Year 20XX at a local private highschool in Shibuya. We already know who's going to take part in this... The shy nerd and the billionaire ba-

Stop, that's not what this story is revolving around. Actually, let's be a little original! How about placing a silly little rebel in here?

The wind blew into the rebel's face as she stepped onto the rooftop. Finally, fresh air... skipping home economics was definitely better than being glued to your seat.
Naima hated school. Not like most people do... she actually got away with attempting to burn it. And the one who helped was...

"Tia, there you are."
The redhead was leaning against the fence, blowing out a puff of smoke. Tia stood out a little more than others; she had heterochromia and was some sort of an "attractive badass" amongst the male students.
"Home economics, right?" "You memorized my schedule better than I did, huh? You gay or something?" "I hate your logic." "Jerk." Naima leaned against the chain link fence, right next to her friend. "What are you skipping again?" "Maths." "Isn't that essential for the final exams..." "It's definitely not essential for my mental health." "... true."

It was a typical monday. Naima would skip some lessons and hang out with Tia.
The two met when the rebel wanted to burn down the school - what a coincidence, Tia had attempted the same!
"Say, do you have transfer students too?" "Huhh... no, why?" "Well, in my class there are like four new faces... All boys, too." "Ewwww..." "At least I can let my charme play."

Tia unbuttoned her blouse at the top. "You're a really weird dumbass, y'know?" "Not everyone has parents who allow them everything. So I gotta let a degenerate pay for me. Ugh... I hope he doesn't kiss me." "Boys are the weirdest fuckheads sometimes. All they think about is sex... and such..." Naima looked down to the yard. "Oh, look! Your class is on the track!" "I hate P.E." "Who doesn't, actually."

The two exchanged some more words, then Tia decided to go home. Well, skipping on the roof sometimes doesn't have the essence.
Naima sighed. She could go aswell...

The rebel sat down on the tiled floor and let the wind do its things. Skipping was the only way she could relax after long days... Well, basically everyday. Why don't you go downstairs and head back to your residence? What is holding you back?
Then, she heard a slight creak. Uh oh, the door's opening...

Then she saw someone pretty unfamiliar. Aw damn, a snitch. "Hey, what are you doing here??" Naima immediately got up, ready to charge at the girl when she'd run.
"Relax, I'm not going to tell you to the principal. I'm not a snitch, you know... Actually, I think I've lost the way to my classroom." "Ha? Did a pigeon shit in your head or something?" "Nope, I'm just lost. Might aswell skip... Can I join you?"
Naima raised an eyebrow. "And you're sure you're telling nothing to the authorities?" "I swear on God." "Okay then." The rebel sat down again, followed by the seemingly-not-snitch.

"So, what's your name?" "You first." "No, you." "Why me?" "The host needs to be known first." "Okay, okay... ugh... I'm Naima." "That's a pretty cool name... I'm Merry." "No way." "Yes way. And no, don't do that Merry Christmas joke... I've heard enough of it." Merry sighed, Naima grinned. "Thanks for exposing your weakness first." "Huh, weakness?" "Yeah? It annoys you, so it's a weakness!" "If you say so... Do you have any weaknesses?" "Nope! I'm the one who has no weakness!" "You sure?" "I'm sure!" "Well... What if I..."

Merry leaned a bit foward, closer to the rebel. "Hey! Don't invade my private space! You gay or something?" "Actually, yes. Is that your weakness? Being gay with the girls?" "WHAT- No!!!!! Stop-! I'm not gay, you are!" Naima gave her a hit at the shoulder. "Aw, damn, strong-" "If you bark at the wolf, it'll bite you." She scoffed. "Alllright, I understand. Guess I need to tame the wolf first..." "Uh-huh! Wait- what?"

And with that, Naima gained a new friend. Merry joined the team! + 50 ATK!
The two girls exchanged a few more words, getting to know each other. Soon enough, the sun was setting a little.
"Agh, we spent the whole day here...!" "It was fun though, wasn't it?" "Mm... Actually..." "Come on Naima, don't lie to yourself." Merry got up and extended a hand towards the rebel to pull her up. Then she went towards the door. "Do you want to meet again, tomorrow? I mean... I can bring a friend... and such..."

Merry smiled. "You bet." Then she left the roof, leaving Naima alone in the sunset.
