Gym was my last period class. And it was fantastic. I love playing basketball and that's exactly what we played. We just played a normal type of gameplay, against another team and my team won. It doesn't count to anything but hey, we won.

I was in the locker room changing back to my casual clothes while drying my forehead with a paper towel from the bathroom. I flicked my hair to the side as I tied my sneakers on. When I was done with one shoe, a hand touched my back making me jump. I looked to my side and saw the coach.

"You played amazingly well today, Pit. Keep it up and you could consider to join the basketball club. It'll start next month."

"Thanks, Mr. Magnus. Have a good day."

"You too, pal."

And with that, he left with things in hand. I looked at him until his figure disappeared out of sight.

I continued to tie my other shoe as the locker room slowly got quieter. And quieter...

I couldn't believe what my mind tried to do this morning. I just don't understand what's happening. I can't stop thinking about Dark Pit.

He is a piece of useless scum who has nothing else productive to do except bully new kids like me. Does his mom even know what he does, or she's just as cruel? ...Does he even have a mom? I feel bad for the poor souls he previously bullied just for his amusement.

I took my backpack and put the gym clothes in it. I stood up and walked out of the locker room. The halls were slightly empty. Of course, after school. I walked down to go to my locker and pick everything up.

Then, I noticed that my home room's door was open. I walked closer just for the sake to say adios to Ms. Viridi. But when I stepped in, I instantly stepped away, hiding behind the doorframe.

"I am really tired of being your teacher..."

I heard Ms. Viridi speak but I didn't noticed to who. All I know is that I was about to interrupt something important, but it seemed like they never noticed me coming in... I poked my head a little but before I could get a good view, a familiar voice rang my ears.

"Then why are you here? It's simple to move to another school."

"Dark Pit, that's not the idea of my statement..."

I kept still against the door and kept my ears up.

"Then what is it...?"

"I don't want to be your teacher because, it has been too long... You've been a senior for four years now. You've been kicked out of the previous school because you failed two years."

"..."

"Please, do me a favor and pass this year. I'd like to see you in the auditorium dressed up for graduation... I really do..."

I couldn't believe it... I was shocked at Dark Pit's backstory. He failed four years straight?! But that can't be the reason he's so mean, though. Not at all...

I was too into my world of thought I forgot that I was right next to the door. My reflexes went off as Dark Pit walked out of the room and stood right next to me. I gasped as he stared down at me, interrupting my thinking.

A few seconds passed and I noticed something. His eyes were not sour nor menacing this time, like they usually look whenever he stares at mine. They were filled with some sort of pinch of sadness and cloudiness.

I held myself against the door because of how... weird he looked right now, so unusual. He kept quiet. We kept quiet, almost like doing a staring contest. Then, he looked and walked away. Hands turned into fists and heels clacking through the hall.

My legs felt weak and my mind felt lost. I don't know what just happened... That was the most unusual thing that has ever happened throughout my school years. But I was more concerned as to why... Why is he failing? Is it on purpose...?

Or is it because he's a narcissistic, immature grown up who wants to be over the top?

I had so many questions, honestly...

I shook my head and took deep breaths to calm myself down. I poked in and saw Ms. Viridi walking around the classroom, picking up a pencil. I welcomed myself in and stood next at a desk.

"H-Hey, Ms. Viridi..."

"Hey there, Pit. What's up?"

"It's nothing, just got out of gym and saw your room open and-"

"...You heard it, didn't you?"

My breath hitched instantly and my eyes grew in shock. I slightly backed up on myself and cleared my throat. I'm not a person to lie...

...To be honest...

...If you couldn't tell.

"Oh, u-um... s-sorry about that, really-"

"It doesn't matter, hun. But yes, he's a kid who- Ugh, I really don't know why he does it but, he does it anyway and it's very upsetting. But don't worry about him, it's his problem for not trying."
