Popular/unpopular. Karkat Vantas has been homeschooled by his brother Kankri. He got tired of all the lecturing and decided to enroll into a high school as a seniors with straight A's. As a 5ft troll Karkat doesn't exactly fit in. In size and popularity. On the other hand Dave Strider is considered the most popular kid in school. Which he is. He's had pretty good grades and a better social status then you or, anyone to be exact. He's always getting flirted on and has had multiple girlfriends. All of which he broke up with because they all were gold diggers. They see each other in the hall and don't really talk until they're put into an uncomfortable spot.
