Academy Of Murder

Chapter 13

Alive students: 7

Chiya's P.O.V

Everything was dark and I didn't know what was going on. I couldn't see anything. I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't move at all. The only thing that I remembered that Tetsu was executed. But what happened to me?

"Chiya-chan?"

I heard a voice calling my name. That voice did sound familiar. Was it one of my alive classmates? Suddenly the darkness started to fade and I could feel that I was lying on something soft. Was that a mattress?

"Chiya-chan, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

The darkness around me disappeared completely and I could see the familiar ceiling and Suma staring at me in concern. I realized that I was in my own room laying in my own bed with Suma sitting beside me. She sighed in relief as I sat up straight.

"Oh thank goodness, you're okay." She said in relief. "You worried us all for a long time."

"W-What happened? For how long did I pass out?" I asked softly in confusing as I rubbed my eyes. I could feel by rubbing them that my eyes were dry. Must be from all that crying at the trial.

"Y-You suddenly passed out when the trial and execution was over." Suma said with a frown. "We all didn't know why it has happened to you, but you were unconscious for an hour or two."

"Oh. Sorry about that. I must have been tired." I muttered as I looked down. The last trial and execution really affected me. Tetsu became the victim from Monokuma's plan just like Mieko and Miwa. She didn't deserve to die. Everyone didn't deserve this fate.

"Hey now, don't be sad. You didn't do that on purpose. And you still alive, right? That's what still matters." She said as she tried to smile and cheering me up, but it didn't work. Suma noticed that and looked away a little bit as she started to sweat. Everything turned awkward.

Just then, the door of my dorm opened and Suma's awkward mood brightened a bit as we saw who it was. "Ah Nao! Good timing!" She said as Nao came inside.

He didn't had his hat and clown makeup on which made him look cute and handsome at the same time. Normally I would be happy to see him, but this time it didn't. I still felt sadness, guilt and despair inside of me.

"Suma, can you please leave us alone for a second?" I heard Nao ask. His voice somehow sounded serious which was rare. He only sounded serious when we have a trial or investigation going on.

"Umm...okay then. " Suma said confused as she stood up from my chair. "Then I'll let the others know that she is awake." And with that, she walked out of my room and left.

I could hear Nao's footsteps coming closer as I looked at my covers. I heard the chair moving and then I felt Nao's white gloves holding my hands. "Chiya-chan, I know that you're upset about everything going on here. We all are. But everything will be okay sooner or later." He said in a caring tone.

I kept looking down sadly as I slightly held my grip on his hands. "How would you know that? Do you really think that it will end so easily?" I muttered in sadness and anger. "Most of our students are already dead. They all are dead. And Monokuma will keep going no matter what until we all are dead."

"Don't say that!" He said it out loud as he increased his grip. "You shouldn't think like that, Chiya! This isn't you! What happened to the girl I know? The girl who tried to cheer everyone up. The girl who helped us all out whenever it was needed. The girl who is always kind and smiling. Do you really want to let that girl inside you disappear?"

My eyes widened as he told me about myself. I didn't really think that Nao was thinking about me like that. But his loud voice made me think that he is mad at my despair which made me feel more guilty.
