Am going to try upload this chapter as quickly as I can while also keeping it not to rushed.

*My Kazuha bookbag arrived 🥹*

Also, idk if anyone else Is trying to join snailords fanart contest.

Now onto the story~✨

Reader's Pov-

After coming back to the house Ritsu and I went to our own accomodations.

The way back I tease him slightly but then it's just got kinda awkward.

Waiting for someone else to show up I spent my evening just sketching and sleeping.

Soon, when I woke up from my nap I heard voices talking downstairs.

The door cracked, light from below shining through the open space.

'huh? Must be night time...'

.
.
.

" Is anyone of you boys going to go get y/n-chan from upstairs?"

" I'll get her."

"Thank you Shigeo dear."

.
.
.

"Mom about y/n..."

"What is it Ritsu?"

" I just wanted to know how long are you planning on letting her stay here..."

"As long is she needs but seeing as she has no one. I'll feel bad just kicking her out."

"At this rate she probably can stay in the family."

"Who knows maybe she might want to be adopted or~"

"Or what?"

"One of my son's marry her into the family,"
"when the timing is right of course."

.
.
.

"Yeah sure mom, wait what-'

"Mom?!"

"I'm just teasing dear, but who knows you've boys seemed to be getting really close."

"Wouldn't be surprised those sorts of thoughts have entered your mind some point of time..."

"Or is it Ritsu you already have eyes for someone else!"

"There's no one mom-!"

"Oh, I hear them coming down, go help your father serve the food."

.
.
.
.
.

My neck feels stiff probably shouldn't have slept like that for so long...

Anyway today's food is different but not too bad.

Kinda taste like Mexican food.

" Mr. Kageyama is this Mexican food by any chance?"

"Yes, see at least someone in this house can tell."

"Yeah and who was it that have to deal with the aftermath of your cooking and trial and error."

"Ritsu be nice to your father."

.
.
.
"I'm going to pretend that my on flesh and blood didn't say that comment -"

"Anyway, how could you tell y/n?"

"I've only knew because a co-worker of mine travels over seas and brings Mexican food time to time."

"I got curious and started trying recreating dishes but it's hard to come by for ingredients..."

.
.
.

"It's fine, but I know because I'm used to cooking all sorts of different food although it's been awhile since I had Mexican food."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it has been like hmmm...."
"-about two years and maybe longer than that."

"A good green salsa would go good with this."

"Just add some garlic, onion, pre-boiled green tomatoes with cumin & salt into a blender."

"Volah! You have salsa verde."

"Oh, y/n- chan who knew you were so knowledgeable about different cuisines!"

"You flatter me too much-"

.
.

I'm not used to compliments since Kurumi.../(Saki's mom)

"Oh, y/n-chan if you enjoy staying here how about we start enrolling you in school where the boys go."

"You mentioned you did home school before, but I think it's best if you went in person..."

Nooooooo!!!
I've actually been liking my me time and not doing an inch of school work the past months-

Can I come back to society as a functional student I wonder...?

"Yeah... But are you even able to."

"I don't have a guardian on paper to enroll me into a public or private school."

.
.
.

"Nonsense, trust me I have my ways and can get you enrolled no problem."

"I can get your uniform and supplies by tomorrow."

"...?"

"Yeah, once mom's set on something she won't back down."

" Your around Shigeo's age you might have to be in that grade since you've been out of school for so long."

If I was in Pk academy, I would be in my last year...

In my world I would be a junior/11th grade.

Welp I guess two more years to graduation would have happen either way...

"I guess that's fine..."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Oh, dear you don't have to be so formal you can call me mom or mother!"

"Mom you can stop..."

"What Ritsu I can't let her call me mom? "

"Look your brother here doesn't seem to mind."

"Hmm?"

"Just don't pay those two any mind Son okay don't let them rope you into this argument."

"Okay, dad."

I suspect the obvious I started this argument without even speaking first...

.
.
.

"-and that is how I ended up going to public school."

"With today my first day."

"Sorry for laughing but Mrs. Kageyama is too funny-"

"Haruto just get me some breakfast before I'm late."

"Okay, okay."

"So, are you walking with one of the brothers or flying solo?"

"I said I'll meet up with them at the school gate since Ritsu is already headed there and Shigeo is a late riser."

"Don't worry he'll make it just barely."

"I have to head to the office first and later get a tour."

"Still, kinda astonishing that she was able to get me into school in more so in a day without me having any documentation."

"In that sense, it kinda terrifies me and how scary she can be with her connections..."

.
.
.
.
.

Oh, boy I haven't been in a school uniform in so long.

I hope I have some decent teachers and classmates.

Maybe if I know the course already I can take a nap...

.
.
.

"Huh? Why does this atmosphere feels familiar."

.
.
.

"Make way it's Tsubomi!"

"I wonder what's life like to be her!"

"So pretty..."

.
.
.
.

Oh, I see why it's dam familiar.

Another popular/pretty blueberry.
Aka, Teruhashi's parallel twin.

I'll admit she is pretty and I can see why but I still don't really know her.

If anything I'm not going to judge someone based on their appearance.

I'll keep my distance from Tsubomi but I don't know if that's possible if we have the same class and are seated beside each other...

I don't see that mob anywhere...

Guess I'll go in the school gates and try locating the office.

.
.
.
.

Well that was what I was trying to do before my dumb unaware self notice I bumped into Tsubomi.

Having one of her friends spill a drink near her and a bit on hair.

She pulled it off like Sakumoto or kokomi would.

Make it seem not like an accident and strike a cool pose while seeming pretty at the same time...

These types of people are whole different breed.

.
.
.

She didn't get mad at me surprisingly.

I apologized to her but I had some burning feeling I was being looked upon.

Feeling judgemental eyes on me...

At times like this being able to read people's minds would be handy.

On the other hand, maybe it's for the best I don't know her thoughts...

.
.
.

After a good 3 minutes of trying to get someone to help point me of the direction of the office.

I arrived where my now advisor sat across from me.

She seem quite puzzled on what classes I really need although she just went along Mrs. Kageyama's suggestions.

" L/n, Y/n is it?"

"Yes, ma'am"

"I'll put you in these classes for the time being and we'll see how you do in these courses."

"Here's a brief list and summary of the many clubs & sports here."

"I'll send someone later after your first period to give you a tour of the whole school building."

"Ask any faculty and staff for assistance."

"Your homeroom is *** and welcome to Salt Highschool."

.
.
.

First day back in school,
Should I try to make friends or keep to myself...

Let's see if the kids in my class I like their vibe.

Wait-

Was that mob over there trying to rush over to homeroom?

Guess I'll follow him- beats trying to locate the classroom.

I won't be like Zoro lost lol.

.
.
.

Oh, the teacher finally step out of class to tell me when he gives the cue to come in and introduce myself.

" Today we have a new transfer student, be kind and respectful and try not to get to loud."

" You may come in."

I can see why he didn't yell since the room isn't necessary sound proof and I can hear some of the conversations inside.

All the boys are wondering if I the transfer student is a girl while the girls hope it's a boy or at least a pretty and charismatic girl.

I can't read their mind but it seems like their expectations of me is already beyond my limit...

I'll try not tripping or embarrassing myself but something always is bound to happen-

Here goes nothing -

" Hi, I'm l/n, y/n "

"Um my favorite food is f/f and I'm not judgemental."

"Also, I like to try and meet new experiences so please you don't have to worry much about me."

I know your supposed to say pls take care of me but honestly I don't like being a burden or having people worry much about me.

I bowed and then raise my body up to see if the teacher has an assign seat for me.

It seem like he did and I'm sat towards the back middle row.

Shigeo is just a few seats away, he's also near the back except on the left.

I'm sitting near this random girl with brown hair and wait -

.
.
.
.

Tsubomi ?!

I didn't know she was in this class, pls I beg of u Kamisama don't let this be another kokomi situation.

Also, unlike in Pk academy I don't know any of these kids except Shigeo and I know Tsubomi by name.

We'll see if I get bombarded later or what impression I've made on them.

.
.
.

Uuuuhhhhh....

This class is so boooorrriiinnnnggg-

Only every once in a while class clowns would make the class laugh and people laugh at when Shigeo messes up or caught sleeping which isn't necessary nice.

I already know this info and now we are in English.

I really only need to focus on Japanese history and language.

Math is always same and science is similar.

I just knew it by different name.

Only the girl beside me spoke to me once asking if I need some help on the material.

Which was kind but honestly I just want to sleep.

.
.
.
.

3rd period only started for a while and it's lunch soon from what I heard.

.
.
.
.

" Hey, new girl the office wants you to come."

I didn't even get to eat my lunch...

Guess I'm getting that your sooner than I thought.

I waved goodbye at shigeo while I left the classroom.

The walk back to the office was pretty peaceful and quiet.

I wonder who's going to be my tour guides or is this for something else...

Well this is the office, I see some figures in the principal office through the window.

A dark haired figure and light brown haired one.

" Ah, you have arrived."
"These two would be your school tour guides."

" Their both members from the student council."

I recognize the ravenette.

It appears the brown haired figure I saw was the girl who sat bedside me in class.

She's seems pretty excited to show me around while Ritsu looks like he wants to be completely out of this task.

"Hello, we haven't really formally introduced ourselves."

"I'm Hana Ishii and this grumpy guy beside me is Ritsu Kageyama."

" We've best leave and get started with the tour."

.
.
.

"Anyway I'm in your class a second year while Kageyama's a first year."

"We've already met, no need to introduce me any further."

"Okay 'Kageyama' why so salty about it?"

"Oi, watch it."

"I think he's still upset any me from the other day-"

"What really? Well he's rarely interact with people and only speak unless theirs a meeting."

"I could tell you two must have knew each other base on his reaction when he heard we have to give a tour to a new girl."

"For a moment I thought maybe you two were a thing before he shot down the idea and made me scared for asking..."

"Well here are the facilities and this is the council room. There's multiple clubs and each being in one of these rooms that have been registered."

.
.
.

The tour wasn't that long and I told Ishii to call me by my first name and we became friends and I called her just Hana.

Ritsu spoke here and there but ran off in a rush when it was over.

I barely had time to eat and everyone was trying to speak to me.

Sooner later the bell had rung and class begins.

Idk but I've been sensing someone watching me but not only from inside the classroom but also from outside.

I think Tsubomi is keeping her eyes on me , I guess she might wonder what's my relation with shigeo and curious about me.

I kept my introduction short and wasn't really talking to many people except Hana.

School ended shortly and Shigeo ask if I wanted to walk home already or stay after school and walked with him.

I told him I would go home today and tomorrow stay to look for clubs.

I ran into a kid who accidentally bump into me.

She seem like she was in a hurry a face if dismay on her face.

Was she being chased?

Idk but she apologized and scurry off.

Coming from the direction she left was a boy with dark brown hair and behind him Tsubomi.

I don't want to be nosy into people's business but I don't think it takes two to guess what could of happened.

The boy ran after the other girl to I guess apologized or comfort her.

Hey, not my fault she ran near the locker that happens to be near mines.

It was hard not to be able to hear their conversation.

They seem to be a new couple...

.
.
.

"Tsubomi had nothing to do with it."

"Liar."

"She's been targeting me, driving my mental health down and you've even knew."

"Yeah, but I promise I wasn't involved with it."

"How can I believe you?!"
"You promised me you would protect me?!..."

"Did your words hold no meaning?..."

"What, no of course I would never try to hurt you."

"But you did."

"You knew they were going to do it and you let them, you watched as they humiliated me and then you saw her try flirting with you to make matters worse."

"After all I've been through and you're not even any better!"
"I'm sick and tired of you taking advantage of me, playing mind games and forcing me to do what you want."

"Hey, don't walk away from me!"

"Let me be! Go away, were through and I don't want to deal with any of you anymore!"

"Who said you can walk away! Come back here."
.
.
.

It's not my place but,

I can't just stand here and let this happen.

I don't know then but this gives me flashbacks of something similar that happen to my friend...

I can't let mistakes repeat itself.

.
.
.

" Your not leaving until I say you are!"

"Argh, let me go!"

.
.
.

"Huh?!-"

"Get your hands off her."

"Now!"

.
.
.

"Ugh, you! Who are you?!"

"Ow, did you just shoved me across a locker?!"

"Are you psychotic?! "

"Yes, yes I did and no you are the psycho looney."

"The girl said to let her be and to take your gruby hands off her."

"I just need to put you in your place."

.
.
.

"Put me down!"

"Make me."

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

*Crash*

"What's with all the commotion?!"

"Omg, look he got thrown by the new girl-"

"Who knew she was so strong."

.
.
.

"You gorilla, I'll get pay back just you wait-!"

"Yeah in your dreams."

"Looks like the trash took itself out-"
.
.
.

"Young lady what is the meaning of this?!"

"Oh-crap, um it's not what it looks like..."

"Ahuh , let's go to the principal office, Now."

.
.
.

-and that's how on my first day I was sent to the office.

No I wasn't able to go home and I was the talk of the entire school

Idk what's going to happen all I could see was the many faces of shock all across.

✨ Author note ✨
Thank you for reading and for voting ☺️

I've finish twisted wonderland event and I've been trying to finish all my projects, a lot of things I've procrastinated on that have a deadline of the 19th-

Also, um the last part of the chapter of course would be relevant in future chapters but also this was my way of writing about what happened recently to my friend although a bit different.

In which she was a victim of domestic violence, bullied and even forced to do things she shouldn't have even been done to her.

To the point she had depression and sucidal thoughts.

She's gotten better but she went from online to now homeschool.

The jerkass that cause this is still haven't been arrested but hopefully justice would come and nobody else can fall victim.

My intuition since the day I met him told me jerkoff wasn't any good. Also he cheated on my friend multiple times even wanted to date me and getting really aggressive and defensive when I rejected him despite dating my friend at the time and asking me in front of her.

Yeah I'm also watching for my safety since he's been making threats towards me as well✨🧍

Sorry for the long paragraph 😂 but I wanted to just say please be careful with people and help or bring awareness if you witness something like this obviously you don't have to be like y/n and start fight but don't just let things unfold.

*New card from TW event*

I also got my class ring almost being late to the ceremony lol.
