Capítulo IV- Un Estudiante de intercambio
Atsuki picked off the aqua-green nail polish at the rim of her skin and nails. No matter how hard she tried, nail polish seeped into the crevices. She waited for Gojou near the classrooms to tag along for today's lesson. He didn't tell her why, but he did tell her there was a cursed transfer student with him. She could hear their incoming voices blending in the wind. It wasn't enough to get the information she wanted though.
A boy in a white buttoned jacket tucked into his black pants stepped out behind Gojou's tall lanky-looking figure. His white shoes matched his jacket. The eye bags were visible from the side of his gloomy face and his lips were turned upside down unlike Gojou, whose usual bright optimistic smile was on his lips.
He was quick to spot Atsuki meters away. She didn't wear the school uniform he was instructed to wear. In fact, her choice of clothing was colorful and odd. Her puffy flared skirt was full of bright pink and blue tones and ended at her knees. Black tights covered her legs, meeting the purple heels on her feet. Her white shirt was tight on her upper torso almost like it was wrapped around it, and it puffed out at her shoulders with flared sleeves. Heart earrings dangled from her ears. The pigtail braids nearly blocked them.
The closer they got to Atsuki, the urge to run away rose in her. The hairs on her arms stood up from a new chilling presence. Her left foot was already twisted to make a run. She hadn't experienced a vile aura like this before, not even when her boss yelled at her. It must've been something related to the curse following the boy.
Face to face with Atsuki, Yuuta took notice of the two different eyeshadows packed onto her face, blue on her left and pink on her right, enhancing her purple irises. The eyeliner and fake lashes made her natural slender eye shape sharper, giving them an intimidating look without her smile. The golden highlighter applied to her cheekbones and the tip of her nose brought out the warmth to her brown skin. Her appearance frightened him as he took a step back.
"Okkutsu Yuuta, this is Sugiyama Atsuki. Don't be intimidated, she isn't as scary as she looks," Gojou ruffled the top of her head.
"Didn't I tell you to stop doing that," she pushed his hand away. She tugged the hair tie off her pigtails and ran a hand through her hair to flatten it.
"Oh, hello," Yuuta timidly said. "Are you a student, too?"
"No. Not yet at least," she replied, braiding the right section of her hair.
"Atsuki here is going to accompany us for today's lesson. She hasn't met the other first-years yet so I decided why not introduce yourself together to get rid of the nerves."
