What's Love Like? A Naegami Story

Chapter Four

Back To Naegi's POV

           I'm not going to cry..I'm not going to cry.. I slow down from my running pace as I try my best to hold in tears. "What's wrong kiddo?" I was startled by the annoying voice. The bear, Monokuma, stood in front of me, tapping his small foot on the ground. "Oh, nothing, I'm okay." I respond, looking down. "You don't look okay shorty." The bear responds, gently poking my thigh. I silently sigh as I lower myself to the bear's level. "Do you have friends?" I ask him, looking into his cold robotic eyes. "Well, sure! You don't gotta know about them though." He responds. "Why, you got friend issues?" He smirks as he boops my nose. "If that's the case, then whatever. Who needs friends anyways? Not you!" He does this odd laugh before disappearing. Gosh, do I hate this school. I get up from my knees and start back towards my room. No, I do not want to be around Rude n' Rich but it's not like I had anywhere else to go. I arrive back at my sad room, in this sad school, with my roommate who makes me sad. Once again, I slide my key through the door, and walk in. Making sure to be quiet this time.

           "You're back." The blonde turns to me, he's still got a book in his hands. It's probably titled, "How to Make Your high school Roommate Cry 101" I wanted to say something smart like, "great observation," or "way to go Sherlock!" But I kept the rude comebacks to myself. "Yeah, thought I might as well.." I respond walking back over to my bed. The blonde turns his focus back to his book. He didn't have his normal 'I'm going to kill you' look. In fact, he was smiling. "You're not going to tell me to leave?" I ask, watching his blue eyes as they study the pages. "No, I've already made you run in fear," he answers, still looking down. "No need to do it again." Then, his happy smile fades back into a sly smirk. I sigh as I hide my face in my pillow. I. Hate. This. School.
