    Karma's POV
    My alarm went off at five in the morning, it wasn't even light out. I slammed my face into my pillow and groaned as I stretched my arm as far as I could to slap the snooze button on my alarm however o continued to miss the oval button and the song Not Afraid continued to get louder and louder until my Pinter finger finally smacked the thing silent.
    "Karma get your ass up we have class." Asuno's annoying voice pulled me from the sleep that had nearly greeted the back of my eye lids.
    "No." I wined, but against ever fiber of my being I pulled myself from the warmth of my fuzzy blankets. Nearly crying at the loss of my bed.
"Stop being a baby." Asuno demanded as he sent a pillow flying through the air towards my face.
    I didn't bother dodging, it was only a pillow after all, instead I grabbed it and glared at the orange haired man who was now fully dressed in a white shirt, blue tie and dark jeans. "I hate you." I simply stated as I pulled on a navy blue t-shirt and blue jeans.
    "The feeling is mutual." Asuno shrugged and grabbed a pile of books off his desk.
    "Aww they're acting like a married couple!" Squealed a high pitch voice. I glared at the door way only to see my girlfriend and her roommate smiling in at us. YN wore her traditional first day of school blue tie up shirt with a blue jean skirt, while Nora looked like an anime character. She wore grey leggings and a long pink shirt that read BOOP!
    "Don't you know how to knock?" Asuno glared.
    "Nope." Nora teased. "And I refuse to learn, Grumpy." Nora fired back and patted Asuno head causing him to fume in anger.
    "So noisy." I complained as I tried to rub the sleep from my eyes. I wasn't much of a morning person, I found mornings to be useless, insignificant and the hell of all human beings. Especially when that morning fell on a Monday. Damned Monday.
    "Here." I turned to see YN smiling at me holding a large cup of coffee.
    "Thanks." I took the coffee and took  a long swig of the warm liquid.
"You're welcome, I know you're not a morning person." YN shrugged. "At all." She added.
"You're the best." I smiled as the four of us walked out the door, books in hand.
"I know." YN teased.

Your POV
It wasn't long before Karma, Asuno and I got to our first class, Education 101. Nora wasn't in this program, she said something about going into the secret service program so she could legally shoot someone. Anyone who wanted to go into education had to take this class to learn what it took to be a teacher or in Asuno's case, a principle. Although, I doubted that Kugeuka University would teach what Kuro Sensei believed about teaching.
    I scanned my text book, as I waited for class to start, Karma, was napping beside me with his text book safely tucked under his head. I felt sorry for him, he wasn't a morning person, and now he was rooming with someone who would be his best friend or worst enemy.
"Good morning class." The professor greeted, as she walked briskly into the classroom. She was a red head like redder than Karma, she was fairly young and pretty with a no shit vibe. I could already see most of the boys drooling over their note books. I just rolled my eyes and elbowed Karma waking him up from his slumber.
"My name is Professor Sunday, I would like all of you to look around the room." The professor said sharply.
     We all did as we were told partially because when someone tells you to look it is a natural reaction to do so, and particularly because we are to scared to disobey.
    As I looked around the room a saw the large room was only a quarter full, if even that, and it was all people I had seen around E Dorm.
    Oh no they didn't... I prayed.
     "As you can see you are now back in high school." Professor Sunday announced. "Personally I do not agree with the Dean's decision to make your college career miserable, but I also like my job. So, I wish you all the best of luck this year." With that she turned and began scribbling on the board leaving all of us in a rush to snap out of our shock and begin to follow her.
    "I hate your father." I simply said to Asuno not looking away from the board.
    "How does he have this much power over the college anyways?" Karma asked.
    "He owns the University as well." Asuno shrugged not knowing why Karma and I were as pail as ghosts now.
     "Great, looks like we're on the bottom again."

Asuno's pov
After class we all had a few hours before our next class started so we all desired to go back to the dorm and attempt to beat Nora in a game of cookie poker.
"And then Ren was like..." Nora was saying as we approached the small tan building. Karma opened the door and my mouth dropped at what I saw. The carpet was wet and soggy, drenched with water coming from the over flowing sink in the dorm kitchen, and the walls were covered in silly string with giant painted letters spelling out A CLASS.
"Are you kidding me!" Yelled a girl I recognized from class. "It hasn't even been one day yet!"
A small kid with blue hair and glasses ran up to the sink and shut off the running faucet.
"We better get cleaning." Growled Karma. I had the feeling this had happened before. Oh ya we flooded their classroom on the first day of high school. I thought to myself. Yikes. I was a jackass.
"Here ya go grumpy." Nora grinned as she handed me a mop.
"Thanks pinky." I grabbed the mop And began helping the other mop up the water and wash the walls. It took three hours but we all finally got the place deflooded and the walls cleared. Unfortunately we couldn't get the red paint off the walls but an art major painted over it, but now there was a giant octopus in the place of the red words. Don't ask me why because I don't know, but Karma and YN begged for it. So now the weird yellow octopus is our mascot.
We all laid in the now dry floor of the common room, resting from our day of ridiculous classes and cleaning.
"This was not how I planned my first day." I groaned.
"Ya well, welcome to the bottom your highness." Said one of the boys who was part of cleaning. I think he was a Economics Major.
"Thanks. I grinned at the ceiling. "Happy to be here."
"Are you though?" YN asked. "I mean this is only the beginning, it gets worse."
"Much worse." Nora added. "At my school my friend Juan got bullied all the time." Nora frowned deeply. "It got so bad he moved."
    "Not only are you now an E but you used to be an A. You'll take a lot of crap for that man." Karma warned.
    "Well as you said welcome to E. I'm well aware what A is capable of Karma. I bullied all of you for three years, remembers?"
    "Well then." Karma stretched it his hand. "Welcome to E, and this time I mean it."
    "Thanks man." I nodded and grasped Karma's hand. Now if three years ago you told me I would be an E and be making peace with Karma Akabane, I would had laughed in your face, but now it didn't seem like such a bad thing.
    "AWW I smell a bromance coming on!" Nora squealed as she jumped up and down hugging YN.
    "Shut up Pinky!" I yelled. "This isn't some girls fan fiction!"

Hi there! So sorry this took so long, college is hell. I hope it was worth the wait.
