Ouma's POV:

To Love Is To Expect The Pain Of Having Your Friends Embarrass You

-Some Smart Aleck

"Kokichi?"

Wow...he even reads. And here I thought it has been abandoned...no one in DICE reads mystery novels...not even Tsuki!

"Uhhhh, so how was your class? Leader? Supreme Rat Lord?"

Oh gosh he's my type...ugh he's already surrounded by people though...what is this a harem anime?!

"Earth to Kokichi! I will send Mirai your panta if you don't respond!"

Wow, he has an ass-

"IT'S OFFICIAL! KOKICHI HAS ACTUALLY DIED! I always knew this day would happen, I mean with all the stupid shit we do daily if any of us survived to adulthood it would have been a fucking miracle- OH WHY GOD?! WHY MUST YOU TAKE HIM FROM US SO SOON?!" Nao wailed, I glanced at him confused...

As everyone in the hallway staring at us. Tsuki looked close to jumping out the window.

"Why?" I asked, "why are you like this?" I mumbled, "oh he's not dead," Nao said nonchalantly. "Well, at least we can talk about-"

Saihara looked in our direction, his fabulous eyelashes blinked delicately, his shimmering hair of unknown hair care, he had a slight smile on his face.

"Oh wow that man's hot as hell, darn I got stuck in the wrong class, you think it's too late to request a change-?" Genkei said.

"No," I told him, snapping back to the conversation. Genkei smirked as I realized what I had just gotten myself into, Riko bounced up and down excited.

"Oh my gosh Kokichi has a-"

Quickly I walked out of the room, with my usual stride as I headed back towards the dorm as if nothing was wrong whatsoever.

I am completely calm.

Why am I like this?

Why?

"How bad is it on a scale from that one weird guy at the mall to that one J-Pop singer Tsuki is in love with?" Chiasa asked smiling as I buried my face in my pillow more. "Coffee guy from that one cafe," I told her, "OH WOW, yeah that one was so cute...ugh but he turned out to be so bland. So disappointing" she complained.

"Do you think this crush will last more than a week this time?" she asked, "I'm gonna marry him~" I teased as she laughed, "yeah right, we all know you're the last of us to get married!" she giggled.

"Why not?" I asked trying to make myself seem cooler, "I mean...Kokichi, don't take this the wrong way, but...well...uh, you're the type to have a million crushes but never date anyone because that's too big of a commitment..yeah" she mumbled apologetically.

"Ouch," I told her, she shrugged, "it ain't a lie though, I don't blame you dating is scary," she told me. "Says the person who has also been single their whole life" I chimed in smiling, she blushed embarrassed. "I mean...uh...about that..." she started.

No.

No.

Don't you dare say it Chiasa, don't you dare.

"Yeah...uh, I guess I'm not dating them, but uh...I may or may not have a date after this?" she told me. Why?  "Yeah, I'm sorry I guess? Are you actually gonna pursue him this time though? I've heard the other classes saying he's nice" She asked interested.

"Ah great your shipping instincts are back, and no I won't. I'm just going to mess with him~" I told her grinning, "oooh? Need some help with that? My class is so boring compared to yours-how many explosions went off in there?" she asked.

"Nah that was the third year, something about the athletes fighting, my class was the one doing a weird seance ritual," I told her, "oh really? I was wondering where the screaming was coming from" she trailed off.

"Yup!" I laughed, she sighed, "still sucks none of us are in your class though, do you even like any of them? I mean other than that one guy?" she asked curiously. I shrugged, "didn't bother really paying attention to them, most of them seemed like idiots" I complained, "aww they can't be THAT bad, I mean we let Shiro into DICE right?" she reminded.

"That's because we needed someone tall enough to reach the top of the shelves" I countered, "he can't be replaced" I jokingly praised, "did you just call the rest of us short?" Chiasa snorted.

"NO!"

"Hahah! YOU DID!"

"I'm as tall as an mecha suit!"

"Kokichi is short~ Kokichi is short~"

"You're the same height as me!"
