Tuesday

Yasogami High

Marie walked to school from the train station alone the next morning. She had very mixed feelings about Yasogami High so far. On one hand she was excited to see the friends she had made the previous day, especially Yu. But on the other hand most of her teachers weren't very good at their jobs. There were a few exceptions, like Ms. Suofe, her history teacher, and Morooka. Although King Moron certainly wasn't winning any awards because of how cruel he was, when it came to philosophy he knew what he was talking about.

Why am I so excited to see Yu-kun? I mean, he was really nice to me yesterday, and he introduced me to a lot of his friends. But is that all? When I looked at him yesterday I felt... I don't know, weird?

Her train of thought was broken as she walked through the school gates and immediately saw a tall silver-haired boy standing outside of the school. He was talking to two people, one of which Marie recognized. The one she knew was Naoto, the short bluenette from the previous day. Marie didn't recognize the other girl. She had long brown hair with a red hair band and a matching red cardigan instead of the Yasogami jacket, she was quite beautiful.

Maybe that's his other friend that he mentioned yesterday, Yukiko-san.

But her eyes quickly drifted back to Yu. Suddenly that same fuzzy feeling she had from yesterday.

What is that?

Although curious, she elected to put her questions to the side for the moment and jogged over to the trio.

"Hey Yu-kun!" Marie said happily as she slowed to a stop next to the silverette.

"Oh, hey Marie-chan," Yu said with a smile, but them his face turned to a look of curiosity. "Did you walk to school alone? If you had sent me a text I would have met you at the station and we could have walked to school together." He said, quickly turning back to Naoto.

Marie thought she could hear a change in his voice from yesterday. He almost sounded sad.

Is he disappointed that we didn't walk to school together?

She dismissed it as it just being her imagination and turned to the bluenette. "it's good to see you again Shirogane-san." Marie said smiling warmly.

"The pleasure is all mine, Kasumi-Senpai. But please, call me Naoto-kun from now on." Naoto replied in a respectful tone.

"Only of you call me Marie-Senpai." I said. Naoto thought for a moment.

"Marie-Senpai, you have yourself a deal." Naoto replied stiffly, causing her and Marie to both laugh. The brunette stood to the side awkwardly, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. As per usual Yu took notice of his friends' quietness and spoke up.

"Marie-chan, this is Amagi Yukiko, another friend of mine," He said, drawing Marie's attention to Yukiko. "I mentioned her yesterday, didn't I?"

Marie nodded. "Yeah, you told me about her during lunch yesterday," she confirmed. "It's nice to meet you Amagi-san..." She hesitated for a moment, unsure of wether or not she should speak her mind. "I'm hoping this isn't weird considering I just met you, but you're really pretty."

"O-oh..." Yukiko replied her face flushing. She was used to compliments about her looks, but most of them were from men and most of them were perverted. "Thank you, Kasumi-san. You're... You're quite beautiful as well." She said finally. Marie blushed from the compliment. As she did Yu looked down at the time on his phone.

"Oh, class starts in five minutes. We should probably all get to out rooms." He said. The four of them walked into the school. After saying goodbye to Naoto on the first floor and went up to their classroom on the second floor.

"You moved here all the way from America? That couldn't have been fun." Yukiko said as she placed her bag on her desk and sat down. Yu was sitting diagonal from her and Marie was standing next to her desk looking down at her phone. Yu noticed a student with blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes approach Marie. He was wearing nice dress shoes with expensive looking pants and a fancy white button up shirt with a rose in the lapel. The student stopped next to Marie and leaned on a desk.

"Hey baby. Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" He asked as smoothly as he could. It sounded significantly better than some of the other times he'd used that line on women.

"No, but I scraped my knee when I crawled out of hell." Marie replied not even taking the time to look up from her phone. Yukiko sweatdropped while Yosuke and Chie, who were in the desks behind and in front of Yu both cracked up laughing.

Yu just stared at Marie in stunned silence.

I've never seen anyone reject Teddie so smoothly.

"What?!" The blonde Teddie asked in a shocked voice, moving back as if he had been struck in an over dramatic fashion. "How beary rude of you. You haven't even given me a chance yet!"

Marie chuckled and glanced up from her phone. "I don't need to give you a chance to know I'm not interested," she said. "And a few tips. First, try asking a girls' name before trying to hit on her. Second, if you're going to hit on a girl than don't use such an overused pickup line." She lectured.

"Teddie, that's your go-to pickup line and you've been rejected every time you've used it in the past month. You need to switch up your moves, man." Yosuke said.

Marie's eyes widened in recognition and she glanced at Yu and then back at the blonde. "Wait... You're Teddie?" She asked. The boy looked confused.

"Of course I am. Who else would I be?" Teddie asked. Marie sighed and sat down next to Yu.

"You have a pretty accurate description of what he was like yeaterday, Yu-kun." She said with a giggle. The rest of the group laughed with her, with the exception of Teddie who was muttering complaints under his breath. Suddenly the classroom door opened and King Moron walked in.

"SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP YOU WHORES, CLASS IS STARTING!" He yelled.

The remainder of the school day passed uneventfully. After school Yosuke and Teddie went to work, Kanji and Chie went home, and Yu, Naoto, and Yukiko all walked Marie to the train station.
