Chapter 4

Shuichi's Perspective:

"Come sit!" She said excitedly. She patted a place next to her on the piano bench. I could see her trying not to squeal. I chuckled and sat down. "Kay, uhh just put your hands on the piano." "Okay, like this." I put my hands on the piano. "Uhh not quite, curve them a bit." She then placed her hands on top of mine. I felt her blush but continue as normal. Me on the other hand, I glanced down at her hands and my face turned red. She was really close to me. Not that I'm complaining. She curved her hands and I matched her movements. "Like that! Great!" She said excited. She began to tell me how to read sheet music and play the notes I read. It was uncomfortable but at the same time peaceful and fun. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed her presence. I stared at her. "What is it?" She laughed. "It's nothing." I said smiling. I should of told her how beautiful she looked. She smiled brightly. I played a little melody. She played it with me. Of course hers was better, more musical. Mostly though, we just laughed and talked. But when we played we sounded great. "You play really good, Shuichi." She smiled as we got up to leave. We had arched glanced at the clock. We were both afraid to admit we had lost track of time. "Your playing is beautiful." We stood facing each other. "So are you." I said. Ahh Why did I say that, she thinks I'm a creep- "What?" She laughed nervously and I saw her blush really bad. I quickly saved it. "So is yours" I laughed nervously too, blushing as well. "She looked embarrassed. Did she like me? Hopefully... Did I like her? Hmm- "Bye Shuichi!" She smiled and waved. "Goodbye Kaede."

Kaede's Perspective:

When I got to my room I couldn't hold it in, and I squealed with delight. He said I was beautiful. Wait, but he meant my playing. He was the nicest person I'd ever met. He was so sweet. He was so handsome. He was so amazing. He was so- I flopped on my bed. I felt like I had a crush on him. No, right? I thought about him and only him as I drifted off to sleep.

~{Kaede's Dream}~

I was walking through the dark school and saw a mirror. I was old. I saw everyone else and they were old. I screamed. "What is it Kaede?" Shuichi said. "We-were old!!" "You don't have to remind us." He laughed. "Monokuma said he'd let us out!!!" "Kaede, were stuck here until we die, there's no escape remember." !!!!!! What was going on. I ran around looking for an escape. As soon as I thought I'd found one, I walked through it. Then Monokuma came behind me. "There's no escape upupupu." Suddenly the floor burst from below me and I fell deeper into some sort of bottomless pit. The adult students looked down at me. "Kaede... why did she try to leave. She should know there's no escape." Shuichi said calmly. Then I felt my body slam against the ground. I woke up.
