Drifting Away

[Your POV] (Slight time skip)

Friday, later that week, I'm walking down the halls. My hood is pulled over my eyes and I'm blaring my music in my ears when Rose pulls me aside. A look of worry and concern is clearly showing. She doesn't know what happened on Monday.

"Hey..." she starts, "Do you want to come over to my house this weekend? I've noticed something has been up. I just want to be there if you need someone to talk to. Okay?"

"Umm, I think I have homework..." I trail off. "Maybe next weekend?"

I smile at her then turn away, resuming to go to my next class.

Last class of the day: Advanced Drawing. I'm glad to have this class. It helps me ease my mind. And, no matter the day, Karkat is there. I look over at him, tapping my pencil ever so slightly on the paper, trying to figure out what is going through his mind. I decide to write a note and pass it his way. When he receives it, he furrows his brow.

Karkat,

I think we should should talk about what happened last week. Also, I'd like to get to know you better. If that's okay with you?

I look up at him with a hopeful smile and he nods. I'm glad he found me.
