In love with my assassin

New school new worry

Dave's pov.

Today is the day! TODAY I'M STARTING AT A NEW SCHOOL! Because writing 'Suck a dick' on a bathroom stall gets you expelled, lame!! Bro forced me to go to this lame school called 'Alternian High'. Isn't that the name of the planet the trolls came from? Like I said before, lame! I grab my shades and didn't bother to eat breakfast, I rarely eat in fact. I found out a few days before Rose has been going there and has made a few troll friends, I think a girlfriend too. We decided to walk together since it was two blocks away. "So" she started up, "excited?" I looked over at her and took my shades off showing her my glaring eyes. I got a laugh in response as I put my shades back on.

"I can't believe why I have to go to this lame ass school in the first place!"

"Well, first off, David, you wrote 'suck a dick' in the boys AND girls bathroom, so I think that is a good way to get kicked out of school"

"But, it isn't even that bad!! Someone punched someone in the gut and all they got was suspended!"

"Yes, but you have done multiple things that would have costed you to get suspended or expelled but you never got that treatment until now."

"Oh yeah?! Name five."

"First off, writing 'suck a dick', moaning loudly in the girls bathroom when another girl was in there, kicking another guy in the dick, pouring flour on a teacher when you were in the vents, and then spray painted 'GAY' on a teachers car. The list goes on and on" I was in utter shock that she knew all of these, mainly the second one but I'm not going to ask her how she knows, it will get awkward quickly.

A few minutes of nothing but silence later we finally arrived at school. I didn't need to go to my locker because I'm not going to spend eighty minutes trying to find the damn thing. I looked at my schedule to see what class I was going to die in first, Kids running to their friends, escaping fights, reading, or doing homework that's a month late. But one kid stood out to me, Karkat, my fromal target, all alone, in the corner, head down, was he... crying? I walk over to him and put my hand on his shoulder like how a parent would to their kid. He looked up at me with tears streaming down his face. He was in fact crying. I decided to speak up instead of leaving him shivering and confused under me. "Yo dude, what's wrong?" smooth Strider. I mentally kick myself at the stupidity of my words.

"I... I" He started to cry harder. I grabbed his hand, stormed out the classroom with weird looks as we ran by and into the boys bathroom. Making sure no one was in there before locking the main door.

I slammed my hands on either side of him causing him to jump a little. "Now, what. Is. Wrong?" He took a deep breath as he tries to calm down, failing his mission. He grabs onto my torso, pulls me closer, and he cries harder into my shirt. Did I scare him? I fucked up didn't I? "Shhh, it's okay" I didn't want to hurt him if I did. "Hey man, deep breaths, breathe." He shakenly started to do as I said, he took I believe five or six deep breaths before he finally calmed down. "Now, what's wrong?" (Personal stuff ahead. If you are sensitive to parents divorcing then skip ahead to the next chapter around the start / middle)

"W... well, my dad and my m-m-mother, well step mother if you will, are getting a di--" he was about to cry again. I knew what he was about to say so I had to cut him off.

"It's okay dude, it happens sometimes. They will both most likely be happier this way." Like that was much help. He didn't but he was in pain. I could see it. The late bell had rang. Hall sweep would be going through. My teacher does hall sweep I think.... "Wanna go see the counselor? " He looked unsure of what to say.

"I-if you go.... Then I would be fine" I nodded as I unlocked the main door and we head out looking for a teacher to explain this to.

"HEY! You two! Come with me!" I looked over at Karkat and he seemed scared, We walk over to the teacher who is yelling at us. "Look kid, I know you're new and I don't know what you old school was like but here we have three bells. One to go to your next class, one minute bell, and a tardy bell." I nodded waiting for her to proceed. "And Karkat, you know the rules." I decided this was my time to speak up. I opened my mouth but Karkat spoke up instead, his voice still shaky.

"Mrs. Snowman. I a-apologize but I was c-crying and having a breakd-down and Dave here was helping me. We were wondering if we can get a pass to see Ms. Paint?" She sighed, obviously annoyed, then nodded. She rose up her hand, put her ring and middle finger in the air and moved them both signaling for us to follow.
