Today was the day Y/N would be able checking out his new highschool; Kimetsu Academy. It was known for being a very prestigious school where either the best of the best students or really rich ones would study. Of course, Y/N couldn't be placed anywhere within those categories. He just kind of got lucky with the answers of the test he had to take in order to get in, he thought. His self-esteem wasn't the highest, especially when it comes to academics. Probably because he would barely get by with minimal effort, but he couldn't be arsed to try any harder, as everything in life had lost its meaning for him. He felt hopeless all the time, since nothing in his life had gone right up to this point. But maybe, just maybe, this time would be different. It was a great opportunity for the boy to get back on his feet.

The (h/c) male stood before a mirror, fixing his hair. Since he was too lazy to brush his hair properly, he simply ran a few fingers through it, rearranging the few strands of hair that were out of place. 'Not too bad', he thought to himself. He went back into his room to change to his clothes. Since he didn't have a uniform yet and would not be attending the first two periods of school, due to his parents needing to sign some papers. They 'need him there' for it, apparently. He didn't quite understand why, nor care. Probably to confirm that nobody was commit some sort of weird identity fraud thing. Sounded boring anyway.

After dressing himself in a light blue shirt with a cloud pattern on it and a black pair of jeans, along with a black pair of Vans he bought the other day, he was finally ready to leave. Thankfully he never took off majority of his piercings/accessories so he didn't need to worry about not wearing them. Unless it's sharp, it doesn't come off. That's the rule for him.

He waited for his parents in the living room for a while. He started thinking about what the new environment would be like. He imagined there would be a lot of gossip going around; it's a school filled with mainly spoiled kids, it was something to expect. That made him nervous, not that he cared about what people would say to him or think of him, but he absolutely dreaded being talked about behind his back. It enraged him. He always viewed those who did it as cowards - well, they were. The thought made him scoff. Though it wasn't great to start off your day annoyed, he was used to it by now. He always wakes up with a strange mood, the fact that he isn't even a morning person adding onto that factor. Soon, his parents came into the living room and signaled him to get up. He did as he was told, taking his backpack with him, which contained all the boring school book stuff, as he called them and exited the house.

They got in a car and drove the way there. The school wasn't very far, but his parents were too lazy to walk there, plus they wanted to get there earlier so they could get the paperwork over with sooner. When they got to the school they noticed a few kids that were already there. "Hm, they must really care about their attendances being perfect..." Y/N mumbled to himself as they walked past. The people gave him weird looks, probably because they didnt recognise him. He assumed that new students were a big thing there, considering that the students in the highschool would be a small community who all knew eachother, since it was so incredibly difficult to get in that school in the first place. Really made him feel privileged.

"Hey, guys, did you hear?" Tanjiro started saying to his friends excitedly, as soon as they got out of class to walk to the cafeteria of the school. Tanjiro Kamado was a fairly popular student. Despite his status, he was a very pure and kind-hearted individual. He is generally known to hang around his friends, namely Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Muichiro Tokito and his younger sister, Nezuko Kamado, however her being a year younger, she wasn't in the same class as the 4 boys. "There's a new student. Some of the kids saw them earlier, you know, those guys that come here early to smoke before classes start? Yeah." The boy was talking while the rest of his friend group nodded when they agreed or were aware of a situation. "Yeah, I heard. Haven't seen them for myself though." Said Zenitsu, kind of wondering to himself how the new student would look like. "Heard from someone that they are cute." Nezuko said, giggling. That ticked Tanjiro off. He wasn't very into his sister dating people or fawning over people, because he was concerned they would hurt her. "Makes me wonder how good of an athlete they might be ! I'll make sure to challenge them as soon as I see them !" Inosuke yelled. A bit too loudly since people stared at the 5 in a judgemental manner. It made Muichiro embarrassed. "Shut up, you pig, you're being too goddamn loud." Muichiro spat at Inosuke. They all knew he didn't actually mean ill so they laughed it off and sat down at their regular lunch table.

"Hey, you guys. Do you think he's going to be in our home room?" Muichiro spoke coolly. "Minus Nezuko, of course." he commented, sort of trying to piss off the younger girl. "No need to rub it in." Nezuko said pouting, Muichiro simply ignored her in a playful way. "Perhaps. I heard they look about our age so it will either be that, or maybe they are older than us? I don't know. I can't wait to find out though !" Tanjiro said, in his usual hyper and excited tone. "I hope so, it's about time we saw a few new faces..." Zenitsu joined the conversation, Inosuke simply nodded next to him. All of them stared at the femme faced boy in awe. It had had to be one of the very few times he had ever agreed to anything anyone ever said. "What? You guys look real stupid staring at me like this." He said. All of them looked away once they realised he was still his normal self.

The bell rang again, signaling them to go back into their classes. Next up was English, with Mr. Tengen. That man was sort of unbearably loud, but at the same time made the class enjoyable. Though most of the female students were constantly drooling over him during the entirety of the class. Pretty disgusting to see female 15 and 16 year-olds simping so hard for a 30-year-old man who is already married. Kind of made Muichiro sick in the stomach, but he had gotten used to it, somewhat. He also hoped that the new student would join them during that period. Mr. Tengen always made students present themselves in English so he could also assess how good they were at the language. That made Muichiro intrigued, too and who could have guessed (Well, me) it actually was the period where the new student would join them ! Muichiro watched as a strangely familiar face walked in the classroom.

Y/N walked in the class. His hands were trembling and his knees felt like they were weak and buckling as he opened the door, soon being met with the various eyes of the 25 - about - students in the class. A lot more than he had expected. His Teacher of that period welcomed him, in English. Apparently his name was Mr. Tengen Uzui. He then asked the boy to introduce himself to the class in English as well. That didn't really make the male worried though, he was bilingual due to his mother forcing a second language upon him since he was a kid. Not like he minded it in the end though. Then, he opened his lips and spoke ; "Hello, I am (Y/N) (L/N). I just moved here a day or so ago. I really look forward to getting along with all of you." all that in fluent English. It impressed both the professor and some of the students.

"Alright, now that we have got that out of our way, why don't you go and take a seat next to Muichiro? Could he please raise his hand so you can know where to sit?" Y/N blinked once. He blinked twice. He was frozen in place for a bit simply staring at the boy with the raised hand. "...What.".
