Daisuke was hanging around behind the school garden, Arisu had made him join the photography club since she was in charge of it and plus the face that he is able to find trouble in the most abandoned areas of school. He patrolled around boredly and took pictures of the flowers or stalked others through his lenses.
Arisu on the other hand was casually eating a sandwich while walking around the school as if nothing happened, "I heard we got a new teacher!" She over heard one of the students but just kept on walking.
Takuya sat alone in the same spot he did the previous day but instead of laying back and relaxing after his lunch this time he surveyed the area taking account of the increased security that seemed to be at every corner not leaving even a crevasse free of surveillance. "This school is certainly not what I expected. Damn my grandmother is gonna be in my ear all of tonight when she finds out..." He sighed as he thought about the situation, "Is a calm and casual day too much to ask for here?".
Kotori greeted the teacher with a short goodbye in order to go to the washrooms. After finishing her business and adjusting her hair, which was now free of eggshells, she walked outside. She spotted Takuya and decided to talk to him.
Takuya spotted Kotori walking towards him, not sure if she was going to unleash hell upon him or be nice he just decided to be casual. "Hey Kotori, how are you feeling? Eggcellent I'm guessing?" he snickered
"I hate you," she joked, half-serious. "And that was probably the worst joke you've ever made, apart from your existence, anyway." She didn't say these words in a very cheerful way. She was starving, as last night, she'd not eaten dinner, nor breakfast in the morning or lunch as of now. She felt like begging Takuya for food, but refused to stoop so low.
"Aw, and here I thought we had something special." Takuya jested while pouting. "I admit, that joke wasn't my best but I just couldn't resist. On a more serious note, what do you think of all this security? I used to joke about school being a prison but it seems like it actually is now..."
"I don't know. I just talked to one of the newer teachers - teaching World History. He was saying something about protecting students and whatnot. I think the teachers have been trained or something, I was hearing someone say something about that in the hallways, but I'm not exactly sure. I'm kind of nervous. Daisuke almost always gets into trouble, and I wouldn't be surprised if you soon did as well. What if someone we know gets expelled?" Kotori paused, considering what she would do in a situation like that.
"Protecting students is different than turning the school into Fort Knox, personally I think the situation could have been handled better somehow as having the school like a military boot camp is just going to scare the students, make them worry, panic more, and consequently but ironically feel less safe as the atmosphere is gonna be tense. Daisuke will be fine, he gets into trouble but he isn't on the scale of a terrorist, I'll be cosy, I've been a model student so far, you've experienced my golden attitude first hand you should know. And don't worry about yourself either, the worse I imagine you could do is accidentally punching someone because you tripped over your own feet." Tayuka smiled at Kotori trying to reassure her. "Let's talk about a lighter topic...erm" Takuya awkwardly paused not knowing what to talk about realizing he hardly knew Kotori at all.
Daisuke layed on the grass in the garden and lookex through the pictures through the camera, "Hm." He turned the camera around and blinked three times before making half a heart with his hand and took a picture, "lookin' hot." He smirked a bit before deleting the picture and getting up to survey the front of the school.
"Okay, okay. You may be right," Kotori admits. "But that's going to be one of the only things I'll ever agree with you on," she says. "What would you consider a lighter topic?" she asks. "Talking about how you wreaked havoc in elementary school? How you begged your mother to come here, only to find out that this place is a delinquent-dump?" She laughed. It was stupid, really, how they'd all come here expecting such a fantastic school year. Takuya must've been a student with harsh parents, for them to send him to such a 'prestigious' school. She couldn't imagine him choosing to come here for his own 'well-being', no matter how much he said he was a 'model student'.
"Daisuke! You delinquent get over here!" Takuya shouted as he saw Daisuke wondering around on his own with a camera looking a bit creepy to say the least; he now saw the word 'delinquent' as a sort of nickname for Daisuke, thinking it suited him well. Takuya's face dropped instantly at the mention of his mother, he tried extremely hard to bottle his emotions that felt like they were about to explode out of him as he knew Kotori didn't know what had happened and that she was dead. How he missed her so he thought to himself turning from Kotori to hide his face.
"Hey, answer my question!" she laughed. Kotori stared back at Takuya. Something seemed to be wrong. She smirked a little. "Are you a mommy's boy or something? Missing your mother? Ooh, how cute. How about you just go home and give your mother a big kiss?" Kotori pushed Takuya over into the grass. She gave a fake pout and murmured, "Or maybe you miss your widdle Daddy?" She also called out Daisuke, her cheeks flushing a little when she saw him.
Daisuke saw two students he knew chatting at the benches and went up to them, "Hm, delinquent? You see the camera, clearly I'm not." He say Takuya and his smile fell to a worried expression, "Hey are you okay?" He ran towards him and heard the word mother and his heart hit his stomach, "Ah..."
Daisuke flashed the camera at them a few times to distract from the topic.
"Hey, did I say something bad?" Kotori asks, mildly. She still didn't seem to see the problem. "Is there something I'm missing?" she edged backwards a little after seeing Daisuke, shielding her face from the camera. She despised cameras and having her photo taken.
Takuya erupted not able to contain his unstable emotions. "Can you not see I'm upset?! That maybe I actually have feelings? You're despicable, I can't believe you're brain is that infinitesimal that you are oblivious to everything. No wonder the police arrested you. If you must know my mother is dead. D-E-A-D. Dead. Along with my father and brother. And it's all my fau-" He didn't manage to finish his sentence as Takuya's eye's started to well up -the death of his family still so raw- he couldn't even let one tear escape in front of anyone he thought to himself so he quickly grabbed his bag and ran away. Not having a clue where he was going but he just had to be alone, anywhere but here.
"TAKUYA!" Kotori yelled. "Come back here." Without warning, she got up and sprinted after him. She did know he wanted to be alone, but for what reason had his family died? It couldn't have been all his fault, right? She felt a pang of hurt and felt like the worst friend. Without knowing his situation, she had spoken. Considering it from his perspective, she most likely sounded like a b*tch, inconsiderate and heartless.
As he heard the sound of somebody running behind him, Takuya exclaimed "Leave me the fuck alone!". Takuya felt nothing but anger, if he saw Kotori he would say things that he really didn't mean but wouldn't be able to stop himself.
