Groaning as he shuffled down the crowded sidewalk, Akihito Izaki could feel frustration bubble up within. It seemed that he hardly moved from his spot among the throngs of slow walkers. And if there was anything Izaki despised it was slow walkers. In hindsight, it probably wasn't a good idea to take a walk during lunch time rush but Izaki found himself restless. There was only a day left of summer vacation and then it would be back to school. Izaki found himself looking forward to the second semester as this time, he would be spending it in the E class.

At the thought of the dreaded class, Izaki grinned. This new life in 3-E was sure to be exciting. His time in 3-A and most of the A classes were dull and bored him to tears. The teachers were fake and hardly had the discretion to at least hide it and the students.

Oh god, the students!

Most of them were stuck up and egotistic, which marked themselves as people that Izaki greatly disliked. They were just as fake as the teachers and did so much ass kissing, they might as well be the new forms of toilets on the market. Honestly, it seemed like a majority of the main campus students were sheep who followed in the footsteps of the A class in hope that they would get promoted there as well.

Izaki snorted at their delusions and ran a hand through his blonde hair, messing with the undercut style so that sweat wouldn't make his hair frizzy. If there was one thing Izaki learned about the A class, it was that they accepted no one but their own. They certainly didn't help their fellow A class peers, competition rampant between them, but if you were from B class or below, you were seen as rats close to E class. Of course, every one of them are faker than mannequins, so they didn't show so.

Seeing that the crowd didn't lessen, Izaki ducked into an alleyway and sighed at the lack of stifling heat that groups of people clustered together seemed to generate. He continued on with his thinking. If Izaki had stubble, he would've been rubbing it as he thought. Last year's E class had really stirred excitement as he watched them fight, metaphorically, against A class. They had seemingly come out of nowhere to everyone but Izaki noticed. It was during the first semester's midterm. He didn't know if the E class students knew but every third-year student's grade was posted. Of course, the Karma dude was within the top five (Izaki had never seen him despite his reputation) but Izaki observed that most of the 3-E students had gone up in rank, surpassing some of the D-class students.

Nothing too eye catching.

Then the exhibition match happened.

Then the end of term (Karma seemed to have gone down in rank)

From there on, 3-E was in a proverbial war with the main campus and 3-A. Now Izaki was in that class. It might not be that same but he also observed 3-E class' hijinks. They seemed to be a fun class. The green haired flat chest girl once went on a rant about pudding to one of the former students of 3-C. That boy always flinched in her presence. Then there were the rumors he heard about some blue haired girl intimidating two guys from 3-D. There was also the one about their teacher trying to stab another one during assembly.

Izaki was startled out of his thoughts when he heard blubbering and crying. Although it sounded weird like there was something up someone's nose. His question was answered when at the end of the alleyway, he saw a bunch of what seemed like high school students tied together trying to scoot away from the trio in front them.

Izaki raised a brow as he realized that the trio was actually a duo who surrounded a boy, that he recognized was part of the student council.

Wait...was that wasabi that they were shoving up his nose?

As the boy screamed in pain, the only thing Izaki could think of was what the actual fuck?

Kurashiki was bored and that was a problem. He didn't like being bored. Boredom was the bane of his existence and he wished something would just happen. Of course, he didn't know if he would come to regret that thought later on. What he knows is that there was only one day of summer vacation left and he didn't know how he would spend it.

The feeling of weariness was not something Kurashiki liked dealing with. To some, it might seem like he was being ridiculous but from a young age, he found that he was addicted to the idea of having fun.

An all work no play childhood could do that to someone.

Also an asshole dad but he wasn't counting his grievances.

Kurashiki groaned loudly once more and rolled his crimson red eyes when he got more than few nasty looks his way. He glanced at his watch and decided to head back home before the lunch rush could get ahold of him. Ducking into an alleyway to make the trip back, he wished he'd come upon a cliche student getting mugged scene. Maybe then he'd get some action.

Ask and ye shall receive He thought as he paused at the sight of a familiar face being cornered by what he was sure were three high school students. Holy shit, am I psychic?

"Ora~ What do we have here?" Kurashiki couldn't help the grin that spread on his face as the four of them startled at his appearance. "Alex, buddy, why are you always getting in trouble?"

The hope that glowed on Alex's face at the thought of someone saving him quickly changed into despair when the blonde realized exactly who found them. Kurashiki almost cackled out loud at his misery because even Alex knew that everyone in the alleyway was getting their asses beat.

"Get lost punk," Yankee impersonator number one said as he scowled at brunet, turning his eyes away from Alex who he had pinned against the wall by his collar. Kurashiki didn't even bother to acknowledge their appearances because they were just a cure for his boredom at the moment.

"Why would I do that?" Kurashiki put a hand to his chest in mock sadness "You're bullying my friend there"

"Please beat me black and blue before he gets the chance to do it" Alex was one second away from kissing Yankee impersonator two's feet for his request.

"Wow Kinky"

"Shut up Riku!" The blonde was sniffling crocodile tears before realizing it wasn't Kurashiki that said so.

Every one of them turned to the newcomer who stood behind Kurashiki, whose jaw dropped as he stared at the person. Red hair the colour of blood, sharp golden eyes and a box of strawberry milk in hand, Karma Akabane stood there eyeing them like Kurashiki did not only a few moments ago.

Matsuoka eyed the chessboard in front of him. Both of his bishops were gone and most of his pawns too. He eyed his opponent's pieces taking stock that their queen was gone along with both of their rooks and some of their pawns. Passing a hand through his inky black hair, he tried to formulate a strategy.

"Kouta, hurry up!" His little sister whined at him, playing with the sleeves of her orange jumper in irritation.

"You must have patience Chika" Matsuoka grabbed one of his pawns in contemplation before foregoing what he was going to do.

"Kouta!" She pouted at him "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!"

"So are you ready for school?" He smiled, deliberately ignoring her accusation and stifled a chuckle at her groan of exasperation.

"School is...school" She gave her thoughts and sighed when she was finally able to make a move. Matsuoka noted that it was probably the wrong one to make in amusement "What about you?"

Matsuoka hummed in thought as he allowed his sister to retract her move and assess her impending loss. "What about me?"

He felt her pause before continuing on with her statement "Well, I mean, you're going to Class E right?"

"Indeed I am" Matsuoka moved his rook forward while Chika fidgeted at his lackluster answer.

"From what you told me, isn't it a bad place to be?" Chika frowned "How is that kind of system still in place anyway?"

Matsuoka hummed again, noting that his sister was getting agitated at his noncommittal answers as well as how he was easily beating her.

"Honestly, Chika," Matsuoka noted that he'd dwindled her down to just one of her pawns and her king. "I don't care"

"You don-"

"Checkmate" Chika paused in her question and stared down at the board in disbelief. Her pawn was completely useless and somehow her king had been surrounded.

"Wha-"

"Wow, look at the time" Matsuoka couldn't help the slight snicker that left his lips as he walked towards the kitchen "Tomorrow's the first day of school, so I'll get started on dinner"

"Wai-"

"Be a dear and put the chess board away okay?" Gripping onto a towel Matsuoka choked on his laughter as he heard his sister rage and flip the table in the living room.

Shimizu hummed a song a song as she sat on her bed and pulled up her knee high black socks. She glanced at the mirror in the corner of room eyeing her appearance before nodding in approval. She idly slipped on her black penny loafers while she grabbed her tie from the bed.

"Over and under we go" She muttered to herself and straightened her tie, eyeing the mirror again to confirm that she did it properly and her uniform was on properly. "Ah, where did I put the blazer?"

Leaving her room, she descended the stairs unfazed by how her steps seemed to echo throughout the house.

"There it is" Her voice was barely a whisper as she grabbed the jacket from the couch and carefully pulled it on, noticing that her book bag was on the couch as well. Shimizu took a look at the clock on the wall.

8:00? I have about half an hour to get to school. Do I want breakfast? Shimizu pondered on the thought for a bit before opting to just grab two yogurts from the fridge. While I'm not that far from school, I don't want to push it.

Stuffing her phone and one of the yogurts in her bag, Shimizu grabbed her keys to lock the house and kept the other yogurt on hand to eat on her way to school. Soon she found herself enjoying the walk to Kunugigaoka junior high. Shimizu absentmindedly left the spoon full of strawberry yogurt in her mouth as she wondered about how her second term would be like.

Class 3 E huh?

Shimizu thought of the blonde teacher she caught small sightings of during her time in 2-A.

What are you hiding to have her here?

AND I'M DONE

INTROS ARE DONE

NOW WE CAN FINALLY GET STARTED
