There and Back Again {On Hold}

forgotten

Karkat's POV:

I was finally getting a good night rest when I hear my alarm on my phone go off, waking me up. I sat up groggily and turned It off.
I just sat upright that is until something soft hits me in the side of the head.

I look over to the door and none other then pillow thrower 413 is standing in my doorway.
John was giggling like a little girl.
"John I was awake..." I said.
"I know! I just wanted to make sure you actually woke up." He giggled.
"John we are in high school now! Not to mention you'll be 16 in April, grow the fuck up..." I yelled at him.
He gave me a pouty look. "Ever since dave showed up this summer, you've been a real downer..you know that..?"
"Well a lot has happened this summer...my former crush had came back and I thought he was gonna reject me hard, I get taken away from the only home I know for about two weeks, then the last person that's directly related to me dies!and then my boyfriend leaves to go back home! Of course I'm down!" I practically scream at john.
He backed out of my room slowly.

I felt bad about yelling at him.
I creped out of my room and look in his without him noticing. He was packing things in his book bag and humming a song he made up. He reminded me of a small child putting their toys away. "J-john..." I mumbled.
He whipped around. "Oh hey karkat! I didn't see you there..." He said cheerfully.
I looked at the ground.
"Hey you OK?" He asked, His face dropping a bit.
I walked over to him.
"Hey what are you-"
I rapped my arms around him.
"I'm sorry.."
"Sorry for what?" He asked.
"For yelling at you..." I mumbled.
He stopped hugging me. "Its OK...I know your under a lot of stress and stuff...it was wrong of me to act childish instead of helping you..." He said.
"Now come on" he smiled. "Let's have the best first day of high school ever!"
I looked down at the record shirt dave gave me before he left. "I think I have to get dressed first." I chuckled.

I walked back into my room and threw on a red shirt, and a band hoodie that said "welcome to the black parade" and a pair of skinny jeans and converse. Here lately I've been going for the emo look. Just without makeup and black hair.

I grabbed my brown backpack and laptop case and walked downstairs.
John was standing by the door in a teal hoodie. He was playing with one of the strings on it.
"You ready?" I asked.
He looked up. "Oh yeah! Come on!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door, and we walked up to the bus stop.

Soon we were at school and we walked into the office for our schedules.

I had only two classes with john, one with rose and three with jade, and kanaya. Well looks like its my chance to make new friends. Our circle needs to be bigger anyway.
Ever since dave came and left our circle seems to be falling apart. Jade's grandpa got put in a nursing home so she's always there with him, and rose is always hanging out with kanaya. Its usually just me and john most of the time now.
And me being the socially awkward bimbo I am, I need new friends, bad.

Me and john were walking to our first period when a girl with chestnut colored hair runs smack dab into john, which causes him to fall over.
"Hey! Watch where the hell your going!" He yelled at her.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't see you!"
I knew that voice, but who did it belong to?
"How could you not see me right in front of you?!" John yelled again.
"I'm blind asshole!" She yelled back at him.
She poked him with her cane she had.

Now I knew her!

"Terezi?" I asked.
"Karkle?"

It is her! "Terezi!!!" I screamed. I hugged her and she hugged back.
"How did you get here?" I asked.
"A couple months after you left I got adopted into a family in Florida! Then we moved down here this summer!" She smiled at me.
"That's great rezi!" I yelled.
"Wait, you guys know each other?!" Said john.
"Yeah!" She said. "We were best friends in the orphanage!"
John looked pissed but I shrugged it off.

Me and terezi checked our schedules and turns out I had almost all classes with her.

We all walked to first period together. Me and terezi shared our stories about our familys and I learned that Sol was adopted before her. She made a couple new friends after we both left then she got adopted. It was really good to catch up with her again.

For a little while, I forgot all about dave
