Rui POV

As I walked through the pristine white hallways, I received some suspicious and judging gazes from students. Everything was different, as it was a new year in a new school.

I gulped nervously, trying to act like I didn't notice or didn't care. There was a surprising number of people congregating in the area, chatting and giggling.

These students all look mean. I suppose it'd be best if I didn't associate myself with anyone here.

I didn't feel very welcome. Nobody talked directly to me besides a teacher or two, so I kept my mouth shut.

My head stayed down, and my view consisted of my lower body. Looking at my feet was a habit of mine, especially when in an area where I didn't want to talk to anybody.

While I made my way across campus, I heard a yell accompanied by some quick footsteps. "H-Hey!! Wait for me!" A voice sounded from behind me.

I didn't pay it any mind, as it had nothing to do with me. "Purple hair!" The same voice said.

Purple hair..? Are they talking to me? I paused and turned around.

A short blond boy was sprinting towards me with a worried expression. He was definitely in a rush.

When he reached me, his orange-yellow eyes looked very relieved, and he planted a kind smile on his lips.

"Hello! My name is Tenma Tsukasa, as you may know, and I've been told to teach you the ropes of this school." He excitedly stuck a hand out to shake mine.

This is... a suspiciously loud individual. I thought. Someone so confident in himself probably isn't going to be someone I'm compatible with.

I took his hand, and he shook it. His smile turned into a frown. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"...I figured you'd already know my name, considering you were told to assist me specifically." I raised a brow.

"Huh!? Well, of course, I know your name..! Just... Just tell me real quick, I promise I won't ask again!!" He spoke up.

I winced at his tone. Does he have to be this loud?

"Kamishiro Rui," I stated.

"Great! You're in class 2-B, right? I'll show you there." He released his grip on my hand and began walking off.

Without having any reason to deny it, I hesitantly followed him. I could imagine Tenma as a popular student due to his role-model personality.

Despite his short frame, his strides were long and confident. "I know what you must be thinking," he started, " I'm aware that I must be the most helpful individual you've ever met!"

That's not what I've been thinking.

"I'd like to reassure you that you're in great hands, and a star like me will make sure you have an amazing time here!"

I wanted to cover my ears. Something about this boy was incredibly obnoxious, but I was somehow drawn to his nature.

Some students to the side of us gave some gross sneers. "Of course, it's Tenma and the new student. A pair of freaks."

What the hell? I averted my gaze to the students, and they laughed. As they said this, I realized immediately that something was wrong about this school. I frowned and caught up with Tsukasa.
