Shuichi's POV:

It was my first day at Hope's Peak Academy and I was dreading it. Middle school was bad enough, but now I'll probably face even more bullying by a bunch of scary students with violent or athletic talents. Thats how it was in middle school, so I'm really not expecting anything more. I entered the building and looked at the clock on the wall. At 8 o' clock, there would be a ceremony to welcome all first years to the school in the gym. I didn't have much time so I began walking as quickly as I could.

When I arrived, there were a lot of other students. My anxiety skyrocketed as they all turned to me.
"Are you the last one to arrive?" Asked a girl in a maid outfit.
"I think so..." I replied shyly. Suddenly, the speakers created a loud noise before a voice echoed in the gym.
"Hello students. My name is Jin Kirigiri and I am the school's headmaster," said the voice, "for this years welcoming assembly, our third year's top student will be showing you around."
From behind the curtain's of the gym's stage, a boy in a green tie appeared with a bow.
"Hey, I'm Hajime Hinata. I'm apparently the most popular third year so I'll be showing off the school," explained the boy with a small smile. He jumped off the stage and began walking towards the door.
"Follow me guys," he said as he opened it and started guiding us around.

After hours of being toured, Hajime took us to the dorms and turned to us.
"Now, you each have to share dorms with other people. You might have to share with older years, but don't get scared. Most of 'em are really nice," he explained, "welcome to Hope's Peak." The crowd of students dispersed as they searched for their dorms. My eyes darted around, searching for mine when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Hajime staring at me with a smile.
"You're Saihara, right?" He asked as I nodded, "you'll be sharing a room with me and Naegi."
He grabbed my hand and led me to the dorm.

Hajime opened the door and let me inside. The dorms were rather big, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and bathroom. Sitting on the couch in the living room was a short boy with brown hair reading manga.
"Naegi, this is our roommate," said Hajime as he walked over to the kitchen. The short boy looked up, stared at me for a second, and then smiled. He put his book down and got up to greet me.
"Hi! I'm Makoto Naegi, its nice to meet you!" He said as he shook my hand.
"Shuichi Saihara, its nice to meet you too..." I replied nervously.
"Your stuff is over there and your new room is over there!" Said Makoto as he pointed at the bags near the door and then pointed at the room near the kitchen, "my room is over there, next to Hinata-Kun's!" I nodded, picked up my belongings, and took them into my room.

It was pretty empty with only a bed, a bedside table, and a lamp. I placed my bags on my bed and rummaged through them. I found a random blue shirt and some black leggings, and threw them on. I didn't have the energy to unpack so I just left them on the bed and walked out of my room. When I entered the kitchen, Makoto was sitting at the table with Hajime served dinner.
"Saihara-Kun, come join us! Hinata-Kun made this really nice meal," said Makoto as he gestured for me to sit down. I did as I was told and sat down with the two brunettes.
"Hamburger steak with salad and white rice. I hope you like it," said Hajime with a smile. I took a bite and I smiled with delight. I finished my mouthful and turned to the taller boy.
"This is really good...!" I said as I ate more.
"I'm glad to hear that," he replied.
"Hinata-Kun's cooking is always the best!" Said Makoto happily.
"Thats because I'm the only one who can cook in this household," said Hajime.
"I can cook!" Exclaimed the short boy as he pouted.
"The last time you tried to cook something, you nearly burned the dorm down," Said the taller boy as Makoto crossed his arms. I giggled quietly as the two bickered. Maybe sharing a dorm wouldn't be that bad.

All of us finished our food and sat on the couch to watch a movie. Makoto forced us to watch this anime film that he liked, and we ended up deciding to watch it. By the end of the film, Makoto was crying, I was crying, and Hajime was on the verge of crying.
"Next time, lets not let Naegi pick a film," said Hajime as I nodded in agreement.
"Hey! It was still a good film!" Said Makoto as he wiped his eyes.
"It was a good film..." I said timidly.
"See! Saihara-Kun agrees with me!" Exclaimed the short boy as the taller boy stood up.
"Anyway, lets get to bed, we all have classes tomorrow," he said as he walked towards his bedroom, "night guys."
"Night Hinata-Kun!" Said Makoto as he waved Hajime goodbye. The two of us also walked towards our bedrooms and waved each other goodbye. I put my bags on the floor and crawled into bed. As I closed my eyes, I wondered what my classes will be like.

I hope to have a good day tomorrow.
