Lunch was all you could think about.

Despite your wishes for it to come sooner, it felt as if it took hours for it to come. As soon as the bell rang you bolted, skillfully managing to avoid members of your 'clique'.

Once you were in the clear, you thought about what you wanted to do.

The first thing you wanted to do was find Tsumugi, you hoped that after finding her it'd be easier to find Kokichi. You also reminded yourself that you needed to make sleepover plans with Tsu. It was almost tradition at this point after all.

 After jumping down flights of stairs to get to the cafeteria and weaving around other students, you finally managed to find Tsumugi.

"Hey!" 

Tsumugi sucked in her breath, startled by your sudden, and loud, appearance. 

"Oh, hey... You seem pretty energetic today-"

A timid smile showed as you let out a small laugh. You were partially embarrassed that she noticed, but you couldn't bring yourself to mind. She was the only one that would ever notice such a thing.

"Yeah, yeah I am. Can you please tell me the fastest way from here to the track" 

You saw her give a small smile back, an eye brow raised at your seemingly out of the normal mood shift.

" Uh, yeah, go to the doors near stairwell B and you should be-"

You took this as your cue to run off.

"Thanks, Tsu! I really owe you one. Don't forget sleepover at 8!"

You said speeding off, leaving a shock and bewildered Tsumugi behind.

You quickly made your way though the halls and down the stairs, coming to a rough halt as you reached the track doors.

Panting heavily, you made your way just outside the track doors. After catching your breath and wishing you worked out more you began to look around for Ouma.

As you discretely searched for him, your mind wandered.

Unfortunately you didn't have much to go off of. Most of the info you had at the moment was from Kaede, an unreliable source, so you didn't even know if the information you had was entirely correct.

The information you got from Tsugumi was reliable, but small. So you were basically free-balling it.

The only things you knew for certain was that he was small in stature, somewhat pale, has purple hair, and usually sat near the tracks to eat lunch. Not much, but definitely a good start for sure.

After a few seconds of looking you finally spotted him. For a second, you froze. Uncertainty finally getting to you.

Your ultimate would usually grant you safety from awkwardness in conversation, but you had nothing to go off of this time, no speech patterns, ideals, nothing.

For the first time in a while, you felt genuinely uncertain.

You let out a small huff as you thought more in depth.

'How am I gonna introduce myself...'

Despite the initial worry, it didn't take you long to figure out what you'd do.

You didn't have food to share or offer, so the second best option was to just settle for small talk. Easy, nothing you haven't done before.

Taking a deep breath, you began making your way over to him. Prepping yourself to use a gentle voice to not seem like an immediate threat.

On your way over you couldn't help but notice that the closer you got the more disheveled the boy seemed to get.

He noticed you sooner than you thought.

Though it was unplanned, this didn't discourage you. Putting on a soft half genuine smile, you quietly spoke

"Hey"

The boy flinched.

His voice shook as he responded.

"H...Hi"

He looked painfully tense and ready to run at a moments notice.

Swallowing hard, he tightly clutched his bento box and kept his gaze down.

A part of you deeply pitied him when you saw him like this. Looking so small and frail, you wanted to change that someway somehow, purely for his wellbeing.

That being said, a part of you relished the fact that he appeared so weak. A persons physicality could tell you quite a bit about their mentality if you looked for the right mannerisms, and he had all the ones you'd want for an easy job. The more vulnerable he is, the easier he'll be to manipulate to your will and biding.

You eyes narrowed as you silently shunned your toxic thoughts, continuing your conversation before too much awkwardness could set in. 

"Sorry for the out of the blue question, but what periods do you have?"

As useful as they could be, you hated having to resort to such basic questions like that. But, unfortunately, at the moment that's all you had.

You noticed the boy kept his gaze on the ground the boy answered.

"um... Tsuchigomori 1st, Kaname 3rd..." 

Upon hearing his voice more steady, you mentally sighed in relief at the break of tension.

While of talking you found out he had more classes with you than you thought. It was only two, if early bird even counts as a legitimate class. Even with such a small number it still shocked you, how'd you not notice?

After a few minutes of talking you found out a good amount of info without even using your ultimate... you think.

When the school chime rang you quickly, and politely, said your goodbyes to Kokichi. As much as you were sympathetic towards him, your new found "popular kid" status would be at risk if you were to be seen with him. As dramatic as it sounds, who ever hung out with Kokichi would almost have an immediate target placed on them and you'd like to avoid that. 

•with your new found connection to Ouma, you guess you couldn't call him 'the boy' anymore•
