Mondo's POV:

If I knew anything (which I do), this new school was gonna be crap.

It was a dumb idea, moving. We could have just stayed with the rest of my gang -we still didn't have a name for the godd*mn thing- in Chiba but no, my idiot Mother and Step-Dad make the decisions. My bike wasn't to come with us, which was stupid, but my dog Chuck got to. I had around 10 minutes at the most to get ready to leave, and it was only 06:30 in the morning for god sake.

"Fasten your seatbelt, please Mondo." My mother said, as if I was a baby. "No, don't tell me what to do. Old hag." She got pretty offended by me calling her an old hag, which I was heavily impressed about. My mom never got angry and besides, I could have called her worse.

It took almost half an hour to get there, but it was shorter than expected. Alot shorter than expected. "We are here!"

"Where the hell are we, Morok?" I asked, annoyed because I needed to know. Why were we 'already here'? Where even was 'here'? I thought it would take like alot longer.

"I told you to call me Dad... We are at your new school, everything is already at home and we just wanted to take you to show you around!"

This dude was really starting to annoy me. "Whatever you say, Dad." This day was gonna be horrible. I open the door to get a blast of clean, fresh air. How does Tokyo have nice air but home doesn't? Well, I should say old house, shouldn't I?

"Mr and Mrs Owada! You have both arrived just on time. My name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru, and I will be showing you around." I took one look at him and knew, this guy would be my worst nightmare to get rid of. He was wearing and outfit that looked like some sort of uniform. Pure white, no dirt marks, a bright badge and a red armband. My parents would ivite him to sleepovers, hangouts, dinner. He would be known as my friend, best friend or even brother. Worst idea ever, I would say. Obviously, I was angry, but then again, when am I not?

I wasn't paying attention to a single word he was saying. His voice was so, so, so high pitch but yet manly at the same time (how doe sthat even happen?). His black, short-cut hair was so spikey it was as if a hedgehog lived in there. His bright red eyes looked like they had a mind of there own, and could/would kill you with a single stare. And don't even get me started on his personality. So bubbly, annoying, loud, needy, talkative, boring old weirdo. It's like he could lure you away.

"And that's the school! If you have any questions just ask, and I will answer. If I do not know the answer, I may check with the head master and get to you at a sooner time." Taka- I mean Kiyotaka said with a smile on his face. My parents instantly loved him. They though he was professional, logical, smart, kind, and unlike me. Their 'chaotic child'.

"Oh, but we must introduce you to our son, Mondo. After all, he will be in your class." I'm in his class?! I have to share a classroom with this bird-brain, snot-nosed, squeaky-voice rat? My dumb step-thing better be lying.

"Mondo, how 'bout you and Kiyotaka go get to know each other? You seem like you would be the best of friends!" My mother [Oral was her name, I think] said, giving me a nudge on the back. I (unfortunatly) couldn't decline so I walked with him or, as he did, scuttled along as my step-dad and mother got in the car.

I looked behind me then back to him. The coast was clear. I took a breath in, exhaled and said in my usual tone of voice,"Look, I don't like you, and you don't like me. Deal?" I had tried to seem intimidating to him but it had seemed to have failed. Why? He was still smiling. I repeated what I said, and he irritatingly sighed whispering the word "fine" while mumbling something at the end. He better be telling the truth, or I'll break his tiny, rounded up face.

Ever since I was a kid, I grew up with my older brother pounding this into my head, making sure I had always remembered it and never forgot it... When a man makes a promise, he has to keep it, even if it kills him. So if he broke that, I might have to break him and his little weak bones. That is if he classes himself as a man and not a squermy piglet on helium, because that is what he sure sounds like.

"I still have to take you to our class. Although, you don't need to know that I exist." When did I say that? He seemed like the one that I could bully, but would fight back, verbally or physically. "Whatever. Let's go, midget." He got annoyed at that, and I was correct in my predicament. "M-Midget?! I'm not short, you are just tall! And I-I'm the one who is meant to be walking y-you there!" I didn't need him to, and just to prove it, I started walking.

"It's to the left." I knew that. "I knew that, just testing you, idiot." He started directing me the directions, but I played it out that 'I knew that' or 'I was just testing you' y'know, that kind of stuff. Eventually, we made it and he looked like he couldn't deal with me a second longer. Neither could I, he was so annoying and boring. Do I look like I want to deal with a twerp on the daily? No, I don't.

Well, here goes nothing.

Kiyotaka's POV:

Let's hope this young man here wouldn't blow items up like the last.

The new student had just arrived to the school with (what I resume) his mother and father. Of course, I greeted them and showed them around our area. Although how hard I tried, the boy [Mondo I had learned his name was] didn't want to listen to my voice nor me. We ended up making an agreement that we didn't like each other -which I didn't want to keep- and he seemed happy once I agreed. Next thing, to class...

"You may need to be careful in here, it is rather noisey and untidy by the other students." I whispered. I had noticed I was whispering but I had no idea why. "Shut up and open the d*mn door already, Nerd." I hesitantly opened the door, one silent creek at a time.

"Kiyotaka! Glad you are here! Aio managed to chain herself to the wall again!- Oh, who is this?" Makoto asked. He is the most helpful person in my class, and most likely will be to deal with Mondo. "This is Mondo, the new student." Everyone gasped. I wanted to do the same, who would want to go to Hopes Peak Academy?

"And I take it I am to help as the Ultimate Moral Compass? Or just to be nice?" Owada looked at me, obviously amd highly confused as if, 'You don't look like the Ultimate Moral Compass' or some quote along those lines. I sigh, knowing I have done this for almost 3 years now, every day.

I unclip the chain from the stone/brick wall. "Thanks Ishimaru! I have no idea how I keep doing that!" How does she? There isn't any holes in the wall, and no chains attached to them. I should probably ban her from them as they could even be classed as a murder weapon.

Okay, first thing is first, sort out the class into their assigned seating areas. "Alright, we have new seats! First, Kirigiri, start off at the right. Next is Toko, follow on. Togami, Celeste, Aio. Next row is Sakura, Chiriro and Yamada. And the final row is Makoto, Leon, Junko, Sayaka, Mondo, Me, and Yasuhiro. Any questions?" Everyone was just as planned and I did get a question (I never get questions)! "How often would our seats change, Kiyotaka?" That was actually a really good and aswerable question from Chihiro. "It is every month, but if we need to, sooner. Great question!"

He seemed happy he had asked a reasonable question. "Now that we are all set, we have a new student, Mondo. Please pay the same respect you would to anyone else." He seemed rather annoyed that I showed his existence to the class. "You may chat or converse together while I sort things out." Some instantly tries getting to know one another like they should, and others talk to people they already knew. Then I realized that...

Mondo didn't go to talk to the others. "Hey, what's up? Why aren't you talking to the others?" He told me that he didn't feel like it. "And besides, they all are probably annoying. Hopefully more annoying than you." I didn't hear the last thing, but I presumed it was something rather rude and/or vile.

"Well, I hope this school is something of your taste, and if not, something better. I look forward to seeing your work." He turned away from me. Either he was embarrassed, annoyed or something caught his eyes (I highly doubt the last one). I concluded that I was being annoying, talking to a tall, strong kid with buff arms and I was a tiny weakling. Heck, I can't even carry a single dumbbell properly! Oh well, I should probably just not talk to him.

I turn to the papers in front of me. Oh jeez, I've to file out everything about everyone. I could tell, today was gonna be bad. Y'know what, let's start off with Kirigiri. 'Kyoko Kirigiri - She is around 5 foot tall, and her birthday is October 6th. She currently doesn't remember her ultimate talent but she can be trusted. Kyoko appears to be a young high school-aged teenager, but due to the memory loss she is two years older than she believed. She has purple eyes, and a pale complexion. She wears her long lavender hair down with a single braid on her left side, tied with a black ribbon. Kyoko is a stoic and mysterious girl who tends to hide her feelings. She has a calm demeanor and tends to be completely unfazed by most of the events that occur, mabye even at the sight of a dead body.'

*ding, ding, ding*

Perfect, saved by the bell. I just have to fill in a couple more things and I'm ready for the next. I pick up my black fine-line pen just to hear "Aren't you coming, shortie?" I could recognise the voice. "Oh, Mr Owada. No, I still need to work on these files. I highly apologize for any annoyances I have caused, if any." He, for some reason, wasn't having it. "Hell to the no. You are going home, if you like it or not." And before I can fully and properly understand whatever was going on, I was being dragged out the school by a 6'1 phyco. Lovely.

Okay then, turns out we are going to his house. I hope his hopefully not scary parents are alright with me being there. Well, only one way to find out? Or mabye there is more, probably not? "Sit down kid, there was no way I'm letting you staying in school just writing. That's dumb, and besides, it's after school hours." Seems I had to explain, that work was my work. "I knew that. I'm not stupid, y'know. It was VERY obvoius that was your work due to how observant you were in it and-" Just then I hear a woman shout the words "MONDO! IS THAT YOU SWEETHEART?! I'M GLAD YOU GOT BACK SAFE!!" It rang in my ears. She was so loud.

He seemed rather annoyed. "Yes Mom!" Then turned back to me. "Sorry 'bout her, bro. Wanna play videogames instead?" One moment wanting to kill me, and the next is videogames?!

"Sure."

Yui:

"How the hell do you keep beating me in every videogame?!? Don't tell me you are some kind of nerd!?" I heard my son shouting throughout the house. He is that loud, the whole street could have heard him. "Heh, I'm not quite sure. As I did mention 5 minutes priar, I don't play videogames." The short kid spoke. I say short, but he is almost as tall as me.

"Gentlemen, I brought some food. Also, Mondo Kai Owada! Stop yelling at this young man!" I shriek, while placing down the two bento boxes and cookie tray. "Don't full name me! You are the one shouting here!" "Well, you started the damn argument!" "Ugh, Whatever- Hey! Did you just beat my highscore again?!" The boy let's out a small chuckle. "I swear one day, I will beat that score." I go to speak, but Ishimaru reads my mind. "So, you are gonna beat it like you beat everyone else?" My son freezes, getting the joke. I begin to roar with laughter. "Shut up! It's only funny 'cause Taka said it." He says, letting out a faint giggle.

"Wait, son. Did... Did you just call him Taka?" Both boys faces turn bright red from embarrassment. "N-No I did-dn't! Y-You just m-" "Eep! My son has a new bestie!" His response was something along the lines of 'you wouldn't understand' or something like that. "Yeah, 'cause I was never a kid, and I never had friends." I retort. Mondo smirks. "The first one is false, you were once a kid, but you never had friends." I jokingly gasp in shock. "Kyodia, don't insult your mother like that!" "It ain't an insult if it's true, now is it, bro?" "One, the word is 'not' instead of 'ain't' and Two, it still is rude." This kid sounds like a teacher, I like that in a child. "Okay, fine Mr. Moral Compass."

[[ Time skip brought to you by

Bento Box :3 ]]

Owada:

"Hey, I'm bored. Wanna chill with some of the class?" I ask, 'cause I hate losing, especially in videogames. "Y-You got their numbers already?" Taka asks. "Yeah, I got Kuwata, Yasuhiro, Naegi and that Fugisaki chick. So you wanna?" He ponders on the thought before replying 'of course.' I grab his arm and walk downstairs to grab my phone. He seems to walk behind me, sowing that I'm the leader. "Sit down on one of the sofas while I grab my phone, chat to Morok if you want." He places himself on the single sofa and begins a conversation with my step-dad. Well, Morok actually started it.

"Aha, there it is!" I whisk out my phone, and start texting the group.

"Yo, Taka. The boys (and Chihiro) are ready,  what 'bout you?" (Chihiro hasn't came out as a cross-dresser yet) I ask the short boy. He isn't even that short, but it's funny to see him angry. "Ah, yes, ofcourse Mondo. It was lovely to talk to your father, he is so nice." Morok chuckled before replying, "I could say the same for you, kiddo. You are such a genius. You could probably teach my son those manners of yours." I glare at him in anger. "Oh, sorry, step-son." I sigh, wanting to get outta there. Ishimaru laughs, before looking away. "Should we be heading then?"

I open the door and walk out, Ishimaru following behind. He spots the bike, and asks, "I-Is that yours?" "Hell yeah, what, you never been on one?" He shivers at the though of getting on. "So... I'll take that as a no then. Just give it a try, 'kay? It'll 'prolly be fun." Taka thinks, before agreeing. I hand him Dayia's red helmet, as I put the navy blue one on. It's a REALLY dark blue, so it's the closest I got to black. I turn the engine on, and start driving. Ishimaru grabs onto my waist in fear of falling off. "Hey, Taka? Why'd you look upset when my dad talked to you?" I thought now would be a good time to ask, to distract him from the fear.

"O-Oh, it's nothing. I just don't like being called a 'genius'. I also don't like my surname." He shouts quietly so I can hopefully hear him. "Well, why not?" Taka pauses. "You don't need to tell me, I jus-" "It reminds me of my grandfather. He used to be a large person in Japan, but only cared for himself. That therefore sent my family into pure debt." He told his story and I told mine.   "So, you think you killed your brother?" I get off the bike, and nod. "Well, did you push him on that area of the road?" I shake my head. "And did you force him to stay in front of the truck?" Again, I relied no.

"Then it isn't your fault! Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do." He smiles at me, reassuring me I'll be okay. "So, where do we meet the others?" Taka asks, opening his gorgeous ruby eyes. "O-Oh yeah, umm... I fogot to ask." I try to laugh it off, but with Taka, that didn't work. "You forgot to ask? Well, ask them now please." I pull out my samsung phone out of my right side pocket and start typing.
