When I was little, I felt like I had the world in my hands with my talent! Sure, people learn their talents but mine was natural. My parent(s) were proud of me but they grew out of it when they got used to be flaunting it. A lot of people did, I never felt like I could be proud of my talent because no one else cared after they learned what I could do. I felt alone. I felt like giving up because I needed constant validation, hell I was a kid. My parent(s) grew tired of listening to me, and soon none of my friends at school wanted to talk about it. I was so passionate, yet the fire in my heart slowly began to die. February Second. I remember it well, I had gotten dropped off by my parent(s) to go to school, it was snowing. I stumbled my way into the building as I tapped the soft snow off of my boots. I changed shoes, walked to my classroom and thats how I always started my days, however my teacher had announced two new students that day. It peaked my attention, I don't think anyone else cared for a new student as everyone already collectively had their friend groups that they were sticking to, they didn't need a new kid to try and join them. It was morning when they came, my teacher was grading papers at her seat, while everyone else worked. The room was silent. The door to the classroom opened slowly as my eyes turned to the noise. Two children, and the Headmaster behind them. The Headmaster spoke softly not to interrupt anyone's work time. "Students, these are your two new classmates, please treat them with respect, and kindness." He waited for them to walk in before leaving obviously leaving the introductions to them and our teacher. Our teacher got up and quickly walked to the two. One of them had a braid down the side of her shoulder, and the other had shoulder length hair, it was messy. The teacher had them stand in front of the class with all of our attention on them.
"Students! As the Head Master said these are our new friends! You two my introduce yourself to the class." Both of them glanced at each other, it felt awkward as they both stared without a word. One of them stepped forward taking the lead, she moved her braid behind her shoulder. "I am Miyadera Shinguji! I am happy to be here with you all!" She smiled at the class, I think she had a charming attitude as most of the class smiled back to her. Now, all eyes were on the boy, he stood there trying to regain confidence and his cool. The teacher noticed the discomfort as his hands pulled onto the bottom of his shirt. The Teacher put her hand on the boys back, he looked to Miyadera, before looking back at the teacher. Then, it happened.
"That Kid just peed himself!" A majority of the class stood up to see and started making remarks such as 'ew!' or 'it stinks!'. I didn't stand up though, I looked to him, my heart hurt for him. He was just nervous..he felt out of place. Like me. Clearly he was overwhelmed by the laughing and remarks he ran out of the room, Miyadera followed right after him. I sat there, remarks ringing in my ear, listening to the amount of people who were so quick to judge. I contemplated getting up and going to the hall. Instead of reacting, my body just did it, I got up from my seat and rushed out of the room.
             When I got to the hall, the boy was slouched up against the wall of the hallway, he was crying. It hurt my heart to see someone in pain, I began to walk forward as I took each step gently. Miyadera turned around and looked at me. "Oh..I'm sorry I thought you were one of the students laughing at my brother. My dear brother is very sensitive, he doesn't understand how to really communicate properly with the world." I stood there as I watched her talk for him..it felt kind of strange, almost as if she had always spoke for him, like he never got a word out. Perhaps that's why he had trouble introducing himself? I realized I looked crazy just standing there in my thoughts so I quickly walked in front of the boy and slouched down. "..Excuse me?" I said gently, his sister looked confused to what I was doing although she knew it was nothing of harm. "..Hi- I..I'm R/N I'm sorry my class is very rude..! But..that doesn't mean that you have to run and hide. Remember kids are just- stupid! They'll realize that soon. A..Anyway! haha..I got caught off track there! I can be your friend!" I stuck out a hand to him, he glanced at it shortly before looking to his sister. She nodded, then he grabbed my hand.

         "R/N!" Shit! I jolted up, was I asleep!? In class!? Oh nonono! "..Yes Mr Monodam!?" I heard a few quiet giggles behind me, I sat in the second row of the class, so he could tell when I was asleep. "..You fell asleep again, try to stay awake for next lesson, the day is about to end." He wasn't rude about it, and he was definitely more laid back then Mr Monokuma. I got up, fixing my uniform. Some lint had fallen onto it as I was asleep. "R/N." I turned, oh! Korekiyo. "Hey! Kiyo I..Uhm..what did I miss in class?" Korekiyo laughed, He always wrote notes down for me in case I had fallen asleep. "Here." He handed me the notes and I took them from his grasp, thanking him. "R/N, You need to sleep more. I understand you are nervous about the talent exam, but it does not excuse your lack of sleep." I frowned, the talent exam. Right, The talent exam was a exam two or more students took when there was more than one ultimate of a certain thing. For example, if someone is the ultimate chef, no one else can be or else they go through the talent exam to see who really is the best. If one of them fails they have to leave the school or join the reserve course. I spoke back to him, grabbing my bag from the side of my desk in a hurry as the bell rang. "..It's so nerve wracking though, you out of all people know how much I love my ultimate! I cannot lose that title!" My shoulders fell as I exhaled in dismay. Korekiyo stood in silence, he still wasn't the greatest with talking but he always tried to cheer me up. "..How about we go out for lunch, tell me what you are most nervous about R/N..I cannot promise to help you, yet to ease your worries about the exam." He put a hand onto my shoulder and rubbed his thumb along the curve that connected my arm to my shoulder. I stood there for a second soaking in the peace that this gave me. "..I would like that- but I don't have any money.." I said, I almost wanted to look in my bag again to see if I had just a bit of spare change. "It will be on me, We can go to the cafe nearby that has your favorite homemade shortcakes." I smiled, and nodded. "That sounds lovely! Would your sister be coming?" That questioned looked like it drained him, after all the years me and Korekiyo have spent together, I helped him realize how abusive his sister really was. I didn't like her, but I acknowledged her presence in his life. "..My sister will most likely come, which defeats the entire purpose of us having lunch." He spoke softly, putting a hand up against his chin to think. "..You could just tell her what it's for!" I suggested. "No. She will then question why I'm helping you instead of her." We both stood in silence, although it was broken my the sound of walking, Korekiyo turned around, while i tilted my head to the side to look at who it was. "Korekiyo- R/N! Oh..what a surprise seeing as you are the only person my brother speaks to..besides me..of course." Miyadera walked in and closed the door behind her, no one else was in the classroom as everyone left for the day, even Mr Monodam. "Miyadera-" Korekiyo spoke before she cut him off. "-Are you ready to go home Kiyo?" She was still the same, hardly could let him speak not to mention she walked up to him to hold his arm. What the actual fuck. "..Me and R/N are going to their favorite cafe this evening. To study for our class final." I raised my eyebrows, even though it was on the spot at least it was very specific what he had wanted to do. "..Let me come with you guys, I like the shortcakes there." She spoke, Korekiyo looked to me, then back at Miyadera. "You have no reason to go though dear sister." Miyadera seemed shocked by this answer, as her grip on Korkeiyo's arm loosened fully, she looked to me and then to Korekiyo. "Well You could have just said you didn't want me to come!" Miyadera took it oddly well, she put a hand to her chest and looked at Korekiyo almost offended in a way. "Miyadera, I can take Korekiyo home after, we don't live too far from each other, I promise he will be safe." Miyadera smiled at me. "You've always been so responsible R/N but before I go is it okay if I speak to you alone Korekiyo?" He nodded. "I'll wait for you outside Kiyo." I waved to him, his sister grabbed his arm again and walked him to the back of the classroom as us three parted.
