I stared at the flyer. "Oma-kun? What's that?" Mitusmi-chan asked, my other friends following behind. "Just a flyer. You guys shouldn't worry about it too much. I'm gonna go to my room, so you guys should sleep. I'll join you for movie night in a bit." The others nodded as I closed the door to my room. I logged onto my laptop and looked at the flyer again. There was a website for sign-up. It said I would sign up and it they liked me, I would go to their studio to record my video audition. I clicked on the website and started reading.

I stared at the sign-up sheet, filling out each section. Why do you want to be in Danganronpa? I hesitated before typing my response.

"I want to be in Danganronpa because all my life I've struggled and suffered what I've never wished for anyone else. Being in Danganronpa would mean a whole new life I could live and a place where I could be strong. People would fear me instead of me fearing them. I could become one of the greatest Danganronpa characters in the game. I would be someone like Nagito Komaeda, but better! I promise if I make it, I'll make an even larger plot twist than Komaeda did!"

I stopped typing and clicked the submit button, getting off my computer and grabbing blankets to watch the movie with my friends.

I woke up the next morning, rubbing my eyes. I checked my phone and saw that I had a text message from Saihara.

Saihara: Hey Oma-kun! Did you sign up for Danganronpa last night? I think a timid and kind person like you would be good like Tsumiki! Then again, you could fill whatever role you wanted in the game! I look up to people like Hinata, but I really like Komaeda too! He played a great role in the game! What role do you want to play?

Oma: Hey Saihara. I signed up last night. I like Tsumiki, but I look up to Komaeda more. A plot twist like his would be nice, don't you think?

Saihara: That's awesome! We can meet up after school to talk about it! At the Danganronpa cafe? They have really good Oowada pancakes!

Oma: Sounds nice. See you in class

Saihara: See you Oma-kun!

I smiled and turned off my phone, grabbing two biscuits and scarfing them down, careful not to wake my sleeping friends. I grabbed my school bag, changed into my school clothes and slipped on my shoes, heading to school. "Oma-kun! Let's walk to school together~!" I turned and saw Iruma and Amami standing in the parking lot of my apartment, smiling wide. "Hey guys! You signed up for Danganronpa, right?" The two nodded, pulling out their phones. "The Danganronpa Team works fast! They already sent us notifications! It says that we can only check it when the first bell for school starts though." I looked at them and pulled out my own phone. Sure enough, there was a notification for Team Danganronpa on there. Do they want me? I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket, messing with the Komaeda key chain I had.

"Let's go then!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived at school and opened the doors. Everyone was checking their phones, laughing and smiling together as they talked loudly I was able to pick up on some of the words that they were saying. "What Ultimate Talent did you want?" "Ultimate Dancer would be awesome!" "Asahina was my waifu man!" "No way! I was a sucker for Nanami!" "Guys...we all know Kirigiri was the best Waifu." "I absolutely fucking love Junko!" "Same bro! Junko is the best!" "Naegi is so cute! He's like a little bean!" "Hinata was totally a better protagonist than Naegi!" "You wanna non-stop debate about that!?" I plugged my ears. All these people are talking about Danganronpa? "Hey! I guess everyone in the school tried out! If I make it, I swear I'll prove myself better than these fucking shitheads! Right Amami?" Amami laughed and straightened his tie. 

"Isn't it better to just remain calm so you can prove your maturity? If I was in the killing game," Amami started, his facing turning sinister, "I would make sure I was the only one left." Iruma smiled and hugged Amami. "Weren't you one of the last survivors in the 52nd killing game? Isn't awesome? You get to return no matter what!" Amami smiled and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. Amami was incredibly popular for being in the last killing game. Everyone in school knew his name and that his chosen talent was the Ultimate Adventurer. Amami is so cool. I want to be cool like him. "Hey, fuckface!" I heard Momota's voice before I saw him. He landed a hard punch to my face, knocking me to the ground. I could taste blood in my mouth, but I ignored the horrible taste. Akamatsu stood behind him, expressionless. "What do you want Momota? A history lesson? I could teach you what happens when you mess with someone like me again." 

Momota scoffed and raised his fist again. "Momota..don't you get tired of this?" Amami asked, but got jabbed in the stomach. Iruma held Momota's arm. "You can't hurt my friends you asshole!" Iruma hugged tighter, trying to lower his fist. "Get off me you bitch! You chose horrible friends!" Momota shouted as he threw Iruma back into the wall. Iruma! Amami! My brows furrowed and I reacted before I could think.

"Momota!" I lunged at Momota and socked him right in the face, knocking him to the ground. Everyone looked around in shock at what I had just done. I couldn't restrain myself as I began kicking Momota in the stomach. I didn't care about the words of shock and fear I heard. I pushed all arms that tried to restrain me. Blood started to come out of Momota's mouth, but that wasn't my concern. I stopped kicking him and stared at his body. "Don't you ever mess with me or my friends again. I don't want to repeat history." 

I helped Amami off the floor and slunk Iruma on my shoulder as I carried them both to the nurse. "Oma-kun, wait!" I heard Saihara's familiar voice call out to me. I turned and faced him. "You looked so cool! You will definitely get into Danganronpa with that sort of attitude for sticking up for your friends! You're the coolest person I've ever met!" Pink flushed my cheeks as I stared at Saihara, dumbfound. Saihara...thinks I'm cool? He only thinks Danganronpa is cool! I... I smiled and waved to Saihara. "See you in Danganronpa then." I hoped he caught on.
