Hoop's Peak Academy...
Some say that it exists, others don't... But as for me...
Long have I lived in the shadow of my younger sister. If I really wanted to talk about myself, then I probably would. But this is her story, not mine. Yeah. I exist. But at the same time I don’t matter. Wow. That was depressing. But wasn’t that also insanely profound and relatively cool-sounding? Maybe I should-
“Shut up, Onii-san,” says a heavenly voice as her left elbow accidentally connects to my abdomen, “We’re not even related! And stop mumbling my name under your breath - it’s creepy!” And then she’s quickly out the door.
Wow. That hurt. But she’s always embarrassed when it comes to expressing her real feelings, so it’s to be expected. But you know what really hurts? This floor, man. This floor. It’s pretty dirty. I’ll have to remember to clean it before the next time these sort of accidents occur. But! Back to her! She can deny it all she wants, but Tamaki Nagase is related to me! Yes, that’s right! My younger sister is related to me and I am her older brother! I confirm this everyday by looking at our mailbox every time I step out. Whenever I do, my finger trembles with anticipation as it traces each letter of each nameplate. It’s truly a wonder whether or not the moment comes...
Tamaki Nagase... Hoshi Nagase… Yes! We’re still related! But I still don’t get why her nameplate is above mine. Hm… Interesting. Interesting.
...And now to get back inside to get changed.
Ever since I can remember, she’s always been a very shy girl. Why, she can’t express her feelings properly at all. I don’t even see her at breakfast because she’s too busy trying to catch the early bus. I’ll have to make a mental note to sleep in early, just to show that she’s not alone.
Every morning I check the mailbox to see if there’s anything worth noting. While doing so today, something was off. No, something was different. Somehow there’s this gigantic feeling that I’m somehow special, like I know it already… Then again that’s probably just there as filler so that we can get down to the really interesting parts…
Before I know it, I’m ripping open an envelope, and the letter inside is already in my very hands, its insignia catching my attention. The sender was none other that...
Hoop’s Peak Academy.
Surely this was for my sister! Surely it must! What was really baffling was when my name came into view. There was no mistake at all - Hoop’s Peak Academy was too perfect to make them!
The contents reveal the following:

“Oh. Fucking. Hell.”
The. Fuck. Is. This?
If I hadn’t already known about Hope’s Peak Academy’s stance on talents, I could’ve easily passed this off as a joke. Even so… Were they dead serious about me attending...with this SHSL? Even more so… WHY HASN’T MY SISTER GOTTEN ONE? AM I NOT SUPPOSE TO BE ATTENDING THE SAME SCHOOL AS HER? But no sooner do I find myself catching my breath. Whew. Whew. Wow. I forgot. My sister already attends the school. Ahahahaha… Silly me.
So when do I start class? Today? No? Oh, okay. I can fix that. There is a sweet sound of marking pen scribbles being made as I correct the date to today. There! Finished! Whew... What an effort! Now my parents won’t be so worried about me not going to my old school anymore! Hoop's Peak Academy really needs to know what’s important for everyone. Good thing my handwriting is, like, font-like! You wouldn’t be able to tell if this was printed or printed!
I quickly jam the letter back into the envelope and back into the mailbox. Good news always needs to be around whenever I need it anyway! Walking toward my bus stop, the sudden thought of this morning put a smile on my face. It wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect. It wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect. It wasn’t perfect, but it was perfect. It was- Oh, wow. I already said that three times, didn’t I? Ahahahaha… Silly me.
You know what’s the best part? It wasn’t just the date I just corrected…
