Shoko PoV
The bus had finally arrived.
I felt like smiling as the doors opened for me.
One small step for me,
Another big leap for me!
I don't think that's how you're supposed to use the phrase.
Don't care~
I went in the bus and noticed a few students wearing the same uniform as me.
Nice. I'm one of the early stops.
With that, I can easily find the best seat.
I found an empty seat by the back.
Bingo.
I quickly sat down and occupied it.
I placed my bag on the seat next to me so nobody else would have to sit there.
How cruel.
The hardest choices require the strongest wills, Ayanokoji.
Wow. Where did you learn that line from?
Don't you know I'm quite the philosophical genius?
More like the sarcastic lunatic.
I clenched my fist as I received an insult from this piece of shit.
Oya? Making comebacks now, are we?
I don't have to be too submissive against you. I have dignity.
Wrong! You were born to be submissive and breedable!
Breedable? Men can't get pregnant, just so you know.
Tch. You ruined the joke, smartass.
I relaxed on my seat and began staring at the window to pass the time.
Having another person in your mind is troublesome and tiring.
I felt my stomach softly grumble.
Ugh. I'm hungry....
Don't you have any snacks in your bag?
No. I didn't bring any since I was in a hurry after getting distracted by the realization that another voice is occupying my head.
I see.
I should try to distract the hunger...
Hey, you said you wished to go back to the past and relive your days as a student, right?
Yes.
If you wanted to go back to 2015.
Doesn't that mean we will run into the past you?
The past me.....
It might be possible....it might not be.
Why?
My main theory is the fact that I've never heard of a Kazumi Shoko in my time during school.
Not a third year, second year nor a first year had the name Kazumi Shoko.
So it's possible that I'd been transported into a different timeline where you exist and I might not.
Sadly, you exist in my head now.
A pity.
So a different timeline huh....
Man.
This really feels like some weird light novel.
People around the world, place down your ideas for the title for this light novel!
Do you often speak to yourself as if there was anyone listening to you?
No. I speak to myself because I don't expect anyone to answer me.
BUT HERE WE ARE!
The bus began to fill up with more passengers.
Most of them were students who wore the same uniform as me.
While I minded my own business, a black haired-girl went to me.
" Hey." She spoke.
Oh no.
Another human being is speaking to me when I really want to be left alone.
Ah....it's her....
Her?
I inwardly sighed as I looked towards the person who called for my attention.
She wore the same uniform and wore a stern expression as she began to speak, " Could you please move your bag? I'd like to take this seat."
My old classmate. Horikita Suzune.
I looked at my bag and then back to her.
" Sorry. But my bag would like to stay here, it seems." I spoke flatly.
....You really just said that.
She spoke to me first.
Conversation is a battle that I'd rather end as soon as possible.
She gave me a cold glare , " How stupid. Stop playing around and move your bag or else I'll have no choice but to move it myself."
I saw some passengers turning their heads towards my confrontation with this annoying girl.
You both are stubborn....
Ignoring that monotone voice in my head, I quickly responded to this girl,
" How about you stand up? I'm sure standing up should be no problem for someone like you. Besides, if you move my bag without my consent, it'd be considered rude."
" Rude? Aren't you the one acting rude , right now? Not only that, but your argument is childish. I will say this again: move your bag or else I'll move it myself. " she shot back at me.
I'm quite interested in how you'd respond.
Heh. Wait and see.
I spoke loudly, " Wow! Moving my bag yourself huh? Damn girl, you call me childish and rude but here you are forcing me to move my bag when I clearly don't want to. You're threatening me over a seat when you can clearly stand up! Sheesh!" I smirked.
Now that definitely gathered the passengers attention.
She looked stunned by my ridiculous response.
" What? You-" She was suddenly cut off when a new voice entered this dangerous battle of wits-
I mean, conversation.
Ah. I can guess who that voice is.
Please don't tell me it's another troublesome person that you know....
......
I'll take that silence as a yes.
My eyes went towards the new girl joining this war.
She had short beige-colored hair and she also wore the same uniform.
She went to us with a smile, " Hello! There seems to be a commotion here. So I'm wondering if I can help in solving it." She said.
The black haired girl apparently named, Horikita Suzune immediately scoffed as soon as her eyes landed on Kushida.
" Fine. I'll just go stand. I'd rather not involve more unnecessary people in this." She said before going further back in the bus.
Suck it, bitch!
I win!
Technically you got lucky.
Pfft, luck?
This is something only I can do, Ayanokoji.
If Kushida weren't here, you'd two would probably continue arguing.
I completely ignored his statement.
" Um...eto....what were you two arguing about if you don't mind me asking?" Kushida asked.
I ignored her and went back to staring at the window in peace.
I was hoping she'd take that as a sign of ' leave me alone' like most human beings would understand.
She had no business here since the fire had extinguished before it grown bigger.
" Um...Could I please know what happened, if you don't mind?" She asked me kindly.
I sighed and muttered, " Why in the world are you talking to me...."
Has she always been this annoying?
You'll understand soon enough.
If...we reach....the specific circumstances.
Whatever.
I looked at Kushida with a blank look.
" Could you please stop poking and prodding? The argument is done and we are currently at peace now, aren't we? I swear, people like you LOVE to hear about potential controversy, huh? Leave me alone." I said bluntly.
She looked shocked at my response and began to apologize, " O-Oh, I'm sorry if I bothered you... "
Good. Maybe she'll finally leave me alo-
" But my name is Kushida Kikyo! I was also curious to learn your name!" She immediately said.
Annnnd she instantly shattered my fantasies.
You'll get used to her persistent nature.
Blegh. Please no.
" Are you incapable of comprehending my words? Do you want me to spell it out for you?" I said.
" No! I completely understand. I'd just like to know your name and I'll leave you alone." She assured.
" Not in a million years. Bitch." I flipped her off and then turned my gaze back to the window.
My first day is getting worse and worse....
Heh. You'll love the next events then.
Huh? Wait what is that supposed to mean?
Hey! Don't ignore me you little shit!
I should brace myself....
( 1 hour and a half later....)
During this bothersome bus ride.
I had engaged in a verbal between myself and a girl named Horikita Suzune.
And then Kushida Kikyo intervened and somehow drove away Horikita Suzune out of this battle.
I thought that was the end of that until she began asking about how the situation started and I bluntly responded with....
Well, to summarize it: Would you kindly shut up and fuck off?
Pfft.
Huh? You're capable of laughing?
Of course I am.
Huh, you learn new things each second.
Anyway, back to my inner monologue.
I finally ended the conversation by giving a magnificent middle finger to Kushida's bullshit and went back to staring at the window.
Soon after that, a commotion began between an office lady and another student with blonde hair.
It was entertaining at least.
The guy with blonde hair also had a similar way of ending worthless conversations.
Did I feel bad for the old lady?
Yeah.
But I wasn't willing to move my bag nor give up my seat.
And the blonde boy used that common trait amongst humans brilliantly into his advantage.
Kushida tried to intervene and gave her views on why he should give up his seat.
But nonetheless, a weak argument.
But fortunately for them, an office worker gave up their seat because of the inability to handle the guilt of keeping it from the old lady.
That alone, ended the confrontation.
Great summary.
Thank you. So kind of you to say, despite your obvious sarcasm.
I'd rather not have YOU of all people to tell me off because of my sarcasm.
The students disembarked the bus, myself included.
As soon as my shoes touched the ground.
I marveled at the school entrance.
This is it...
This is my time to live peacefully!
Yeah....
Why do you sound so unsure?
I'll tell you about it later.
Well, whatever.
I walked into the entrance making sure to keep my distance behind the rest of the students.
Holy shit. That ceremony was super boring.
Yep.
I was currently walking towards my designated classroom.
I am currently a student of Class 1-D.
What class were you in, Ayanokoji?
I was nearing the classroom.
Class D.
I stopped.
Say that again?
I was a student of Class D.
Ah...I see...
Flashbacks of when Ayanokoji told me that I'd ' love the next events of the day' ran through my mind.
I now concluded that walking into this classroom is a no-go.
I turned around.
Maybe I'll pretend to be part of Class C or something.
You are crazy. Are you actually willing to do that? You have guts.
I want a peaceful life, okay!
If that's the case, then Class C is an even worse choice.
Why?
You'll find out sooner or later.
Ugh, I hate people who try to be vague.
Why can't you be straightforward like me....
I sighed as I kept walking to the opposite direction of my assigned Class.
I finally arrived into another Class with the nameplate ' Class 1-B' on it.
How about this class?
Goodness. You're actually doing it. Anyway, this is actually the best class to go to.
Good. Some useful answers from a useless being for once.
You're mean.
Bleeeeh
I opened the door and I was immediately greeted with a bright atmosphere.
The students were chatting with each other .
Most of them actually surrounded a girl with pink hair and.......massive weapons.
Totally not jealous....
I thought medium was premium for you?
W-WAIT DID YOU HEAR THAT, TOO?! UGH!
I felt absolutely humiliated.
" Oh? Hi! Are you also a student of Class B?" The pink haired girl waved to me.
" Um. Yes. Hello." I waved back and tried to act.... as nice as I can possibly be.
" What's your name? Ah wait, I'll introduce myself first. My name is Ichinose Honami. Now tell me yours?" She said with a smile.
She's incredibly kind....
And not as annoying as Kushida and Horikta.
" My name is....Kazumi Shoko. Nice to meet you." I said as I tried to lift my tone a bit.
" Ah, Kazumi-san. Welcome to Class B! Let me introduce you to the rest." She said and began to call the rest of her new friends.
Wait, no.
NO I DIDN'T-
Well played.
The students walked up to me and introduced themselves.
" My name is Amikura Mako! Nice to mee you, Kazumi-chan." A girl with black hair in a pony tail said.
" My name is Shiranami Chihiro....nice to meet you as well, Kazumi-san..." a girl with short light blonde hair said.
" Yo! My name is Shibata Sō. Nice to meet ya!" A boy greeted.
No....they just keep coming....
What have I gotten myself into....
Trouble?
NO SHIT SHERLOCK!
Chapter 1 and 2, I copy pasted them from my oneshots book.
So chapter 3 will be the latest one.
MarriedPaimon, out~
