Danganropa: Still Tides

Chapter seventeen

I woke up to the morning announcements. Monosara had greeted us harshly this morning. She seemed pissed off for whatever reason. It didn't matter.

I rolled over to the side, trying to allow myself to get more sleep. I opened my eyes slightly. Only for a second. I found Moto by my side. She was sleeping soundly.

...

What was I supposed to do? Should I wake her up? Should I sneak away? How should I wake someone up in my bed?

I decided to roll over and wait for Moto to wake up.

...

"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" Moto yelled. I felt myself being hit over the head with a pillow.

"What the-"

I didn't have time to finish what I was saying before I got hit over the head with the pillow again.

"I'm up!" I put my hands up. Trying to defend myself from whoever was hitting me. Which was an easy question to answer. That laugh was all too familiar. Moto had decided to wake me up violently.

Maybe I should've woken her up when I had the chance.

"We should had sleepovers like this more often! Me and my older brother always slept in each other's rooms." Moto said. She seemed to reminisce on her childhood. I shook my head and got up.

"He dyed his hair a bright purple so we look nothing alike. Y'know?" Moto rambled on. "I tried to dye my hair once, it was a total mess. I think I did something wrong because my hair was green for weeks! Now I know better. Have you ever tried to dye your hair-"

I shook my head. I never noticed how chatty Moto was in the morning. It wasn't horrible. Just something to adjust to. Not like we'd be staying in each other's rooms every night.

I changed into my day clothes in my bathroom. Moto left sometime to go and get her own clothes from the fourth floor. I guess she still hasn't moved her stuff yet.

It wasn't long before she came back running downstairs to my room. I had just put my bag over my shoulder. She had nearly knocked me over.

"There's a roof!" She yelled in excitement. She quickly lead me upstairs. I almost tripped over myself as she dragged me upstairs. The final set of stairs lead to a roof??

It must be there for cleaning purposes. It was nice and clean. There weren't any railings, just indents on the building that acted as a barrier of sorts. It was a pretty long fall. Since this counted as the fifth floor. We explored the rest of the roof. Everyone besides Miyazato and Katayama had joined us.

Katayama soon came up to the roof though. It seems like he wanted to check out the new areas as well.

"Hey guys...." He gave a nervous wave at the group and a weak smile.

Suzuki moved Hara and Jimenez behind him for protection purposes. No one responded to his greeting. I couldn't even bring myself to do so. He had tried to kill Sato just the other day. Speaking of which, Sato was being protected by Chifuyu. She may have had her arms crossed and gave off an annoyed expression, but she didn't move and allowed the marksman to hide behind her. 

Katayama stayed on the other side of the roof while the rest of the group explored the other side.

"¡Échale un vistazo!" Jimenez called out. I turned to face the stuntist who was yelling at the cameras. Which didn't react.

"Oh wow..." Hara looked in awe at Jimenez's discovery. "It seems like there's a blind spot here. The cameras don't turn all the way around and can't see up in this specific spot."
