Chapter Text
You opened the door exiting the building in which you call school. Woodside High to be exact. It was a large building with lockers aligned the wall of each of the two floors. The tile was generically white (besides the maroon and black tiles in the front area to make up your schools mascots head, the wild cat). The outside of it was even more cliche. It had the pool lanes for the cars and buses as well as few parking spots for some of the faculty members. The side walk were clean and the grass was green. The front doors of which you were holding were made of glass and metal that met with the bricks of the outside roof.
You sighed a heavy breath, today had been a long day. With the biology report coming up, the book you had to read for English, the new French vocabulary words you had to learn, and you cramming for your big algebra II test, your brain had been fried after only the third period. But you didn't mind, it kept you busy once you finish eating at lunch. You mostly ate alone, well besides your books that it is. If you weren't studying or doing homework, you would be found with a novel in hand and you staring intensely at its pages. Afterall books were your only company on a daily bases. That, music, and my laptop. What more could a girl ever need? You silently asked yourself as your hand clutched the straps of your old faithful backpack. You had that thing since eighth grade and had become very attached to it.
Passing the school building the scenery quickly changed to more of a small town as you walked. Little shops and other buildings whirl passed you as you walked. You were tempted to enter a local coffee shop to get a cup of Joe, but you kept going ignoring your need of caffeine however good the smell was. The bus was only a few blocks from where you were and for that you were happy. You couldn't wait to tell your mom and dad you got an A on the pop qiuz in Ms. Welch's class (which was no small feat, her subject was tough for you and most of the class) and to finally relax in your room.
As you turn your into an alley way for a short cut you heard a familiar gruff voice. "Look at him guys, we found a fag. He's even wearing a scarf!" Liam, you deduced grumpily. Liam star athlete, school bully, and cheater on test. He's as stereotypical as it gets. Out of the corner of your view you saw Liam with his buddies surrounding him laughing at the victim you couldn't see. You rolled your eyes as you kept walking. It wasn't your place to butt in.
"DO YOU LIKE MY SCARF?", you heard someone ask. "MY BROTHER MADE IT FOR ME."
"Are you being smart with me", Liam sneered.
"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM VERY SMART! THANK YOU FOR NOTICING. NYEH HEH HEH!" I'm not sure if this is a tactic for Liam to leave him alone or he is really just too stupid to notice the threat of him and his gang hold. You shook your head at this thought, it wasn't your business. You were almost out of the Alley when you heard cry of pain. "OWIE, THAT HURT. WHY'D YOU DO THAT WAS IT AN ACCIDENT?" A wave of pity hit you as you stopped waiting at the exit. This isn't my problem so don't get involved. Don't get involved, don't get involved. Just go home and pretend I didn't hear or see anything. Stay out of this drama. Whatever I do I don't need to get involved. "PLEASE STOP HITTING ME, IT HURTS", the victims whimpered. Damnit I'm getting involved, you think as you race towards the trouble.
"Get off of him!", you screech as you pushed Liam away from whomever you were defending. As expected, Liam hadn't anticipated someone intervening. He stumbled backwards but not for too long. Being an althete gave him great balance. He then hovered over you his gray cold eyes piercing your gaze. His face was harsh and angry with a deep frown and burrowed eyebrows. He doesn't seem to like what you've down. He tensed his muscles as he gave you a venomous look. All three of his buddies copied him.
"Oh yeah and how are you gonna make me?" His simple question broke whatever confidence you had. You tried to think of a solution to this problem but your thoughts were rudely interrupted by Liam and his buddies laughing at you. "Didn't think this through now did you babe?"
You glared at him as you tighten your fist."Don't call me that", you spat. You looked back at whoever was behind you, the boy who need help. Your gaze softened. There he was on his back with tears in his blue eyes. He had blonde whitish hair styled back. He had black pants, white shirt and the red scarf the others made fun of. Look at him later, you got bigger fish to fry. You quickly refocused your attention to the bullies. You had an idea. "You know, I've been recording this whole altercation with you, him, and now me."
"What do you mean by that?" Liam look of anger turned one into confusion.
"Oh nothing, it just be a shame if I accidentally showed my little recording to the principle or heck maybe even my dad, who's a cop. You know it's illegal to physically hurt someone when you are the age eighteen or older right?" You smile at him as he gives a quick look of fear. He may not be afraid of being expelled or any other school punishment but he is afraid of getting into trouble with the law.
"You're bluffing right", he asked. You gave him a face that says 'try me'. He stumbles back. "Come on guys, this is lame let's get outta here."
Triumph washed over you as he left. You silently prayed a prayer of thankfulness that he and his gang took your lie. You hadn't been recording, but you wished you had been. You turn yourself once again to the guy. He had gotten himself up and he had a smile on his face. "Hey are you ok?", you ask.
"NYEH HEH HEH! I'M BETTER THAN OK. FOR IT WAS ANOTHER VICTORY FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" You smiled at him. You were happy he was ok. "THAT IS, ALL THANKS TO YOU", he quickly added. You chuckle, this guy is a character.
"It's no big deal. I'm just glad my idea worked and that you aren't hurt", you say nonchalantly.
"IT IS A BIG DEAL! WHAT IS YOUR NAME BY THE WAY?"
"Jayde", you reply.
"WELL JAYDE YOU MUST COME TO MY HOUSE SO WE CAN HANG. MY BROTHER MIGHT BE THERE AND I WANT YOU TO MEET HIM AS WELL!"
"I-uh." But before you could say anything he linked his arm around yours. He briskly started to walk and you had to follow. "I have to get home to study", you say to make an excuse. You didn't feel up to going to a complete strangers house.
"DON'T BE SILLY JAYDE, WE CAN STUDY TOGETHER AT MY HOUSE. ALTHOUGH HE DOESN'T LIKE TO ADMIT, MY BROTHER IS GOOD AT SCIENCE AND MATH. HE COULD HELP US OF WE GET STUCK. BESIDES DON'T YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR COOL NEW FRIEND?"
Friend? He already is calling me his friend? That's... different. But nice. "I, uh, I do."
"ALRIGHTY THEN. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? OFF TO MY HOUSE", Papyrus exclaims excitedly. Oh geez, what have I gotten myself into?

Hello people of the Internet! Kimkat here to tell you this is my first chapter of my work which I actually begun on Wattpad, however a friend of mine suggested me to post it here. Now usually I leave first chapters with out an AN but this is kind of different! I will post this on a regular schedule of every Sunday, although the time will be inconsistent depending on how stuck I am on writing. But since I already have posted about 25 chapters already on Wattpad, I will post here every Sunday around 3 pm. Again dependent on my schedule as well. And I know that kind of sucks for the people who can't or don't want to download Wattpad, I'm sorry. I am an evil author you will soon come to realize. My apologies, not really. All jokes aside I do hope you like this. I know it isnt the best it can be but I am trying. Thank you all for reading this, it means a lot.
