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

Sorry for Me

I walked to the gym alone. I honestly didn't want to listen to Miu talk about strip clubs even if it was a joke.

I sat down on the bleachers alone. I was always alone. No one bothered me which was ok. I'm used to it.

I began looking at my phone again. I use Instagram to post my art. I have a small following of around 200 but drawing for my fans is what keeps me going.

I had 3 new notifications. All of them were for my latest post, which was a drawing of one of my Oc's.

"Yay.." I quietly said to myself.

"Kokichi..?" Asked a voice behind me. I looked and saw Shuichi but this time he was alone.

"Oh hey, Saihara." I greeted. I wondered what he wanted.

He sat down next to me. "What are you looking at?" He asked.

"Illegal drugs on the dark web." I lied. I thought lieing was funny. I wanted to be like my online persona I built up for myself. My actual existence didn't matter all that much to me. I wanted to be like the OC version of me.

"Huh?" Shuichi said confused.

"Kidding," I said. "I'm just scrolling through Instagram."

Shuichi kuckeld a bit. "Yeah, I thought so."

"So Shuichi. Why are you taking pity on me?" I asked. I could see through him. Well, that's what I wanted him to think at least.

"Huh? I'm not taking pity on you Ouma, I was just curious. I wondered what you do every day." Shuichi admitted.

I smiled. Did someone take notice of me? "Welp, you're looking at it."

"Yeah, I did." Shichi smiled. "So our group is planning on going to the movies this weekend. Do you wanna join?" He asked.

What. I was shocked. I hadn't been invited to anything since like fourth grade. And that was a birthday party some girl invited the whole class too. So this was shocking. Wait nevermind Miu's going.

"Before I say yes who's all going?" I asked.

"Oh Just Katio, Maki, Kaede, Miu, and me." Said Saihara. "And don't worry, everyone said it was fine for you to come.

Wait everyone? What about Miu? ... Eh, if Shuichi says it's fine it's probably fine.

I leaned back a bit "So what time's the movie?" I asked.

"Oh, it is 6:30 next Friday," Shuichi said.

I nodded my head. "Alright, that works for me."

The bell rung. Perfect because I didn't want to talk anymore.

We both got up and went to our lockers.

The class was boring. We have our elective after lunch. For this quarter it's art which I'm not trying to flex I was good at. The assignment was to paint a self-portrait. Most people had theirs done within the class because they had thick black outlines and solid colors on theirs. But my bad different colors for each section, I had shading which was placed nice, and I had used really good colors for my hair.

My teacher walked over, clearly impressed. "Oh... Wow," She muttered. "Kokichi this is really good. Can I use this as an example?" She asked.

I nodded my head. I didn't care.

She had held up my painting for everyone to see. "Can everyone stop for a sec?" She asked. "I'd like you all to look up here."

Everyone looked at me and my painting. The only other person in this class I think can compare to my talent in art is Angie. I don't think she tries that hard in this class though which is surprising but I think if she doesn't have to try, she doesn't.

"I'm really impressed with Kokichi's portrait. You can really see the detail in it." My teacher said praising me. 

Some people either looked away or looked impressed. I hate this class.

She handed the painting back to me.

the rest of the day went as normal. P.E was the next hour which was my favorite class because I just sat and after that was study haul.

I was walking back to my locker after study haul. Miu was there first so I had to wait for her to open her stupid locker. God, why is everyone so annoying?

Miu looked at me. She cleared her throat. "So I heard you're coming with us to the movies.." she smirked.

"Hurry up so I can go home," I demanded.

"Yeah yeah, whatever just don't get in my way." She said while closing her locker then walking away.

I opened my locker. I grabbed my stuff and left.

A/N: HEY I hope you enjoyed this chapter (: I just want to clarify that Miu and Kaede are dating in this and Kaito and Maki are also dating.
