I stepped out of the elevatar as I made sure I collected all my belongings. I walked out of the apartment building and walked to Budo-ga Oka, my new school. I was always seen as the weird kid, the outcast. Because of all those hallucinations, those visions, those panic attacks I'd have at random times were so strange to other people, I had the reputation of the weirdo in school.  I wish I never did.

The walk to school was peacful up until I arrived towards the school. I saw a group of female students huddled around one singular guy. I rolled my eyes and continued to walk away from the scene, I hate popular students. Unwanted attention is as bad as death to me, having all eyes on you gives a launch of anxiety you don't want, it's a great fear I have. I hope this school isn't as bad.

"Josuke!" One of the girls exclaimed. A boy with a pompadour turned to where the voice came from and waved. He seems proud to be popular. I gazed towards him and then walked back inside with disgust.

I looked down to my shoes and plugged my earbuds in. I played my favorite track of music as I walked down the hallway. Covering my ears as I block out everything with sounds that calm me. The music player was a gift from my father before he went back to the military. I walked down towards the office of the school.
".. Oh are you a new student?" A staff employee asked. "Yes. Uhh Ahiriko Ayato." I responded awkwardly with. I'm not good with talking. "Ahh yes. Your class is 1-B! Have a good day!" She gave me a slight smile as I walked out. I walked into my classroom and asked my teacher where I would be sitting. She pointed towards the front seat next to the window. I paced my walking and went towards the empty desk. I put down my bag and looked outside the window to see that it was bright outside, birds chirping until I heard students walking into class. It was 8:15 so it was reasonable.

As everyone settled down I got weird stares towards me. That just gave me anxiety. I saw flashes of light colors with every sweat I broke. I didn't like the attention I was getting. I kept getting looked at. I kept getting weird stares. I didn't like it at all.
"Settle down class! Now we have a new student, his name is Arihiko Ayato." The teacher pointed me out. I put my head down instantly and started pacing my breathing. In... out.. in... out. It was interrupted when I got called up to introduce myself. "Arihiko. May you come up to introduce yourself?" The teacher tilted her head as she asked. I nodded and slowly got up. ".. My... my name is... -" I swallowed down a portion of the fear I had, trying to clear my throat. ".. Is Arihiko Ayato.. I am 16 and...-" I got cut off by a student running into class late. A boy with the same pompadour. He apologized for interrupting class. I glanced towards him and instantly looked away. Shit...
"I'm sorry I am late Mrs.Akari!" The pompadour boy said. He then looked at me and looked shocked. He then looked away embarrassed. "It is rude to interrupt someone introducing themselves. This is also the third time you've come in late without an excuse. Lunch detention for you." The teacher scolded. They apologized again and walked back to their seat. "You may continue!", "... No thank you..sensei". I sat back down embarrassed. Why'd I think I'd ever survive here.
