|| Goth's P.O.V ||

(I'm not in my high school, yet. So I apologize if I get information wrong! ON W ITH THE STORY.)

It's the first day school. High School to make it worse. And I thought middle school was hard enough. I already chose my classes, and getting my schedule today. Uhhhggggg.

I'm wearing a black hoodie, having my hood up, as always. My bloody red scarf that mom had made me. Basketball shorts. And gray sneakers.

I'm still at home, with my parents, and grabbing my backpack now. "Bye mom! Bye dad!" I yelled before I exited my house. "Bye Goth! Have a good day at school!" Mom and dad yelled back simultaneously.

As I walked to the bus, I saw a crowd of students, and SELENA? If she was here, then. Palette might be here. I pulled my hood farther down my head, so no one would really notice me. I stood behind everyone, and waited my turn to sit on the bus. But the bad thing about being last was, you have last pick of a seat. And if you're in my position, you have to sit next to a person you don't know. Being an introvert didn't help.

But lucky for me, the bus wasn't full yet, so I just took the seat that was empty at the very front of the bus and looked outside. Occasionally taking pictures of the morning sky.

|| At school ||

I was the first to get off the bus, and went to my counselor for my schedule. On the way there, a monster from Palette's group from what I remember three years ago said, "Hey shorty!" In such a mocking tone. It didn't bother me. I was already used to that name. And so, I kept walking. I heard footsteps behind me, getting louder and louder. I tried to play it cool, even though I was panicking on the inside, and walked a bit faster. The footsteps behind me, got faster as well.

I swiftly turned around and used my weak telekinesis and picked him up, and pushed him a good ten feet away. And oh boy. He and is group looked hella angry, so I teleported away to my counselor.

|| One class period later ||

Math was simple. It mostly review, and I think I'm getting better at math, but English and history were more of my thing. I also met Frisk and Chara. Two female freshmen here. We all have a lot in common, and they invited me to sit with them at lunch later today, since we have similar schedules. I happily agreed.

We all had English as the next period, and so we all walked there.

|| This is getting boring so time skip to lunchhhhhh ||

I walked to the cafeteria and looked around to find Frisk and Chara, and when I spotted them, they were waving like crazy at me, with huge smiles. I waved and smiled back. And started to walk to the duo. As I sat down, Frisk started a conversation.

"Hi Goth! Do you like English? I do!" "I don't. English ain't my thing. It's more of math!" Chara responded. "I'm more of an English and history person-"  "AY. PALETTE OVER HERE!" I was cut off, Palette is here?! I pulled up my hood and looked at the entrance of the cafeteria, and there he was, with Selena holding his hand. Only a few people looked at Palette, since the cafeteria is so loud, barely anyone heard that monster scream. One look at him, I felt that warm and tight feeling in my chest, and I'm sure my face exploded in purple. "Aww, does Goth have a crush~?" Chara asked.

I ignored her, and pulled my hood farther down, and put my head and my arms, looking like I fell asleep or was crying and I tried to control my breathing. I'm happy to see him, but dresses and acts like a jerk. And he dating a girl... I'm so angry and sad. Before I knew it, I started cry. I think Frisk and Chara took a notice and came to my side immediately.

Frisk hugged me, and Chara pat my back. And I could've sworn, I heard Palette scoff. I was right.

"Huh. Who is this crybaby?" Palette had said in a mocking tone. If it was anyone who had that to me, I wouldn't have taken it so hard, but it hurt so much to hear Palette say that to me. I chocked back a sob. "Uhhg! Whatever, she's probably crying since she doesn't have you!" Selena said. I felt like I've been crushed my a hammer.

"Excuse me?!" Chara yelled. "HE, IS NOT, A SHE. Now, GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE." Lucky, no monster or human noticed our little fight, since the cafeteria stayed at the same loud volume.

I lifted my head, and wiped my tears away, but they kept coming, so I looked up, and put my arm over my eye sockets. (For some reason, this kinda helps me.) ".... Selena. Go to the table." Palette said in a bit of a demanding tone. "I'll meet you there. Lemme talk to this guy." He must have noticed who I was. "What?! You just made him cry! What the fuck are ya gunna say?!" Chara yelled. "Shut up." Palette said.

"Goth..?"
"Le-Leave me alone. You... You sa-said we weren't fr-friends anymore."
"I never said tha-" "Yo-You sure ac-acted like it."
"Meet me at the court after school today."

I slightly moved arm of see could see Palette, but he was walking away. "Are you really going to listen to that jerk?" Chara said. "Chara!" Frisk slightly yelled. "Ye-Yeah. He wa-was my childhood friend..."
