Heaven on Earth

Me and Makoto are roaming through the halls. We only have 5 minutes before classes start and we don't even know which classroom is ours. Strangely, most of the classrooms we check are completely empty. Where are all the other classes? I saw some of the students in the cafeteria, but why aren't they in class?

"Hey, John! I found the classroom!", Makoto yells from down the hall before he walks into the room.

If I don't run I'm not gonna make it in! I begin sprinting down the halls. But, right when I'm about to reach the door, I hear that voice again.

"John Doe, stop!!!!", I hear Taka yell.

I stop in my tracks and turn to face him, "Dude, can this wait?!"

"Unbelievable, first you are late to the initiation and now you are running through the halls. I knew my initial thoughts about you were correct! You have no respect for the rules at all what's so ever! I'm gonna have to write you up", Taka says as he pulls out a notepad from his pocket, "Enjoy detention!"

"You can't give me a detention Taka", I sneer.

"For your information, John, as hall monitor I have the authority to issue out detentions to rule breaking punks like you", he says with a smirk.

I face palm. Of course this guy would be the hall monitor! I should have seen it coming.

"Listen Taka, I was just trying to get to class on time", I try to explain.

As if on cue, the bell rings. Meaning class has started.

"And you're late for class too. That's another detention for you", Taka says as he continues to write on his notepad.

Only because you stopped me! Man this guy has been nothing but a pain in the ass since the moment we met. I sigh and walk into the classroom to see that the whole class and teacher are staring at me.

"Sorry for being late", I mumble.

Taka walks in as well, "I'm very sorry for being late, sir! I was dealing with a rule breaking punk!"

I glare at him. I'm pretty sure they heard our whole conversation, jackass.

As I look through the classroom I see Makoto scratching the back of head and mouthing, "Sorry" to me

I also see Hina trying her hardest not to laugh her ass off right now as she watches me suffer. Sayaka is giggling and gives me a quick wink. What surprises me the most is that even Kyoko is staring at me. As soon as we lock eyes she just shakes her head and gets back to reading the book she has on her desk.

Great, now her opinion of me has probably dropped even lower than they already were. That's exactly what I need right now.

"Um, it's okay you two. How about you both just take a seat", the teacher says with a confused look on his face.

"Yes sir!", Taka salutes before sitting in the open seat in the front row.

The only seat left was in the back row next to Kyoko and that Mukuro girl from yesterday. Shit, that girl is terrifying! As long as I don't piss her off I should be fine.

I take my seat quickly trying to avoid eye contact with Mukuro.

"I see you still managed to get yourself into trouble, huh?", Kyoko says without looking away from her book.

"I swear that guy has it out for me", I sigh.

"Well I did warn you, break any rule, even one as small as running in the halls and you will receive a detention", she says.

"The "Ultimate Hall monitor" made that perfectly clear", I grumble.

"I will admit, hearing you get chewed out like that was definitely a treat", she says, still not even looking at me.

"Okay students, allow me to explain how classes here work", the teacher says trying to get our attention.

"Don't they work like any other school's classes?", I ask Kyoko.

"Did you do any research on this school at all?", she asks me back.

"In my defense, I was 90% sure this was all one big prank", I explain.

"As I'm sure most of you know, as students participating in the Primary Course you are not required to attend any classes. Instead you have complete free reign of the campus to work on further developing your abilities. We have several many areas on the upper levels of the school that can assist you. If you require a teachers assistance, check the teacher's office on the 4th floor. Do not hesitate to come ask for our help. Now if you would please excuse me", the teacher bows before he exits the classroom.

"So we can basically do whatever we want?", I ask with a shocked face.

This is literally heaven on earth.

"As long as we aren't violating any rules. Knowing you, you'll probably end up breaking a few along the way", Kyoko says with a small smirk.

"Oh ha ha, the Ultimate Detective has jokes, huh?", I respond.

"I'm not joking. I'm making a calculated guess based on what I've observed", she explains.

I smirk, "So you've been "observing" me, huh? Well tell me, what observations have you made?"

"Wouldn't you like to know", she rolls her eyes and gets back to reading.

"Though, I have noticed one thing. That girl sitting to your right has been glancing at you more than a few times", Kyoko says.

The girl to my right? But isn't that......MUKURO!!!

I slowly turn my head to my right and see that Mukuro is currently looking at me out of the corner of her eye. She notices me, and her body stiffens.

"H-Hey, you're Mukuro right?", I ask with a smile.

If I'm not nice to this girl, she'll definitely kick my ass.

Her eyes widen as she turns and looks at me, "You remembered?"

"Considering how we met, it would be hard for me to forget", I chuckle and scratch the back of my head.

"R-Right, I am very sorry that we had to meet under those circumstances. But-", before Mukuro can finish talking she is cut off.

"You almost tripped me! Definitely not cool", I look in front of me and see the pink haired girl from yesterday.

"Oh right! I really am sorry about that, I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going", I bow my head.

"Clearly you weren't. But, I suppose I'll accept your apology this time. I'm sure you already know this, considering I'm me, but I'm Junko Enoshima the Ultimate Fashionista", she smirks.

"Sorry, but I'm not familiar with your work", I shurg.

Her eyes widen, "You are joking right? Junko Enoshima, the famous teen model. On the cover of every fashion magazine. You've never heard of me?"

I shake my head, "Sorry, this is the first time I'm ever hearing about any of this"

She gives me an angry glare but quickly forces a smile on her face, "T-That's completely fine! Mukuro, Ill be waiting for you outside. Don't keep me waiting"

Junko then exits the classroom. As soon as she walks out, she slams the door shut.

My eyes widen, "You have an interesting friend, Mukuro"

"I'm very sorry, but I must get going", Mukuro says as she stands.

As she stands up, I finally get a good look at her. What stands out the most to me are her eyes. They are grey and absolutely stunning.

"Mukuro, has anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?", I smile at her.

A light shade of red begins to form on her face, "No, that's a first for me. It was nice talking to you".

I watch as she walks out the classroom with a smile on my face. She's actually kind of sweet, when she's not pissed off.

I'm taken out of my thoughts I feel something hit the back of my head.

"It's rude to stare, you know?", Kyoko says.

"Aww, is someone jealous?", I smirk.

"You'd wish", Kyoko sneers.

"Um John? Is everything okay?", I look in front of me to see Sayaka standing in front of my desk.

I smile brightly, "Hey Sayaka! Don't mind my friend here, she's just being jealous"

"Friends? You're making a lot of assumptions right now", Kyoko says.

"Well, I hope she won't mind if I steal you away for our date", Sayaka says with a cute smile.

"A date? You've been here for one day and you already got a date?", Kyoko asks with an annoyed look on her face.

I chuckle, "If it makes you feel any better, she asked me out. And my offer for tonight still stands, you know?"

"Rather listen to one of my father's awful puns", she responds.

"I'll be here when you change your mind", I smirk.

"You'll be here for awhile then", she sneers back.

Sayaka stands there awkwardly, "Soooo?"

I stand and smile brightly at Sayaka, "Lead the way!"

She wraps her left arm around my right arm and leads me out of the classroom. I give Kyoko a wink before leaving. She gives me an eye roll as she watches us leave.

Yep, she's totally jealous.
