Slumping through the dorm hallway, Makoto reached his door. Fiddling with his keychain, he pulled his door's key out and slid it into the lock. "Argh! I swear it turned this way!" Makoto kept forcing the lock to turn, but to no avail. After a good minute, he slammed his head into the door. Giving his doorknob a hardy pull down, the door swung open and Makoto slammed down onto his carpeted floor. "Ahhh!"

Makoto stood back up slowly, dusting his pants legs. "Of course it wasn't locked, who would've thought?" He mumbled. Makoto ripped off his shoes, throwing them to his right, into the kitchen. With a loud "Hmph," Makoto fell onto his bed. It was an understatement to say he was tired. He was exhausted and he didn't want to deal with any bullshit for the rest of the day. Needless to say, he was gonna run into that bullshit soon enough.

Laying on his bed for a quiet five minutes, loud knocks vibrated on his door. "Naegi! Are you in there?" The voice belonged to Leon Kuwata, who Makoto had ran into earlier this morning.

Makoto rolled off his bed and peeked through the hole. Leon was standing there, looking down the left side of the hall. "Hey Kuwata, whats up?" Asked Makoto, opening the door.

"Well I saw you this morning, you were in such a rush that we didn't have any time to talk. So that's why I'm here," He explained.

Rubbing his eyes, Makoto said, "Oh cool. Come in, we can talk in my room." Leon walked in, with Makoto shutting the door behind him. "Sit anywhere if you want."

Taking a seat in Makoto's black desk chair, Leon asked, "So, why the rush Naeg's? Did ya have a hot date or something?"

Makoto sat cross legged on his bed, head in his hands. "Well, you remember when we were in the Nurse's office after Owada threw you, right?"

"How could I forget what that piece of shit did to me? Frankly Naeg's, I'm surprised I recovered so quickly," Leon replied, folding his arms.

"When Headmaster Kirigiri pulled me out to talk to him in the hallway, he gave me an opportunity to complete my community hours and make money at the same time."

Holding out his hands, Leon interjected, "Isn't that not community hours though? If you're making a profit from benefiting the community, then that doesn't count for your hours."

"You're absolutely right Kuwata, but I did some things for Mr. Kirigiri and he was able to pull some strings for me," Makoto answered.

"You must really be the Ultimate Lucky Student, huh?' He joked, fully aware of Makoto's problems with his luck, 'Anyways, what offer did the headmaster give you?"

"He offered me the hours, and in return I'm supposed to drive an Uber,' Makoto replied shaking his head slowly, 'I had my first job late last night, so I fell asleep at like three AM. I awoke at 8:00 today and noticed that someone else needed my assistance. So when I saw you, I had no time to talk."

Leon looked at Makoto, not saying anything. Just watching. "I'm not surprised, you're always looking to help others. It's like this job was made for you," Leon spoke, rubbing his red-orange goatee.

"You really think that?"

Standing up from the chair, Leon sat down next to Makoto on the bed. "Listen, Naeg's,' he exclaimed, putting his hands on Makoto's shoulders, 'You can ask anyone if you're the nicest person they met, and they would have the same answer that I said to you. Even if your luck brings you down, your hope shines thr-"

"Ding!" A vibration and a noise interrupted Leon's speech. 'I'm sorry Leon, hold that thought while I check this out."

12:21 PM: Hinata needs your help! Meet them at the destination attached.

"What does Hajime want?' Makoto mumbled, 'I'm really sorry Kuwata, but I gotta go."

"Hey Naeg's, when duty calls you gotta respond y'know?" Leon said, standing up and stretching.

Finally putting on socks, Makoto exclaimed, "Maybe we can catch up over dinner, or something like that?"

"I'm free whenever you aren't called to do your job," Leon joked, standing near the door.

It didn't take long for Makoto to put on his shoes, grab his keychain, and turn off the lights, as the pair walked out of the dorm and into the hallway. "Well, see you around Kuwata," Makoto said, showing his hand to Leon.

"You too Naeg's," Leon replied, taking Makoto's hand and shaking it. After, Leon spun around and walked down the hallway and into his room.

"12:23, I still got time," Naegi said to no one. Walking downstairs, and into the lobby, he left the dorm building and back into the chilly November air.

[Break]

Naegi was chilling in his car, outside the Hope's Peak Library. The building was made from white bricks, and steps leading into the entrance door on the side. White columns were placed on the front side facing Naegi. A cobblestone pathway led from the street, where Makoto was, to the steps.

A familiar knock rang from Makoto's side window. Putting his phone into the cup holder, Makoto rolled down the window and appeared to his upper classmate/friend Hajime Hinata. He was decked out in his usual attire of a button-up, white shirt, and his green tie. He also sported black pants, with his signature Ahoge very similar to Makoto's. "Hey Naegi, I didn't know you were an Uber driver." He spoke.

"I got an offer from the Headmaster to do this, so I took it,' Makoto answered, 'How have things been Hinata?"

Shrugging, the latter answered, "Not much, I'm just being roped into spying on a date because my friend likes the girl and he wants to sabotage it. It's really the same thing he's been doing since the school year started."

"Hinata! Shut the fuck up and let's do this already! The quicker we're there, the faster we'll help this dumbass's job!"

"Hey! It's not a job if it's for love y'know! Besides, why would you three agree to help me do this anyway!"

"Are you fuckin' serious? You're blackmailing us to help you shithead!"

"Oh yeah! That's right! And there's nothing you can do about it!"

"Frankly, I'm already an ignorant, soulless, ultimate that no cares for. If you show anyone that picture, no one would change their opinion on me."

"Shut up Komaeda!"

Hajime looked back at Makoto, in which the latter said, "Just get in." Hajime waved his three 'friends' over and they squeezed into Makoto's Rogue. Hajime sitting in the front. Behind Makoto was a boy who went by, Nagito Komaeda. He was Class 77's Ultimate Lucky Student. He had cray white hair, a green jacket, white tee-shirt, and black pants. The people who knew him, like Hajime, would've said he was insane. He always thought lowly of himself, yet people noticed he loved hope. While loving despair at the same time. Needless to say, he was an odd one.

Behind Hajime was the Ultimate Mechanic, Kazuichi Soda. He had sharp teeth, pink hair covered by a maroon beanie, and a green jumpsuit. This was the guy blackmailing his friends. Everyone knew he liked his classmate, the Ultimate Princess Sonia Nevermind, from Class 77. He was a nice person at heart, but a little stalkerish.

In between the two ultimates is the rather vulgar and feared Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu the Ultimate Yakuza. While not the head of the Yakuza clan, he was the heir to the throne. While he sported a blonde crewcut, and a black suit with black pants, his face could be described as babyish.

Overall, these four classmates were almost connected to the hip. Nagito, well, not so much. Soda was the first to speak up, "To the Towa Beach, Mr. Uber driver! And floor it!"

Listening to Kazuichi's words, Makoto sped off onto the road. "I don't get why you can't just let Sonia and Gundham be happy together, Soda," Hajime asked, staring at the road.

"Pffft, come on Hinata, all of us know Miss Sonia would be much happier with me! Who wouldn't?"

"Every fuckin' girl," Fuyuhiko explained.

"Alas, no one would date such a lowly person like me, huh?" Nagito exclaimed.

"Shut up Komaeda!" Everyone yelled.

The beach was farther than Makoto had previously thought. Japan was skinny, but the capital city definitely wasn't near the border. "If I may ask, why would they have a date at the beach in November?" Makoto asked.

Crossing his arms, Kazuichi responded, "I dunno man, but something fishy is going on at that date. Gundham's probably gonna use his hamsters to kidnap Miss Sonia! I know it!"

"That's definitely not it Soda. Besides, Mr. Sakakura would be notified right away anyway." Hajime explained.

"Still can't rule that possibility out, Hinata. You don't know what goes on in that Breeder's head y'know."

Fuyuhiko spoke up, "No one fuckin' knows what goes through your head either dipshit!"

Kazuichi was offended at Fuyuhiko's words, exclaiming, "My head is full of genius ideas Kuzuryu. You just can't see them!"

"Maybe they're having a date at the beach, because they thought you wouldn't check there. They clearly know that you've been spying on their dates," Nagito pondered out loud.

"Shut up Komaeda-"

"I'll cut through your words!' Hajime yelled, to Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi, 'No, Komaeda's definitely on to something here. If you think about it, the beach is practically the worst place for a date in November."

"Well, well. Little old me said something useful," Nagito said, looking at his nails.

"W-Well, your date at the arcade wasn't that better! Gross little kids running around, that weird stench, and what about those mysterious stains on the carpeted floor!" Kazuichi yelled back at Hajime, pointing his finger at him.

"I"m sorry my girlfriend's the Ultimate Gamer! She really enjoyed that place y'know. Wait, how did you know we went on a date there?" Hajime asked, skeptically.

"I can answer that one!' Nagito exclaimed, 'Ever since you and Chiaki got chummy with one another, Soda, here, wanted to spy on your date to see if you two were an item or not."

"Shut up Komaeda!"

An awkward moment of silence dawned upon the air. The car's engine being the only sound in everyone's ears.

"Are ya mad Hinata?" Kazuichi asked.

Another moment of silence went by until Hajime answered, "No, I'm not mad. However, I would like you three to apologize to Chiaki when we get back from this spy trip."

"Alas! We are here, and the main conflict has been resolved! Perfect timing," Nagito said.

"Great, now let's fuckin' get out," Fuyuhiko exclaimed, opening the door and stepping out. Kazuichi followed him out, while Nagito went out his own door. Leaving Hajime and Makoto alone.

"Are you gonna be okay Hinata?" Makoto asked, worried.

"Yeah, yeah I will be. Thanks for the ride to Makoto by the way. I hope your next few people aren't crazy as my friends, hehe." Hajime replied, rubbing his neck.

"It's safe to say I had a few crazy people so far, but I'm dealing with them okay."

"Hey! Stop fuckin around! We got work to do y'know!" Yelled Fuyuhiko from outside.

"Good luck Naegi," Said Hajime, handing him a stack of bills and leaving the car.

Putting the money in his glove box, Makoto brought down his seat and leaned back. Surely, that was the end of the bullshit for one day. Except, of course, it wasn't.
