((Canceled)) What is a Best Friend? -Saiouma-

(1): School

Kokichi POV

It was early in the morning. Birds chirping outsides as I woke up. I was in an odd position, on my stomach with a body pillow laid diagonally under my head. In my right hand was my phone. I must've been reading or something when I fell asleep last night.

I checked the time, it was 7:11 am. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. I yawned and jumped off the bed and headed over to the closest to get my clothes. I chose a black hoodie that had a checkered pattern on the arms. Some black jeans, and threw on my favorite checkered scarf.

I took a shower, styled my hair, ate breakfast and brushed my teeth before I made my way to school. On my way there I ran into my friend Kiibo.

"Hey Kokichi!" Kiibo said as he waved his metal hand. I waved back and jogged ahead to catch up with him. He placed his hand on my shoulder and asked, "How was your weekend?"

I looked at him almost shocked. How did I forget it was the weekend? What the hell was I doing last night? "U-uh it was good! Got a lot of sleep last night." For all I know that might even be a lie, but I know Kiibo wouldn't question that.

He turned towards me taking his hand off my shoulder. "That sounds pretty nice! I hung out with Rantaro on Saturday. We went to the park and talked a bit." He explained. He seemed to have had a good weekend. I don't remember what I even did..

As we neared the school's entrance, we parted ways to our separate classes.

When I made it to my class, I sat down in the back near the big clean windows, not bothering to talk to anyone. I looked out the window, looking at the trees swaying in the breeze. It was the middle of summer. How lovely. The bell rang snapping me back to reality.

My eyes drifted from person to person as the lesson went on, but I could care less about what was happening. I studied people's body language out of boredom. It was a habit since no one really wanted to talk to me. No one really liked me, I mean besides Kiibo, Rantaro and the boy I have a slight crush on, Shuichi Saihara.

Class ended, and I made my way to my next one. Boring as always. I don't even pay attention, but end up getting good grades anyways.

As I swiftly made my way to class, clenching my books against my chest tightly. I avoided people as much as I could, not wanting to make contact. Then....WAM!

I suddenly made contact with the floor. Rubbing my head I heard a familiar voice.

"I-I'm sorry, Kokichi! Are you alright?" Shuichi asked as he reached out his head to help me up. I could feel my cheeks begin to heat up. I quickly stood up, indicating that I didn't need his help. He picked up one of my books and handed it to me. "Here, my apologies again." He said with a bright smile.

I took the book out of his hand. He picked up the rest and brought them over to my desk since we were in the same class. I blushed at the action. Shumai was so kind. He sat down next to me.

"Did you go to sleep at a decent time last night?" He questioned.

I cocked my head at the question. "I don't really remember what happened last night. I guess I was so tired from what happened, whatever happened." I awkwardly laughed at my sentence.

Shuichi laughed a little. "You called me and halfway through you fell asleep so I hung up." I guess that explains why I had my phone in my hand when I awoke.

"How did you sleep?" I decided to ask since it was only fair.

"After I hung up on you I decided to take a shower and get ready for bed. I didn't actually fall asleep until around 1 am but it's okay."

I turned my attention to the window. Saihara took this to question. Maybe I was spacing out more often than I was, forgetting things that happen. Daydreaming. I lost my deep thoughts as the bell rang.

I must've fallen asleep in class because Shuichi was shaking my arm intensely. "Kokichi, wake up. The bell rang, it's time for lunch." He said with a small aggressive tone.

I sat up and yawned. Shuichi had a kind of angry expression placed on his face. I smiled and stood up, placing my hand on his shoulder. "I don't want lunch." I said as I hurried off to the bathroom.

During lunch period I would sit in the bathrooms and wait for the bell to ring. I didn't want to drag attention to myself for sitting somewhere without eating anything. Occasionally, Kiibo would join me. We would chat for a few minutes until it was time to go. Today, I guess, was one of those days.

The door slammed open as Kiibo walked in. He sat down on the counter next to me. "How's your day going?" He asked.

I looked at him and hummed, "Hm..Good I guess. And you?"

"Good as well." Kiibo replied. Rummaging through his bag, he pulled out a folder. "I'm going to do some homework." Homework. I didn't even pay attention in class.

I stared at him as he answered the questions on his paper. He noticed and looked up at me. "Hmm?" Kiibo hummed.

"Ah, nothing. It's just satisfying to watch someone write on paper.." I hesitated. I leaned back, my head almost hitting the mirror. "You got any spare coins, Kiibo? I wanna get a panta." I sighed. He nodded and handed me a 100¥. I headed out of the bathroom to the vending machines in the cafeteria.

I put the coin in the slot and clicked the button for panta. I grabbed it out of the drop box and turned around to see if I could find Shuichi. He was at a table with Kaede, so I decided to go over there.

"Afternoon Shuichi!" I exclaimed with a really big smile. Kaede glared at me a little. "And Kayayday." I rolled my eyes.

"Hello Kokichi. Would you like to sit with us?" He asked. Without giving it thought I sat down next to him. He looked shocked at how quickly the action was made.

"So, what's up?" I asked. Shuichi looked at Kaede for a quick second, then back at me. "Something important? Oh do tell!"

Saihara giggled a little. "We were discussing the homework from today." Boring. Just like Kiibo.

"In other words, nothing that you would really care about, Ouma." Kaede said.

"I-I do my homework! How dare you accuse the Ultimate Supreme Leader, Kayayday!" I declared. Shumai just giggled at the two of us. My heart sped up and my face and ears got warm. I hoped they didn't notice I was tomato red...
