"Would you like to join us?" Kim asked, extending her arm. Sahiye sighed, looking away. "Friends should stick together! And you two are my friends!" Kaede observed the small change in Sahiye's face. The word "friend" lightened up her expression, changing her unenthusiastic face into a slight smile.
Kaede grew nervous. Was it a joke? To mock him? To laugh at him when he falls for it?
"Kaede, do you want to come?" She wiggled her fingers, signaling him to join. He grew even more nervous. Did she pity him? Was that why she was being kind? Because she disliked him, yet felt she needed to help him?
"Are you coming or not?" Sahiye snapped. "We don't have all day. Either you're coming with us or you're standing here for the next two hours."

The afternoon played over and over in his head. He laid on his bed, hugging his pillow. Did someone actually like him? Someone actually wanted to spend time with him? It must have been some sort of a lie. He wasn't very likable, not nearly as likable as someone else like Linnie who had gained respect of quite a few of the others.

He stood up out of his bed after a good twenty minutes, and walked out of his room. He walked about the hallways bearing a smile he couldn't keep back. The thought of having a friend in the scary place he was trapped in made him warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Walking through the halls of the dormitory, he wished for only two things: a piano, and for Kim and Sahiye to come out of Sahiye's room to join him outside.

The two went in there shortly after Kim had caught up to Sahiye after the encounter with Tara.
Kaede walked about in circles and after an hour ran into Kim who's hand of which was being held by Sahiye, apparently coming back from a walk themselves.

From across the hallway, Kim called for Kaede. Once she had gotten his attention, she ran towards him, with Sahiye close behind.
"Wait for me, Kim!" Sahiye yelled. Kaede was for sure that was the first time she didn't say something offending. He also noted how quick Kim was to forgive her. Just that morning, Kim was yelling at her, and she sat, unsure of what to say. For a moment he saw through it. Just like him, she was nervous. Nervous of how people thought of her, so she did the opposite of him: spoke roughly about people.

"Kaede! Wanna hang out with us? We were just looking for you! Let's go get a snack!" Kim took Kaede's arm and dragged him around the corner with Sahiye.

Around the corner was a sight no lesser than strange. Outside of Linnie's room, or what Dangan Ronpa fans would call Maizono's room, Jecker stood, staring through the crack of the door, giggling.

"I don't even want to know," Sahiye said, catching the attention the attention of Jecker.

"Crap," he said, before running off.

"... That language was more appropriate than his usually word choice..." Kim noted.

"He seemed happy..." Kaede whispered.

"Let's just forget it and get snacks," Sahiye said, pulling both Kim and Kaede to the kitchen.

The three stood in the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Kaede was observing the raw ingredients, fruits, vegetables, the foods left on the counter. Kim looked about in cabinets. Sahiye looked in the fridge.

Shutting the fridge door, Sahiye spoke. "There's nothing good, just random foods that'll only be good when cooked."

"Do any of us know how to cook?" Kim said, shutting the cabinets.
"I can sort of bake..." Kaede claimed.

"That'll do..." Sahiye mumbled. "How can I help?"

"Y-you don't have to..." Kaede said nervously.

"Of course I do. Kim says we're friends and friends help each other... At least that's what I've heard..."

"O-oh!" Kaede looked at Kim, who blushed.

"I-it's true!" Kim exclaimed. Kaede turned around grabbing ingredients and placed them on the center counter.

"Let's get started!" He said, smiling.

I don't really have much to say other than:

For those who havent noticed, there's a poll on my page and you can guess who's going to die next. (I have already decided, this will not persuade my decision) I also fixed a small issue and you can vote for more than one person.

Second, I finally fixed a glitch on my computer and I can access my files again. Yay! That means I can write chapters and post them again!

Third, I'm off to write some chapters right now.
