"Hey. Is this spot taken?" A boy asked, shaking me.

I soon realized I was on the school bus and had fallen asleep.

Someone started to whisper to him, "Psss! Dude! Come over here! Leave that monster boy alone!"

"No," He refused, "Is this spot taken?"

"No..." I whispered.

He frowned, "I can't hear you."

"This spot isn't taken." I sighed.

He smiled, "Would you mind if I sit here?"

"No." I admitted.

He smiled and sat down, "Hey... why is nobody near you? You seem nice, for a monster."

"I can show you why..." I frowned.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

I opened my backpack, and let him see the broken crown inside. He looked surprised.

"Why do you have a crown in your backpack? Much less, a broken one? Is it a fake?" He asked.

I shook my head, "It's not fake, and it's mine. A little girl named Alice tried to take it from me to play 'Princess'."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT FAKE?!" He shrieked, "WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE IT?!"

I sighed, "It doesn't matter. I'm Asriel Dreemurr, by the way. Who are you?"

"I'm Jordan. Nice to meet you. You're the first monster I've seen. You seem pretty nice. Are all the monsters nice?" He asked.

I nodded, "They are. Especially my mom."

"You're mom is the nicest? Why do you say that?" He started to laugh.

I smiled, "She really is. She's so kind, sweet, and caring. Besides, she makes amazing pies."

"What kind of pies?" He asked.

I grinned, "Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie and Snail Pie."

"Snail Pie?! Eww..." He made a gross face, "You eat snails?"

I giggled, "Yeah! Why?"

"Humans don't eat snails..." He mumbled.

I frowned, "I guess that's why you are disgusted."

"Oh. I'm sorry, Asriel. I didn't mean to offend you, it's just... normal people doesn't eat snails." He smiled.

I sighed, "It doesn't matter."

"Why do you eat snails, monster boy? What did snails ever do to you?" He laughed.

A different human growled at him and put a knife at his neck, "Are you bullying my brother?"

I couldn't see what they looked like, and I didn't really recognize the voice either.

"What? Do you eat snails? That's so dumb! Nobody eats snails! You monsters will never be accepted into society!" He shouted.

The human growled, "Do you realize you are bullying the prince of the monsters? I'm pretty sure all the other monsters would be mad if they find out you've been bullying their future king."

"N-no... d-don't tell a-any of the m-monsters! P-please! Give m-mercy on me!" He screamed.

The human smiled, "It's Asriel's choice, not mine. Asriel, brother, should I fight or spare?"

"Spare..." I whispered.

The human groaned, "Of course you say that... fine."

They released the knife and the boy breathed really hard. Somehow, nobody had noticed what had happened.

The boy sat down next to me, and I realized who was helping me. Chara.

"Ch-chara?! W-what are you doing here?!" I shouted.

Everyone else started whispering.

"The prince of the monsters knows that FREAK?! How?!"

"What?!"

"Who's Chara?"

Chara smiled at the person who asked who they were, "I am Chara. The FIRST human who fell down Mt. Ebott and the adopted sibling of Prince Asriel Dreemurr."
