The Participants

                                    

                                          
I waited in the nurse's office, hoping that the nurse would be able to take care of Amami and Iruma. "T-they'll be alright!In the meantime, take this for your wound." The nurse said, putting a white bandage on my cheek where Momota had punched me. This nurse reminds me of Tsumiki... I sighed and rested my head in the palm of my hand. Saihara called me cool...I want to be in Danganronpa even more now.. My phone vibrated as I thought. 
                          
Misumi: Hey. You left without saying goodbye again. You can wake us up you know. Or at least me.
                          
Oma: Sorry Mitsumi-chan. I was in a hurry today.
                          
Mitsumi: I saw the Danganronpa form you had on your laptop. Are you going? 
                          
Oma: Maybe. Saihara wants me too. Iruma and Amami want me to as well
                          
Mitsumi: I support your decisions..but if you go, don't forget to say goodbye, okay? 
                          
Oma: I promise I won't
                          
I put my phone away as the bell rang for class. I should wait for Amami and Iruma, but if I go to class now, I can check that notification from Team Danganronpa. I shook my head and started walking to class, saying a silent goodbye to Iruma and Amami. They're good friends. I don't know many people who would stick up for me. "Hey." I heard an unfamiliar voice call out to me. Turning, I faced Akamatsu, expressionless as always. "You really didn't have to beat the shit out of Momota you know. I'm not saying it was wrong, but the poor guy has to go home like that now. He's in the hospital." I rolled my eyes. Momota pisses me off. "I don't think you have the right to give your input Akamatsu. After all, you weren't bullied by him since you were twelve years old, were you?" Akamatsu sighed and turned to walk to class, but stopped, still not facing me. "I've said it before. I don't believe in people and I have no hope for humanity. However, I have to agree with Saihara. Someone like you should definitely be in the next killing game. I'd love to see you in the show." 
                          
Akamatsu walked away, not giving any sort of sign that she cared whatsoever. "That girl is confusing, huh?" I turned and faced Hoshi-kun. He was expressionless, much like her, but you could see that something made him like that, unlike Akamatsu who was born with it. "Hey Hoshi. Did you try for Danganronpa too?" " Yeah, but someone like me's still got a way's to go before I can get on that show." I nodded and we walked to class in comfortable silence.
                          
I sat in my seat and stared out the window. The petals from the sakura trees were falling down peacefully. I couldn't help but smile at how nice everything outside. I sighed in relief at the sight when I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned and saw Saihara staring at me. His face turned red and he turned back around. Hm? Why was Saihara staring at me? I dismissed my thoughts as the teacher spoke up.
                          
"Okay everyone! Pull out your phones and tap on the Team Danganronpa notification!" I pulled out my phone and clicked on it, closing my eyes until I thought it finished loading. When I opened my eyes, they immediately were dragged to the first line.

I stopped reading after I saw my name. Everyone in my class had made it as well. They must see something in us if we all got chosen. "Oh my gosh! I made it!" "Nyeh..this is awesome.." "The gods must have blessed me!" "This is truly beautiful." I smiled as I saw my name, then I heard footsteps rushing towards me. "Oma-kun! I knew you would make it! You're totally going on the show! We're gonna have so much fun together, I promise!" Saihara was speaking happily and he couldn't stop spouting words, not taking a break at any moment. 

                          
"Thanks Saihara! I hope we can have fun together in the game too." Saihara smiled and placed something on my desk, walking back to his own seat. He had left a piece of paper on my desk with my name on it. I opened up the paper and read the contents, my eyes widening. 
                          
"I like you Oma-kun. You're the coolest, kindest, most amazing person I've ever met and I wanted you to know that. I was gonna tell you at the cafe, but I just couldn't wait that long! I love you with every fiber of my being and I desperately want to be with you. I'm not sure you can return my feelings, but I want you to know that I will always support you and cheer you on!"
                          
My heart was beating very fast. Saihara...likes me? My face heated up and my body was shaking. 
                          
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          
School had ended and it was time to meet Saihara at the cafe. I was more nervous than I had ever been before, but I couldn't let him see that. I walked into the cafe and spotted Saihara wearing his usual hat. "Oma-kun! Over here!" I smiled and walked over to where Saihara was sitting. "So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked, rubbing my head. "Well...I know that you've made the Danganronpa final auditions..and I just wanted to say..I want to die with you." I stared at Saihara, eyes wide in confusion. 
                          
"W-what?" I asked, hoping he had said something wrong. "In Danganronpa, the chances of living are slim and death is very high. If I'm in that game with you Oma-kun," Saihara spoke, his hand grabbing my shaking one, " I would want to die with you. If you die, I'll kill myself to be with you. If I die, I want to die at your hands." Saihara tightened his grip on my hands and he looked at me, a strange look in his eyes. "O-oh...y-you want to...d-die with me?" I was stuttering, nervousness taking over my body. I wasn't used to this Saihara. 
                          
"Yes. No matter what, I want to be with you Oma-kun. Speaking of being with you, do you wanna come over to my house? I get really bored at my house and if you were there, I would never be bored." I was scared of Saihara, in a way I had never been before. "S-sure..I'll come over." Saihara nodded and smiled, releasing my hand from his grip. "I'm going to use the bathroom. Wait for me here." Nodding, I watched him walk to the bathroom and I pulled out my phone.
                          
Oma: I might be late coming home today. A friend invited me over.
                          
Mitsumi: Is it Saihara?
                          
Oma: Yeah...I promise I'll bring something delicious to eat for dinner
                          
Mitsumi: Okay..I'll tell the others to wait for you then...be safe. I don't trust people like Saihara
                          
Oma: I promise I'll be safe. See you soon
                          
I put my phone back as Saihara returned. "Let's go, shall we? I want to talk to you about the final audition." 
                          
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          
We arrived at Saihara's house and he unlocked the door. We walked inside and he sat me down on the couch. "I need to get something real quick so stay right here." I nodded and waited on his couch. My phone vibrated and I picked it up, opening the notification. 
                          
Iruma: R u with Saihara rn?!
                          
Oma: Yeah why? Is something wrong?
                          
Iruma: Leave rn! Im coming to get you!
                          
Oma: Leave? Why?
                          
Iruma: Just do it!
                          
Oma: I have no idea what ur talking about but okay fine
                          
Iruma: Thank god
                          
Iruma: Ur okay, right?
                          
Iruma: Oma?
                          
Iruma: Oma!
