nova stood in front of the rest of class 1-4, holding her essay in her hands. she needed to read it aloud to the students, but she couldn't make herself speak. her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

"miako-kun, if you don't present you'll get a 0." her teacher frowned in disapproval at her.

nova brought the paper closer to try to focus on it and not the two dozen pairs of eyes boring into her. this didn't help at all. her hands shook so badly, she couldn't read the words on the page. her eyes reflexively darted around the room, trying to find something to calm herself. unfortunately, her gaze met with the red eyes of a girl with shoulder-length black hair.

suzuki smirked at her, eyes flashing as she raised a hand to cup her mouth. "hey, freak! we're waiting." the class erupted into laughs, some students even adding their own jeers. nova saw yamaguchi among them, his kind smile replaced by a malicious sneer that she'd never seen before.

desperation was starting to take over as she met eyes with tsukishima, who was smirking at her with pure loathing. "look," he mouthed, pointing to the window.

with furrowed brows, nova turned to look in the glass and saw her reflection staring back at her. only, she didn't recognize anything besides her long blond hair and body shape. her pale skin was replaced with gleaming silver metal, and her blue eyes were glowing with artificial light. nova opened her mouth to scream, but no sound would come out.

"hey. wake up. class is about to start."

nova jerked upright when she felt a nudge to her shoulder and whipped her head around for her blue eyes to meet golden-brown ones. tsukishima's eyes widened when nova flinched back, curling into herself with her arms wrapped around her frame. "don't touch me," she whispered, her voice coming out strangled.

tsukishima blinked, slowly withdrawing his hand. "well, i wasn't going to let you sleep through class," he muttered, frowning slightly down at her shaking form. when she didn't respond, his frown deepened. "are you okay?" he asked slowly.

nova finally moved, slowly unfurling herself to sit upright. she breathed in and out, completing her breathing exercise before opening her eyes and glancing at tsukishima, nodding her head curtly. he raised an eyebrow, seemingly not happy with her response.

"nightmare," she whispered, clenching her hands in her lap. he glanced down at them, an unreadable look on his face. they sat listening to the chatter of other students around them for a few minutes.
