During break time, Miyamura got up to use the restroom. While doing so, he dropped something shiny out of his pocket. I look down and pick it up.

A chain? What's he doing with this?

I stuffed it in my pocket and waited for a moment to give it back to him.

When everyone came back from break and sat down, it was now time to elect the class representatives.

"Alright everyone. Who would like to be the class rep?" asked Mrs. Fujikawa.

In the back of the class a small voice was heard, "How about Sengoku?" Sengoku flinched at the yell of his name and shook his head profusely.

"I'm not cut out for a position like that..." he protested. The other kids in the class saw the opportunity and took it.

"Yeah! Let's make Sengoku the rep!" More and more students agreed and eventually, Sengoku was now at the front of the room. Mrs Fujikawa asked Sengoku to pick a back up rep in case he cannot perform his duties. He looked around the room and everyone had immediately averted their gaze. All accept Kouno. Even if everyone was attentive and ready, he still would've picked either Kouno or Ayasaki.

Sengoku stayed at the front of the room as we changed subjects. "Now it's time to assign cleaning duty for the week. Since you guys are already in pairs, let's pick a pair." She surveyed the room for potential victims and finally stopped as yours truly.

"Y/N! As your first Japanese high school experience, why don't we let you guys clean first." I laughed awkwardly as the rest of my classmates chuckled amongst themselves. Miyamura was not phased.

"Well that's all for today everybody. Sengoku, please lead the class."

My questions were soon answered when Sengoku ordered everyone to stand up. We did as we were told. Then in unison, everyone thanks Mrs. Fujikawa for teaching them.

Immediately after everyone started to pack up their things and leave. Unlike them, Miyamura and I took our sweet time. Miyamura went to the board to start cleaning off the board and I moved the desks to begin sweeping and mopping the floor.

Miyamura moves on to empty the trash cans. Before he leaves, I take this opportunity to ask him about his chain.

I remove it from my pocket and show it to him. "Hey Miyamura? You dropped this early when you went to the bathroom."

He looks down and pats his pants pockets, checking the authenticity of my claim. He swiftly takes it back and stuffs it into his pocket.

"That's a really pretty chain you have there. Can you tell me what it's for?" I can tell from his pained expression that he was reluctant to tell me. I reassure him that he doesn't have to tell me but stops me in my tracks.

"No no.. I'll show you. You just have to promise not to tell anybody." I nod, the curiosity almost overflowing. Miyamura moves back his black hair and reveals his right ear. This one in particular had four piercings. I don't know why he's so secretive about this. This is honestly so cool!

"Miyamura! That's so cool what? I want more piercings so badly for real. I'm so jealous like oh my god what?" Without realizing, I had said all that in English.

I clear my throat and apologize. "I'm sorry you're just so cool," I explained. "I got excited is all. My bad." For the first time, I saw Miyamura smile.

"I promise to keep your secret. After all, we're seat buddies now."

Miyamura chuckled. "Yeah. I guess we are." At that moment, Hori came around to see if we could walk home together.

"Sorry. I just got assigned to cleaning duty." Hori groaned but quickly got over it. She peered over my shoulder and saw Miyamura who was now actually cleaning the trash.

"Who's that?" she asked.

"Oh that's Miyamura. He's my desk mate so we were paired for cleaning."

Hori sizes him up. "I see...Well I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah I'll see you! As I go in for a hug, Hori suavely moves out of the way. It looked almost natural and yet it confused me.

Miyamura had finished what he had to do and so did I so we parted ways. He ended up leaving first as I got my things together. I can't help thinking about everything that's happened. I'm finally on good terms with Miyamura and I think I have a pretty secure friend group going. I honestly couldn't stand another day of that. It's so embarrassing to sit next to someone and act like they don't exist. I don't know how Miyamura did it. What irks me the most is how Hori seems to be avoiding me? I mean I guess I can't call it avoiding but she's being weird about me touching her and what not. From prior events you'd think we'd be fine with that but am I overstepping boundaries? I guess I'll just see how things play out later on.
