We've all seen this part so I won't even waste my time writing it and skip to introductions its all the same.
"So since we have some time before the teacher gets here let's introduce ourselves to the class shall we, I'd like to get to know you all. I'll go first I'm Hiratq Yosuke my friends call me Yosuke I played soccer before so I plan to do that here. It's nice to meet you all." A sociable green haired boy kicked off the beginning for the fight for social hierarchy. Although he's good looking so I'm sure he'll stand at the top.
As introductions went through I began to think about what I'd say as I looked at the cameras, should I go for comedy perhaps or something else. I vaguely heard the name Shizuku but by time I registered it could be a long lost friend they had already been seated and I thought about it in my thoughts until.
"You there in the back, it's your turn." The boy named Hirata called out to me as I was distracted. Now for my school life I stand here. But I stumbled over the chair legs making it even more awkward.
"Ah... uhm. I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, I guess. I look forward to the next few years. I'm not really good at anything so please take care of me."
While I received pity claps I could only reflect on my failure. My seat mate laughed at me too. But a girl with long hair that was black began to stare at me intensely with a look of both happiness and sadness while I tried to avoid her gaze.
Then Hirata turned to the last boy and signaled hide to go.
"Alright, I'm Katagiri Yuuichi. None of my friends are here anymore for unfortunate circumstances so I'd like to get along. I'm good at seeing through people I guess and enjoy just about everything. It's nice to meet you all. Oh wait, I'll be the leader of you all for now, I hope you get used to it." He calmly said the last part in a chilling tone making the others sweat and gain looks of fear in their eyes.
"I-uhm what do you mean by that Katagiri?..." Hirata was the first to speak up.
"Oh please call me Yuuichi. And just what I said, I'm now the leader of this class and you're all my pawns from now on till the end of the year."
People began to naturally disagree until he walked to a short brown haired boy who I remembered for lying in his introduction I don't remember his name though.
"Ike Kanji, right? Well of course you'd disagree but. To disagree means to challenge me, no one wants to challenge the leader. Right?" Katagiri gripped his shoulder and Ike's face instantly morphed into one of pain and slumped into his seat.
"I'm glad you understand Kanji." Katagiri turned and walked to the podium in the center of the room.
"Like I said I'm the leader, your master and owner now. I mean none of you have figured it out yet, or even got any guesses do you? Although I'm sure the blonde narcissist and Ayanokoji was it? Have a feeling of what I'm getting at."
He just had to call on me making everyone stare at myself and the blonde combing his hair passionately.
"Of course I do Demon Child, I am the Perfect Existence after all. I can tell you and Ayanokoji boy are the only two hidden gems including my perfect existence in this class. However don't expect me to be your pawn as I listen to no one."
Katagiri chuckled and looked at me while looking at me.
"Well, Ayanokoji will you obey me or will you force my hand?"
I stood up to meet him with my hands in my pockets.
"Well that depends really."
'He's already destroyed my hopes for a peaceful life with this. I'm slightly annoyed.'
"Oh? On what?"
"That you stay out of my way. While I'm not opposed to cooperating. Don't expect you can manipulate my heart Katagiri."
As soon as he was about to reply the door swung open and a woman with a black pony tail and black suit.
"Ayanokoji and Katagiri right? Take your seats home room will now begin."
She stood at the podium as the two of us sat down getting a glance from a blonde girl with a pony tail and my black haired seat mate that I ignored.
The teacher named Chabashira Sae began to explain that we will be given a budget of 100.000 points per month while one point translates to a single yen. We can buy anything possible. She seemed no she was hinting at something attentively that only a few people have seemed to pick up on but stayed quiet on and once she was finished I reluctantly decided to help out.
"Sensei, how many points will we be getting next month?"
"I can't answer that Ayanokoji. Do you have any more questions?"
I shook my head No and she had a look of disappointment on her face before walking out of the classroom. But as soon as people began to talk there was a sound on the intercom telling students to go to the gymnasium for the opening ceremony.
- - -
During the opening ceremony it was mainly boring however the student council president's speech is what left on an impression on me, there seemed to be a few others who stuck out a short haired lilac hair girl with a cane, a man with hair to his shoulder magenta with a muscular build and a girl with long pink hair. I have a feeling they'll be important later. While I noticed Horikita's reaction barely to the student council president I was more focused on the other students right now thinking about the person named Shizuku it could be her. Her hair used to be a beautiful gold and long but I don't really see anything that stands out like that although I noticed my gaze meeting a black haired girl's often with a look on anxiety on her face.
After the ceremony I began to walk around and look for the girl although she seemed to have left already maybe to her dorm. After a few minutes I gave up and wandered the campus aimlessly reminiscing about a girl named Shizuku Suzuki. I sat an empty bench near the gym watching people that came and went.
"Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?"
It was the black haired girl from earlier.
"Go ahead. I actually had wanted to talk to you, why have you been staring at me so much? Did I do something to offend you?"
"Eh? Ah I see, I guess even you can't tell immediately Kiyotaka. I'm disappointed you've gone and forgotten your childhood friend."
"Shizuku..?"
"Yes, it's your Shizuku Suzuki here Kiyotaka."
She began to cry while smiling until she slowly gave me a warm hug that felt like a break from the eternal cold I was used to.
"Your hair is black now huh?"
"Yeah... I thought it would make me harder to recognize me just in case I was found."
"That's a shame, I actually liked the golden color it was pretty."
"Then I'll dye it. Only because you like it though." She lifted her head from my chest and smiled at me then started to giggle while I couldn't hold back my smile.
"That'd be nice Shizuku although black is nice too, I like both on you."
"Still, I'll change it. You prefer that right."
Well I can't beat that logic I guess.
