Hiro

I was walking with Leon to pick Makoto up from the nurse's office after he had a nose bleed. "I kinda feel bad that I gave him that nosebleed. I thought he would catch the ball." Leon said. "Eh, he'll be fine. After all, he is the Ultimate Lucky Student." I said. "Hey aren't you a fortune teller!? You could've told me that Makoto could've gotten hurt last period!" Leon, jokingly said. I was going to tell him I'm 30% correct when something catches my attention.
I see a bunch of ultimates sitting together. All the tables are packed except one.
That one table only had Hifumi Yamada drawing.
SLAP!
"Ow!" I said. "Sorry man but you were dazed." Leon said. "It's fine." I told him. "Hey uh we still down to go to the coffee shop with Mondo, Taka and Chihiro right?" I asked. "Yeah man. We need to get Makoto first." Leon said. "Okay but um... actually I was wondering... could we bring Hifumi with us?"
"Hifumi?"
"I mean like..."
I take Leon to another room because I didn't want Hifumi to hear us. I heard he has trust issues so that's why whenever people try talking to him, he tells them to buzz off. I didn't want him to get the impression we were out to get him. "Look at him. Everyone is sitting together and so will us after school and there he is! Nobody! I heard he has no friends and bruh. I know how it feels. Considering I'm a held back student with not many friends until you saw me by myself!" I said. "Well okay. But you're on Hifumi duty if he does something." Leon said. "Yeah. Maybe Makoto,Mondo and Taka could help." I said. "Besides, I have a good feeling about this! Heh, kind of reminds me of how you and Sayaka wanted to be my friend during our first few months." "Yeah. Come on let's go!" Leon said.

Leon

I wasn't really keen on the idea but Hiro does have a point.
I met him during one of my games that I had to take at Hopes Peak in early September. He was all by himself and being in a friend group with a bunch of people made me want to add him. After all, I do have isolophobia and would be freakin depressed if I had no friends. And I guess Hiro is right. I might be distrusting too at some times and I have seen Hifumi telling others to go away. But I guess maybe he's distrusting is because he didn't have much friends too. In fact, most have my friends had not many friends. Dam. We got a whole freaking population! And even though this school isn't for everybody, there's like a million kids here in this school. Start having a dam conversation with someone already and be less judgy!!!! Woah. Maybe I should be less judgy.
"Alright. I'll text Makoto we're on our way. Let's go!" I tell Hiro as we walk to Hifumi.
"HEY! HIFUMI IS IT!?" Hiro asks loudly. Hifumi looks up, with an interrogating look on his face. "Hey uh whatcha drawing?" I ask as I looked at his paper. "I'm drawing the entire cast of Pretty Princess Puggles!" Hifumi said proudly. Hiro chuckled a little. I was about to tell him to quit it but then he said "Heh, that's pretty good. Is it like a video game? A friend of ours we're going to meet up with likes video games." Hiro said. "PRETTY PRINCESS PUGGLES IS AN ANIME AND IS ALSO A WORK OF ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE!!!!" Hifumi said loudly with honor. "Heh, you know, we have this other friend that would like to meet someone like you! You have pride and honor and there's a 60% chance you two will become friends!" Hiro said. "HIFUMI!" The 3 of us see Celeste walk up to the fan Artist. "Do you have the tea?"

Hifumi

Oh sh!t. I forgot to get the tea!
Mrs. Ludenberg is going to be mad!
I turn to the orange anime rival and the tall flunky character for help. Luckily, they're here to save the day. "Hey Celeste, I can bet you that if you come with us 3, you'll have the tea of your life!" Orange rival for a protagonist said. "Yeah! You'll like it!" The tall one said. Mrs. Ludenberg looks at them and takes a deep breath. "Very well, but only because I have nothing to do after school. Come Hifumi!"

No one's POV

As Hifumi was packing his stuff up, he saw Leon and Yasuhiro five each other. "Hold on guys, we need to get Naegi. He's in the nurses office for no reason and gotta deliver something for him."

The four ultimates head to the nurses office.
There, Makoto was sitting in a chair. "Oh hey guys." Makoto said so happy. "Hey man, sorry about the baseball to the nose." Leon said. "Ah, so that is what happened. I'm no fortune teller but I did have a feeling you two had something to do with it." Celeste said. Leon and Hiro ignored Celeste. While Leon, Yasuhiro and Makoto were having a conversation, Hifumi felt happy. He was glad to have more friends, even if they weren't 2D. In fact, when he joined in on the conversation with topic related jokes, a few laughs were made. Uncomfortable ones but Hifumi didn't care. He even made playful teasing jokes when the other 3 boys began teasing each other and they all laughed because they thought his jokes were funny.
Hifumi wanted Celeste to get into the conversation but she kindly refused. Hiro, Leon, Hifumi and Makoto all bonded together and were all stoked to meet up with Mondo, Taka and Chihiro. "I know Togster's a buzz kill but I actually invited him with us." Yasuhiro said. "He only came because you wouldn't stop calling him that and annoying him." Celeste said, annoyed and irritated. "Well, it's glad to see Togami coming." Makoto said, cheerfully. "I guess." Leon stretched his arms and placed his hands on Makoto's arms. Celeste looked and giggled. "What's so funny?" Leon asked. "Oh nothing. Let's just go." was all Celeste said.
