Class ends and I pick up my belongings. I walk out of the door to be greeted by a dark-haired girl.
"Hi!" she said.

"Just joking around..." the boy—I'm assuming his name is Arlo—says.
The girl looks at me and smiles. "My name is Yuki Haruna!" she says. "We have first period together."

"Don't worry. He's just messing with you." Yuki said. "Years ago, a girl who sat in that desk committed suicide."
"Oh..." I said.
