Chapter #1

Not my Art;

3rd Person View:

 "ATTENTION! Class will now begin, although it seems that our newest attendent, "Y/N", is LATE!" Army exclaimed.

"S-Sorry I'm late.. I-I just got a little lost on the way h-here.." Y/N quickly  said as they dashed into the doorway..

"Being late results in a punishment, but since it IS your first day, I'll let it slide." Army said, a bit annoyed. "Take your seat, and DO NOT. get on my bad side, you'll regret it, Understand!?" He then said to Y/N, and then Y/N found a seat.

"I-I understand.." Y/N said nervously. It seems that Army has well on intimidating them.

2nd Person View:

"Alright then! Now with that out of the way.." He glared at you and the looked back at everyone else. "Let's begin with the basics of cooking curry!" He said with a smile on his face, afterall, he's curry obsessed.

Something is telling me that this may not go very smoothly this year..

You'll only have to hope that things can change.

1st Person View:

I took out the curry textbook that everyone else had and flipped to the appropriate page.

I tried to follow along as best as I could, and thought I has it covered.. but then I blinked and we already past 2 steps.. did I go unconscious or something?

I quickly tried to catch up as fast as I could, as I'd hate to disappoint Army.. but then I realized I left my curry on the stove for a bit.. too.. long.. It caught up a bit in a small flame. I immediately noticed and tried to put out the fire.. unfortunately only making it larger..

"Hmm.. I smell BURNT CURRY!" Army said angrily as he stared at me in the eye.

He immediately charged towards the fire and put it out quickly and swiftly.

"Now with that problem dealt with.. Another Problem.." Army said as he then looked at me after.. uh oh..

"Stay with me after class, but please STAY on the bench until the end of class, am I clear!?" Army said, quite low tempered, but was able to handle it.

"Y-yes Army, sir!" I said, a bit nervously on the inside, but I looked somewhat fine on the outside.. I hope..

"Good.. now go take a seat, Y/N." Army said sternly, waiting for me to take your place on the bench.

I sat down and waited for what seemed like forever.. worried about what Army might do to me.

I was pretty much a worrisome person, and everyone glared at me, it's like they knew something I didn't.

I braced for impact when the bell rang and everyone else was dismissed for the day.

"Y/N, could you please come over here?" Army said, sternly.

"Y-yessir.." I said, trying to not fall apart immediately.

Once I got over there, Army said, "Good.. now I don't want you leaving until ALL of these dishes are perfectly scrubbed and placed back for tomorrow, understand that Y/N?" He said in a dangerous glare.

"I-I understand." I said.

"That's good.. I'll be back in 15 minutes, DONT BREAK ANYTHING!" Army said very calmly, yet, so angrily.

"okay.." I said, hoping to earn his trust back, (sadly that doesn't work around here.)

He left and then I got to work with the dished and luckily finished faster than I expected. I dried off the counters before he returned too..

Then he came back, not really impressed at all, but it was fine, cause he dismissed me.

+ On The Way To Y/N's Dorm + / 3rd Person View:

It was a bit stormy outside of the tall school, so to Y/N's expectations, it was a lot darker than usual. The silent ambiance made Y/N's loneliness even more lonely.

Y/N noticed they were already at their dorm room.

The school originally moved Y/N into a dorm for 2 people, but the other person got themselves expelled within days of Y/N's arrival.

And now Y/N had the dorm to themselves. At least for now.

Y/N opened the door and stepped out of the empty hall way that was actually kind of freaking them out.

They lit up the small room with a nice basic candle they found.

It was nice and calming to Y/N. But they felt disappointed in themselves.

"W-why did I burn the curry today..." Y/N asked themselves, dreaded.

It was quite a lonely and sad afternoon for Y/N, but at last, it was time to head to campus cafeteria.

2nd Person *goofy stuff ahead*

You opened the cafeteria doors a tiny bit, trying to sneak over to your empty table in the corner.. you were LATE!

At least you weren't caught.. yet..

You were handed food, made by a professional cook.. ARMY!

I mean.. he was already the founder, the principal, the vice principal, all the teachers, the therapist (oof, lol) and probably the person who despised you here the most.

Why were you at this school?

Well I don't give a *woomy* and never knew why.

...

You were actually a transfer student from calamari county, because you moved and didn't have any money, (rip.)

...

Suddenly, a cold hand was on your shoulder.

"Y/N, you okay? You look very pale." A familiar voice said behind you..

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, thank you." You said before noticing it was none other than Army.

"Alright, just checking." Army said and then continued walking between all the other tables.

After he was gone, you finally were breathing again.

"T-that was quite a while.." you said to yourself, under your breath.

Army looked over at you, thinking he heard something from you, but then turned away and continued keeping an eye on all the students.

Army sort of freaks you out in that way.. he's so young to do this too.. but his family was pretty rich after all.

That was a rough day today.. but things will probably get better from here.. right..?

After you finished your meal, you quickly snuck your dishes into the dish rack and attempted to sneak out without having to wash it.. unfortunately Army caught you. 

"Y/N, I'm aware that you were LATE, and are now AVOIDING me. Is there a problem?" Army spoke with a stern tone, though an oddly concerned ending tone.

"Uh- um.." You couldn't sort your words at all.
