Chapter 4: happiness?

Ayanokoji POV

I made my way to my dorm as I was once again alone, it felt a little empty but also gave me the space I needed for gathering my thoughts, today was a day that felt so amazingly different that this experience made me feel things I could've never imagined

I made my way to the dorms and found the dorm with my name. 401

how ironic, 401. It almost feels like a joke how ironic it is to see that it was the number given to me, it's like it followed me here.

Ignoring the irony that was the number 401, I made my way inside of this minimalistic dorm as I placed my bag down and laid on the bed

This place was the one where I finally got my escape from the empty life of my past

The question I came to this school to obtain an answer for.....

How can one be happy, does it depend on the people and what makes people happy? So far these questions riddled my mind as I wish to discover what true happiness is, not only for myself but also for others.

Such a confusing world we live in, but like a baby bird, I only discovering this world and all it has to offer. I will fly freely one day, but that day isn't here yet. Afterall that man is just like me, he isn't the one who will give up.

I laid the thought's that plagued my mind to rest as I let my brain drift off and fell asleep, ending my first day in this school.

The next day

Class D....... they had no care, the teacher was teaching as people did whatever they wanted to, they played with their phones, they gossiped and they didn't care if the teacher taught or not.

The teacher didn't care! she just kept teaching with a casual smile! if I did this at my previous place of education, I would be punished severely

I ignored those thoughts as I continued listening to the lecture as Horikita besides me took notes, she noticed my gaze as she narrowed her eyes. Oh no, did she notice I wasn't taking any notes? wait, it shouldn't be too bad, most people in class weren't

As the classes came to a halt, I saw the clock tick away till it was break time.

I was going to start eating when I saw that Horikita had already returned to her seat.

She had on her desk a sandwich that looked delicious. I wish I could ask her to share but I wasn't sure how to approach her

So I returned to my seat without saying anything.

When I was about to take my first bite of my bread, music started to play out of the speakers.

"Today, at 5pm in gymnasium number 1, there will be a club fair. For those of you with an interest in clubs, please come to gymnasium number 1. I repeat, today" the speaker roared loudly as I looked to the red eyed beauty

"Horikita...." I began as she immediately said

"I am not going with you, I have no interest in clubs" she said with a cold look as I looked away, disappointed that nothing seemed to be going well for me

"Alright.... I guess I will just go alone and look around...." I said slowly, appearing even a little sad yet still maintaining my monotone face

Horikita noticing the difference in tone asked

"Why are you so disappointed that I won't go? you still have Sudo going there, you could hang out with him and his friends" she said, almost in a way to console me as I shook my head and simply said

"I wanted to go with you, I thought it would be nice to hang out with you and check the facilities offered by the school" I said as Horikita's face suddenly reddened as she took a breath and moved her hair behind her ear
