Chapter 1
Above him was a beat-up looking boy with mud and dirt in his hair and on his clothes. Honestly, he looked...Homeless.
His hair seemed to be white under the muck, whils he had pale skin, grey eyes, a green jacket with red squares on the shoulder, a t-shirt with connected red hooks, tan pants with a lot of pockets, and worn-down boots with two zippers each.
“Hey...Are you ok…?” The boy asked unsurely, looking worried, “You...Kinda passed out before we did introductions…” he boy held out a bruised hand.
Hajime blinked a few times, before hesitantly taking the hand and getting up, shaking off… Sand?
“A Beach?” Hajime blinked, looking around.
The boy nodded, stuffing his hands in his pockets, “Mhm. It’s apparently a deserted island… Least, that’s what Monokuma said”
“Monokuma?” Hajime tilted his head.
“Ah… Yes, you seemed rather out of it, hm…” the boy hummed, “You see, Monokuma is a mechanical bear that supposedly is the principle of Hope’s Peak Academy. This is a…’School trip’, according to him”
“W-what?!” Hajime yelped
“Old cotton ball is right! This is a school trip ta cool yer guns! Excitin’, right? Anywho, here’s the E-handbook yer gonna need! It gives ya a map, tells ya some things about yer friends, and blinks every time ya make a new bond! Once Everyone gets ta be good friends, yall can leave!” a half-black half-white bear said, thrusting a square device into Hajime’s hand before hopping away.
“W-what…? Ok so...This is...Hope’s Peak…?”
“Mhhhm… Well, at least, a vacation, haha. The others wandered off to explore… I stayed to watch y- I mean- watch *over* you- haha-” Nagito laughed, his scratched cheeks tinting with pink, “A-ah, well- anyway, care to introduce yourself?”
“A-ah, uhm- yeah,” Hajime nodded, fiddling with his blue and pink tie, “I’m Hajime Hinata, the ultimate lucky student.”
“Oo...Luck you say? Interesting!” the boy looked excited
“And...You…?” Hajime asked slowly
“O-oh! Right! I’m Nagito Komaeda the… The..Ultimate...Uhm...Damnit, still don’t remember,” Nagito shook his head
“Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it...You’ll remember soon enough” Hajime reassured.
Nagito blinked, before smiling, “Haha, thanks...Ah...I suppose we should go to find the others and introduce you, hm? Let’s go,” Nagito started to walk off.
“A-ah! Wait up!” Hajime yelped, rushing after him
