[Old] Never let go, Never Runaway (Oumasai)

Art is Dead

The class was fairly boring. Since our class is so small, we only occupy one classroom and one teacher. It's like that for the second and third years too. So that means we sit in the same classroom all day. What is this? Elementary school?

Our first-class is math which I don't pay attention to because I just cheat on the math homework so there's no point in working at it.

Our next class is English. It's the only class I like because we're reading a really good book about a detective.

Next is science which I also don't pay attention to if we're not doing anything. If we're doing a lab though I'm kinda forced to do it.

Last is Social Studies. I don't think anyone pays attention to the subject though.

Now its lunch. I usually eat in the courtyard alone. I sit under a tree and play on my phone or draw.

I'm trying to open my locker but of course, the second I do, Miu comes up behind me and closes my locker so she can have more room on her side.

She doesn't do this though to Kaede who is on her other side. "Move it titless," Iruma demands.

"Miu you do realize I'm not a girl so that's why I have no boobs," I reply.

"Shut up." The taller girl says walking to lunch.

"Finally," I mutter under my breath. Miu always had a way of making others feel bad about themselves.

I put my stuff away and walk to lunch.

I take my food from the lunch ladies. Since it's raining outside I can't eat outside.

There's an empty table in the back of the lunchroom though so I speed walk to sit there.

I'm used to being alone so the empty table didn't bother me. I looked around the lunchroom. Seeing all of the happy couples made me jealous. Kazuichi and Fyukiyu, Togami and Makoto, heck even people in our class like Tenko and Himiko. I wish I had someone.

I open my phone. It's an iPhone from two years ago but it still holds up fine. (at the time of writing this the latest iPhone is the iPhone 13 so he has the iPhone 11 but if you read this in the future it's just the latest iPhone from two years ago.)

I open Instagram and start scrolling through the app.

I felt a tap on my back.

I turned around to see Shuichi and His friends, Kaito Kaede, Maki, and Miu of all people.

"Can we sit here?" Kaede asked positively.

I nodded my head. There wasn't anywhere else in the lunchroom to sit so of course I'd let them sit here. "I don't care, go ahead," I replied.

Kaede smiled. Shuichi and the others sat down.

"Hey, Kokichi bestie," Miu said sitting down. She probably wasn't serious.

"Hello, Iruma," I said putting my phone back into my face. I didn't want to talk.

"So what are we doing this weekend?" Asked Maki.

"Maki-roll, it's Monday..." Kaito replied.

Maki cracked her knuckles. "Never too early to decide."

Shuichi chuckled. "How about the movies?" He asked.

Kaede shook her head. "We went there yesterday."

Miu stood up a bit. "How about a strip club?" She asked obviously joking.

I didn't want to listen to them talk about a strip club. I stood up because I was uncomfortable.

I didn't eat anything because I was too busy looking at my phone.

"Wait Kokichi, where are you going?" Asked Kaede.

I sighed. "The gym." We go to the gym after we're done eating lunch. Like everyone does. It's the rule.

"Wait, why?" Asked Shuichi.

I didn't say anything. I just threw away my food and walked off to the gym.

a/n:  Yes Yes ik Kokichi acts nothing as he does in the game but who gives a fuck.
