Fallen star

The real me?

The story will come back since it may or not spoil things.

So rn you get my pulls😋
Oh no my bro going through 8th grade syndrome /j
Anyways my dude gonna lose the light in his eye.
--------------------------------------------------------

Once I get to class I normally help the teacher with preparing stuff.

"Thank you, Tenma."

"Nonsense! It's what any future star would do!"
"I hope you reach your dream. Class will start soon, so I would recommend sitting in your seat."

As I go to my seat I can hear students quickly running to class –and hear laughter..? Oh, how fun it must be. Unfortunately I have better things to worry about like my studies. My mom always said that my studies would be better instead of pursuing my "childish" dream. I wonder if it's my dream anymore.
Why am I like this? Why do I wanna be a star? Originally it was for Saki, but she has people to support her.

I don't need to be a star. It's not like anyone cares about me.

"Tenma!"

"Hm?"

"Can you answer the question, or not?"

"Oh, it's 748!"
"Yes, that is correct. Just don't zone out."

"Understood!"

"Does he really think he's good enough?"
"I bet he's lying about his sister."
"Who even loves him?"

Oh.

I should've known people don't like me. I'm just a noisy, loud, annoying, egotistical jerk. What's the point anymore? Saki and Toya have people. Toya has Akito, Kohane and An.
Saki has Ichika, Honami and Shiho; they don't need me. Everyone would be better off without me. I'm just a nobody.

Oh–the bell just rang.

I guess I was too caught up. The board looks easy to find out, anyway.

"Tenma!"

"Hm?"

"Is there something up? You're my best student. Council is open at any time."

"Oh, no! I'm just fine. There's nothing bothering the world's future star!"

"Okay. You can go to the council anytime, though."

"I will if I need to! Don't worry about me!"

I say as I quickly move. It's finally lunch. I normally go up to eat with Rui. Sometimes with Akito and Mizuki. Unfortunately, right now I don't have time. My dad yelled at me once for forgetting my studies, so it looks like I'm skipping lunch.

But it's all for a good cause right? After all, I can't just be a disappointment to my parents. I already am to the people around me.

I'll just go on my phone for 5 minutes...

Oh? Doesn't Emu know her?
Huh. Asahina Mafuyu. She looks nice.
But, that smile...

It feels strange.
Like my smile, fake.
..I'm probably overthinking.

"Fufu. Is that Tsukasa-kun~?"
