'Hello again, Hopes Peak Academy'
ただいま希望ヶ峰学園
Amayas P.O.V.
It was dark.
The sky above me was painted scarlett. Just like the blood of the victims of all this despair.
How could a world once thriving with hope become one that was drowning in complete despair. A world once filled with light was now falling into darkness.
And it was all because of me.
I shot up from my bed, my clothes drenched in sweat and tears. Ever since I was asked to join Hopes Peak I constantly had the same nightmare of that world filled with despair. The worst thing was that I was always responsible in some way, and in all honesty, it terrified me.
I shook my head of the thought and climbed out of the warm comfort of my bed, my feet touched the chilly wooden floor, causing me to flinch at the sudden coldness.
Ignoring the uncomfortable feeling, I walked towards my closet and opened it up to choose out an outfit for the day.In the end I chose some white jean shorts, a black tank top, black converse and a gray hoodie incase it got cold. I put my hair in a high ponytail with a white bow and didn't bother with makeup.
I went downstairs and grabbed an apple before heading out, not bothering to say goodbye as I already knew no one was home to hear it.
I headed towards the nearby park, eating the apple on the way. I thought about the event that had took place less than a week beforehand and what I was going to do. I only had a few days before I joined and I didn't want my siblings finding out about my career. I had already decided to disguise as someone else but I also had to figure out how to get back home and change out of that disguise before the got back.
Not to mention, Peko would also pay close attention to me, especially since transfer students are extremely rare at Hopes Peak.
I decided not to think about it and instead head to the park, get ice cream and relax for the day. My plan couldn't be any simpler.
My plan turned out much harder than expected.
First, I had to avoid Fuyuhiko and Peko on their 'date', which I didn't want to ruin because they would be extremely cute together even if they don't realise it. Then, I nearly had a run in with Natsumi and one of her friends, which, to be honest, I didn't have the energy to deal with. And finally, I had to save a young girl from some bullies, which resulted in a kick to the stomach and possibly a few bruises. However, the girl was adorable when she said thankyou and gave me a hug.
After that I finally reached the park after what seemed like an eternity. I bought a cookie dough ice cream and headed towards a set of swings. I sat on one and and ate the ice cream while scrolling through my emails.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything interesting and ended up just putting in some earphones then listening to whatever music I could find on the device.
I stayed there until I finished my ice cream then decided to head back to my house.
The skies had started to turn grey and the streets suddenly seemed completely deserted. The wind had started to pick up and I was thankful for the hoodie that I was wearing, without it is would have been freezing.
I quickened my pace as I felt a few drops of moisture hit my face. I questioned how the weather could change so drastically in just a few minutes.
The small drizzle of rain soon turned into a full on storm and I tried my best to move as quickly as possible so I could reach the warm safety of my home.
Today just wasn't my day.
I finally reached the comforting confines of my house and rushed inside to get away from the cold. A rush of warm air hit me as soon as I entered, to which I was thankful for. My eyes started drooping which reminded me of how tired I was.
I decided to take a warm bath and change into some warm pyjamas. I grabbed a cup of hot chocolate and spent the rest of the day lying I bed and relaxing until everyone else returned.
I woke up to my alarm ringing in my ear and quickly remembered that it was the day I had to join Hopes Peak.
I scrambled out of bed and rushed towards the bathroom for a shower. I get washed then grab a towel and head back to my room. I grabbed my uniform and quickly changed into it before entering my closet in search of a disguise. I ended up wearing a long silver wig, which I put in a ponytail with a blue bow, and sky blue contacts. I covered up the faint freckles that were scattered over my nose with some foundation and applied a bit of makeup before leaving my room.
I made sure no one was around before exiting the house and heading off to Hopes Peak Academy.
I stood in front of the two large steel gates and took a deep breath before walking towards the main entrance. The yard was extremely deserted, which wasn't surprising since most people would probably be in class by now. Honestly, I was quite happy, I had never been one for crowds, I always preferred silence.
I headed straight to my assigned class which was on the first floor. Earlier that week I had received my acceptance letter along with my timetable, which mainly took place in the same classroom and had no specified lessons.
I soon reached class 1B and knocked on the door. I heard a female voice saying a loud 'come in' and I silently made my way into the classroom.
I could feel everyone's eyes gazing at me in confusion as I stood at the front of the class, but I didn't bother to look up.
"Everyone, this is our new transfer student, why don't you introduce yourself?" A female teacher around her early twenties announced.
I gave a slight nod before looking up at the class, which seemed to only have five people in at that moment. I noticed Fuyuhiko at the back on his own. Cold as always I see.
"My name is Emilia Nikiforov, I'm the Ultimate Figure Skater. It's nice to meet all of you," I said in a quiet but cheerful voice.
"I'm Chisa Yukizome. I'm new here too so I guess we can help each other out," the overly enthusiastic teacher cheered. "Choose a seat and then we'll start." I quickly headed towards the seat at the back near the window.
"First things first, time to find the rest of the class," Yukizome-sensei announced just as I sat down.
And that's how we ended up being dragged around the school in search of the rest of the class. About half the day later we only had two more students to find and me being as unlucky as I was, ended up being the only student dragged along with the annoyingly cheerful teacher.
The first of the two was Ryouta Mitarai, Ultimate Animater. A chubby boy we had to forcefully drag out of his cave like bedroom.
The second was a slightly easier target, Chiaki Nanami, Ultimate Gamer. We found her at the fountain with a tall, dark brown haired reserve course student, who I found to be called Hajime Hinata.
As soon as we reached the classroom I collapsed in my seat and lay my head on the table, too exhausted to move.
"Well class, that's all for today. Make sure to turn up tomorrow so I don't have to find you and drag you here again," Yukizome-sensei announced. Even though she said it in her usual 'happy-go-lucky' tone, the words still gave me shivers.
I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the class as soon as the bell rang. Hopefully I would arrive back before Fuyuhiko so he doesn't recognise me.
