Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc: K.I.P

Chapter 3: Headache Trauma (Part 1)

I didn't notice that the trial doors had opened. I don't know long I stayed curled up on the ground. As soon as I got up; I ran to my dorm, I closed and locked my door. I didn't think I could but I cried even more. I sat in front of my door until the nighttime alarm rang. The stupid bear said the same thing he says every night. I debated if I should even move. Finally with a lot of self-coaxing I got up and got into bed. I couldn't sleep and barely did that night. I kept seeing....him in my mind. The bike cage, the bright lights, and then..an empty bike. I would never see him again. I...I could have...done something....It's my fault it happen...If...I had went with Mondo the night it happen or at least somehow convinced him not to go...I could have stopped it. Neither Chihiro or..Mondo would be dead. 

The morning announcement rang before I knew it. I stayed in bed way longer than I ever had. After I heard about seven different people walk by my door, I finally got up. I didn't want to but I did. My face hurt and felt warm from all the crying I did.

"S-suck it....up.....right...now" I told myself as I went to my door. I took a deep breath before unlocking it and leaving. I notice that everyone was coming downstairs. Did the bear give us another floor? I didn't care what was up there, I just wanted to get to the cafeteria. I was thankful that I wasn't the last one there. The empty chair next to me just made my heart sink even further. I barely moved and didn't say anything as everyone piled to our table. The screen on the wall flickered on. Great, another announcement. The bear laughed before he spoke.

"Hop to it half-asses! Toddle your haggered little selves over to the gymnasium! And one the double! And try not to get lost on the way. Explanation is fourth-coming" The screen flickered off. I heard a collective groan as we all got up and left. I didn't care that I was the last one out. When we got to the gym Togami and Toko were already there.

"Huh..you guys are already here? That didn't take long.." Makoto said,

"So..what came of the homicidal maniac?" Celeste asked.

Toko huffed in annoyance "Why is the peanut gallery gawking at me?" She said.

"A simple sneeze reverts her back to her cheerful self.." Togami remarked.

"Seriously? That's a bit cliche.." Hifumi stated.

"Like you have any room to talk.." Toko said

"Hail hail the gangs all here." I heard the bear say. We all looked at the stage. Monokuma was suddenly sitting on top of his podium.

"What sadistic scheme have you cooked up now?" Togami asked.

The bear laughed again. "That's the million dollar question!" It stated. Suddenly many, many stacks of money landed on the stage. It piled almost taller than the bear "Well ten million actually. Yes kiddies, this mountain of moo-la can be yours, if you graduate! Pretty sweet right?" It continued, trying to entice us with the cash.

"That's a...l-lot of cash.." I heard Toko say.

"Is life so cheep you label it with a price tag?" Sakura asked, she clearly was enraged.

"I know what your trying to do, we're not going to massacre each other for money! Period!" Makoto stated.

The bear laughed AGAIN. It was starting to irritate me. "Sure, whatever you say Saint Francis. I'll just leave you fine up-standing co-eds to scratch out a living as professional students!" It said as it and the motive lowered back into the stage.
