I walked out of the house feeling a little anxious about the situation. I got into my car and drove to Hope's Peak with so many thoughts running through my head. I wanted to be able to be the best teacher I can for the kids I get assigned to...but I know how much of a challenge that can be. But I am more than willing to make sure they get the best chance at learning what they need to know in school and in life.

I parked my car after the short drive and walked into the building. When I stepped through the door I immediately felt overwhelmed...

Would this turn out alright...? Or are they going to ask about Shuichi and then discard the idea of hiring me because of who I love...which is a shit move and honestly makes any of them the biggest assholes known to man-

"Kokichi!" I heard a familiar voice call out. I was confused by this before I turned around to see Nagito standing there. I was a little confused as to why he was there, but also happy that I was able to see him before I have to go and meet up with this M.K. guy. Which reminds me he is the son of the principal that was here while I attended this school...and caused some trouble, well that's until my parents threatened me if I kept acting that way...so that was short lived.

"Nagito?" I asked, turning my head to face him. He smiled at me before walking over to me to hug me. I smiled and hugged him back letting him hold me. "I haven't seen you here in awhile," He said, pulling back from the embrace. I smirked a bit and he gave me a knowing glass.

"Maybe it's because I ended up failing high school and can't move on without it!" I gasped a bit with fake tears in my eyes. Nagito sighed and put his hand on my shoulder. "You are a bright student so I doubt that...and if you did I'm sure Shuichi would have contacted me to see if I could help with your schooling..." He pat my head making me feel short...but I just groaned a bit.

"You caught me!" I said putting my hands up in defense. "I'm actually here to get interviewed for a teacher role!" I smiled, making his gaze go confused for a moment before he gasped and picked me up again. "Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me?" He gasped before he span be around once making me laugh a bit at the action.

"Well, I honestly didn't think about it..." I said a little awkwardly. "Sorry~" I teased a bit before he just rolled his eyes a bit. "But I could have told you not to worry much about the interview...sure the new guy can be intimidating but he is very kind." Nagito said before his eyes widened in manic pity as they would when he was feeling despair--even if it was a small amount.

"H-he even accepted me regardless of my relationship with Hajime, which is very admirable and kind." He said putting his hands to his cheeks as he panicked a bit more. I put my hands on his arms because he was really tall and I couldn't reach his shoulders very well.

"Nagito look at me, it's okay." I said a little sternly to snap him out of it. I know Hajime was definitely better than I am at caming Nagito down, but this is mostly because of how safe Nagito feels with him. I know Go-go has mentioned this multiple times to me when we have talked in the past. Which reminds me...if Nagito is here does it mean that Go-go is here as well? Or maybe Hajime?

After Nagito calmed down and his eyes went back to normal I decided to ask him. "So what are you doing here?" I asked slowly to make sure to not overwhelm him. He smiled a bit and put his hand to his chin for a moment. "I think Go-go came here to talk to her English teacher about if she would be able to know of any teenagers who would want to job shadow her" He said in a more matter-of-factly tone. I giggled a bit at this and smiled at him.

"She has always been more of the giving type." I said with a smile before we saw her walk out of one of the classrooms. "And that's why we love her so much," He said with a proud smile as she walked out of the classroom. She was wearing sneakers with jeans matching with a darker jean jacket that was wrapped around her waist. She was wearing a white t-shirt showing her arms that had some colorful bracelets up her arms...wait a moment. One of those is definitely a lesbian pride flag with a Pan one under it. I smiled and walked over to her.

"Go-go!" I smiled before she looked over at me. "Kokichi? Oh my god! I didn't think I was going to see you today!" She gasped as her eyes lighted up as she moved to hug me. She also was taller than me...which sure I grew a few inches over the past couple of years...but I have never been considered tall. She held me tightly as I moved my arms to rub her back. She was closer to my height than Nagito, Hajime, or even Shu was...but she was still a couple inches taller than me. But still close enough where she can still rest her head on my shoulder.

"I missed you!" She said again, making me laugh a bit. "And I didn't miss you?" I asked in a teasing tone to which she shook her head. "God I missed you my little girl!" I smiled and she smiled back at the nickname I would always call her--regardless of being shorter than her.

"And I missed you little dude!" She said, moving back to pat my head making me roll my eyes a bit. "Oh Go-go." I said gently, moving away from her as she moved over to Nagito. "It was so nice to see you! OH I also wanted to tell you we will all be there for your wedding Kokichi~" She said winking at me. How did she know about that?

"Go-go...?" I asked before they both waved to me. I sighed to myself knowing I was going to have to ask Shuichi about that later. I smiled to myself remembering why I came here in the first place and walked over to the main office to see where they wanted to interview me.

-Trying new things can always be a challenge...but having support and people who care about you there to remind you of how capable you are. It doesn't seem as hard-
