I was standing next to the elevator, waiting for it to arrive.
As it arrived, I saw both Horikita and Kikyou in it, as I stepped in it myself.
Light: "It's a bit weird seeing you and Kikyou together."
Horikita: "Kikyou?...to answer your question, she was waiting for me outside my dorm."
Kikyou just smiled which I responded by smiling back at her. Kikyou attached herself to my arm which went unnoticed by Horikita who seemed to be in deep thought.
As we reached the first floor, Horikita stepped out first and left both Kikyou and me alone.
Light: "It might seem a bit weird for me to be the first guy to call you by your first name."
Kikyou: "I don't mind what other people thi-"
Kikyou couldn't finish her statement as another student appeared.
Ichinose: "Ah, hello Kushida!"
Ichinose Honami of Class B. She was insanely popular, I dare say, she was more popular than Kikyou.
Kikyou: "Good morning Ichinose!"
Ichinose: "Kushida, who's this?"
Kikyou: "Ichinose this is Yagami Light, Light-kun this Ichinose Honami."
Ichinose: "Hello, a pleasure to meet you."
Light: "Likewise"
Both girls started conversing until Kikyou's friends showed up.
Kikyou: "Ah, I have to go, see you both at school!"
It was only me and Ichinose left.
Light: "Want to accompany me to school?"
Ichinose: "Sure!"
As we were making our way to school I decided to talk with Ichinose.
Light: "Well, I heard you're the class representative for Class B."
Ichinose: "Yes, I decided to take that role for the class."
Light: "I see, is it difficult?"
Ichinose: "Yes, it can be quite stressful trying to get everyone to cooperate."
Light: "I gotta hand it to you, you seem like a great leader from what I heard."
Ichinose: "Thank you. I also heard about how you helped your classmates with the last test we took."
Light: "It wasn't anything really, I rather not see anyone fail."
I'd rather have as many people as I can, just in case I need to sacrifice someone.
Light: "Well your class seems to be in a better situation unlike ourselves."
Ichinose: "Well we aren't that far from Class A, but it's only possible because of the cooperation of everyone in the class."
We walked in silence until Ichinose spoke up.
Ichinose: "Say Yagami-kun, have you ever been confessed to before?"
Light: "Yes, a few times."
Some girls in my school did and not to mention, Misa...
Ichinose: "Ah, I see..."
Light: "Has someone confessed to you?"
Ichinose: "Yes, but I don't feel the same way."
Light: "It makes sense your smart and beautiful, so who wouldn't want to confess to you?"
Ichinose: "Ah, thank you...if it isn't too much trouble could I talk with you more about it after school?"
Light: "Yes, that won't be any trouble at all."
Ichinose: "Thank you, I'll be waiting at the entrance."
We reached the school and we said our goodbyes' as we both made our way to our respective classrooms.
(Timeskip)
Classes were over for the day and I started packing up my things when I heard the loudspeaker.
"Sudou-kun from Class D please meet Chabashira-sensei in the faculty room."
Seems like Sudou may have done something. I guess I'll have to wait to find out.
I made my way over to the entrance of the school and I immediately spotted Ichinose with other students. I didn't know any of the people she was with.
Light: "Hey, Ichinose."
Ichinose looked at me and excused herself from the people she was talking with.
Ichinose: "Hello Yagami-kun, please follow me."
We walked behind another building. We stood there in silence.
What is happening? Why isn't she saying anything? Could she possibly be setting me up? No, I'll let her speak first and then I'll make my move.
Ichinose spoke reluctantly, an action which made me even more suspicious of her.
Ichinose: "Conf-ah, someone will confess to me right here!"
Huh?
I wasn't expecting this at all. Ichinose showed me a love letter which was a full-on confession about someone's feelings towards Ichinose. This gave me a really bad feeling.
Light: "Well, I'm not sure I understand why I'm here."
Ichinose: "You see...I don't know much about love since I've never been confessed to before. I don't want to hurt the other person's feelings, so I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend."
I'm surprised Ichinose has never been confessed to before. She has leadership skills and good looks as well, so how has no one confessed to her yet?
She wants me to act as her boyfriend?
Normally I wouldn't care, but this is a confession.
Ichinose: "You see, I did some research and found out if the person that is being confessed to, is in a relationship, then the person confessing won't be hurt as much...
so could you please help me?"
This may be good, if I do this, Ichinose will owe me a favor which will be good in the long run.
But, if I pretend to be her boyfriend, the other party involved may try to attack me out of jealousy...this is difficult.
As I was about to speak, I heard Ichinose gasp as she looked behind me. I instinctively looked behind me as well.
The person I saw was rather overweight with short hair and crooked teeth.
This person immediately gave me a bad feeling. Ichinose was completely stunned until the boy spoke.
???: "Who are you?!"
He directed this question to me.
Light: "Yagami Light from Class D and also Honami's boyfriend."
This seemed to piss off the boy who immediately started getting aggressive.
???: "Really now? I'm sure Ichinose would rather have a fun time with me instead of you BITCH!"
This whole situation was turning into something dangerous. The boy in front of me is completely unpredictable. Ichinose finally decided to speak up.
Ichinose: "Please understand I am already in a relationship. I'm sorry but I have to reject your confession..."
???: "NO!"
Ichinose was startled but tried to keep her ground. However, I could see she was afraid of what the boy would do.
???: "Fucker! You're stealing her from me! You're better off dead!"
The boy immediately dug into his pocket and pulled out a knife which he tried to use to stab me.
I completely dodged all of his attacks and kicked him right in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
???: "Ah, you piece of shit! C'mon Ichinose jus-"
The boy wasn't even able to finish his thought when Ichinose slapped him.
Ichinose: "No, understand that I don't like you and never will! Don't make this worse on yourself."
???: "I see...YOU ABSOLUTE WHORE! I'll KILL YOU."
The boy immediately lunged at Ichinose with his knife in hand and was about to stab her.
I grabbed Ichinose and simultaneously kicked the boy away from us.
He tried to get back up, but I knocked him out with a single punch.
(Timeskip)
I had to call Chabashira because of the incident that happened earlier. I was lucky since I had Ichinose as a witness not to mention, the fingerprints on the knife.
Of course, Hoshinomiya decided to take the opportunity to try and flirt with me some more until Chabashira hit her on the head.
Ichinose seemed happy. She was hugging me most of the time and didn't stop saying how grateful she was for me.
People like Ichinose deserve to live in this world. The boy on the other hand....should just be a name in the Death Note.
(Timeskip)
I was laying down in my bed thinking of my next moves when my door burst open.
Sudou: "Man, you got to help me!"
Light: "How did you even get in?"
Sudou: "I have a keycard to your room. But right now that isn't important! I need your help. I could get expelled!"
What did you do this time? Jesus Christ does everybody expect me to help them....whatever this could be beneficial later on.
Light: "Explain to me what the problem is."
Sudo ended up telling me how he got into a fight and ended up beating up a couple of Class C students. He also said it wasn't his fault which I found a bit hard to believe.
Light: "Alright, I'll help you. Just wait until tomorrow."
Sudou: "Thanks man, I knew I could count on you."
Thus another problem was brought to my attention.
(Timeskip)
I was making my way to classes. Earlier I was accompanied by Ichinose who seemed to be in a really good mood.
Anyway, I entered the classroom and sat in my seat when a person I haven't heard from in a while decided to speak.
Horikita: "How have you been?"
Light: "I'm a bit surprised, I didn't expect you to care about me."
Horikita: "It's only natural to care about an ally."
Light: "Well, I've been fine, what about you?"
Horikita: "The same as every other day."
Light: "You know about the problem with Sudou right?"
Horikita: "What are you talking about?"
Seems like she doesn't know. If Horikita doesn't know then the case is most likely the same with the rest of the class.
(Timeskip)
Classes were about to end when Chabashira said she needed to make an announcement.
Chabashira: "Before you leave class, it has been brought to my attention, that Sudou has recently been accused of attacking three Class C students. If you have any information please inform us immediately."
Sudou: "Wait! does every other class know?"
Chabashira: "Yes, we'd like witnesses to come forward therefore every other teacher is informing their respective class. That will be all."
I saw Sudou looking down as if he was defeated, it seems like he didn't want the situation to be known by everybody.
I honestly can't blame him, people might start thinking he's a bad person because of this.
(Timeskip)
After classes, some people got irritated with Sudou since we could potentially lose class points because of him.
However, Hirata quickly turned around everyone's opinion with the help of Kikyou.
I, along with Kikyou and the three idiots tried to do our best to search for any witnesses to no avail.
(Timeskip)
I was in my dormitory along with the three idiots and Kikyou. We had absolutely no leads.
Ike: "Man this sucks! Why did you have to go and beat them up Sudou?"
Sudou: "I already said that they started it first!"
Ike: "Still you didn't have to go and fight them. We don't have any leads at all, do you just think someone with information will come through the door?"
Not even a second after he said that, someone started knocking on the door.
Everyone turned to look at the door and I got up to answer it.
Horikita: "I may have a lea-"
Horikita was about to step in until she saw the shoes on the floor.
Horikita: "I'm leaving."
Kikyou: "Ah, hi Horikita-san"
Horikita sighed as she reluctantly entered the room.
Horikita: "I know who the witness is."
Light: "You're 100% sure you know who it is?"
Horikita: "Yes, without a doubt."
Light: "Alright then, who is it?"
Horikita: "Sakura Airi"
Ike: "Who is that?"
Sudou: "Yea, I don't know who that is either..."
Light: "It's the girl that sits right next to you, the one with the pink hair."
Ike: "Oooh, you mean the one with the killer rack?"
Yamauchi: "Ah, I remember her now."
Sudou: "I think I know who she is..."
Kikyou just looked at them in disgust, as did Horikita.
Ike realized the look Kikyou was giving him and tried to talk himself out of it. But, Kikyou was having none of it.
Horikita: "I don't care how you remember her, just know Sakura is the witness."
Light: "How can you be so sure?"
Horikita: "When Kushida was asking for help to see if there were any witnesses, Sakura was the only person to look down."
Light: "Ok, we'll approach her tomorrow. Thanks, Horikita."
Horikita left the room. Everyone else followed soon after since we now knew who to confront.
(Timeskip)
I was walking around campus not doing anything in particular. I could try to text and see if I could read with Hiyori.
However, even reading got a bit boring sometimes. I was too focused on what I was going to do, that I didn't realize I was walking into someone until it was too late.
Light: "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to run into you."
???: "No, it's alright."
She was a short girl with purplish hair. She held a cane in one hand. Something about her seemed familiar.
???: "Hmm, would you like to take a walk with me?"
Light: "Alright"
We walked around campus and talked.
Light: "May I know your name?"
???: "Sakayanagi Arisu"
Sakayanagi: "Could I know yours?"
Light: "Yagami Light"
Sakayanagi: "Yagami-kun what do you think of this school?"
Light: "Well I think it certainly is interesting, I like the system in which they allow people to go to this school."
Sakayanagi: "Could you elaborate?"
Light: "This is supposed to be one of the highest-ranking high schools in the world. However, I like that they still give a chance to people that certainly have flaws. Those people can come here and improve over time to become a better version of themselves."
Sakayanagi: "That's an enticing way of thinking about this all."
Something about this girl, she certainly gave me the impression of someone smart. Possibly smarter than Horikita.
Sakayanagi: "What do you think about the world?"
How should I respond? I'll simply act like a person with empathy.
Light: "I think the world has many flaws unlike this school, people that aren't considered 'smart' get treated like trash. Also, the people in this world don't get treated equally, many horrible people ruin it for everyone else."
Sakayanagi: "Interesting, I seem to know now what kind of person you are Yagami-kun. An interesting one to look out for."
I was a bit surprised by her, she certainly wasn't what I expected.
Sakayanagi: "I have to go now, but please feel free to contact me whenever you want to have another chat."
She proceeded to hand me her contact information which I put into my phone immediately.
Light: "I'll see you soon Sakayanagi."
Sakayanagi: "I certainly don't doubt that you will."
I made my over to my dorm. I certainly met an interesting person today...
