Horkit (COTE)

Fuck being normal!

Once I stated that I had a plan, everyone looked warily at me.

"Oh god..."

"It's a Horikita plan..!"

"Everyone..."

"...Buckle your seatbelts!"

Ignoring the growing murmurs of concerned pleas, I continued, "Listen up, guys! I know I might have some crazy ideas sometimes,-"

"-And by 'sometimes', you mean 'all the time.'"

"-but this one is totally going to blow your minds. This plan is going to be so foolproof, it'll make Einstein look like a toddler playing with building blocks!"

I swear I could hear the whole class gulp nervously in unison.

"...W-well...what do you have in mind, Horikita?" Hirata asked me cautiously, as if he were approaching a ticking time-bomb.

I coughed and took a deep breath, determined to sell my foolproof masterplan! "For the paper shuffle test, we create the hardest possible questions for the other classes while making sure our own class is prepared with all the answers. We will cover every topic, from the basics to the most advanced material. We'll divide into study groups, each focusing on specific subjects, and create a master cheat sheet to ensure everyone knows the answers."

There was a tense, awkward silence...before-

"FINALLY!!! A NORMAL PLAN!!!" The whole class celebrated in unison as if the second coming of Jesus Christ has come, arms flailing around and all.

"Is this real?! Has the day finally come that Horikita isn't going to give us all a heart attack?!"

"Or make a fool out of all of us?!"

"Somebody pinch me!"

"Who are you and what have you done to Suzune?!"

Even Sensei examines me head to toe with the closest thing one could say to concern on her face. "...Did you hit your head or something? Are you okay?"

"Oh, c'mon! Is it really that crazy that I've come up with a normal plan this time around?!"

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Damn. Ouch.

"Oh, fuck you all!" I should've left these ungrateful sons of bitches to fend for themselves!

"I mean, as long as I'm not with her, I'm fine." I hear Ike say. I tried to hold in my incredulous chuckle as the venom and hatred in Ike's voice could just be heard whenever Sakayanagi Arisu is mentioned.

As we begun discussing what our plan of action should be, I secretly grinned deviously. I ain't gonna let this plan go the way they think it'll go because that'll booooriiing! Little do they know that I have a lil' plot twist up my sleeve~! But I don't want to spoil the surprise just yet!

After our periods of learning, it was not the first lunch. Just as everyone was exiting the classroom, I quickly took Sudo's hand, forcing him to follow me to the ends of the earth! I pulled him into an empty alleyway nearby and pushed him onto the wall. I held his arms tightly with my hands and got closer to his face, looking at him dead in the eyes as he blushed furiously. We could make out but that ain't why I brought us here!

I lifted up a finger between us, "Listen, Mary Jane. You can't tell anyone else this, but!...I have plan~!" I said in a mischievous tone that was more than enough to tell Sudo what I was talking about. I could visibly see the light in his leave and being replaced with an overwhelming shadow of despair. A dark shadow loomed above his eyes, "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
