Your POV:

I honestly knew what I was doing when I decided that I'd help Kokichi get out. I knew the others would be pretty upset at me for it. I honestly didn't care.
I knew where everyone else would think that leaving him would teach him a lesson, but I knew he wasn't going to learn any better. He'd still lie. Making him suffer for something that he can't help is not the way to go.
I was panting when we got out of Gonta's lab. I had to make a mad dash with the 5'1 supreme leader, and that combined with all of the energy I lost from avoiding bugs.
    Everyone seemed to be staring at me while I was panting. They were either concerned about me or they were upset with my for saving Kokichi. Whatever it was, I was ready to accept the blame for everything. I was ready to be blamed for things I didn't even do as well. That was my life.
    "(y/n), are you alright?" Rantaro asked me.
    "Yeah... I'm just waiting to be screamed at for helping Kokichi..." I replied truthfully.
    Tenko was sending a glare towards my direction. I was terrified... she wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.
    I realized she was actually glaring at Kokichi and not me.
    "You degenerate... how dare you trick the sweet (y/n) to save you from what we had to suffer from," Tenko said with a glare.
    'I don't think she understands that I decided to help him on my own...' I thought.
I sighed lightly as I thought that. Soon enough, Tenko and Kokichi were fighting and bickering about who was telling the truth. They were eventually broken up by Keebo, Tsumugi, Rantaro, and Shuichi. This made me relieved. The atmosphere soon settled down, and we were back on track.
"We might be corpses by tomorrow morning..." Himiko stated.
"Don't joke about that...what if it happens? It's just plain possible," Tsumugi explained in response.
"I agree," I stated, "you shouldn't stay stuff like that considering the situation we're all in. It's very dangerous."
Everyone nodded in agreement as I said that. Rantaro, Kaede, Shuichi, Tsumugi, Keebo, and Tenko. The only person who didn't show that she agreed was Angie. She was most likely trying to stand up for Himiko. They seemed to be friends, so I understood why. It made me happy for Himiko.
"So how do we return these Kubs Pads back to their rightful owners?" Tenko asked nervously.
"Hmmm, if only the Monokubs were here. I'm sure they'd help us," Angie said.
Instantly after Angie said that, a Monokub did pop up. It wasn't the ones who talked much either. It was the robot looking Monokub known as Monodam.
Monodam explained to us that the rest of the cubs were asleep. He told us he could help us, so we naturally told him about the problem on getting the Kubs Pads back to their rightful rooms.
He told us he'd bring the Kubs Pads back to their correct rooms. Kokichi seemed to sulk at that because he was the one who wanted to gather everyone to watch the motive videos.
I sighed lightly as the green cub disappeared. This night would finally be over. It was the best thing to me ever.
I wished everyone a good night before heading off to my dorm room. I was walking abnormally slowly. My energy was basically sapped from me during the Insect Meet and Greet. I hoped I'd sleep very well.
Another thing I noticed. It was too late to hold training. I was very relieved. I was too tired to do fifty push-ups like what happened yesterday. I still remembered the pain and suffering I had during that time. It made me shiver.
I felt someone tap my shoulder as I was lost in all of these thoughts. I looked up to see Rantaro looking down at me. He seemed slightly puzzled before smiling at me.
"Are you tired?" Rantaro asked me.
"What gave it away?" I yawned.
"I have no idea," Rantaro told me as his hand traveled to his chin to make a thinking pose, "I wonder what gave it away. Maybe it was the fact that you were walking abnormally slow."
I blinked twice before laughing slightly and playfully punching Rantaro. He was very smart. He even knew how to joke around.
"You are a serious smartass, Rantaro," I laughed.
"I'm not a smartass," Rantaro replied, "I'm just stating the truth."
"Yeah, I know..." I muttered in response, "maybe you only stopped me because you were worried."
I looked up at the sky and smiled as I said that, however Rantaro blinked twice as if he were in shock.
"Now what gave that away?" Rantaro asked with a nervous chuckle.
Rantaro also had a light pink dusting his cheeks. I blushed lightly seeing that. I looked down and started playing with my hair.
"Maybe it's because you always make sure I'm ok... even when I try to get away... you always try your best to cheer me up," I explained nervously.
I looked over to the side, so I could see Rantaro. He smiled warmly at me before placing his hand on my head.
"I do get worried about you. You really are something special," Rantaro told me, "you should get some sleep. I'll see you at the magic show tomorrow."
With that, the mysterious greenette walked away, leaving me in awe with a red face.
'He's so cool...' I thought.
I decided to continue on my path back to my dorm. I made it in about a few minutes. I basically bounced with joy as I saw my bed. I didn't care if I had the same outfit on. I was too tired to change.
I decided to head to bed then. I fell asleep a few minutes after settling in. I felt at ease. I felt calm, knowing Rantaro would always be there for me.
    As I entered the world of dreams, all I thought about was Rantaro.
