“why don’t we get lockers, again?”

Summary:

A Modern High School AU chatfic I wrote on a whim on a random tuesday a few months ago and never posted.

! WARNING: SOME TEXT IS COLORED AND MAY BE HARD TO READ. !

Notes:

this is my insanity in chatfic form because I can't fucking write anything other than dialogue

also this is very much a stub and that's why it's the prologue

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue: “What Tomorrw Is”

GUYS SHUT UP YOURE GONNA GET ME CAUGHT

Hello, students, whom I assume to be Mr. Caramelo and Mr. D’encre. It is against school policy to communicate with other students during group instruction. This includes class orientations. I will be holding on to Mr. Palloncino’s phone until the end of his orientation, and I highly suggest you two boys put yours away before your teachers take them from you as well. -Miss Delilah Keen

WHYYYYYYYYY

 

imma be honest

i deleted all your numbers after the last time

who is the screaming person again

 

(834) 555-1028

I think it’s Sprout? I don’t know though, I 

deleted everyone’s number too.

Didn’t think I’d need them again after what 

happened.

 

Ok, screaming person is Sprout, punctuation person

is Shelly.

Shelly you were the only one I still had saved actually

 

doormat

Aww, I’m flattered! Thank you! You’re Vee, right?

 

yuppers

 

(834) 555-9186

Well, good thing all that fighting is in the 

past now!

 

Berry Boy

That’s Dandy

 

Absolutely Dandy

 

(834) 555-9186

Now, we can all be in this chat and get along!

 

Stupid flower we all hate

No more arguments or tussles necessary!

 

Must mean 8628 is Astro then

 

(834) 555-8628

yes, that’s me.

i am so so sorry for my friend’s actions

 

get some goddamn sleep for once man

he is not the best at reading the room.

ever.

 

doormat

Astro! Don’t say that about Dandy!

 

get some goddamn sleep for once man

I speak only the truth.

 

Berry Boy

Yeah except when you don’t

You lying about the plan was what got the ship 

sinking in the first place

 

And you helped Dandy lie about what happened 

to Dyle.

I still haven’t forgiven any of you for that, by the way.

 

doormat

You say “what happened to Dyle” like he died.

He was only in the hospital for a week, and it

wasn’t any of our faults.

 

Berry Boy

SHELLY HE BROKE BOTH HIS LEGS AND NEEDED 

A WHEELCHAIR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

 

doormat

Yeah! But he recovered, and like I said, he was only in 

the hospital for a week.

 

This group chat won’t make it to the end of the month.

 

Stupid flower we all hate

Aw, come on, guys! We can make this work, but

we gotta really try! Can you do that for little ol’ me?

 

Berry Boy

doormat

You guys! Suicide jokes are not funny, they’re

insensitive! 

 

get some goddamn sleep for once man

You underestimate how much we hate Dandy, Shells.

Notes:

I still need to get the work skin to let me color text implemented, so this chapter is technically unfinished until I do. If the circus trio's section had color when you read it, disregard this message.

also a few things to note:
1. Blot is written to be dyslexic, I don't have dyslexia however so if anything is inaccurate or offensive please let me know and tell me how I could fix it.
2. Spanish is not my first language, nor have any Spanish lessons I've ever taken stuck. I used google translate. I am sorry.
3. Vee is intended to be nonbinary, and Yatta is (if you couldn't already guess from the """subtext""") transfem. Vee's is because I thought canon Vee was nonbinary for the longest time before actually playing the game, and Yatta's is because I thought it would be an interesting direction to take her character in. And I wanted to write about trans people as a transmasc person. Do you blame me?

IGNORE SECOND ROW OF NOTES I don't know what I did but at least on my end the end notes from chapter 1 are being displayed here.

Notes:

hi uh I have 2.05 more chapters written but I can't guarantee any more than that, and that's if anyone even wants to see more of this

believe it or not this is not a sprout-centric fic it's just that no one else but these two are in the prologue AND THAT'S WHY IT'S A PROLOGUE

 

also hi this is my first fic how do i get all the text on one side of the screen without having to use the enter key to break a long line
