Deadass. | Tokyo Revengers

Chapter 1

   The classroom was loud and rowdy as expected for an elementary class. As the children talked amongst each other, heels clicking on the floor was a sign for everyone to quiet down. At the entrance of the room stood the teacher and a little girl.

"Good morning everyone, today is a very exciting day because we have a new student joining us."

"This is Y/N," The teacher gestured to the girl.

"Everyone please give her a warm greeting," and as directed all the kids greeted the new girl with a huge roar of "hi's" and "hello's" well almost everyone. Y/N noticed a boy in the back of the classroom with his nose stuck in a book. He hadn't even bothered to look up at her.

Once Y/N introduced herself many of the kids had run up to properly introduce themselves as well. Overwhelmed by the crowd of kids and fury of new names being thrown her way. Y/N had locked eyes with a nice-looking girl. She dramatically pointed her finger at the girl.

"You!" Y/N yelled as she grabbed the girl's hand and ran away from the crowd. She held the girl's hand up high triumphantly like a referee at the end of a boxing match.

"I choose you to be my first friend!" Y/N declared. The girl looked at her wide-eyed but then she smiled and let out a laugh.

The girl introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Y/N, my name is Hinata Tachibana and I'm happy to have you as my new friend."

Then class began and Y/N sat by Tachibana.

Feeling a tap on the shoulder Y/N turned towards her friend, "Hey Y/N, why did you transfer to this school? Are you new to Shibuya?" Tachibana asked with a tilt of her head.

"Yeah, my parents moved here because of their work and also because this is one of the best elementary schools in Shibuya. They also heard that the kid that scored first on the national mock exam goes to this school and they want me to beat them in the next exam."

"Oh you must mean Kisaki, he's really smart." At those words, Y/N's stomach tightened and her eyes fell to the floor in disbelief.

She leaned towards Tachibana and whispered, "Wait, you know the kid who scored first?"

"Well he is in our class, so of course I know him," Tachibana explained as she finished her worksheet. She tapped on her desk with the tip of her pencil.

"Are you for real?!" Y/N exclaimed her voice, startling the class.

"Um, sorry," she apologized in a lower voice. She turned back to Tachibana for her response.

"Yes, look over there. He's the one with glasses and black hair." Pointing at a kid in the back of the classroom.

'That was the kid with his nose stuck in a book!'

The boy sat alone quietly working in his textbook. All the kids seemed to avoid him.

"Everyone thinks he must be stuck up because he never makes an effort to talk to anyone, but I think he's just reserved," Tachibana whispered.

'So people don't like him? I thought that the smartest kid in school would have been popular like the class president or something. But I guess he's just a quiet background character. I wonder if I were to beat Kisaki if I'd end up like him. Shunned by the whole school...lonely.'

'No! That's the last thing I'd want to happen. To avoid that I need to be the opposite of Kisaki. Friendly, popular, and outgoing. Okay then! I'll become the smartest in school, have lots of friends, and finally make my parents proud. I'll be happy, right?!'

The day drifted on and the school day finally came to a close. Everyone was packing their bags to go home. But just because school was over it didn't mean Y/N's day was done. She still had to go to cram school.

Today she was running a little late since it's still her first day there. Frantically she packed her bag and made her way to the bathroom to change out of her school uniform. It's not like she had to; she just didn't really like her uniform. She made her way outside. Luckily, cram school was relatively close to her school. But as she made her way there someone caught her eye.

It was Kisaki. He was hiding behind a wall and looking in the distance. Y/N hid and turned to look at what he was staring at, it was Hinata Tachibana. She was shaking surrounded by a group of older boys who were yelling at her.

'It doesn't look like Kisaki plans on making any moves to save her. So I guess that means it's up to me-'

Without missing a beat, a boy with a red cape ran towards them and kicked one of the boys in the gut. He stood proud with his cape flowing in the wind. "The hero has arrived! Middle schoolers ganging up on a girl?! Not on my watch!" The boy shouted at the bullies. Tachibana's eyes shined in awe.

'Wow, he came to save Tachibana how brav-'

Then the young boy was punched in the gut and he fell. The older boys started hitting him while he was down. The young boy tried to protect himself from the older boys' kicks, but there was no use.

Y/N began to panic. 'Oh no, what do I do? I can't just watch him get beat up, but there's no way I will be able to beat those middle schoolers up...'

'...Wait, I know if I can't beat them I'll just scare them away. That's it!'

Y/N set her school bag down. Grabbed onto the back of her undershirt and pulled it over her head covering her face. She poked holes in her shirt where her eyes were. She grabbed some twigs from the bush she was hiding in and poked them through her makeshift Halloween mask.

Grabbing handfuls of sand and rocks from the ground, she ran towards the group of boys. Yelling as she ran full speed. "AAAAHHHH!" She threw the sand and rocks at the bullies aiming for their eyes. The boys screamed as the sand entered their eyes. While they covered their eyes she kicked them all where the sun didn't shine.

All three boys toppled over in pain. While they were distracted Y/N grabbed the beaten boy and Tachibana by their hands and ran. She pushed them in front of her.

"Keep running, I forgot something!" Slowing down Y/N ran to the bushes to retrieve her school bag and ran. 'Oh, I forgot I'm gonna be late for cram school.'

Leaves fell off of her as she ran to cram school. She pulled her undershirt back down and shook the rest of the twigs out of her shirt. She ran into the cram school building and found her room. She quietly made her way inside but was stopped by the teacher.

"Why are you late?" The teacher stood facing the board.

Quickly making up an excuse, "I got lost, sorry." Y/N sat down at an available desk.

"Alright then, since you're new you get a pass. Let's get started with the lesson then." The teacher exclaimed.

'PHEW. I hope Tachibana and that boy made it out of there safely.'
