(Y/B/F/N)'s POV
                          
I pet her head to help her sleep. At middle school, we used to pet her head a lot. It helped her... relax... I think. Her chocolate locks, I could never forget them. I began to playfully braid her hair. I did a miniature braid to the side, she always had a weird frame whenever she put her hair up. When I finished I tied it off and looked around. I went outside and picked some powder blue flowers, white flowers, and a few lilac ones as well. I returned to see the two idiots that were obviously planning to come here during the girls' time had moved two booths closer. I glared at them in disgust. Kazuichi moved back by one booth along with a terrified Hajime.
                          
I gently tucked the flowers into the braid. By the time I was done it looked as if five minutes had passed. "Hey look who's over there!" Kazuichi exclaimed. I shot him a glare. If staring could kill the two of them would be dead already. Kazuichi nervously made his way outside with Hajime. I decided to stay with (Y/N). I sat there humming a little tune from a game that me and (Y/N) had played. I looked outside the window to see who could possibly be outside. 
                          
I saw Fuyuhiko. Weird, he was flustered, he is never flustered. I wondered with curiosity what could have happened. Maybe he did something? It bugged my mind until the duo of stupidity returned with two more people. I looked up to see Ibuki and Mikan. Ibuki was obviously discouraged and I shot her a look, inviting her to sit with us. She still had an unusual atmosphere following her. "Hey what's the matter?" I asked. "Well those two invited themselves to join us," Ibuki muttered unhappily. "Yeah it sucks," I agreed. Mikan seemed to be very flustered. "Hey what's wrong Mikan?" I asked her. "Well w-we wanted t-to decline b-but I thought it was rude, n-now it feels weird to have them cr-crashing our party," Mikan replied sadly. "I know," I muttered angrily. I then asked them if they were swimming and they said yes, they were just wearing their clothes over it, like us. 
                          
Ibuki turned her head to (Y/N)'s braid. "Hey that's cool, who did that?" Ibuki asked. "I did, I remembered how she liked to braid her hair, and she always thought it would be cool if she could put flowers in it," I replied. "Y-your so sweet t-to (Y/N)!" Mikan complimented. Once again the awkward silence between us and the boys returned. We waited for the other girls to come. Ibuki finally whined abot everyone coming so late, but to be fair we arrived early. As she said that she turned to the window. "Hey everyone look at that!" Ibuki exclaimed, pointing at the window. Everyone turned their gazes to the window. It was Hiyoko running to the beach or some where, where Fuyuhiko came from the beach, maybe even the beach house... suspicious. 
                          
Kazuichi complained about it being Hiyoko and not 'Miss' Sonia. Hajime wondered about why it was strange for her to be running that way. Then Ibuki said the most suspicious thing, "If I had to describe it as a song title, it'd be the 'Sprint of Tears'!" Mikan asked why she was running from the beach, did something happen. Despite our wonders she passed us. "Hey Ibuki, why did you call it the 'Sprint of Tears'?" I asked scared. "Whaaaaat? (Y/B/F/N) is scared? Well obviously, tears were flowing down her face, like a water fall!" Ibuki explained. "Guys I am seriously worried, can I have some people come with me to the beach house? Ibuki, Hajime?," I asked. I ran out of the diner praying they would follow. 
                          
I was on the beach, a few yards from the beach house. "Guys don't step on Hiyoko's foot prints please!" I asked, demanded. I knew they were behind me. "You're talking as if she mur-" Ibuki stopped there. We all carefully made our way around to the building. I went to the front doors and stared it down. What was this feeling, was I scared about what was behind these closed doors? Why was I worried? I shoved the feelings down a pit right now. I took a struggled breath and looked back at my compadres. "Hey guys, wait here, please, I'll scream if it's anything, but if you don't hear anything I might be in shock, just come in a few seconds after me okay? Also one at a time," I addressed. I needed to learn something. This is definitely a murder, but will the Monokuma announcement sound for the dead body? They gave me a comforting smile. I took a shaky step forward, when did I become so terrified? I put my hand on the door knob. I could feel my hands sweat profusely. I began taking heavy, shaky breaths. I closed my eyes. I turned the knob and pushed forward. I stopped once it was enough for only me to slip in. I slipped in and turned my back away from the room. I gave them a wave. I slipped in and closed the door I took two deep breaths and turned around. 
                          
"NO!" I screamed. And then a familiar announcement sounded. A Body Discovery Announcement. I fell to my knees in front of Mahiru, she was a close friend of mine. I covered my eyes with my hands and cried. I heard the squeaky sound of the door opening. I heard two gasp sound at the same time. Then a shriek, obviously Ibuki. "Ibuki, go get everyone, to gather here, I'll stay and start the investigation," Hajime demanded. Ibuki probably devoid of happiness ran out of the room silently. I heard footsteps come towards me. I was scrunched up in a tight ball, unable to hide my sadness. All you could here were my sobs. I felt two warm arms envelope me. "I DON'T WANT THE PITY OF A KILLER!" I shouted at him. The arms loosened around my frame but stayed. "I didn't kill Mahiru, me staying with you is enough proof, at the diner," Hajime said, "I am not pitting you, I am just giving you the comfort you deserve." I eventually gave in and cried even harder. He just rubbed soothing circles in my back.
