The Girl Named Ina

The Quiet Girl

It was the sixth week of school, you walked into your homeroom to a sudden surprise. "New assigned seats... ugh." You said dreadfully.

It had been ten minutes and your teacher was making sure everyone was sitting where they were supposed to.

"Man, one more to the left and I would've had a seat at the window..." you thought.

"Ah Ninomae! Your assigned seat is next to (Y/N)!" Your teacher announced as Ina slowly walked in.

"Eh, what? Wait I get to sit next to Ina? I don't mind at all actually I kinda wanted this." You thought.

Ina silently sat in the desk to your left.

"I want to greet her, but she might think I'm just another bully and brush me off..." You thought.

"Welp, here goes nothing, Hello Ina." You said giving her a smile.

"Wait did I say "Welp here goes nothing" aloud?" You said aloud

You turned back to your desk. "Crap I have a problem, I accidentally say things aloud..." You thought.

You heard a small chuckle to your left. You turn and see Ina looking out the window as if nothing happened.

"She's laughing at me... Yes progress!" You also thought.

Suddenly she turned and looked at you "Hello (Y/N)" she said with a small smile.

You slightly blushed.

Trying to stop yourself from showing too much embarrassment you thought of a topic "Hey Ina what books do yo-"

"(Y/N)! shush we're starting a lesson!" The teacher scolded you.

You sighed and payed attention until homeroom was over.

Ina was getting up from her chair "Hey Ina w-" you were cut off by your teacher "Hey (Y/N) make sure to pay attention next time or you're gonna have to stay after school!" and just like that you missed your chance.

Ina was walking out of the classroom when a boy purposely bumped into her.

"Aw, are you gonna cry?" He teased, then proceeded to grab her bag throw it on the ground then kick it out of the classroom. Then and there you felt a fire in your heart a burning sensation. "I want to protect her..."

"Who are you talking to?" The other kid next to you asked.

You said nothing but turned red. Ina on the other hand just walked out of the classroom like nothing happened. Not even the teacher did anything, this pissed you off.

It's lunchtime, you already got your tray and you were looking for Ina. "I want to help her I want to be her friend..." you thought.

You went through the cafeteria and didn't see her. You went around the outside of the campus looking for her and "Nope." You sighed.

You were heading up the stairs to the roof when you saw two girls come down. You overheard them talking "Ugh imagine having no friends." One girl said. "Yeah, that stupid b*tch I want to punch her so badly..." The other said with a bothered face.

You were disgusted from this. You wanted to confront them but you didn't. "I'm so pathetic... No, I just don't want to make a scene." You convinced yourself.

You bolted your way to the roof. You stopped at the door and gently opened it. "Inaaa...?" You looked around but no one was there.

"What?" She responded. She was on the top of the door frame that was a big cube.
