"Wake up, wake up!" Someone said, shaking me out of sleep.
"What?" I moaned, my vision clearing. Who is that?
"It's time to wake up!" The voice said. I recognised it this time, it was Ayato.
"Ah!" I screamed, jumping back.
"What?" He exclaimed.
"Why are you in my dorm room?" I screamed.
"Otonashi wanted me to wake you up. It's kinda 11 A.M.," he answered.
"Oh, well I'm up!" I said, smiling. "I'll be out in a minute, I just have to change."
"Okay, see ya!" He said, leaving.
"Bye!" I said, opening the dresser. I pulled out a clean uniform and put it on, I threw my pajamas on top of the pile of clothes on the floor, put on my shoes, and left.
-O0O0O0O-
When I arrived at the "Principal's Office," Ayato was waiting for me outside.
"You could have gone inside," I said. He looked at me.
"You don't know the password. The trap Noda setup would have killed you, sent you flying out the window," he said, pointing to the broken window.
"Oh. No one told me about that," I said, chuckling.
"They didn't?" He asked, chuckling. "They must be trying to kill you!"
I laughed. "I hope not."
"Anyways…" he began, turning toward the door, muttering something, most likely the password, under his breath, and opened the door. Everyone seemed to be here, although I wouldn't know, I just got here yesterday.
"Hey Naoi, hey Amika," Otonashi said, walking over to us.
"Good morning," I said.
"Good morning Otonashi," Ayato said.
"He's already in a better mood," Hinata muttered.
"What did you say?" Ayato snapped, turning to Hinata.
"Nothing, really," Hinata said, putting both hands up.
"Good," Ayato said, walking towards Hinata. "Go back to being the toilet paper you are."
Hinata started mumbling something, then fell over. Otonashi grabbed the back of Ayato's jacket.
"Naoi, what was that for?" Otonashi asked. He looked up.
"He started it," Ayato said, looking at Otonashi and then at Hinata. Otonashi let go of his jacket and walked over to Hinata. Good, he's still alive. I had never seen anyone get hypnotised before, and it was really cool, but Otonashi seemed really strict about it.
"We're running out of food tickets," Yuri said, changing the subject. "It's time for Operation Tornado."
"What is that?" I asked.
"You'll see," She said, smirking.
"Should I be scared?" I asked, only half kidding.
"No, not at all," She replied.
"Good," I said, sitting down next Ayato on the couch.
"Okay, Amika, you will join team Barricade with the guys, if that's alright with you," Yuri said, pointing to me.
"That's fine," I said. I was already sleeping in a boys dorm anyways, so why not?
"Okay, Yui, are you ready to go?" She asked.
"Yep, we even have a new song!" Yui answered. Why is she so hyper?
"Awesome. The operation will start at 16:00."
-O0O0O0O-
Next thing I knew, I had a gun in my hand, and ready to fight Angel. Otonashi and Hinata had showed me around the school, and told me what to do and not to do. We waited a while for the performance to start, and that's when Angel came. Otonashi was on my right, and Ayato on my left.
"Aim for her legs. She can't chase you then," Otonashi said, raising his gun.
"Right," I said, raising mine.
"On three," Ayato said.
"One, two, three," We counted together.
"FIRE," Otonashi yelled, and I pulled the trigger. At that moment I realised I have never shot a gun, so the power shocked me. I flew back, the gun flying out of my hands.
"Amika!" Ayato yelled, dropping his gun and running over to me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm better than ever!" I exclaimed, jumping up. "Let's do it again!"
"Good. Knowing Angel shes not going to go down easy," Otonashi said, shooting again. Both Ayato and Otonashi had hit her legs, but I had missed. They of course are better than me, but I'll get used to it. I could get used to this world. Not a care, not a worry. It's great fun.
"Amika," Ayato said, snapping me back into reality.
"Oh, yeah," I said, picking up my gun. "Let's do this."
Ayato chuckled. "Okay, on three, shoot, we need to bring her down."
"Okay," I said, raising my gun. For this first time, I actually noticed the music coming from inside the school. It was amazing!
"One, two, three," Ayato counted down.
"Fire!" Otonashi yelled. I shot again, but this time I was ready. I bent my arms a little so I wouldn't hurt them, and gripped the gun as tight as I could. I hit her! Right in the legs! Otonashi and Ayato had hit her as well, but it didn't stop her.
I turned towards the school. Little tan pieces of paper were falling from the sky!
"Run. There's no point in fighting her now," Otonashi said, running towards the school. Ayato followed him, but I stayed put and watched the papers.
"Amika!" Ayato said.
"Coming!" I said. "What are those things?"
"They're meal tickets, from the NPC's. Grab some," Otonashi explained. I did as he said, grabbing 2 handfuls and stuffing them into my shirt pocket. I looked back to where Angel had been, but she was gone. Was she really an angel? I shook my head, following the guys into the building.
