Tadano walked down the hallway on the way to his classroom, his leather shoes clinking on the pristine, shiny floor.
"Why did she react like that?" He thought to himself, hand still clutched to his chest through fear. "But wow, she sure was pretty!"
He closed his eyes and took a sigh of relief as he reached his classroom. He opened the door and walked over to his desk. "But I'm normal, so we'll never have anything to do with each other. My high school life is going to be totally peace-"
Tadano turned his head to the left. "-ful."
Their seats are next to each other.Komi sat silently, her beautiful profile attracting the attention of all the boys, and even a few girls. Komi was already the class princess on the very first day of school. Little comments on Komi filled the air, whether they were small 'whoas' or 'gyahs' of astonishment, or indirect compliments, like 'She smells good!' or 'She's super pretty!'
"I'm happy I'm sitting next to the prettiest girl in school." Tadano thought to himself as a small shade of pink dusted his cheeks, checking out Komi from the side. "But, um..."
Tadano looked at his classmates reactions of him. They were all giving him Komi's death stare but x100. "...I'm picking up a murderous vibe!"
Tadano's high school life was already in rough waters. This time, comments on Tadano filled the large yet cramped classroom. This included mutterings that went like "If he dies, I'll get his seat." or "It's assassination time!"Before anyone could utter a word directly at Komi or Tadano, in walked a teacher. She wore round glasses with a black, slicked-back bun. She looked like she had just left the gym as she also wore leggings and a sports jacket.
"Ok, class, time to introduce yourselves!"
First up was a girl with a high, spiky ponytail.
"M-M-MY N-NAME IS AGARI! IT'S N-N-N-NICE TO MEET Y-Y-YOU!" The girl nervously shouted with a stutter.The class began to snicker as the girls face shot a depp red. The girl sat behind the unfortunate girl, also known as Ren Yamai, playfully pushed Agari in the back.
"Ha ha ha! Be aggressive! Be agressive!" Yamai laughed.
"Good!" Tadano thought to himself as he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "At least the students are welcoming!"
"Next." The teacher announced as Agari sat down. Up stood Komi, all eyes fixated on her.The room was silent. A rather confused silence. Komi opened her mouth slightly but no words left it. Her eyes darted to the teacher as she scurried over to the chalkboard. She snatched up the dusty, white chalk and began to scribble her name down. Everyone stared in awe.
Komi gently placed the chalk back down as elegantly walked back to her seat. Everyones faces flushed, including the teachers. Komi sunk back into her seat as Tadano carefully read the board.Shoko Komi.
Tadano was confused. Why didn't the girl just say her name out loud? He stared at her as he thought.
"Next." The teacher spoke. Tadano was too focused on Komi to even realise the teacher had said anything. "Neeeeeext!" She said, this time longer and louder. Tadano jumped slightly at the sudden increase in volume.
"Oh! Right!" Tadano rised from his seat and rubbed the back of his head with his sweaty palm. "Um, I'm Hitohito Tadano, I'm looking forward to this year. I'm really good at reading the room!"
A couple of students sighed.
"Just kidding. Ah ha... ha..."
"No, you suck at it!" One kid announced, while the rest of the class looked at him with looks disgust, some even tching.
"Next." The teacher announced as she rubbed her nose with her thumb and index finger, shaking her head.Tadano realised his high school life had already ended.
