I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock singing Starships by Nicki Minaj. I pushed the green comforter off of me, swinging my legs off the bed. Ugh, school. The c to lock read 6:15, 45 minutes till I have to catch the bus. I began unbraiding my hair, throwing the hair ties all over my room. The wavy, brown strands of hair falling to my shoulders. I slid over to my tall dresser, dragging my long purple pajama pants. I took out a pair of neon red shorts, and a white and grey striped shirt. I changed into the shorts, then the shirt. I went to my bathroom and put on black eye-liner, pale brown eyeshadow, and black mascara. I ran a brush through my hair, making sure the waves stayed. I brushed down my bangs, then hairsprayed them with my BIGSEXYHAIR tease in a bottle. I burshed my teeth, then grabbed my bakcpack, red aviaters, and my red vans.I went to my parents room, said goodbye, then went downstairs and grabbed a bottle of Faygo as I ran out the door.
I walked up the road towards the bus stop, putting my shades over my eyes. I noticed someone already at the stop. a boy, blonde, with black jeans and a quarter sleeved red and white shirt. He had red converse, and aviaters over his eyes.
"Um, hi!" I said as I walked up to him, taking my shades and putting them on top of my head. Holy shit this guy looks familiar.
"Sup." is all he says, slinging his back pack to one shoulder as the bus arrived. By now the rest of the people at the stop had come. As usuall, I got on first, taking a seat near the back. The blonde boy looked around then took the seat across from me. I looked at him, then back at the window. He can't be. I put one of my head phones in, and started listening to music as the bus ride went on.
By the time we got to the school, Fossil Ridge High, I had already gone through 10 songs. Everyone filed off the bus and went into the lunch room. I went over to the post where my friends and I always meet.
"Hey Sarah!" my friend Melody called over.
"Hey Mel! Have... you seen the new kid?" I asked, pointing to the blonde boy, who was now standing with a few others, "Or... kids."
"Ya! Don't they look like... Oh my god Sarah, look." she said, pointing to the door.
A boy walked in. His skin was... grey and he had horns! Short, stubby horns. His hair was black and messy, nearly covering his eyes. He was wearing black jeans and a dark grey sweatshirt.
"Thats..."
"Karkat." Melody finished. He walked past us, keeping his head down. We continued to watch him until he got to a corner in the back of the cafeteria.
"Oh. My. God. Melody... What is this??" I laughed, throwing my hands in the air.
"Hey Sarah, I'd bet you anything that kid that came in with your bus is Dave Strider." said Mel as she smirked at me.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he was. Why don't we go say hi?" I asked at her hopefully. Melody adn i were both huge fans of Homestuck. It took me a while to get her to read it, but when she did she absolutely fell in love with it. Dave was our favorite. We knew one of his raps by heart. Melody liked to twist the words every once and a while.
