Yuu was sitting in the courtyard doing homework. Right now they had a free 1-hour period, and they forgot to do homework Professor Trein assigned that was due today.  Yuu spent thirty minutes fighting for their life trying to write two paragraphs in one sitting and skimming the textbook. Luckily, they just had to proofread now, so the panicky feeling they had was mostly gone. Suddenly, they felt something hit their leg. They looked down.

A paper airplane?

Yuu picked it up and examined it, glancing over at the bushes where it came from. They saw a bit of writing and unfolded it to see it better. Inside was a small note, written in fancy cursive.

-Hello.-

What the hell...? Yuu thought, staring at the random note. Was this supposed to be addressed to them? They looked around. No one else was nearby. Fuck it, might as well write back.

They took their pen and scribbled a quick "hi" back, then threw it back in the bushes.

Who am kidding, no one's gonna write back. I probably just littered. Whatever, I'll pick it up when I leav-

*THWACK*

"Ow-!"

Yuu yelped when they felt something hit their head. The paper airplane was back. And so soon, too. They picked it up again. Did someone write back?

-Lovely day, isn't it?-

Sure enough, there was a reply underneath Yuu's message, in the same style of cursive. Yuu stood up from their spot to look around. No one was there still. Who threw this plane at them?

This was strange. Surely, they would've noticed whoever was throwing stuff at them by now.

Yuu sat back down and wrote another note, this time slightly longer.

-Yeah, it's pretty warm today. By the way, who are you? PS: Don't aim for my head again please.-

They tossed it back into the bushes and went back to proofreading. Though, they were less focused as they were waiting for a reply from this mysterious messenger.

They waited.

And waited some more.

Ten minutes have passed. That's weird. The person answered so quickly last time. Perhaps they didn't want to reveal themselves and chickened out?

*whoosh*

Oh? The plane was back. And this time it landed perfectly in their lap. Yuu noticed something taped to it as well. It was... a packet of candy?

They were colorful little hard candies shaped like stars. Yuu tucked them into the pocket of their book bag. They liked free candy, sure, but they didn't know where this candy came from. It could be poisoned for all they knew. They were pretty at least, so there was that. Maybe they'll lick one later and see if they die or not.

Returning their attention to the paper plane, they unfolded it, anticipating their surprise pen pal's reply. When they read it however, they found themselves to be very underwhelmed.

All that was written was a smiley face.

Bro, that's it? They didn't even answer my question...

Maybe it was Ace or Deuce playing a prank on them. But they were in their clubs right now, weren't they? And Grim was back at the dorm sleeping.

Could it be Riddle, Trey, or Cater? No, they don't seem like the types to do that.

Yuu felt their phone buzz. They checked their messages and felt their heart drop.

========================
New messages from: the poopshitters

ace: @yuu GET YOUR FUCKING CAT BITCH

deuce: THERE'S SMOKE COMING FROM YOUR DORM
<I THINK GRIM SET SOMETHING ON FIRE

ace: MF GET ONLINE I KNOW YOUR NOTIFS ARE ON

"HUH!?" Yuu's thumbs moved at lightning speed as they typed back.

========================

yuu: WAIT WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SERIOUS

ace: DAMN TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH
<DUMBASS WHY WOULD WE JOKE ABOUT SMTHN LIKE THAT

yuu: BRO THE ONE TIME I GET TIME TO MYSELF

deuce: YUU I THINK YOU SHOULD HURRY THE SMOKE'S GETTING BIGGER
<IDK WHY BUT THE SMOKE IS RAINBOW, DID GRIM GET INTO UR POTION SET?

yuu: FUCKFUCKFUCJDICJDICN

========================

Yuu shoved all their stuff into their bookbag, including the airplane. They could figure out who wrote to them later. Right now, they had to save their place from getting even more ruined. Throwing their bag on their shoulder, they ran to their dorm, praying they could get there fast enough.

Behind a pillar, a short figure emerged, red eyes watching the desperate human run across the courtyard, cursing rapidly under their breath. The figure stifled a laugh when said human almost fell on their face tripping over nothing.

"My, the students here are always so lively."

He walked off, popping a few star shaped candies into his mouth while doing so.
