CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE: What is love?

Prologue

The piano, my favourite instrument. I love it with all I can muster. It's a shame that it has become the only thing I truly ever loved.

I look at the fond memories it gave me and it leaves me with this pained and agonising thought.

An urge to seek something that I do not possess, each word carved into my mind has told me to desecrate such an urge.

From the start I never experienced anything out of the ordinary, but from what I learned; there is nothing ordinary in this world in the first place.

I was born and raised in a facility known as the white room, it was in that place where I learnt the cruelty of the world. Naturally, it was also the place where I learnt that the world is truly big and small. In that place was my world, outside of it was everyone else's world. So grant me an example of anywhere, that shows how unfortunate I am to still be living in this world. I find my world oddly demonic, it is certainly odd in every crevice and nook. However, it is in that place where my world resided.

In that place, I found solace in the fact that I had only one single redeeming quality. Denial, I was in constant denial and loss at what I should do when I leave. In that world I was lost, that place never gave me guidance; the only thing it brought me was denial.

I wanted to deny everything it taught me, I wanted to deny how unfortunate my life had become, I wanted to deny how terribly I had to suffer.

I wanted to deny it all, I wanted to deny the results, the looks and the ideals.

I hated that place because it was only world I knew. I too hated it because it stripped me away from everything. I was tired of denying and shrinking into this pit of self wallowing. So I tried, I tried my best to cope with it. In my own way I found solace in the fact that I could try and deny my suffering, pretending to be somewhere I am not.

Granted that my thoughts never saw the light of day, my eyes tell the true story of what I had been through. What they see as nothing shows everything.

They do understand how cruel the world is, they understand fully how terrible fate can be, they fully comprehend that I was just fixed with misfortune from the start.

However, now that I am here it seems like that fate has changed a bit.

"Hey, Ayanokouji kun, are you coming with me to look for a partner for Sudo kun?" Horikita asked me, she was in front of my desk as she waited for my response.

"Yeah, I'm going now." I replied. "Where's Sudo? Wasn't he with you just now?" I asked as I looked over her shoulder to see no one there. That was until I saw a figure of a red haired man at the frame of the door.

"So that's where he was." I thought before Horikita brought my attention back to her.

"He's waiting for us outside, let's go now, class is over and Sudo kun also has his basketball to get to." She didn't wait for me and started walking towards the door where Sudo was.

I quickly packed up my school books and made my way towards them, not before sending a glance to Kei. She too was on the lookout for a partner, but she knew that if she needed any help she would come to me.

"If you need any prospects for a partner don't hesitate." Was what I conveyed in my look.

"Gotcha, good luck." Was what I got from her before she turned her gaze away from me.

As I was now standing with Sudo and Horikita he gave a nod before he turned his eyes to Horikita.

"Yo Ayanokouji, Suzune, I have basketball in nearly an hour so let's do this quick. I appreciate both of your help." He said.

"Well, we'll get you partner, but with your credentials it may be tough, we'll try for today but would say we would need to try again another time. Do you understand Sudo kun?" Horikita responded, she was very determined it seems at getting this job done. "Let's go to the other classes first before going to the-." I quickly cut her off which earned me a look of confusion.

"I don't think that is a good idea." I began, which caused Sudo to also look at me curiously. "It's the end of the day and there are probably not going to be many students in the classroom in the first place." I added, which caused Horikita and Sudo to actually mull over their approach. I continued, "Also, they too must be out scouting for students in our year for partners. So the mall would be the ideal place to go to first." I finished elaborating, Horikita seemed to have reached a consensus as she glanced between me and Sudo before sighing.

"Hahh... I see where you are coming from, let's go to the mall first." She looked at Sudo who acknowledged her before she turned to me. "Let's go." She ordered and myself and Sudo followed.

During our walk we came across a couple of lone first years, Horikita and Sudo decided to take the initiative and promptly asked them questions. Ranging from their names and class to who their partner was.

None of them were a match for Sudo. Additionally, Sudo seemed to have lost a bit of spirit as he was rejected.

That was until a scarlet haired girl introduced herself to us, she certainly caused a disturbance as she technically caressed Sudo. However, she caused the most trouble for me whenever Horikita Suzune decided to make me cook for her.

"I'm not a good cook at all. This is for Sudo and she put the task of her acceptance into my hands, this is stupid." I thought as I reluctantly looked back at that moment. "Now I will have to buy and cook for her, my points will be drained by the end of this..." I looked at my phone to see the remaking points.

"56,798 points..." I muttered as I saw the number.

When I parted ways with Sudo and Horikita ten minutes ago I decided to roam around the mall, nothing really stood out other than the usual. However, I couldn't help but gawk at the new first years. Just last year, I was exactly like them and explored the various places inside the school campus.

"Hahh... time really flies...." I said under my breath.

"Excuse me? You are Ayanokouji Kiyotaka yes?" From the corner of my eye I could see who it was that spoken to me.

She looked at me dubiously as if she doubted what was in front of her.

"I am, who might you be?" I replied, her blonde hair laid neatly behind her. Her blue eyes made direct eye contact with mine.

"Oh, I'm sorry I guess I haven't introduced myself. My name is Nanase Tsubasa." The girl known as Nanase Tsubasa introduced herself and extended a hand towards me. "It's nice to meet you." She said with a smile.

I gently shook her hand.

"It's nice to meet you too Nanase." I replied.
