My mind was in chaos as I found myself in the apartment I used to live in during my highschool days. I have no recollection of leaving my house last night. What can it be? How am I here? Kidnapping? Then where are the kidnappers plus its almost impossible to break in my house without alarming me. And I was not even tied down, I was free to move, free to escape. So why am I here? Why?

Calm down me. There is no need to panic. It must be some kind of prank. A big prank. Beat option is to call Hayato. Thus I moved my hand under the pillow to take out my phone. Huh? There was a phone there but it wasn't mine. This phone, the ine I just picked, I think I used to own the same model 10 years ago. God, whoever planned this prank has done a through research. But who will go to such a length just for a prank. As expected the phone was locked. But am having a feeling that I know the password. Some letters and number keep flashing in my head and as I entered them this phone unlocked. Okay, thats scary. Why do I know the password? I have no time to think about these small thing first I have to call Hayato. I dialled the number manually as I have memorized it but as I hit the call button a mechanical female voice came from other side saying the number is invalid. Invalid? I tries again but each time the number was said to be invalid. I tried calling every number I know and each of them were said to be invalid. Hearing the mechanical voice again and again became irritating thus I stopped attempting thinking that I will try again later. As i was about to switch off the screen my eyes fell one the date and time displayed on it. At first sight everything looked normal but when I focused on it I saw something mind wrecking. The year. It was showing 2013 instead of 2023. 2013? As in 10 years back. Okay if they can place the same phone I used to own 10 years back under my bed changing the year on display was a easy feat for them. My eyes again roamed around the room and the nostalgia hit me hard. I was feeling as if I was back to my highschool days. But it was no time for reminiscing about the past. My priority should be to leave this place asap. I was in my pyjamas so I was hesitant to go outside but as I have no option left I decided Otherwise.

I get up from the bed on which I was sitting this whole time, took the phone eventhough it wasn't mine, but I can return it afterwards and states walking towards the room door. As I was passing from the side of dressing table my eyes fell on my reflection. What my eyes saw was too much of a surprise. It had enough impact that I fell backwards due to the shock.

Ehhhh? The sight infront of me was nerve wrecking. It was as if I have seen a dragon. This image was too much for my mind to take. It was too much to process and comprehend. The refection when I see in mirror was mine but it wasn't mine at the same time. It was me I can guarantee you that but it wasn't the current me. It was my highschool self the looked back at me from inside the mirror. The reflection on the mirror was a little bit shorter than my current height. A lot less curvier. A body of a child instead of a grown woman. I have even cut my hair short upto my mid back. But this reflection has a lot longer hair. The childish fac, small breast, shorter height, longer hair, smaller body. All this feature were similar to my teenage self not my current one. I inspected the mirror for an trick but it look quiet normal to me. So why do I like a highschool student. I even double checked it with the camera of mobile but the result were same. Why do I look like this.

My mind was in frenzy, I could no longer think straight. I was soo shocked that I even forget that I was about to leave this place. I must be dreaming. This was the only conclusion I could get at this point. It was too unreal for a prank but it was also too vivid for a dream. But still it could be nothing but a dream. Dream. Yes a dream. A dream born from my wish to correct all my mistake. A dream from my wish to get a second chance.

"Sigh...Yes, so Yukinoshita yukino, Yuigahama yui, Miura Yumiko, Kawasaki Saki and Isshiki Iroha, do you know why I called you all here" said Hiratsuka with sigh. They all nodded in affirmations.

"Good so as you know missing more than 1 day of class without asking permission is subjective to punishment, don't you. Now what might ve the reason for all the five of you to miss 3days of class at the same time without giving a letter of leave or even reporting in on your absence through a phone call." This time there was anger in her tone. Wh only she have to deal with all this stuff.

The five of them sensed Hiratsuka's anger and each other confusion looked at the other fore in utter disbelief. Their eyes tried to search something in eyes of other four. They could sense the tension, disbelief, confusion and many other thing from each other.

Thus began the waifu war( just kidding)

A/N- well nothing really happened in this chapter. You can call it a interlude or a filler. But from next chapter we will start the real story. First thing first I am not supporting any ship neither I am bashing as character. Almost every character will feeling like an asshole at some point of time in this story. So don't get offended if your fav character did something worth getting hanged.

Lastly, the child in Yukino's womb was Hachiman's only. She didn't slept with Hayama at least not before hachiman's and her divorce. So yep no NTR. No in the literal sense anyway.

I am open to ideas her so you want something in this story (except for me to drop it) then don't hesitate to tell me. One last thing, on which timeline should I drop them in. Tell me from point in the light novel do you want me to start from.

I am planning to update balance next but if you want this one to continue then I may continue on this one.

Thanks for the support.
