Kokichis pov

I stared up at the huge building that would starting from today be my learning environment. This is the start of everything. Once I step into this building everything will change. I took a deep breath and stepped in.

I walked to the entrance hall so Mr kirigiri could show us our class. I thought I saw someone fermillier but I couldn't be. Could it?

"gonta?" I said in disbelief

The giant teen looked over at me and smiled "friend kokichi I missed you!"

I felt a goofy grin spread across my face but before I could say anything my other friends came running up to him.

"holy shit gonta it's really you!" kaito yelled.

"gonta I missed you so much!" keade said tearfully.

"welcome back gonta" shuichi said slyly.

We all started talking excitedly to our giant friend. How could we not? We haven't seen him since we were toddlers but there was one question that echoed in my mind.

"gonta where did you disappear to?"

"gonta got lost for ten years" shit he got lost for that long? "gonta only return now and given title bug expert!"

"wow gonta that's impressive" keade giggled.

Before we could talk any further headmaster kirigiri came on and gave us our classroom. We were also given maps so we didn't get lost.

We took our seats in the classroom. Me sitting next to kaito, keade sitting next to gonta and shuichi sitting next to some avacado looking guy. At break kaito turned to us all dramatically.

"guys I think I'm in love!"

"wow I didn't think dumbasses could fall in love" I teased.

"hey!" kaito yelled. I chuckled. I've lived next door to this dummy since I was four! I know exactly what buttons to press to make the astronaut explode.

"so who are you in love with kaito?" shuichi asked trying to change the subject.

"maki" he replied. Maki?

"isn't she the assassin?" keade asked.

"everyone has their flaws" kaito argued.

"kaito I don't think this is going to work out and I'm saying this as your friend" shuichi said.

"what about you kokichi? Do you think I could pull this off?" he looked so desperate. I kinda felt bad.

"Well it's unlikely but if anyone could pull it off it would be you"

"yes! Thanks neighbour!" kaito ruffled my hair and ran over to makis desk.

"kokichi why did you say that? He's going to get hurt!" keade whisper-yelled.

"he would have done it anyway you know how headstrong he is!" I argued.

"that's true" keade muttered.

Maki rejected him of course and he came back looking a little hurt but also determined.

"I just gotta try harder that's all" kaito said confidently.

"kaito you are going to get hurt if you keep doing this!" keade warned him but kaito payed her no mind.

"don't worry about me keade! I'll win maki-rolls heart just you watch!"

"there's no talking to you!"

And that is how my new school life began.
