What's Love Like? A Naegami Story

Chapter Ten

         I rush back to my room, not wanting to be late on my first day.  I fumble the key, "Oh my gosh, I'm stupid.."  I had dropped the key and it slid under the door.   Hoping Byakuya was still in the room, I knock frantically.  "Fukawa!  I will not tell you again, leave my room!"  Togami yells from inside.  "Byakuya, it's me, Naegi."  I stutter grasping the door knob.  I hear him groan before the door opens and I slip inside.  Togami picks up my key and throws it onto my bed, it lands perfectly in the middle.  I turn to him and smile, kind of like a thank you.  I grab the key and place it in my backpack.  "Our next class starts soon."  I say heading towards the door.  "We have our next class together?"  He asks, following behind me.  "Yeah, we have all our classes together."  I respond, heading down the hallway.  I look back at Togami, he's smiling!  He quickly realizes I'm looking at him and his smile suddenly changes back to his normal expression.  I giggle quietly, taking a sharp turn into the science classroom, Byakuya following close behind.
"Hello my precious students!"  Monokuma smiles, greeting us at the door.  "Are you teaching every class?!  What about the other periods?"  I ask, with a confused look on my face.  "Yes, but actually no."  He smiles, "there's about fifteen of me roaming around!"  "How do we know which Monokuma is the real Monokuma?"  I ask, my voice sounding a little more shaky then I had anticipated.  "Oh, you'll be able to tell!  The real Monokuma, me, will be more alive and energetic!"  I sigh, "I don't even care anymore."  I walk to a desk and sit down, grabbing a pencil from my bag.  Togami takes a seat next to me.  I smile at him, he turns away.  I then feel arms wrap gently around my neck...

It's Asahina.  (HAHA, YOU'VE BEEN FOOLED)

I laugh a bit, since she startled me at first.  I glance over at Byakuya, he's glaring at Aoi and he almost looks, jealous?  Or angry, I can't really tell.  Though, he's clearly upset.  After Hina leaves from behind me, I lean over to Byakuya.  Whispering I ask, "why were you looking at Aoi like that?  Did you guys have a fight?"  Instead of explaining to me, he scoffs and turns away again.  I sigh, "you know, you should really talk to me more."  I didn't get any response back, just an upset exhale.  "I know we haven't been here for too long yet, but I've realised that you've almost been kind of distant from everyone else.  Are you shy?  If so, I'd love to help you be more social."  "..Shut up Makoto."  He turns to face me, but looks towards the floor.  "How I act is none of your business.  I don't want your help, nor do I need it."  He looks up at me, I can tell he's unhappy.  As mean as he's been to me, I sort of feel bad for him.  He just looks so sad..  I then see something that makes me tear up.   There was a bright glisten in his eyes.  Looking frightened, he turns away.
