M/n POV:
it was only around 4 but I decided to just get ready for school because I have nothing better to do with life at this point. Ren was obviously still asleep like a reasonable human being, so I quietly did everything I needed to in the morning. I grabbed my bag that I set by my bed, grabbed my room key from my desk, and slid my laptop in my bag.
I quickly unplugged my phone and walked out of the room, I went to the courtyard on the side of the school taking a seat under the tree. i drew the first thing that came to mind and I happened to be firm the event of last night. what I drew was all the monsters in my mind standing around what looked like a faint image of my room. 
I was staring at the image for a bit until I heard "Now that's terrifying." from slightly behind me. I turned my head around the see Ryoma standing there looking at my drawing. 
I rolled my eyes flipping the page to start something new "What are you doing here?"
he sat down beside me "So you don't want an explanation?"
I set my pencil on the page closing my book and looking at him slightly "I do but you should have started with that."
he started explaining why the group stopped talking to me and became friends with Ren in the first place. apparently, it started with Hisa, Ren talked to her privately one day and said that if she continued to be friends with me and talking to me he would out her to the entire school. it went like that with Asami, Kenzo, and lastly Ryoma, since none of them were out yet they listened to him not wanting people to find out about it. 
when I basically came out to the school, most of them weren't very accepting at first. I forgot to mention it, but they would write things on our room door, things like the f-slur and more rude things, which were homophobic. they stopped after about 2 weeks when everyone got bored with it and moved on with their lives. 
there were more incidents at school and outside of it with people being rude to us about our sexuality and they didn't want that to happen to them as well so they listened to him. they really did want to stop talking to me but they also didn't want people to repeat what they did to other people. they also didn't want that to be the way their parents found out because that would be an awkward conversation. 
I just sat there listening I could barely believe what Ryoma was telling me because I didn't think that Ren would go that far, but to be fair this is the first time anyone has seen me with friends. i see down my sketchpad processing what I was just told, it was a lot to take in but after a minute or two my brain caught up and i turned to Ryoma with a smirk on my face. "And you are terrifying when you look like that, what do you have in mind?" 
I looked towards the door of the school seeing no one so that was a good sign and i continued, "I was just thinking...now that I know what happened, why not have a little fun with it." 
he sighed before laughing a bit which is surprising because he has a neutral expression most of the time, "I like what your thinking, I'm in." after that, we talked a bit more until he decided to leave before Ren got there and saw us talking. a couple of minutes passed and I decided to head to the classroom 'time to bring out the acting skills I guess.' I walked into the classroom as nothing happened and didn't acknowledge Hisa because that would give away the fact that I knew something and ruin the whole plan I had thought of. 
Mei was waiting for me with a questionable look on her face as i walked in with a bit more confidence than usual, I sat down and turned to her talking straight away. "...so are you in or not?" I asked with a smile.
"Oh, I'm so in, anything to properly meet this amazingly disastrous group of yours."
"I think you'll like them." the bell rang and she had to go back to her class, while i had to focus on the lesson in front. I didn't pay attention but not because I didn't want to i really didn't have a choice, unlike what I told people i can't focus. well it's not that i can't, I can but the way these people teach is just so boring that i can't focus on anything that they're saying. I'm a more fast-speed person than a slow one like when someone is teaching, that's why even though i don't pay attention i can still get the answer correct because i can quickly do that problem just by seeing it once.
