Kaede POV 2029

"So, you're both fresh out of high school?" I asked my two new assistants. Sure, I was hesitant to hire such young girls to assist me, but they seemed thrilled. Plus, my manager and best friend chose them. Well, one of my two best friends.

"Yeah!But we'd love to work with you. Even with your reputation." The pink haired girl said nervously. The one in the wheelchair ran over her foot,causing her to cry out in pain.

"Sorry, she's kind of an idiot." The green haired girl smiled nervously. It was only natural. I did have quite a reputation.

"Wouldn't you girls rather go to college than work for me? I may be a huge movie star, but I wouldn't want to deprive you of a college education."

"Because we want to work in this field." The pink haired girl said with pure determination.

"I may not seem like it ,but I'm a hard worker and I'll do anything to achieve my dreams. Kotoko will too. We both really want this." Monaca said with fire in her eyes.I smiled to myself, trying not to let them see. It's been a while since I have seen so much passion in such young ladies. They reminded me of me at 17. When I was innocent and happy. I thought the world was a beautiful place. My junior year of high school was both my best and worst year of school for many reasons. But one stood above them all.

It hurts to think about the past. Eight years ago, it was so far away. His name was Shuichi Saihara. The boy who sat next to Kokichi Ouma in the other class. The boy who could play Romeo beautifully. The boy who could solve any mystery game. He was beautiful, but horrifying.. I think of him every day. He was the best and worst thing that happened to me. I hope I never see him again.

I looked at the girls. Both with so much potential and passion to do great. "I guess I'll have to accept you both then." I sighed. "But I'm going to work your asses off." The two of them cheered together, squealing loudly. Young women were so exhausting to deal with.

Kaede POV 2021

"What happened with Kokichi was kind of cruel." I whispered as I followed my friends. "You should've been nicer."

I turned to Rantaro and he just shrugged at me. I pouted and slapped his chest.

"He'll get over it." Maki replied as she guarded Rantaro from his crazed fan girls.

Maki and Rantaro were my best friends. Even though the three of us were incredibly different. Maki was always super cool and composed. She played guitar in a band, rode a motorcycle, always sported a leather jacket, and had the biggest knife collection I had ever seen. Even though she was called the school's bad girl she didn't do much. She'd only fight people who bothered her or Rantaro and me.

Rantaro was a super chill surfer dude. He was bestowed the honor of being captain of the Hope's Peak basketball team when Hajime Hinata graduated. Though he was always the most admired guy on the team. Everyone loved him. Plus, he was kind to everyone and was known for his pristine reputation.

I'm Kaede Akamatsu. Unlike the other two, I am not that popular or well known. But I play the piano a lot and starred in some of my school plays. As an extra though. I live with my single mother who runs a beauty salon in town. Everyone always tells me that I am a sweetheart and super kind, but I do not see it.

"You should try talking to Kokichi." I said, watching Rantaro he was always too busy with his pile of gifts.

The three of us walked into our homeroom to hide out. Usually after games, girls surround Rantaro and try to ask him out. He is incredibly uncomfortable about that considering he is extremely in love with someone he never met. Me and Maki watched as he dropped all his gifts from his fans. He smiled as he picked up a note. It was not as fancy as everyone else's, but it was easily his favorite.

"Let me guess Panta again." I grinned from ear to ear as Maki teased him and he blushed. She usually was not this way, but when we were alone, she was kind of the comedian of the group. She wasn't as scary as she pretended to be." Me and Kaede already know you love whoever this girl is."

"Who says it's a girl." I giggled and ruffled Rantaro's hair.His face was completely red.

"Either way I wouldn't care. Panta is my true love." He mused and Maki stuck out her tongue. Suddenly she looked angry. She was back to being herself.

"First, I deal with fangirls and next my test papers are destroyed?" Her red eyes suddenly turned dark and violent.

"It's okay babe, don't get angry." Rantaro laughed and went to pat her head. She bit his hand. "Ouch Maki, it wasn't me."

"Me neither!"

She sighed and sat in her chair. She looked at her paper and calmed down a bit.

"Hey Maki can I have my Monokuma back?" I asked her and she looked into her desk. "Sure, but next time don't set me up on blind dates. Especially with Kaito." I looked out the window and saw Kaito watching from afar. He may have been a complete asshole for beating up Kokichi but nothing stopped him from loving Maki.

I took my Monokuma back and put it on my backpack. Rantaro watched with a smirk as he sucked on a lollipop and continued to read what Panta had written to him. I ended up telling my friends about how I assaulted Rantaro's dad at his prep rally with a shoe to get the recording.

Later, when the coast was clear and all the fangirls were mostly gone, we all walked outside to the courtyard ready to go home. I noticed the handsome new guy from earlier watching me walk. His eyes were on my Monokuma plushie.. I turned a bright red as he looked at me. Boys never pay attention to me.

It was quickly ruined by him tripping me.

"Take that slut." He said as he ran off. My leg was bleeding like crazy. Rantaro picked me up in his arms and everyone went crazy. He rolled his eyes and carried me to the nurse's office.

Maki grabbed her knife and ran after the new boy. The next couple of days were hell. The odd boy would follow me around and pull small pranks. He would throw trash when I volunteered to clean the park. One time he dumped water all over me. He even got Miu Iruma to steal my clothes one day. Nothing could have prepared me for what he would do next. This strange, beautiful boy was out to get me. Shuichi Saihara wanted to destroy me, and I did not know why.
