followed behind me and sat next to me. "The Fuck!?" I asked. "You don't want to sit next to the wrong people." He explained. I nodded and stared out the window putting my earbuds in.
TIME SKIP (What? You want me to explain how fast the bus was going? How many speed bumps they hit? How many dogs pissing on fire hydrants they saw? Nope! XD)
I got off the bus and was dragged by Dave to his "Friends" I could only stand a few some more than others. Eggbert was one of Dave's friends that are in his group. I don't care for friends but i'd at least like to know where I stand. The bell rang signalling me to go to class. I looked at my schedule then walked down the hall way to my class. "So, it should be this. . .one" I said making my way to the door. I walked in greeted by faces of many strangers. Bad greeting, I don't particularly like people. I tried to avoid getting noticed by the teacher. I slowly made my way to a chair half way down the row. "Umm, I believe you are the new student?" I hear her call. "Dammit." I mutter under my breath before turning and nodding. Everyone was looking. "Would you like to come up and introduce yourself." She said more like a statement than a Question. I got nervous and walked back up the aisle. I could see that everyone was taller than e even if they were sitting. I sighed. "My name is Karkat Vantas, I'm 16 years old, I skipped a grade and I-i'm a Troll. Apparently the first one in this school." I stuttered the last part. Everyone looked at me. I felt embarrassed. "Uh, can I sit down?" I asked the teacher. She nodded but then pointed to a different seat. I followed where she had pointed and saw that I was sitting by- S-strider!? I gulped before walking over to the desk I sat and turned to see him with a smug look on his face. Augh, this is gonna be a long day. I thought while taking out My paper and pencil. I jotted down every word she said from the beginning to the end of Class. I walked out of class and Strider tugged my arm. "Hey Kitkat, I noticed that you wrote down everything that woman said. Is that how you made it a grade ahead?" He asked. "Yes and No." I began. He looked at me with that confused face again. "You see, there is no being smart in school. There's remembering things and paying attention." I said. "Saying you're smart is like saying "I can remember stuff people taught me"." I continued. "The rest is paying attention and Common sense." I finished. He nodded. "Oh and Kitkat, here." he said handing me a piece of paper. "Is this you're phone number!?" I asked face flushed. He smirked. "No, but you can have that too." I opened the paper. "You have Pesterchum?" he asked. "Yeah" I answered.
TIME SKIP (Cause it's 2:31 in the morning and i'm tired, but ya'know if you start you gotta finish)
I got home after a long day of school and I flopped into my couch falling asleep in minutes.
(Gotta end it here cause i'm tired AF and I need sleep I'll update soon, maybe make a schedule. Like to Updates a week? That'll do. Maybe three? IDK we'll see)
