(You are 14 just a heads up) (Humanstuck)

You wake up from a terrible night's sleep. You had just moved and your mother was already back to her old habits. Your mother was being a total idiot last night with a bunch of her friends. You really like her friends because they get her home safe very night after she's been drinking too much and they stay to at least try to keep her quiet so you can sleep. But last night was a little different. A few of them were drunk as well so they were up all night doing stupid things. You go downstairs to examine the mess created by the group of irresponsible adults. Your mother is passed out on the couch with her best friend sleeping on the table. Next to them is their most responsible friend, Kathryn. She is awake and is sitting in a chair flipping through the channels on the TV. Kathryn is more of a mother to you than your real one is since she usually ends up driving you to and from school when your mother is drunk or has a hangover, she also spends a lot of time with you when you mother is at work. Your mother isn't that bad of a person, or at least you try to convince yourself of that. Kathryn waves at you and puts the remote down. Kathryn is just a few years older than you (5 years to be exact). She smiles at you then steps over to you.

"Hello, (your name). Sorry about the mess and the noise last night" she says quietly as to not disturb your mother and her other friends. You examine the room more really quickly and see that there are a few other friends scattered around the room but only Kathryn is awake.

"Hello, Kathryn. And it's fine, I wouldn't have gotten much sleep anyways" you admit in a cold tone remembering all your experiences with mild insomnia.

"Still having trouble sleeping?" she asks you and her smile becomes more sympathetic than apologetic.

"Yeah, but I'm sure it will get better" you lie. You're been dealing with this ever since your dad died and it hasn't gotten much better

"Here, I'll make you breakfast" She says and leads you to the kitchen. She may be young, but she is extremely mature for her age. You sit in a chair and pull your phone out. You check your messages and see you have one from your best friend (Rose) and your crush (Dave). You've never met them in person but you are really close with them. And also you have two friends, Jade and John. Anyways, you check Rose's message first.

You are SadisticKitten

TT: I heard from Jade that you like Dave.

TT: How could you fall for him?

TT: I know you're smarter than that

SK: You're joking, right?

TT: OF COURSE I'M JOKING! I wouldn't trust any other guys with you besides John and Dave.

SK: Oh good. And why did she tell you?

TT: Because she knows you trust me

SK: Ok, well I'm going to go talk to Dave now.

TT: CONFESS YOUR LOVE!

TT: No wait, make him guess

TT: Have a sloppy make-out!

SK: You're ridiculous

SK: And I don't know where he lives!

TT: Oh yeah, hehe.

TT: TTYl!

You close out of that chat and open the window that show's Dave's messages.

TG: Hey (your name)

TG: Wake up

TG: HEEEEEEY!

TG: Wake the fuck up before I hunt you down and wake you up myself

TG: And it would be very stalkerish and unironic.

TG: So unironic that I would never have a chance at being cool ever again.

SK: Ok, ok I'm up!

TG: Good

SK: What do you need to tell me?

TG: What, a dude can't just chill with a friend?

SK: You just wanna talk?

TG: Of course I do, how else would we communicate? Do you want me to learn sign language or some shit?

SK: Awe, you would do that for me?

TG: Not unless you're a fucking deaf or mute.

TG: Oh my god

TG: Are you deaf or mute, because if you are then I am so sorry

SK: What?

SK: No I'm not deaf or mute

TG: Then why do you want me to learn sign language?

SK: As I recall you brought that up Mr. Cool-kid!

TG: Lame

SK: Oh shut up.

TG: Anyways, did you check your mail before you moved?

SK: Yeah, I got a package from you but I didn't open it yet.

TG: Go open it! It's special.

SK: Ok, brb I guess.

You put your phone down and look over to Kathryn who is making you French toast and bacon. You quickly run back to your room and look in your closet. You pull out a small package and run your hand down the side looking for a place to open it. Your fingers catch on the edge of cardboard and you open the box. Inside there is a note and a smaller box. You open the note and read it:

I know that my gift is a week late, but this is your birthday present. I wanted you to have this before you moved since I still don't know where you're moving to.

—Dave

You open the box and see a custom made charm bracelet. You take it out of the box and see it has 8 charms (A/N: the 8 charms are the 8 symbols of the beta/alpha kids) you look at the scratched record charm and smile. You slip the bracelet onto your wrist and run down the stairs and sit back down. You pick your phone back up and message Dave.

SK: Dave, it's amazing! I love it

TG: Knew you would. I couldn't let John, Rose, or Jade get you something better than my gift so I had to make it something special.

SK: Thank you so much

TG: No prob. Well I got to go. I'll talk to you later

You put your phone down and look up at Kathryn who just finished. She puts a plate down on the table and sits across from you with her own plate.

"Thank you, Kathryn!" you say and she smiles.

"No problem. It's Sunday so make sure you get your homework done. I'll drive you to school tomorrow." she says and you groan.

"I hate changing in the middle of the year." you say as you finish chewing

"Yeah, I know but at least your still close enough to my house for me to drive you." she says and a smile pulls at her lips.

"Yeah, thanks" you say and return a smile.

"Yeah don't mention it, HOLY CRAP I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK!" she says and springs out of her seat. She rushes to the door and puts on her shoes and grabs her jacket since its winter.

"Drive safe!" you yell to her as she leaves. You finish eating and put your plate in the sink. You go back to the living room and see everyone is starting to wake up and you would rather not be here for that. You go to your room and pull on a (favorite color) shirt and black skinny jeans. You then put on a warm (second favorite color) jacket and grab your house keys. You grab about 20 bucks since you haven't figured out exactly what you're going to do yet. You run out the door and lock it behind you. You walk down the sidewalk until you come across a Starbucks and you walk inside. There are only a few people inside so you don't have to wait before ordering.

"Can I have a (favorite coffee drink)?" you ask the lady at the counter and buy your drink. You sit down at a table and pull out your phone to message rose.

SK: Hey rose you there?

SK: Roooooooose!

SK: Oh, well talk to you later.

You scroll down your contact list and go to John's name.

SK: Sup john?

EB: Oh hi (your name) how are you?

SK: Fine. My mother came home wasted again last night so I didn't get much sleep.

EB: Oh no D:

SK: Yeah, but its fine. I have a reason to lock myself in my bedroom tonight and that reason is homework.

EB: I thought you were changing schools O_o

SK: I am, but since I am out for a little while the school sent me a packet so I wouldn't be lazy over the time I am out of school. I start tomorrow.

EB: Ah, well that's good if it's an excuse I guess.

SK: Yeah. I just hope that my mother will be at work when I get back.

EB: Huh. Well I need to go do my own homework so I'll talk to you after school tomorrow.

SK: Bye, John

You put your phone away and go to stand up. You turn around and bump into a girl with long black hair and look at her.

"I am so sorry!" you exclaim. You realize you just dumped your drink all over yourself. The girl seemed pissed. Her eyes are dark blue and they glare down at you and her lips that have a blue tinted lip-gloss pull into a frown. You barely have time to examine her but you see that she has a grey jacket over a black shirt with a blue Scorpio symbol on it.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" she yells at you. You flinch at her yelling and decide it's not a good idea to stay. You shove your phone in your pocket and run out the door. You run down the sidewalk until you reach your house since now that you are wearing your coffee you are freezing. You are delighted to see that everyone is gone so you to your room and pull out a plain black shirt and pull it on. You go over to your desk and pull out your work. Hopefully boring homework will distract you from wanting to punch someone in the face. You apologize and it's not like you got your coffee on her, only yourself. You shake your head in disbelief as you sink into a boring world of geometry, history, physics, and poetry. You have a lot of homework so you basically waste the rest of the day on it. You check your phone once you finish and see that it's 9:00. You haven't even eaten dinner yet! You might as well go out for something but hopefully it will go better than your last venture out. It's bad enough that the girl will probably be at your new school. But it's a big school, you might never see her again

You grab your money and phone and put both into your pockets. Kathryn usually leaves you with a little cash for the days that your mom isn't home (which is quite often) since you are a terrible cook. You grab your keys and go out the door again. You go down the same sidewalk and pass the Starbucks again. You are pleased to see that there is a small diner just passed that and you step inside and sit at a table. A waitress walks over to you and hands you a menu with a smile. You look over the menu and pick (favorite food). You order (favorite drink) and your (favorite food) and wait for the waitress. She soon brings you your drink and you sit alone as you sip on your drink. You get a message from Jade and you pull your phone out.

GG: Hey, (your name) I hope you're not upset about me talking Rose about your crush.

SK: oh, it's fine! I trust her and I know you didn't do it to be mean.

GG: ok, just wanted to make sure. It's getting kind of late and grandpa wants me to go to sleep so I'll talk to you tomorrow after school

SK: k, bye.

You check your phone and see that it's 10:00. You need to get to sleep soon as well! Just then the waitress comes to you with your food. So you eat quickly and leave the money for the meal along with as generous of a tip as you can afford. You run home in a hurry and by the time you get home it's only 10:15 so you take your time to shower and pull on a pair of shorts and a tank top to sleep in. You crawl into your bed and set your alarm. You lie in bed for a while due to your mild insomnia but eventually fall asleep. When you awaken to a soft buzzing you turn off your alarm and go down stairs to get ready and see Kathryn is already sitting in your living room waiting for you. (Your mom just gave her a key knowing how often she comes over) you see your mother asleep on the couch again and roll your eyes. You put frozen waffles in the toaster for you to eat on your way out and run up the stairs again to get dressed. You go into your room and look in your closet. You pull out a different pair of black skinny jeans, a (favorite color) shirt, and your favorite jacket. You change into your clothes and run to your bathroom. You brush out your (hair length and color) hair and style it into the best looking ponytail you can manage and then pull out a few makeup products from your drawer. You put on a perfect line of liquid eyeliner with tremendous amount of effort and then put on mascara. You then apply a very small amount of (favorite color) eye shadow and put the products away. You don't wear much makeup unlike most girls but you will wear some. You pack you backpack and sling it over your shoulder then put on your favorite pair of shoes. You go down the stairs and grab your waffles then walk to the door.

"You ready?" Kathryn asks.

"Yeah" you say and make sure you have everything you need. You both walk out to her car and get in. You arrive at the school about 10 minutes before it begins so you can try to find your classes.

"Bye (your name)! See you after school" Kathryn calls before driving away. You wave and then go into the building. The high school is a lot smaller than you expected but you at least don't have to walk around very long before you find your locker. You put in the combination that was given to you and then stuff you backpack into your locker. Just then you see a girl walk over to you. She opens her locker and looks at you.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me" she says. You look at her and almost groan in disappointment. It's the girl you bumped into yesterday. Before you can say anything she grabs her book out of her locker, slams her locker door, and walks to class. You hear a laugh from behind you and turn to see a short girl with short black hair. She has on a blue cat hat, green jacket, a black shirt and jeans. She smiles at you before closing her locker.

"Don't take it personally, she's mean to a lot of people" the girl says. "My name is Nepeta by the way." she adds.

"Hi, I'm (your name)" you say back to her with a smile.

"You're new aren't you? I can show you to your classes I know where everything is!" she says.

"That would be great. thanks"
