Mushiki Irido P.O.V
It was a week ago since the incident at the restaurant and now it's time for the school year to start.
"You're uniform doesn't fit you, your tie is ugly on you, your shirt is dirty." Yume instantly started arguing with Mizuto as soon as he walked downstairs for god knows what reason and now they haven't stopped for five minutes.
"You too with your pleated skirt you should get the uniform changed so you look atleast decent."
Dear god. Why is just going to school this hard come on you two. They'll figure it out they're old enough
"Most schools use pleated skirts you know!"
"Doesn't change the fact you look like a fifth grader."
"Someone like you isn't even human..."
I got tired of their arguing and started to put my shoes on and got theirs out from the rack. They'll be fine, I need to do things so I won't be waiting on them.
I started my walk to school and got there in twenty or so minutes I noticed Chizuru was a bit farther than me. So I text her to turn around and made my way over to her.
"Yo, good tidings and mornings Izzy!" As I walked beside her I instantly got punched in the stomach.
"Ah sorry I thought you were a stalker or something." She apologized with such an unapologetic look it wasn't even funny.
"You treat your best friend so cruelly I might just cry you know?" I exaggeratedly wiped crocodile tears.
"You say that but it obviously didn't hurt, you'll be fine Shiki." She walked ahead of me and after I caught up we made it to school. We saw lots of families take pictures to commemorate the first day and Chizuru wasn't hiding her feelings well.
"Hey Chizuru come here for a second." Chizuru stopped walking and turned back around. I grabbed her and took a picture with the two of us and the school in the back. "Congrats on getting into Highschool Chizuru." I gave her a gentle smile and she blushed before pushing me away again.
"Shiki you shouldn't bother Chizuru so much. I'll call the cops on you." Behind us was Mizuto and Yume along with our parents. "Shut up stupid shut in. Well what's up?"
"Mushiki! Mushiki! You never told us you had a pretty girlfriend!" Miss Yuni started shaking me by the shoulders while Yume gave me a side eye. "Huh, no it's not like that. Well... i technically wouldn't be opposed~ ouch." Chizuru chopped me on the head shocking Miss Yuni and Yume while Mizuto and Dad were used to it by now.
"Don't mind him. But we're not dating just best friends, I'm Chizuru Ichinose it's a pleasure to meet you." She bowed and Miss Yuni started badgering her for more questions. "Tough luck huh?" Dad looked over at me as he said that getting a chuckle from Mizuto. "Shut up you two."

[Shiki] Chizuru what're your plans for lunch, it's the first day so you're free right?
[Chizuru]: I mean I guess? Why do you ask, it feels like you're going to invite all sorts of trouble...
[Shiki]: Oh cmon~ you know I'd never get into trouble!
Chizuru left my message and glared at me from the next seat over. We were in the same classroom and sat next to each other by some form of coincidence, and now we're just texting while most students left but those in clubs stayed.
[Chizuru]: I'll hit you.
She gave me another look and I instantly got to typing.
[Shiki]: Wait, I get it so don't look at me like that!
[Shiki]: I was just gonna ask if you were going to the drama club, I mean you want to be an actress right? I said I planned on doing it this year so I was gonna ask if you wanted to go together? You didn't go last year right?
She left it on read for a few seconds without typing so I looked up and saw her staring at her phone screen motionless.
I stood up and hit her on the head catching a few people off guard although not even more than four. She instinctively held her head and muttered an ouch and glared me.
"Hey, what was that for-" I cut her off.
"It's fine to do things you know. Let's go Izzy." I grabbed her by the hand and dragged her out the classroom without looking at her. She ended up kicking me a few times on the way but soft enough to tell she wasn't angry this time.

"Hey... can you let me go now!?" I realized I was still holding her hand. I held it up and shook it around moving her around, to be honest it was kind of fun until she started to dig her nails into me. "Squeeze." She said in a cold tone as she squeezed slowly digging her nails into my skin, plus she was already heavy handed so it hurt on its own.
"Ow ow ow ow, alright I get it you win Miss Chizuru! Ouch! Hey I'll treat you to some ice cream, you like it right?!" I was on my knees flenching my hand as she stared at me with a cold expression before she instantly let go with a better mood. "Don't try to cheat and get a small." I jumped since that was exactly what I was planning. "Yes ma'am..."
Once we stopped joking around and turned to the door again we noticed three people watching us from the door. We were in the second building on the third floor where the Drama and Acting Club is, I only knew because Chizuru mentioned it in passing.
"You two... are you dating or what?" A short girl with brown hair tied in a ponytail asked.
"Actually we-!"
"We are not!" Chizuru cut me off with a punch in the gut.
"That's rude Chizuru, you should give me a kiss on my boo-boo~" I started teasing her again and she was getting embarrassed making me enjoy it more.
"You... I won't forget this Mushiki." She gave me a cold glare and called me by my full name, she was seriously serious this time!
"Um... we're you two interested in being members or something? If so that's be helpful but otherwise you're kind of bothering us..." a tall guy around six foot spoke next making me actually get serious, I don't like bothering others. Except Chizuru of course.
"Yeah that's what we came to do, think we can do it?" The brown haired girl made a thinking position then looked like a light went off in her head.
"You can we were short on members anyway! Plus you're both good looking, although white is a strange color so in the industry you'd get carried by your looks anyway~." She just said something it was hard to take as praise...
"Uh, thank you? But we don't need to do anything to get in or anything?" Chizuru was just as shocked as I am.
"Nu uh, we're too short staffed to be picky to be honest... but we're kind of busy right now like Ouka said so come back in a few days!" The short girl closed the door in our face.
"So we got in?..."
"I guess? So what now Izzy?" She slammed her heel on my foot with a serious look.
"Ice cream!" Jeez she's so bossy...
