I rub my forehead as I wake up. I groan, trying to recall what was happening before I fell asleep.

Hope's... Peak. That's right. Hope's Peak University.

I sit up, realizing that I'm not actually on a bed. My vision slowly starts to clear up, revealing that other tables are in this room. I blink a few times, noticing that it looks a lot like an ordinary cafeteria. There aren't any windows, but I shrug it off, starting to get up.

As I walk towards the door, I start to think about how I got here.

This is Hope's Peak, right?

I try to recall anything, but I can only remember two things.

1. I'm a student of Hope's Peak University.

2. My name is Karma Mccollough.

I feel like there's more I should be remembering, but I can't think of anything!

I grit my teeth, but I'm drawn away from my frustration when I hear the door slide open. I open my eyes, seeing a girl with pink hair and cat ear headphones. She smiles. "Oh, I found someone! I'm not alone after all!"

The door slides closed behind her by itself after she steps into the room. I smile. "Hi. Do you... know where we are?"

She thinks. "I'd assume Hope's Peak University, but I'm not sure."

I sigh. "Alright. I was hoping that someone would have answers."

She nods. "I'm afraid I don't have those answers." She suddenly smiles. "I should introduce myself."

She grins. "I'm Hope. I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student."

I smile back

I smile back. "I'm Karma. I... don't really remember having a talent..."

I look at her a bit more

I look at her a bit more. "So, Hope, does HPU even have Lucky Students?"

She shrugs. "I mean, I was allowed to go there after being picked for Hope's Peak High School. If not-" She giggles. "-I guess I just got lucky."
