After switching between Sayaka and the other two appearing three times and then appearing on three separate occasions, I decided to do the second one since I wanted to move the plot forward. Either way, please enjoy this chapter

Chapter 11: Getting to know your classmates! Part 2

After returning to my room, I decided to go talk to someone again.

Sayaka Maizono

When I was walking around, I met up with Sayaka again. She was smiling as greeted me. We both talked about how our day has been. Then I wanted to ask a question about something.

"So, um, Sayaka?" I asked her. "How did you know about Makoto?"

Sayaka thought for a moment before speaking again. "Well, I've known him since middle school."

I was surprised by this comment. "Wait, really?!"

"Well, I haven't actually 'known' him." Sayaka explained. "I was actually looking at him around that time."

"Huh?" I looked at her in confusion until I realized what she meant. "Wait, you have been stalking him throughout middle school?!"

This time she was surprised by this before saying. "No, I haven't been stalking him! It's just that I have been looking for an opportunity to talk to him."

"Oh goodness…" I looked down in embarrassment. "Sorry about that…"

"It's okay, really." She said as she reassured me. "Well I always wanted to talk to him but since I always had so many people around, we ended up graduating without saying a word." She then looked down in disappointment. "That was one of my biggest regrets."

"But, why did you want to talk to him?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Well, there was this huge bird that wandered into the school pond." She explained. "It was like a fairy tale. The turtle once every million years, the bird once every thousand. Do you know what it was?"

I thought about it for a moment before answering. "So you're saying that a crane was wandering around in the pond?"

"That's right!" Sayaka confirmed. "It was so big, the teacher had no idea what to do." She then smiled. "But Makoto led it into the forest behind the school. He helped it find its way out."

So he's really nice that he was able to lead it into the forest." I thought to myself. "That's pretty amazing…"

"But, um, I already thank him for that." She abruptly said.

"Huh? Why?" I asked out of confusion.

"Because I was that crane, you see." Sayaka said with a smile. "And I was able to return that favor."

I was completely surprised and confused by this. "W-What the goodness?!"

Sayaka then giggled. "Just kidding!"

"Oh… I see…"

"But I was really impressed." She continued. I wanted to talk to him for the longest time. But I never imagine that this is how I got my chance…"

Yeah, it is weird… I thought to myself.

"But I'm sure that he would help find a way out." She said. "It's just an intuition but I still believe in it."

"Oh, um, okay!" I said with little enthusiasm. "If you believe in it then I will too!"

She smiled. "Well, let's go back for now."

Then we walked back into our rooms while just talking about something.

Leon Kuwata

After talking to Sayaka, I was exploring the area to find Leon. We both greeted each other. We talked for a little while before his mood became serious.

"Well, um, Nepgear?" He suddenly went silent before he went with a fully blunt response. "Let's play baseball!" Then he grinned. "Kidding, kidding! That was a joke. Super joke! I hate baseball!"

But he went silent again. He let out a sigh which was something that I noticed. "Leon, do you really hate baseball?"

This startled Leon for a bit. "Wh-What are you talking about?! Don't be stupid!" He said heatedly. "I hate baseball! I absolutely hate it! I, like, don't like it at all!" He glared at me for a few seconds until he deflated. "...is what I thought. But actually….this is the longest I've ever gone without playing, ya know? I mean, I was so good, they forced me to play like, all the time."

"And being away for so long has changed your perspective on it?" I clarified for him.

Then Leon suddenly growled in frustration. "Dammit! It's like mind control! Baseball brainwashed me!"

No, I don't think that's it…

"But fine, whatever! I just wanna throw the ball around a little! But I can't play baseball by myself!" Leon groaned. "I never shoulda come to this school!"

"Leon…" I said quietly.

"If what's happening to us really is some kinda school event thing, then when it's over, I think I'm gonna drop out and go back to my old school." Leon told me. "Maybe my team won't want me back, but all I can do is beg for forgiveness and hope for the best."

"But I'm sure they'll be happy to have you back." I reassured him.

Leon then nodded in agreement, grinning with confidence. Yeah, they can't just drop someone as good as me! I'm sure they'll forgive me no problem! I mean, it's me, right?! I'm the up and coming Koshien Stadium Superstar!" He laughed. "Well I told Makoto about this but you would root for me, right?"

"Um, sure…" I nervously said.

Well, I haven't known him for that long but It's kinda hard for me to hate him… I thought to myself. Is this how Leon truly feels?

Then I waved him goodbye and walked away.

Junko Enoshima

After I walked away from Leon, I went to the A/V room to look at the monitors. Trying to figure out it's mechanics or something.

Little did I know, someone was walking to me. "Heeey, Nepgear~!" Junko called out. "Are you slacking off?"

I quickly turned to her in surprise. "W-What? No, that's not it." I said as I denied it. But then I corrected myself. "Well, kinda. I was a little bit interested in this room so that's why I'm here. Guess I was bored."

Junko then sighed. "Yeah, me too." She admitted. "Let's chill for a while!" Then she sat down on one of the seats.

We both didn't talk that much for a moment, just relaxing, before Junko spoke up again. "Hey, Nepgear? Can I tell you something?" Instead of her usual perky tone, it was softer. "I only told Makoto about this but…"

"Sure, what is it?" I asked her as I sat down on one of the chairs.

"My true intentions." She answered.

"Huh?" I then thought for a moment. What did she mean by that?

"To be honest, I'm kinda fed up with all of this." Junko said softly. "I even wonder about it as well."

I looked at her in confusion. "I'm confused, what do you mean by that?"

At that, she stayed silent for a while. After a moment, she spoke again. "Dreams are meant to change as you grow up, right? Depending on where you're at- kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school….but I've had the same dream since I was a little kid, and I've been rushing towards it ever since." She then looked down in frustration. "So I've never really had to think all that hard about my dreams."

"So that means that you still feel the same way?" I asked her curiously.

"That's what I used to think." She admitted. "But if it doesn't change, your possibilities can't grow, right? That's how new opportunities are born. And up until now, I never did that. I never let my dreams grow. All I saw was that one dream. I put everything I had into that one narrow little world." And then, she clenched her hands into a fist. "I feel like there's so much more I could be doing that I'm not, and I don't like that feeling. So I think I'm going to start looking for it. Is it childish of me to think like that? Am I just being a baby?"

"No, I don't think that's it." I reassured her. "I'm kinda in the same position. I don't know what else is out there. I don't remember anything at all. But…" I then finished it off what I have to say. "I think the most important thing is that you're looking for it."

This completely shocked Junko. "This… what Makoto told earlier…" She then thought for a moment. "Which make you just as cool as him!"

"Huh…? What…?!" I suddenly got out of my trance state. "Oh, goodness, I didn't mean to…"

"But you're both right!" Junko interrupted. "Getting lost can be a good thing! As long as you're looking for it, maybe that's enough to be happy." A smile entered her lip. "Yeah. I'm gonna remember what you both said. Thank you."

"Oh, um, sure!" I smiled in embarrassment.

"In return, I promise that if I do decide to kill someone, it won't be either of you!" She said with a big smile.

That scared me for a little bit. "P-Please don't say stuff like that!" But Junko just laughed it off, making me think about what I just said. Why did I say something like that?! Either way, I guess I got to know her a lot more better…

"But before I can do what you said, I gotta get out of here first!" She stated abruptly. "So I'm definitely gonna find out how to get out!" With that, she walked off.

Please don't yelled about it now! I thought to myself. But I guess she do it like that…

After resting up in the A/V room, I started walked back to my room thinking. It's almost at the end… I thought to myself. After getting to know them, they seem like really nice people… I then sighed. But still, when are we getting out of here?

When I walked back to room, I saw Sayaka and Makoto talking to each other.

"Oh, um, hey Makoto. Hey Sayaka." I said as greeted them. "What are you two talking about?"

"Well, um…" Sayaka thought for a moment before answering. "Can I ask you something?"

"Um… sure?" I was a little confused by what she wanted to asked me.

She then dropped a question that I wasn't prepared for. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

This caught me off guard. "Huuuuuh?!" I felt like a blush spread on my face. "I mean like, no… And…"

"Oh, I see…" Sayaka then thought for a moment before asking. "Do you have a crush on someone?"

Then a thought ran across my mind and I blush even harder. "I mean… um… I don't know…" I suddenly run back into my room.

"Wait, Nepgear! Where are you going?!" Sayaka called out.

I didn't want to answer her, instead I immediately closed the door and locked it.

What…? I don't know what going on with me. And that same thought cross my mind. Why am I having these weird thoughts in my head?!

I slowly calm down for a little bit. I guess I'll sleep for now…

I lied back down on my bed and sleep.

That is all for the non-canon stuff! I've decided to have each character appear only once for now. I'm really excited to show Nepgear's motive and how she would react to it. And godamnit! Stop brainwashing me, BreadNotDead! Well, either way, Please Review and Stay Safe!
