It was wrong. All so wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. My hands curled around this stupid podium thing in front of me as I began to shake.

"I-Iruma?" she asked, staring at me. Staring into my soul. I looked away, unable to meet her eyes.

"If you don't respond, we'll all vote for youuuu!~" sang Kokichi.

"Kh..." I twirled a strand of my strawberry-blonde hair around my finger, feeling my face heat up. "Of course I didn't do it, gremlin."

"But you're the only one!" Tenko shouted. "You're the only one who could've done it!"

"I-I told you! I didn't do it! How many times to I have to drill it in your stupid brain!? I! DIDN'T! DO! IT!"

"But... there's so much evidence," she said, biting her lip.

"All points to you, partner," added Rantaro.

"First of all, I am not your partner," I snapped. "And secondly, what do you mean, evidence!?"

"It's aaaaall strewn around your room, you shoulda noticed," Kokichi said, smirking annoyingly. "Everything there says 'Hey, Iruma-chan toootally did it'!~"

"You little sh--!" I began.

"And now you're gonna get ex-ec-u-teeeed! Doesn't that sound fuuuun to you? Since you're a pervy weirdo, I bet it doeees!~"

"H-Hey! What-!? E-Executed!?"

"You'll get executed right noooow if you don't tell the truuuuth!~"

"Tch--! Fine! I did it! I ate the last cookie!"

I stepped away from that stupid podium thing -- or, in other words, the kitchen island. "You idiots, you didn't hafta make a big deal outta that."

"Aww... so you did?" asked Kokichi, pouting. "I wanted to give that to Saihara-chaaaan!"

Sure ya did. "You're the idiot who was threatening me the whole time."

"Was I? I don't remember that."

"Hhh-" I knew better than to play Kokichi's mindless game. "Whatever, leave me alone. Go kiss your boyfriend or whatever."

"Wha-"

Refusing to give him a chance to respond, I turned away and rushed out of the kitchen. I wasn't getting involved in another argument over something so trivial, like a cookie. (As this thought crossed my mind, I heard Guess Who's disgusting, whining voice in my head, "But it was the laaaast one!". No matter what, it's still a cookie.)

"Hey! Iruma!"

Turning, I saw her once again -- Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Pianist. Or, as I liked to call her... Kaegay Bakamatsu, the Ultimate Piano F--

"Do you want to get ice cream or something?"

I froze, almost choking on nothing but saliva. "Wh-WhAt- Why would I wanna spend time with a piano freak like you!?"

"I mean-" Kaede folded her arms in seeming irritation. "I'd ask Saihara-kun, but Oma-kun got to him first."

"Oh, so he did take my advi-"

"IRUMA."

"D-Don't raise your voice like that--!"

"Right, sorry- Anyway. Harukawa-san's still pretending I don't exist, Momota-kun and Keebo-kun are studying, Chabashira-chan and Yumeno-chan are doing whatever they always do- what do you call that, one-sided fangirling?- while Yonaga-chan's nowhere to be found..."
