A Side I Never Knew

Chapter 2

Sup(this is for the few people who have seen this), sorry that I didn't post the second part until now. I don't really have a reason other than I was slightly concerned that anything one wrote in this chapter would feel forced. So, here we go.        Warning: I do not own any elements of this story except for my oc(don't worry this become a Saiki x OC), and I apologize for any writing that seems stupid or forced. For a legend/key for the different texts, see chapter one( don't know why you wouldn't have if you're reading this, but it's better to cover all the bases)

---------------------

This may have been a mistake. I know that I told myself that I would participate,  but this could backfire in so many ways. If you don't remember, I signed up for the school talent show. Winning would be easy, but this could draw attention to myself if I win. No, I'm going to do this. You, someone who might still think it's weird that I going to be in the talent show by choice. So as to not disappoint, I have another reason: I stand out a lot the way I've been doing all this. Several weeks ago, I intercepted this thought. 

'There goes Saiki, the kid who never does anything. Maybe we should do a story on him. He's got to have some reason for not participating in anything except his class play.'

The news club, a club even worse than Teruhashi's fan club. They getting desperate for story's, and it seems their wandering eyes have fallen upon me. By participating in the talent show, I can  throw them off my scent.

"Hey pal, good luck!" Seems Nendou wanted to wish me luck.

"May your battles be righteous and fruitful!" Kaido too.

"Up next, we have, um, Saiki Kusuo." Well, guess I'm next. You might be wondering what incredible performance I am going to use to wow the audience with. It's nothing too amazing.

---approximately 25 seconds later---

'That was beautiful!' That's what everyone in the audience thought, more or less. That's a bit much; all I did was sing the song at the end of the ending theme. It was only 25 seconds, and yet that was enough. I walked off stage to the sound of thunderous applause. If you're wondering why I chose to sing when my incredible, almost magic powers could basically allow me to do anything, the answer is that singing is about as far from psychic as it gets. It throws suspicion away from that notion.

---The next day---

"Hey, look! It's Saiki, that guy that won the talent show."

"I never noticed him before, but he's kinda of cute."

Chatter similar to this persisted throughout the day. At the end of the school day, a reporter from the news club asked me if I wouldn't mind an interview. Had it been one of the others, who not only twist facts, but straight out lie completely, but I could tell he was different, so I excepted.

"So, what inspired you write the short but incredible piece of art that you sung last night; it almost sounded like a song written for a particular someone."

*Well, it wasn't. I came up with it out the blue. I don't entirely know what inspired me to write it.* In reality, I do. It's just the song from the end of the episode ending.

"Is that so? Well, for my next question..." This pattern of him asking questions about the song and my performance lasted only about 5 more minutes, which is mostly due to my lack luster answers.

"Well, that about raps it up." I almost fell bad for him. He has to somehow turn my sentence long answers into a news story.

"For my last question, how well do you know Cana Otsuka?" I practically jumped out of my chair when I heard that girl's name. 

"Oh, so you do know her.  I just wanted to know. She's my cousin. She moved here recently and she's going to be in your class. She used to talk about someone named Kusuo with the surname Saiki, so I was hoping you might know her so you could show her around." I nodded slowly.

"So you'll show her around?" I nodded again. I immediately regretted it, but I needed to make peace with her. As I walked home, I wondered to myself.

*how has my only ever crush been doing.*

Sorry for how late this was. I went on a trip, and wattpad(or my device) wouldn't let me access or publish my drafts, so I had to write a new one multiple times in the hope that I could publish something so I would look like a totally jerk for saying I'll update, then not updating. I also sorry this chapter seems short and rushed. That because it is for the previously mentioned reasons.
