Ha I lied. You get to see it in a day.

A minute passed as all the other students shuffled into the room.

"The fuck is going on?" Hoizumi muttered.

"You think any of us know?" Sadako muttered.

"Upupupu!" Everyone jumped back from the stage as a laugh echoed around the room.

A white and black bear jumped up from behind the podium, landing on top of it.

"IT'S A TALKING STUFFED ANIMAL!" Hitoshi shrieked.

"I am not a talking stuffed animal!" The bear angrily shouted, "I am Monokuma, your headmaster!"

"Alright! So where are we?" Daiki asked, raising a hand.

"You're where you will live the rest of your life!" Monokuma answered.

What?

"What does that mean?!" Bunta asked, pointing at Monokuma.

"Welcome to the mutual killing school life! You all want to escape, right?" Monokuma explained, "The only way to get out is to kill someone else!"

Again, what?!

"Or you can stay here til you die! So, you better get used to everyone here!" Monokuma giggled, "Or kill someone! Who really knows?"

He then disappeared.

"What the heck?!" Kazue shrieked.

"Well, then, I guess we can only do what he says," Ahiru commented.

"You mean kill?!" Chiyo yelled at her, "If you think any of us are doing that, you're out of your mind!"

"I think she meant for us to get used to each other," Mayumi cut in.

Tomoyasu sighed, before starting to walk out of the room.

"Hey, where are you going?" Tamao asked.

He turned back and scoffed, "I'm not going to sit around and let myself be killed, because whether you think it or not, someone is going to."

With these words, he left.

Rude.

"I don't want to die!" Hikari cried, tears running down her face.

"Calm down," Riku reassured her, "None of us are going to kill each other."

"But you don't know that," Isamu cut in, "I'm not saying we will. I am just suggesting the possibility."

Katsushi shook his head, "I don't want to think about that."

Monokuma popped back up again, earning a lot of screaming.

"Sorry, forgot to give you something!"

Sixteen tablets appeared next to him on the stage. He grabbed them and gave one to each person, before walking back up on the stage, placing Tomoyasu's back down.

"These are your monopads!" Monokuma explained, "They have the school rules on them! If you violate a rule, then you will be executed!"

He disappeared again.

Shiori spoke up, "We should check out the rules."

She turned her own on.

Shiori Doi
Ultimate Poet

Shiori clicked on the rules button, choosing to ignore the classmates button and the other gray spots.

What the hell are truth bullets?

She read through all the rules.

"So it says we can't sleep anywhere else besides the dorms, and nighttime is at 10pm, and what?" Hitoshi whined, not understanding anything.

"Um, just to be clear, let's all agree to not leave the dorms during nighttime!" Tamao spoke up.

"What, why?" Riku asked.

"I imagine it shouldn't be a problem," Ahiru commented, "Unless you are planning a murder."

"We should meet up in the dining hall for breakfast everyday," Tamao suggested again, "Just to make sure everyone's okay!"

Everyone agreed before heading off to their dorm room.

Tamao tapped Shiori's shoulder before they headed into their rooms.

"Our rooms are next to each other's," Tamao observed, from Shiori's left, "If  I ever need anything, can I come over? I'm....easily scared."

Shiori stared at her.

Sounds suspious, but....

"Definitely," Shiori answered, "I hope you'll do the same to me."

Tamao smiled, nodded, and walked into her room, "See you in the morning!"

Shiori watched her disappear before walking into her own room.

She turned around and locked the door just to be sure.

Shiori collapsed onto the bed in the middle of the room. She wrapped herself in the blankets.

I'll look at the room later.

She fell asleep.
