Chapter 1 - Who am I?

(A/N: Wakey wakey it's time for school)

He opened his eyes.

The above him was a white ceiling.

"Matteo!" his mother called, "Get up! You need to hurry and get to your new school," she reminded.

'That's right' Matteo thought while drudging himself out of bed, 'I just moved, I'm going to a new school'

Walking to the bathroom, Matteo picked up his toothbrush and looked into the mirror.

"What?" Matteo muttered putting a hand on his face.

It wasn't his face, but it absolutely was. He remembered having this face, but he remembered having a different one at the same time.

His toothbrush clinked in the sink as Matteo brought his hand up to his face.

Brown eyes where he swore blue eyes once were, black hair where blond once grew. Staring at the mirror, Matteo could swear someone else was looking back

He pulled at his cheeks wondering why everything felt so unreal.

"Matteo!" his mother yelled again.

"Yes ma'am! Getting ready!" Matteo quickly responded.

Matteo's crisis could wait. Weird things or not, letting your mom think you're not listening to her wasn't a good idea.

"Hey honey, sleep well?" Matteo's mom asked as Matteo walked downstairs.

"Kind of," Matteo responded while putting a hand on his head.

"I'm sorry, but that's not going to get you out of going to school," Matteo's mom quickly responded.

"That wasn't what I was thinking at all," Matteo responded.

"Schools starting soon, remember to put Sugisawa Third into your phone," she reminded.

"Sugisawa Third?" Matteo repeated.

'That name' Matteo thought.

It was so familiar in two different ways. Matteo knew he was told about this school by his mother, but he also recognized the name from somewhere else.

"Is there something wrong?" Matteos' mom asked.

"Sorry, still waking up," Matteo responded trying to wave off his mother's worry.

"Understood, well I hope you wake up soon," his mother responded.

'That name, isn't that from Jujutsu Kaisen?' Mateo wondered, 'No, I must have watched that anime recently, I have stop mixing anime and reality'

Shaking his head, Matteo put in the name of the school into his phone.

Sitting on the train to his new school, Matteo was terrified.

Was it the new school getting to him? After all, making new friends could be a problem for a kid that's having trouble differentiating reality from fiction.

No, the reason for Matteo's fear had nothing to do with school.

It had everything to do with the five eyed, three mouthed, grey thing attached to the person sitting next to Matteo.

He was doing his best not to stare, it would be rude after all, but it was very hard to not look at it.

Matteo noticed that one of its five eyes were looking at him, though a few of the eyes were also looking at other people on the train.

'A curse? Am I going insane?' Matteo thought while putting his head in his hands, 'Did I hit my head in my sleep?'

Matteo tried to remember what he could have done to mess up his head.

But as looked deeper into his mind, he found his memory had doubled.

He knows he moved to Japan, but he remembered being born in both America and Italy. Matteo remembered watching shows that didn't exist, while living a life he never lived.

'Did someone lace my food?' Matteo wondered.

Suddenly, the train came to a halt.

'Oh' Matteo realized, 'It's my stop'

Getting off the train, Matteo took a second to turn around and look at the grey thing on the train.

Looking at it closer, Matteo couldn't see anything obviously fake about it. But, as Matteo looked, the grey thing noticed Matteo and put all five eyes on him.

Though before the grey thing could jump at Matteo, the train doors closed and the train sped along to the next station.

With his backpack slung on his shoulders Matteo walked his way to his new school.

'First things first I need to get a drug test' Matteo thought before entering the bounds of the new school.

As he walked into the school, he noticed a small commotion near the left side of the school.

"Come on sensei!" a girl yelled out, "For the safety of the school we need to go onto the rugby field!" she told the teacher.

"Absolutely not!" the teacher quickly responded, "The last people who played on the field were sent to the hospital!" the teacher said.

"But we're not here to play on the field," the girl whined.

"That's right!" one of the guys next to her said, "We're here for important research for the Occult Research Club," he loudly said.

"Your club does not have the necessary anything to do anything!" the teacher told the group of three.

"But sensei," a pink haired man said, "People could be hurt if we don't do anything!" he said.

"People are hurt! If you go in you could get hurt as well!" the teacher reminded.

As the conversation continued, Matteo simply looked at the pink haired kid.

'Yuji?' Matteo thought in astonishment.

It was him, in the flesh. Mr. Left Right Goodnight himself.

'I'm not sure if it drugs in my system or something more' Matteo thought with confusion.

"It's fine," the pink haired kid said putting a hand on both of the other kids' shoulders, "I'll hop the fence later," he whispered to his friends.

"What was that!" the teacher yelled out.

"Nothing sen-" the pink haired boy began to say.

But before he could finish his sentence, a hand reached out and covered his face from behind.

"I'll be dammed, you're real," Matteo said with a smile on his face.

"Of course?" Yuji Itadori replied.

"Sorry, just been a little out of it recently," Matteo replied taking his hand off of Yuji's face.

"It's fine," Yuji replied with a smile.

"Hey! what are you doing!" the teacher yelled at Matteo, "Are you also part of the club?" he asked.

"No, I'm actually new to the school" Matteo told the teacher.

"Oh your one of the new students are you?" the teacher responded, "You should go and head over to the councilors office," he explained.

"Why are you being so nice to the new kid instead of us?" the girl asked the teacher.

"Because the new kid's not trying to get himself injured!" the teacher yelled.

————————————————————————

It was his first class, and Matteo couldn't wipe his smile of his face. Not because he was happy, but due to him not exactly knowing what else to do.

Frankly, the whole Yuji and curse thing was doing quite a number on him. Matteo kept looking around the room wondering if he was either in another world or he was just going insane.

Eventually, Matteo arrived at where he was going. His first class, Algebra.

Sliding the door open Matteo looked around to see his new classmates.

"Hello Yuji!" Matteo greeted while walking over to the pink haired kid.

"Oh hey it's you, " Yuji said, "Did I tell you my name?" he then asked.

"Irrelevant," Matteo replied taking a seat next to Yuji.

"I guess so," Yuji mumbles, "So what's your name?" he asked in response.

"Matteo, Matteo Unmei," he replied with a smile.

Matteo Check Up.

 Where the hell am I? I hope this isn't some death delusion of my favorite anime. That would suck big time.
