~Alex's POV~

"Alex! Hurry up!" Light fumbles to put his shoes on. "We're gonna be late!"

I blink a few times while clicking the cap back onto my eyeliner pencil. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Just wait a sec!"

After finally getting my eyeliner right, I grab everything I packed and rush downstairs. I meet Light at the front door and slip my shoes on. Our parents step out of the kitchen, approach us, and hug us tightly while taking some pictures. I knew we would come home right after, but it was still sad because we would be gone much longer than before due to schedule changes and being "Ultimates".

After all of that, we started to walk to the bus stop. Well, I walked. Light used his skateboard, of course. If it wasn't already obvious enough, Light's my brother. Younger brother. He's also going to be attending Hopes Peak with me, too. Others are going to the same school, which I haven't met yet. I didn't have enough time to stop by at the orientation they hosted during the summer.

If you haven't heard, I'm Alex Einstein, enrolled in Hope's Peak Academy as "The Ultimate Fashion Designer". I'm 16 years old and my birthday is May 1st. I have created multiple designs seen in popular places, shows, and occasionally concerts by various singers. But, I guess I got lucky enough to be noticed. I've dreamed of coming to this school for quite some time and I'm excited that I got accepted!

Finally, Light and I arrive at the end of the sidewalk. We wait patiently for the bus to come. Light circles around me as I sketch in my notebook. There's something off about this design. I'm not sure if it's the leopard-patterned jacket with the belt, or the heels not going with the black and red shades on the head. I sigh as I drag the eraser in some points of the paper.

"What're you drawin'?" Light asks, kicking his board into his palm and peeking over my shoulder.

I glance over at him, "Outfit idea."

Light raises an eyebrow, "Oh, really? What's the inspiration?"

"Someone sassy I'd seen the other day. Her aura fits perfectly with it, especially her exaggerated ponytails. Loved 'em!"

"Really? Not surprised," Light chuckles. He steps beside Alex and sets his board against his leg.

Shortly after, the bus pulls up to our stop. We board and sit in empty seats toward the back. We ride in silence beside each other. Disregarding the ride being a little over an hour, it's a peaceful ride.  I zone everything out and only listen to the sound of my pencil dragging across the paper. My outfit's making progress, it's starting to have a vibe that I'm enjoying. A bump would occasionally disturb my work flow, but I'd erase the mistake quickly and draw over it.

The bus slows to a stop and I glance out of the window. Hope's Peak Academy towers so tall that seeing the top from the bus's window is impossible. I collect my stuff together and follow behind Light off of the bus. Other kids from the neighboring school followed behind Light and me as we boarded off. 

My eyes are glued to the school once I step off the bus. The low rumble of the bus disappears as it pulls off. The school was huge! There is floor after floor, windows beside windows, and so much space. It's perfect. My future's going to be perfect.

Light's voice brings me back. "Alex, look," Light exclaims, pointing at two stone pillars resting beside each side of the gigantic double doors. "Look at the cats!"
