I continue to draw in my notebook ignoring all the words that are coming out of my teachers mouth. I look down at the stupid string that hangs from my finger.
I've never understood the point of having the dumbass things. Most people in my grade have already found their soulmate if they've been in the school or somewhere around town. I get bullied by most trolls sometimes humans for not finding my soulmate yet...
If I'm being honest even though I have the string... it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't have a soulmate... or even if I did I'd doubt they'd want to stay with me anyways, they'd probably just cut the string off. I'm a waste of total breath. My stupid mutant blood color, I only get in the way, and people tell me all the time I should just go kill myself.
I've thought about it... no one would miss me...
I've already set up the date, this Friday. I feel like I can't take the way I feel anymore. Going day to day knowing I'm a nobody and not cared for. Cutting myself constantly. Sometimes I wish my soulmate would come and save me, if they already didn't hate me that is.
I let out a long sigh as the bell rang. I stood up throwing my things into my backpack and walking out into the hallways.
While heading to my locker I'm tripped to the floor by one of my common day bullies; Eridan Empora.
I start to pick up my things as he kicks me to the lockers and I let out a grunt.
"Don't even try to struggle you useless piece of shit. Stay on the ground with the trash where you belong, or just go kill yourself already."
I keep my eyes to the ground while gripping onto my sleeves tightly holding back tears I know aren't capable of falling down anymore. Eridan walks away with his group of so called 'friends' before I stand back up.
I grab my bag and head to the boys restroom not giving two shits that the bell already rang.
Entering the bathroom I double checked to make sure it was empty before placing my bag into the slightly wet sink pulling out my razor blade.
I slowly pull up my sleeve viewing old and recent scars.
"To think... it's only Wednesday and you're at it again... I'm so worthless..."
I slowly drag the cold blade across part of my skin feeling trickles if blood run down my wrist. I repeat this process a few more times before hearing the bathroom door open....

Wednesday... not one of my favorite days of the week but it lets me know the weekend is approaching.
I sit throughout my class looking at the teacher taking notes every once and awhile sometimes flirting with the people around me.
Yea sure, I guess I'm still slightly new to the school. I just joined last week. But it seems people already enjoy my company seeing me fit as the 'popular hipster'.
It seems ever since I moved down here and attending school my string as been growing longer. I've tried looking for my soulmate before... hoping they may be attending this school. I've had no luck so far.
I've taken no interest in dating people. It was always my moms dream that I'd find my soulmate and be happy... the dream she didn't get to fulfill before she-...
The loud bell interrupts my thoughts people around me begin to stand and exit the classroom. I follow behind them roaming into the halls. As I approach my locker I notice some troll kid kicking some other kind of cute troll to the ground... wait what... uh... did I just think that..?
As I prepare to walk up and kick that trolls ass for picking on the other guy he quickly walks away and the other smaller troll heads in the other direction to one of the bathrooms.
I walk up to the weird cape wearing troll....
"Uhhh excuse me." I say sounding extremely annoyed
"Wwhat the fuck do you wwant"
"Why on earth were you picking on that smaller troll over there you ass?"
"Oh karkat.? Because he's a good for nothing loser."
I was beyond pissed. I don't deal with bullying well. I punched this guy across the face causing him to fall to the ground before I quickly walk away heading to the bathroom the one troll supposedly named Karkat entered.

As I heard the door being pushed open I pulled my sleeve down extremely quickly and threw my blade into my bag
"~nhp fuck..." I say quietly from the pain coming from my wrist because I didn't have the time to wrap something around it.
I look up to the door and tried to make it look like I was washing my hands and saw a tall blonde kid around my age with shades on enter the bathroom.
I don't know what it was but my heart sped up. It was something I've never felt before...
"Um are you... Karkat..?" I felt my face warm up quickly as I nodded.
His eyes fell down to my hand and I grew nervous wondering if he could possibly see blood.
"What the ever loving fuck are you looking- "
My eyes fall down to his hand and I see his string attached to one of his fingers glowing a bright red and the my eyes fell to my hand as mine did the same and the two connected...
"Holyfuckyour-"
"My soulmate..." he finished my sentence for me as I lift my hands to my mouth feelings as if they is a joke of some kind
I take a closer look at the blonde slightly moving forward as does he, observing me also.
I️ take notice of his shades which cover his eyes completely and his blonde hair which sat perfectly on his face and he was around 4-5 inches taller then me and how his lips sat softly and perfectly on his face...
"Um... Dave Strider... dear god... I never thought I would find you... nor did I think you would look this..."
"Trashy..? Ugly, hideous, stupid, or idiotic? Hah I get those a lot..."
"Well if we're asking my opinion I was going more towards... perfect... the way you black hair looks so fluffy and just randomly pops out of your head, your perfect toned grey skin that looks so delicate, the adorable freckles that dance across your face as some kind of star dust, your light grey eyes, your cute and adorable small figure, or your perfect lips that are extremely tempting to just..."
My face turns a bright candy red.... no ones ever complimented me like that before...
"Wait... ok... so first I see that jackass in the hall beating on you and at first it bother me because it flat out wasn't right but now I found out you're my soulmate too? Oh boy that fucking douche sure is gonna get it."
"No no no no it's fineee!! Hahhh really! I'm used to it by now..." I say lifting my hand up quickly putting it down noticing the blood.
I see Dave glance down at my hand and he instantly becomes worried...
"Wait what happened did he do that to you..?"
I quickly pull my hand away dodging eye contact... you just met your soulmate, don't make him hate you already...
