It was lunch again on Tuesday. We sit in our usual spots. Meenah still wasn't done getting food yet.

I didn't feel like having my apple. Kankri seemed into fruits and vegetables so maybe I could give it to him.

I toss my apple over to Kankri's plate.

" Herez an apple. "

" What! " He tosses it back to me. " Do you even know what preservatives they put in the apples at this school? It's not healthy at all. "

" Um Kanny I don't think apples have preservatives. " Porrim replies putting her hand out.

" Well first stop calling me that. Second it actually can because- " Kankri complies.

" Well then why are you having an orange? " Aranea lifts one of her eyebrows.

" Because I can Aranea. They at least have a good amount of vitamin C. " Kankri lifts his head up in a disrespectful manner.

Aranea sticks her tounge back at him as Meenah comes over to our table.

" Sup everybody. " Meenah sits on the other side of me this time.

" Hello Meenah. Now that we are all here, I wanted to ask of something. " Aranea asks.

" Ughhh fine. What is it. " Meenah dips her head.

" What would you like Aranea? " Porrim provides.

" Well I thought it would be rad- " Aranea winks to me and I wink back with pleasure. Okay. She had my full attention.

" -if we maybe hangout later today? Since we usually hang out at school more or just one on one hanging out. I thought it would be cool if we did that. "

" Sure! " I reply.

" Dats fine with me " Meenah nods.

" Ok. " Porrim smiles.

" KK though... " Kankri says losing eye contact.

" Alright good! We can all go! Now where should we go? " Aranea describes.

" No. I said I can't go. " Kankri turns his head to her. We look with confusion.

" But you just said kk? " Porrim agitates.

" Yeah. " I agree.

" No. I said KK. As of my brother. Karkat. I have to watch him tonight. " Kankri explains.

" Ohhh. " Meenah gives a thumbs up.

" No. Not thumbs up! Thumbs down. " Aranea does a thumbs down. " I was hoping that we all could go... "

" Wait. What about you bring Karkat? He is a sweet, nice guy. I am pretty sure. Right? " Aranea ponders with hope.

We all shake our heads with disapproval except Meenah. " No. No. No. No. No. No. "

" So he isn't a nice guy? " Aranea decides. " Sorry. Haven't really talked to him in about five years. "

She was right. She hadn't really connected with the other vantases.

" I guess he isn't too bad. He just has a bad temper... " Porrim starts off.

" Massive swearing... " I continue.

" Shouts all the time.... " Kankri thirds.

" ....Is awesome! " Meenah proclaims.

We all turn our heads at her.

Meenah shrugs.

" Although it might not be the worst thing if he came. " Porrim puts her finger on her cheek.

" I could bring the duct tape if he gets out of control. " Meenah suggests.

" Yea. Bring him! " Aranea decides.

Kankri tugs at his collar of his red sweater " I don't really think we should. I just won't go. "

" Aww Kankz come! It would make me glad if you came! " I say and smirk at him.

His face turns red like the color of his sweater. " Fine. I will go. Plus I will have to bring Karkat too. "

" Now. While we got Kankri to come, I remembered their being a special basketball game here with our school against another school a few hours away. Plus students who go here get a discount on tickets. How about we go to that? " Aranea asks us

All of us agree.

--♎️--

I just finished having dinner. Redglare said she could drive me. Terezi had to come on the drive since she couldn't be left alone at home. We were almost there.

" Latula. " Terezi moans to me.

" Yup? " I respond.

" Who is coming too? I mean to the game with you? "

" Just friendz "

" Who??? "

" Okay jeez girl. Kanklez, Porrim, Meenah, and Aranea. "

" Who is Kanklez? "

I sigh " Kankri. "

" Ah. No Mituna? "

I give her a death stare. I didn't like it when she talked about him. It didn't feel good.

We finally stop at my destination. I wave bye to them and wait in the area by my school for them. Aranea, Porrim, and Meenah were already there.

We greet each other.

" I wonder if Kankri decided to come. " Porrim wonders.

" Maybe Karkat didn't want to go? " I add on.

" Wait. Here they come! " Aranea points to them walking to us.

It looked like Kankri was giving his young brother a lecture. Karkat was crossing his arms over his crab sweater brooding.

Eventually they got over here.

" Hello friends. Say hi Karkat. " Kankri nudges him to us.

" Hello Random Fuckasses and Meenah! " Karkat shouts with annoyance.

Porrim gasps " You don't remember my name? You know how us Maryams have been with your vantases. ".

" I know. I just prefer to call you another random fuckass! The only one I don't remember by name is her! "Karkat points over to Aranea.

" I am Aranea, Vriska's older sister. Haven't seen you in awhile. " Aranea holds her hand out to shake.

He sticks his middle finger at her " Well then fu- "

Kankri gives Karkat a glance and he stops. " No triggers are allowed here Karkat. "

Karkat tries to secretly roll his eyes but he freezes looking at Aranea. Actually, more like her necklace. The 69 one.

" Y-your necklace! You have to be shitting me- "

" Okay everyone have their ticket money? " Aranea interrupts him but he kept staring.

We all say we do and had off to the gym. Karkat still keeps his gaze on her necklace. A man gives us our tickets and we pay him.

Once we get inside we sit at one of the top rows of seats. It wasn't too crowded and we could see fine. The teams were practicing shooting hoops and passing too.

I check my phone. He have about fifteen minutes until the game started.

" How long till this fucking game starts!?! " Karkat grumbles.

" About fifteen minutez. " I respond.

Karkat takes a deep sigh, " Oh for fucks sake! Why did I even have to go!?! "

" You couldn't stay at the house alone. Our older brother is off doing something. " Kankri orders.

" Well I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. I could of been perfectly fine! " Karkat waves his arms in the air angrily.

" Hey, Meenah can I have the duct tape now? " Kankri pleads.

" Oh my gog. " Porrim looks at another row of people on the other teams side.

" What the hell is gog!!! Everyone says it but I never even fucking understand what I means! " Karkat wails.

Meenah gives a smirk and puts her elbow on his seat, " Gog is yu mom. "

" Okay that was such a lame ass Mom joke! I mean we don't even have any fucking moms! " Karkat snarls at Meenah but she just laughs.

" Is that who I think it is? " Porrim says still looking at that row. She looks like she just saw a ghost.

" Who is that your looking at? " Aranea asks.

Porrim murmurs,

" Rose. "

I gasp and my eyes widen. Even though nobody could see my eyes through my glasses.

" P-porrim, is that... "

She nods.

" Excuse me but Porrim and I need to have a talk. " I yank her arm and pull her to the bathroom.

Nobody was inside when I opened the door. Phew.

" Which one waz Rose? " I ask Porrim.

" Th-The one with the sun shirt. I saw her with that on once when Kanaya and her were video chatting. "

" But there is probably one-million gurls out there who have the same shirt. "I raise my eyebrows.

Porrim still seemed frightened " I knew it was her because of her looks too. The same hair, headband, eyes, and mouth. Even the nose! The nose Latula! "

I squint at her. I hated when people talked about noses, and smelling, and perfume, and...I can't continue. It just made me upset. I didn't like to say why though.

" I guess, I need to take a look though. "

We walk out of the bathroom and on the way we stop. I get in a good spot to see.

It didn't take long to find the girl. She wore exactly what my friend described.

She was sitting next to a boy in big glasses. The boy had black hair. He wore a blue hoodie and had big beaver teeth. I wasn't sure if he wore braces or not though. Huh.

Next to the boy was a girl in a black hoodie. She had long black hair that went to the waist. The girl also wore glasses except they were circle and had kinda big teeth too.

Were the two black haired people dating? Wait. No. They must be related by the looks of it.

For about a minute a watched them chat with each other.

" I think we should go- " Porrim starts to leave.

" Stop. Someone else is coming. " I pull her back.

A boy with the same colored hair as Rose walks up from the court. He was on the team and was holding a basketball in one of his arms.

He wore big black glasses that covered his eyes. I liked his taste in having dark glasses. The blond boy also had an emotionless face. Until the black haired boy must of made a joke and made everyone laugh. Even him.

" Alright. Now we can go. The game is about to start in- " I check my phone. " Two minutes. "

" So let's get back in our seats. " Porrim pulls me this time.

When we get back in it was just about to start.

" What took so long? " Aranea questions.

" We just had a talk for awhile, right Latula? " Porrim nudges me.

" Right. " I respond.
