Shuichi's POV

Like any other day, I wake up and get ready for school. The only thing I care about in this world is a show no one watchs- or at least admits to it, so I stay quiet throughout the day. I put on my hat as I walk out of my apartment, living alone is not as fun as it would seem. I sighed, walking to school, it only took 10 minutes to get to it. I walk past the only people I recognized; Kaito with Maki as they play games on their phones, Rantaro having a simple chat with Ryoma and Korekiyo, Gonta hanging out near Angie and Tenko as Himiko tries to get involved, Kaede is chatting with Kirumi and Tsumugi, and Miu is harrasing Kiibo as always. This is normal. Normal. Normal.. I see the same thing every morning. Normal.. It's normal for me to be alone. 15. Uneven number. I soon realized I was already in class and sat at my desk, staring out the window and dazing off..

Ding dong

Oh! Class is starting already? I looked away from the window to see everyone in class, weird. Today feels weird. The teacher walked in and caught the classrooms attention. "Students", he started, "we have a new student today! Give a warm welcome to him, for he will be apart of your class starting today." Normally, I wouldn't have cared, but when he walked in something happened. A purple-haired, voilet eyes and pale skin boy walked in and faced the class. He was fidgeting with his hands, "H-Hello, I'm Kokichi O-Oma.." He gulped, nervous. Nervous? How despairful, Kaito will definitely embarrass him everday. The teacher told him to sit in front of me and he did as told. Kokichi Oma. Something is different about you. 16. Even number. Even..? Today feels weird. Weird. Different...

Ding ding

The lunch bell? Another day of being al- "H-Hey.." My eyes went straight foward as I looked into those shy violet eyes. "Hi.. Kokichi, right?" The pale boy nodded, fidgeting. Fidgeting. Despairful. "A-and you are..?" He said, sounding.. Impatient? "Of course, I'm Shuichi Saihara. Nice to meet you!" I smiled. Smiled? That's.. Weird. Weird. Wh- "M-may I have lunch with you..? S-sorry if that's a bother- it's just you s-sit right behind me and-" "It's fine, go ahead!" Why!! I eat alone. I'm alone. He smiled, why? He sat with me- why- he started eating- why?! I started eating my own lunch, staring. Stare. He's too distracted by his own food. I examined him more, his face seemed soft, his eyes where round, so much potential. How despairing, he's so weak. He'll be bullied afterschool, probably. No, I don't want that! Wait-how come? I love watching despair in those bullied people. So why is it different with him.. Is this my goal..? Keep him safe? Will he like that- will I like that?! My goal, it was... To join Danganronpa. They stopped after there 50th season, so that goal was shattered completely.

"O-Oh! Class already..?" I snapped back into reality as I heard Kokichi speak. Was I staring? He didn't seem to notice.. "Well.. T-thank you for letting me enjoy lunch with you!" I nodded, and he turned back to face the front of the class. I sighed, feeling eyes on me. Why? Well, it's because I never talk. I could tell Miu was watching me intensely since she sits next to me. Whispers, i heard them all.
"Woah, Shuichi talks?"
"Thought that kid was mute!"
"Maybe he likes the new guy!"
"No way, that newbie forced Shuichi to speak."
"Awh look a dog speaking for his owner! Woof woof!"
"Haha shhh Kaito, he might hear you!"
"Well Kaito isn't wrong, but the grape boy sure ain't worthy being called an owner."
They continued, as if I couldn't hear it. Hear. I hated hearing all of it. The class starting and I held my hands over my ears to mute the sound..

Ding dong

Ah, class is finally over. Thank the stars that tomorrow is a weekend, I'll be all al- "U-Uhm, hey Shuichi??" I looked up to see Kokichi looking at me, seemingly sad. "Yes, Kokichi?" I could care less. "Well,-" I don't care. "-here's my number.." I don't- "What?" ... I said that out loud didn't I. "H-here's my number! I thought m-maybe we could be friends..!" He said that so happily. "Sure! I'll text you later when I have the chance!" He giggled and walked out if the class, almost skipping. I held a strip of paper having the boys number on it. I stared at it, feeling a swirl of unknown emotions. I shook my head and packed up, heading to the door until-
Slam
"Kaito. Move." Kaito had his arm blocking the only way out of our classroom. He looked down at me and smirked, "Seems the dog has a bark now, how's your new voice, puppy?" I stared him dead in the eye, possibly scaring him with my piercing cold eyes. He pulled him arm away and scoffed, "It was a joke! Chill out, bulldog!" I rolled my eyes as I left the classroom and went straight home. I unlocked and locked my door once I was inside, lazily plopping onto my couch as I turned on my tv, season 16 of Danganronpa popping on my screen. 16. Right, the new kid. Kokichi Oma. I took out my phone and texted his number.
SS: Hello, this is Shuichi, you gave me your number in class?
KO:Hi Shuichi! Thank you a lot for letting me sit with you during lunch! I'm glad we're friends!
SS:Of course, it's no big deal.
His stuttering doesn't transfer on text, thank the stars. Friends, hm? What do they do.. Play videogames, chat, and harrass- wait no that's just Miu and her messed up way of friendship with Kiibo. Oh well, soon enough Kokichi will mesh with one of those groups, and I'll be alone again. Alone. 16. Even. Goal? My goal.. Is to be friends with Kokichi. No, not friends..
Goal.
Be more with Kokichi.
Be with Kokichi.
Be.. No. Make him your Kokichi.
