Who do you like? [Makoto x Hajime x Shuichi]

Chapter 2

Shuichi's POV:

My eyes fluttered open slowly as I regained consciousness. I sat up and stretched, got out of bed and opened the curtains, the bright light from outside blinding me. I got dressed into my uniform and walked out of my room. Hajime was already up making breakfast. He looked up from the stove and saw me.
"Hey, can you get Naegi up?" He asked as I nodded and walked over to Makoto's room.

I opened the door slowly and saw him sprawled out across his bed. I chuckled quietly, walked over, and nudged him softly. Makoto groaned and turned on his side.
"Naegi... its the morning," I whispered, "you have to wake up..."
"Mmmm... I don't wanna..." he said sluggishly. Suddenly, Hajime came into the room and pulled Makoto's blankets off him.
"Wake up, breakfast is ready," he said before leaving. The shorter boy groaned and mumbled something incoherent before finally getting out of bed. I also left the room and sat down at the table. Makoto joined us and Hajime served our breakfast, omelettes. My face lit up as I ate, making Makoto and Hajime smile. Once I finished, I placed my plate in the sink and walked into the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and hair before putting on my hat. I left the bathroom, grabbed my school bag from my bedroom, and began walking towards the door. I was stopped by Makoto.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked with a smile.
"To... class?" I replied, confused.
"Do you know where it is?" Asked the shorter boy as I mouthed a silent 'oh'.
"C'mon, I'll show you where it is!" He said as he grabbed my hand, waved Hajime goodbye, and dragged me out of the dorm.

A few minutes later and we arrived at my new classroom. I thanked him, waved goodbye, and walked inside. There were so many interesting looking people inside, so unique that I couldn't even describe it. I sat down in the corner of the room, nearest the window. I felt like they were staring at me. I lowered my hat so I couldn't look them in the eyes. I felt panic rise inside me. I was terrified. What if they all hate me? What if they started bullying me? What if-
"Hey, are you okay?" I looked up and saw a girl in a pink sweater, I couldn't see her face thanks to my hat.
"I'm fine..." I replied nervously. The girl sat next to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"You sure?" She asked, "you look anxious."
"I-I'm fine, really..." I answered. Suddenly, she lifted up my hat a little, so she could see my face. I saw hers too. She was very pretty with long blonde hair and purple eyes.
"I'm Kaede Akamatsu, whats your name?" She asked with a smile.
"Uh... Shuichi Saihara," I replied, "its nice to meet you, Akamatsu-San."
"Nice to meet you too, Saihara-Kun!" Said Kaede as she shook my hand.

"Oi Kaeidiot! This your new boyfriend or something?" Asked a girl with goggles as she walked over to us.
"No Miu-Chan," replied Kaede with a sigh, "Saihara-Kun, this is my girlfriend, Miu Iruma."
"Its nice to meet you, Iruma-San..." I said as I lowered my hat. Miu looked me up and down.
"Wow, you're scrawny as fuck! Don't you eat?" She asked curiously.
"I-I do... my body is normally like this..." I answered nervously.
"Damn, must suck lookin' like a bean pole all the time," said the girl, "anyway, I gotta borrow Kaeidiot for a sec!" Miu then proceeded to grab Kaede's arm and drag the blushing blonde away.

My eyes darted around the room, looking at all my classmates. Like I said before, they were really unique. They didn't look as boring and normal as I did. My attention turned to two boys at the front of the classroom. I think they were arguing.
"Shut up, Ouma! You're a dick!" Shouted a really tall boy.
"Well Momota-Chan, at least I don't look like a middle aged man!" Exclaimed a smaller boy with a checkered scarf. They started shouting at each other really loudly and I couldn't take it. I got up from my seat and walked over to them and got in the middle of them.
"Please stop!" I said, catching their attention, "its the f-first day in c-class, please behave..."
The two boys stared at me, which scared me. That tall boy came closer to me and I put my hands up defensively, thinking he was going to hit me. Instead, he pat me on the shoulder.
"He's right, sorry about that," he said with a smile.
"I'm not sorry!" Said the small boy as he stuck out his tongue.
"Ouma, you little-"
"Um... Ouma-San, its better if you both apologise..." I said as I looked over at him.
"Fiiine~ only because you're cute! I'm sorry Momota-Chan," said the boy with a giggle as I blushed at his comment, "anyway, I'm Kokichi Ouma! Nice to meet you!"
"It's nice to meet you too, Ouma-San," I said, "I'm Shuichi Saihara..."
"And I'm Kaito Momota!" Said the tall boy. I bowed apologetically for interrupting them and sat back down in my seat.

Soon, our teacher came in and stood at the front of the class.
"Hello everyone! My name is Chisa Yukizome and I'll be teaching your class this year!" She said happily, "normally I would be teaching the third year class, but since one of the teachers can't be trusted with you guys, I'll be your teacher!"
"Now, today's lesson is very special. You will be split up and going into different class, either second year or third year classes, and you'll be taught by your older peers," she explained with a smile, "now I'll tell you which class you'll be going to!"
Miss Yukizome began reading out names and classes. Then she got to me.
"Saihara-Kun, you'll be in class 77," she said, "lucky! You'll be with my old class!"
I nodded and began walking towards my assigned class.
