Kokichi's POV
*authors note- this is starting from the end of chapter one*
I look around to see if anyone was watching me, I didn't see anyone, I didn't look really hard though. I decided to head to class so I walked inside and towards my classroom. I didn't feel like I was being watched anymore. I didn't really want to go straight to class, so I went to the bathroom first. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and sat on the sink counter. No notifications... what was I expecting? I didn't really have any friends who would be wondering where I was.
Sometimes I wish I had someone to worry about me...
I hear the bell ring. Shit- I'm tardy again. I jump off the counter and head to the classroom. I put a smile back on my face, I was sort of the class clown so I couldn't go to class looking so sad. I shove open the classroom door.
"Sorry for making you wait!" I exclaim as I head to my desk. I start to sit down.
"Not so fast kokichi- you know if you are late you have to get a tardy slip from the office first." Mr.Tsubakki scolds me.
"But I don't want to!" I say as I get up and walk out of the door. The intercom comes on but I don't really care for what it is saying, I just head to the office.
I open the doors to the front office "I knoooow I was tardy but do I really need to get a tardy slip?"
Mrs.Numakura, the woman at the front desk, sighed "Mr.Ouma you were tardy again?" I hold back laughter, I was tardy most of the time so this was almost routine.
"Yeah, yeah, what new?" I respond as I walk up to the front counter, I put both of my elbows on it and turn my head towards the other presence in the office "Oooh who's this?" I ask and look at him. We make eye contact an my eyes widen. It was- it was shuichi. How was he here? Does he recognize me? His face turns red as I stare in his eyes and he turns away. I turn back toward Mrs.Numakura and cover my mouth.
"Oh, him? He's a new student here. Since you're here already, would you mind giving him a tour? I think you two are in the same grade." She replies casually. There's silence for a few seconds after that.
"Uhm- sure. I mean- I don't have anywhere to b-be." I respond. The statement wasn't really true, I needed to be in class. But I really wanted to talk to him. I needed answers.
"All right, you two can head out then. Make sure you show him everything! And don't get him in trouble." She jokes.
"I w-won't make any promises!" I reply quickly. I can feel my heart racing. I grab Shuichi's sleeve and drag him to the hall.
