Outshined

chapter 8

Hajime pov

When I woke up, I was leaning on Komaeda's shoulder. Blushing, I quickly got up. His hand reached out and grabbed the backside of my head, pulling me back down.
"I was comfortable." He mumbled
"I-its time to wake up." I said poking him
"Fine." He groans but gets up.
"Imma go get dressed." I say
"Alrighty, imma head to my dorm."
I nod as he exits. I turn around and start digging through my clothes.
Your so useless. We actually asked your headmaster to drop you out!
My parents words ring in my ears. If the headmaster agreed, I wouldn't be here right now. I shook my head. Don't think about that stuff right now. The school festival is coming right around the corner. At that I smile and get dressed.

Junko's pov

I sat there fuming. My mind was blank. I had to get thay talentless nobody out of my way. He's getting in the way of my love with izuru. I perk up. Taking out my phone Indian in some numbers. They'll help me take care of this little problem.

Nagito pov

I leave my dorm and head straight for first period. The moment I enter I'm greeted by hajime.
"Izuru is going to explain the details for this year's fair." He said
"Oh alright. Are you planning on participing?" I ask
He shakes his head "I'm not good at anything so I plan to just help out with anything I can."
"You can do anything if you put your mind on it." I smile
He shakes his head again, smiling this time.
Once the class gets seated, izuru starts his speech.
"This year the fair is going to be a little different. They want to keep everyone safe as there is said to be a killer on the loose. You can buy equipment and anything else you need, but you will be doing the fair at the courtyard and field. That's enough room for plenty of you. You have exactly two days to sign the permission form to participate if you don't then you don't get to have a booth. To participate its $10 and to get into the fair itself is $5. Any questions?"
There were a couple but none worth mentioning. They were mostly about what we could do.
  With that izuru bowed and left.
"Hey Nagito what do you plan to do?" Hajime asks
"The fair is in one week and I already signed so I plan to do a booth where we test my luck." I say
He tilts his head "how so."
I can't stop thinking of him as a curious puppy for some reason.
"W-well I was thinking like card stacks or something." I fumble with my words
"No way loser! No one would want to pay to see that!" Miu exclaimed overhearing our conversation
"Them what do you think I should do." I said rolling my eyes
"Something more risk taking. Like that knife game." She said smiling
"Knife game?" Hajime asks
"Yea~ you see you grab a knife," she goes on to explain how the game works. You need a knife and you spread your fingers and stab the knife in-between them without hitting your fingers. Your supposed to go faster with each time you go in all five gaps. The game ends when the song ends.
"That sounds risky." Hajime said looking doubtful
"I'm willing." I said smiling
"Oh but you should do it blindfolded so you can really test your luck." She grinned
"Not over my dead body." We look over to see Keada looking furious
"Why not sounds fun." I said
"That's way too dangerous." She said
Hajime nodded in agreement.
"It just a show. It's not like there going to allow knifes there. It's going to be plastic, the worst it'll give him is a nick." Miu said rolling her eyes
"If you want then." She shakes her head and walks away.
"Would you guys need any help with anything?" Hajime asks
I shake my head "this is going to be simple to put together"
He nods "ok."

Hajime's pov

I was able to help out a first year find the office but that's really all. Im kinda sad that I won't be able to participate in the fair but it'll still be fun to attend and see all of the acts.
  "Hey."
I turn around to see izuru.
"Hi." I say
"Are you going to participate in the fair?" He asks
I shake my head
"Are you?"
"Nah, I'm chairman so all I can do is attend and see who has the best booth." He says
I nod. It's still a little strange to talk to him like this. Something tells me that he still looks down on me and is just acting like he cares.
"Let's go." He walks down the hall
"Where?" I have to run to catch up
"I'm going to show you my favorite place." He said
