Chapter Two - Fear and Courage
Fear can be an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat [1]. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one and gives one strength in the face of pain or grief [2]. Different as they may be, they are similar in bringing out our deepest emotions and promoting the human nature.
I'm not sure which if these I am feeling as I open the door to the Namimori Middle School's roof. My palms start to sweat as my eyes lock onto the sleeping prefect. Gulping hard and wiping my hands on my skirt, I walk forward. Staring down at the sleeping demon, I cloak my face into an apathetic mask. Raising my foot, I gently nudge him in his side.

Grinding my teeth in frustration, I wrench my foot back and prepare myself to impel my foot into his side. The hit never makes it. Blinking in awe and confusion, I glance down to see a hand clutching onto my ankle. Hard. I look up to see the Demon Prefect glaring his steely-gray eyes at me.
"Herbivore, it is against the school's rules to disturb me from my nap. I'll bite you to death." He growls out. I choke on my own spit and yank my foot out of his grasp. Quickly adjusting myself, I cross my arms under my chest and let another mask of apathetic cover my face.
"I want to join the Disciplinary Committee."
