What do you do? What do you say? What is socializing? You normally don't make the first move, you usually just got adopted into friend groups by funny extroverts, you actually had no idea how to keep a conversation going or what you were doing right now.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
You just went with what your gut instinct was telling you to do in this situation.
hyperjuggalo: nah,, just wondering if u b friends. u seem chill.
korekiyoshinguuji731: I'm not opposed to that idea.
How the hell were you supposed to respond to that? Why can't this guy just use slang instead of speaking formally?
hyperjuggalo: cool wanna meet up in the caf at lunch tomorrow??
That was a bold move of you, asking a guy to hang out after sending 2 texts to him.
korekiyoshinguuji731: Kehehe... You seem very trusting, asking a man to hang out after sending only two texts to him.
That's exactly what I was thinking! Why am I like this?! You thought to yourself, feeling your palms getting sweatier in embarrassment.
hyperjuggalo: ive actually been meaning to ask for a while know so thats prolly why
That's a big fat lie and you know it!
korekiyoshinguuji731: Whatever suits your fancy. I'm always willing to hear the thought process of others, kehehe...
At this point, you had just realized that this man was not saying "lol" or "lmao" or any short forms like that to express laughter through text like a normal human being, this man was typing out "kehehe" every time he wanted to laugh in text form. You were very weary about this fact, but continued to talk to him nonetheless.
hyperjuggalo: thats kinda freaky
korekiyoshinguuji731: I do tend to have a "freaky" aura at times, depending on what your definition of a "freak" is.
Is this a flirt? Is this how boys flirt? You asked yourself.
hyperjuggalo: lmao okay see u at lunch tomorrow
korekiyoshinguuji731: I never agreed to hanging out with you. You're very quick to getting to know people, kehehe... I will accept though, you seem very... Interesting.
Man, You thought, he's creepier than I thought he'd be. No backing out now, mama didn't raise a pussy.
You left him on "seen" and put your phone down on your bedside table. You laid down in your bed and stared at your ceiling, pondering what you had gotten yourself into.
Oh well, at least if I get murdered tomorrow I'll at least have been murdered by someone mildly attractive. You thought.

You looked down at your phone as you leaned your back against one of the walls of your big school cafeteria. You weren't actually doing anything on your phone, you were just waiting for Korekiyo and you didn't want to look suspicious, so you tried to look more casual by looking down at your phone.
"Hello, (Y/N)."
You looked up to see a familiar face, or at least, a familiar upper face due to the fact that you couldn't see his lower face, towering over you. Your heart skipped a beat as soon as you realized who it was.
"Hey Korekiyo, didn't see ya' there!" You exclaimed nervously, leaning back off of the wall and averting eye contact with Korekiyo again.
"Please, just call me Kiyo." He insisted.
You didn't really know what else to say, causing a moment of silence between you and Kiyo. The silence was broken by Kiyo,
"So, what exactly were you planning on doing?" He asked.
"I-I don't know, I was thinking of just walking around the school and talking, y'know? W-We can get to know each other better that way." You managed to stutter out.
Despite the fact that his mouth was covered, you could see a small smile in Kiyo's eyes, "Of course, that sounds nice. You lead the way, (Y/N)."
Oh no. You were NOT much of a leader person, but this was your time to become one. You walked Kiyo to some of the secluded, quiet spots that you and your best friend usually hung out at when couples weren't making out there.
Along your walk, the two of you asked each other basic icebreaker questions, you ended up learning a lot about Korekiyo, but you didn't learn anything about his family life though. However, you did learn that he was very much into anthropology, you learned what anthropology even was, and you learned that he found certain cultural customs and traditions from all around the world very interesting. You also learned that he had travelled around to different parts of the globe quite a bit too. You still got some creepy vibes from Kiyo, but talking to him made you open up to him a little bit more.
During your walk, you felt something bugging you. A thought, a question blooming in your mind that was nagging at you to ask it. You had just met Kiyo, so you didn't want to ask it, but you eventually gave up fighting your own conscience and let the question slip out of your mouth.
"So, um, a-are the rumours that you, um, are, um, in a relationship with your sister, are those true?" You felt your hands physically shaking after asking this. You were so ready to throw yourself into the sun for trying to casually ask that.
"Although it is true that I have a sister, she died of an illness when I was very young, so no, I am not in an incestuous relationship with my sister." He said calmly, almost solemnly in a way.
"Oh... I'm so sorry, Kiyo." You mumbled out, feeling pity for the taller man.
"It's alright, (Y/N). I've gotten over it by now, she's in a... much better place now."
You still felt bad about bringing it up, even if your curiousity was no longer hungry. "Say, lunch is almost about to end, what do you say we go chill at the nearby ice cream place tomorrow at lunch?" You asked.
"That would be... wonderful, (Y/N), simply splendid. It's been lovely having a chat with you, I will see you tomorrow." Kiyo said, walking off in another direction from you.
You felt happy that you got to know Kiyo better and found out that he's not really that bad of a guy, but you also still felt bad for bringing up his sister, even if he said it was okay.
♡♡♡
When you got home, you did what you normally did and swung you bag on your chair before slumping into your soft bed. Despite the fact that you did your daily routine like any other normal day, something felt special about today. Something about meeting someone new just made it feel a lot more special than every other day. You were still going to continue your boring, everyday life as usual though, just with the addition of Kiyo in your friend group.
I wonder what my other friends would think of Kiyo. You thought. They might have the same reaction you did at first, but they could warm up to him and become his friend too! You'd just have to introduce them one day and see what would happen.
Before you could spiral down your hole of overthinking again, you let a yawn escape from your mouth. You must have been EXTRA drained from school today if you were already ready to take a nap. You fell back onto your pillow and as soon as you hit it, you fell asleep peacefully.
