Monday: 5:30, Michael Seishiro's room.
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
"Ugh... morning... who the hell woke me up this early?" The handsome boy, with neck-length white hair and sharp blue eyes, slowly woke up before slowly scratching the blue rose tattoo on the left side of his neck. Morning, his most hated moment. In a sleepy daze, the boy grabbed onto the clock before smashing it against his table.
"About time you shut up already." Michael slowly walked to the small apartment that he had rented before checking his crazy bed hair, making him groan. After quickly using water to calm his bed hair. The boy set out on a journey, the ball named Michael Seishiro... was an enigma to almost every student. The moment he finished his breakfast, he checked his watch and sighed as it showed 8:30. Why did he take so long, you ask? Because he took a long detour to avoid every single person.
With a depressed look on his face, he stared at the massive bell in the middle of the school, took a huge breath in and walked in. Many people stared at him, some whispering and glancing at him sideways. Michael couldn't help but overhear some people whispering about him, "Isn't that the delinquent who stalked someone?" The girl gave a harsh glare at Michael before another one of her friends joined in, "Human scum, that one. He's obviously a delinquent, look at his tattoo and white hair." With the guys almost looking ready to beat him up. "I can't believe that asshole is part of the student council." One of the guys whispered.
That's right, the fifth member of the student council is... General Affairs Officer, Michael Seishiro.
Monday: Shuchi'in Academy rooftop, 9:45:
Michael scratched the rose tattoo that was on his neck before staring down at the numerous couples that were currently forming below the rooftop. Over the past few weeks, the hallways of the academy had been flooded with new couples holding hands with each other, making Michael groan in disgust.
On Michael's right is a boy flirting with a girl using some cheesy one-liners.
On his left is a boy patting his girlfriend's head while she leans on his shoulder.
But what made Michael almost glare in disgust was that there was a couple making out right in front of him with no shame whatsoever.
And worst of all, right behind Michael, there was another couple saying, "how they love each other more." Apparently.
Michael wasn't opposed to love; in fact, he was someone who didn't reject the idea of being loved. The moment he left all of the couples alone with an emotionless look on his face, a girl with pink hair and a ribbon on her forehead suddenly spun towards him.
"Seishiro-Kun!!!" The girl suddenly spun towards Michael before Michael dodged her. Chika Fujiwara, the Secretary of the Student Council and one of the few people Michael actually sees as a friend in this hellhole. She has one of the best smiles that could light up an entire room. Though she can be a little... dumb at times, all things she does is for love.
Chika slowly pouted at Michael, who just stood there and stared outside the window with a groan on his face. "How many times do I have to say not to just spin at me like that?" Chika kept pouting at Michael, who ignored her. "Come on, Seishiro-Kun! We've been friends for so long already." Michael just sighed before leaving the area, and Chika followed him.
"You can't ignore me forever, Michael." It took all of Michael's willpower not to say something snarky in return, as he knew that Chika was the one who had helped him in the past. "I'm just going to the student council room, I wanna check up on everything-" Michael suddenly stopped and turned to see Chika with a smile on her face, poking at his nose.
"I'm going to drama club now, bye, Michael~" Chika quickly rushed off, making Michael sigh in despair before slowly opening the door to see Miyuki Shirogane, the student council president, with short blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, and bags underneath his eyes. He was apparently talking to a person with long, gloomy black hair that covered one side of his eye, with a dull expression basically imprinted onto his face.
Michael slowly stepped into the student council room before giving a small glance at the boy. Shirogane just took a glance at Michael before Michael made himself comfortable by sitting down on the spot right beside Shirogane. Ishigami just stared at Michael weirdly before Michael got extremely close to Ishigami's face.
"Who is this guy, President?" Michael turned his head towards Shirogane, who just sighed and turned back to Michael. "Did you forget? The "guy" is Yu Ishigami, he's the treasurer of the student council, and I'm sure that you've never met him before, since you joined later than he did. Ishigami, the white-haired guy, is Michael Seishiro." Michael leaned his head on his fist before crossing his leg over the desk, and kept the same emotionless look on his face.
Shirogane just glanced at Michael before sighing, and Ishigami handed Shirogane a USB, presumably of this month's financial report. "Also..." Ishigami started to speak before Shirogane stared at him curiously. "What is it?" Ishigami took a shaky breath before letting it out, "I want to quit the student council." Miyuki cleared his throat before staring into his fist. "Please don't! Without you, we'll suffer a collapse!" Miyuki immediately bowed his head to Ishigami, while Michael just stared at Ishigami with the word "curious", basically etched into his face.
"What's so important about this guy?"
"Without him, Michael, you can't get the good drinks from the vending machine anymore!"
Michael immediately followed Miyuki's example and bowed his head to Ishigami.
"Please stay, I want to stay loved by the vending machine with the good coffee!!!"
Yu Ishigami. An expert data processor. At Shuchi'in Academy, only the president is elected. All other officers are appointed. Though he, just like Michael Seishiro, is merely a recently enrolled first-year student, their talents are such that they have joined the student council after being scouted by Shirogane. Normally, he takes his work home with him and only appears for meetings, but a member nonetheless.
Michael's face now turned serious before staring into Ishigami's eyes like they were staring into his soul.
"Ishigami... why do you want to quit so suddenly?"
Ishigami sighed before a tear fell down his cheek.
"I'm... likely to get killed."
Michael and Shirogane took one look at each other before their faces turned serious again.
"B-B-By who?" Michael carefully treaded on this topic before Ishigami turned away.
"I think... Shinomiya-Senpai is plotting my demise."
Michael shared a look of sympathy with Ishigami before he placed a hand on Ishigami's shoulder.
"I get it, I really get it. She's a real demon, huh?"
Shirogane just stared at Michael blankly before clearing his throat at Ishigami.
"Mind telling why Shinomiya?"
"Her eyes... I can tell someone's true character by 5 or 6 percent just based on their eyes."
Shirogane just had a look of exasperation on his face before looking at Ishigami.
"That's not much, I can do the same!"
"Sometimes... when she looks at me or Seishiro... she has the intent to kill..."
Ishigami shakily blurted out before staring at the floor.
"I believe that her assassination skills are top-level. Only a pro would use the edge of a sofa to strangle someone."
"A-Assassination skills? Who do you think Shinomiya is?"
Shirogane stared at Ishigami with a bewildered face before Ishigami started to shake in his boots. Michael stared at Ishigami
"No, no, President Shirogane, Shinomiya is more than likely... a real-life killer. Fujiwara-senpai, she's in even more danger. Sometimes, Shinomiya-senpai stares at her as if she's less than human."
Shirogane just stared at Michael blankly before he realised that Michael was being dead serious.
"By our estimation, I suggest she'll only last about another 2 months. I recommend saying our goodbyes before it's too late."
Shirogane stared at Michael with a look of bewilderment again as Michael just wore the exact same emotionless expression on his face.
"Don't worry, Ishigami, we will get through this together, okay? Shinomiya-san is nothing but a shrimp we can't handle! You. Will. Live."
Ishigami stared at Michael before giving him a high-five, and tears fell down his face. The moment a tear fell down Ishgami's face, the woman of their fears arrived.
"Kaichou?"
There it is, Kaguya Shinomiya, a beautiful, fair-skinned girl, with long black hair that is tied by a black-red ribbon standing there with a psychotic look on her face while holding a knife, with blood splattered all over her clothes.
"Is Ishigami and Seishiro-Kun here?"
Shirogane and Ishigami started to scream like girls before Michael got ready to kick Shinomiya in the face. Shinomiya just stared at Michael blankly before poking at his shoe with the knife, just for the knife to feel like plastic. Miyuki, Shirogane, and Ishigami just stared at the knife with a blank expression.
"What? You didn't need to bring that prop, you know." Michael stared at Shinomiya blankly before she smiled.
"This... well, I just thought I'd play a little practical joke. Haha, I apologise." Kaguya giggled before Ishigami and Michael kept their stern expressions.
"President, this is a trap. She gives you that cute look, and the moment you let your guard down... Boom, you're dead on the floor." Seishiro had a sweat down the side of his face before Shirogane gave him a shocked expression.
"Seishiro, don't talk so creepily." Shirogane guided Ishigami and Michael to the side before the door opened again and revealed Chika Fujiwara with a knife in her chest, as well as blood and a dead expression on her face.
"Shirogane... Seishiro... help me." Michael, Shirogane, and Ishigami's soul almost left their bodies before Chika had a smile on her face. "Kaguya killed me."
"I knew it!!!" Shirogane yelled out, which made Kaguya gain a pout on her face. "What do you mean you knew it? This is special effects make-up! You should've figured that out from before!" Kaguya yelled at Shirogane, making him snap back to reality.
"President, it's a trap! I bet she's really dead and Shinomiya has-" Ishigami blurted out before Shirogane placed a hand on Ishigami's shoulder.
"Ishigami, you're paranoid. Shinomiya would never kill anyone. You ought to trust your friends..." Shirogane stared at Ishigami with kindness in his eyes before Ishigami had a look of enlightenment on his face.
Shinomiya smiled before slowly walking over to where Ishigami and Michael were, "Ishigami, Seishiro. About that thing earlier, I'm glad you two kept quiet about it. They say 'silence is a virtue', after all, and if you say anything." Shinomiya stabbed the fake knife at Michael's chest, still keeping the same angelic smile. "This prop won't be enough for what I'm going to do to you. And you mustn't cause trouble for Kaichou, please... don't threaten to quit the student council again."
Michael and Ishigami both had a shiver down their necks as there was only one thought going through their heads. "Was she... listening the whole time?"
Today's battle result: Ishigami and Michael lose. Ishigami wants to quit because of Kaguya, but he can't quit because of Kaguya, and Michael is still scared of Kaguya.
