DING DONG BING BONG!
"Attention students! It is now 7am, which means it's time to get up! Happy killing days~!"
A knock on my door.
That was something I hadn't heard in a while.
I had already been up and getting ready, and opened the door right as I was pulling my jacket on.
"Good morning, Asahi." Kyung Hye stood in front of me.
"Kyung!" I stated, barely able to hide the surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"H-huh?" The Exchange Student frowned, "I'm making sure everyone's...coming to get breakfast! Should I stop?" She asked.
"Oh, that makes sense." I ran a hand through my hair, "I was just surprised you aren't hanging out with Rouko." As soon as I mentioned the Translator, Kyung froze up.
"She...won't let me." She murmured, staring at the floor.
"But you two are best friends!" I said.
"I thought so...too. But she has...not talked to me since it happened." She sighed, "no matter. We have...plenty of time, and everyone is being really...nice to me." She offered a smile, but it wasn't genuine.
"T-thanks, Kyung." I was unsure of what else to say.
Nevertheless, Kyung waved a goodbye to me and began to make her way to the cafeteria, disappearing downstairs.
I went to follow her, but something pulled me towards the rest of the bedrooms.
Maybe...maybe Rouko was in hers, and we could finally talk. Or if not Rouko, I could get to know Hisoka more.
If they let me.
I moved around the corner to see the Translator in question leaving her room, locking it behind her.
"Rouko," I gained her attention.
She turned to me, making no attempt to hide the annoyance on her face.
"What do you want? I've already said I don't want to talk." She said.
"I just-" My mind drew a blank. What was I going to talk to her about? I felt like there was so many options, but if I spoke about any of them I'd just get anger in return.
"I'm worried. You're shutting yourself off from the group." I finally said. Rouko scoffed.
"I'm not doing anything. Nobody's talked to me ever since I left Kyung, and now she's the big social butterfly. I know I'm plain, but you could at least offer to make conversation." She snapped.
"W-well...why don't you talk to people?" I ran a hand through my hair.
"You think I haven't tried? I just annoy everyone." Her tone dropped at the last sentence.
"You don't-"
"Look, even if I did make friends, they'd just find a way to make me a pushover." Rouko closed the conversation by walking past me and disappearing around the corner, leaving me no chances to reply.
The rest of that day went by in a blur, and so did the day after. Even Monoko had made less frequent appearances, leaving us mostly to our own devices. For the most part, I found myself moving around a lot, trying to take my mind off of things. I never really got enough alone time with anyone to learn more about them without an interruption.
However, on an afternoon when I found myself lying on my bed, doing nothing, a knock at my door caught me off guard.
When I opened the door, I was even more caught off guard as Hisoka Yuuto stared up at me, his hands shoved deep into his pockets.
