I'm not a game | Kenma Kozume x Reader

Ice Princess

The morning brisk air fills your lungs while you walk towards Nekoma High. Your eyes lower to your new uniform. A white top, red bow with gold stripes, and a dark grey skirt. Pressing your lips together and furrowing your brows you feel the nervousness eat at you. You'll be attending as a second year in the middle of summer. Many friend groups have already formed the beginning of spring semester.

Will you be able to make any friends?

You're not the most approachable as of late. You're not the same girl as you were last year. The happy go lucky girl you grew accustomed to drifted the day you lost your mother. She was your sun. The one that kept your smile on your face when you felt lonely. You couldn't blame your father for your change since he's always working to provide for the both of you. But you'd wish you had more time with him. Your view on everything seems to have darken without your mother.

You lost your best friend-- your mother.

Kuroo's face travels it's way to your mind and you push him away. The day Kuroo, his father, and grandparents moved to Tokyo broke your heart. Kuroo was your only friend from your small little countryside. You didn't make any friends after his leave eight years ago. You then remember the cat like guy that stood next to Kuroo.

"Kozume Kenma, Kuroo's current best friend."

You recall Kozume's words. A grimace on your face. "His current best friend." The way Kozume said those words seemed like a jab towards you. You are unsure how to feel when you ponder on the thought. Pulling yourself out of your thoughts, you find your way to the staffs office to get your schedule. After receiving your schedule, you quietly follow behind your homeroom teacher. She smiles at you brightly and tells you to wait outside. "Just step in when I tell the class we have a new student, Y/L/N." She slides the door open and close. You slowly open and close your hands. Anxiety creeps from your toes up to your face.

Faintly you hear the teacher greet everyone. "Good morning class. I hope you've all finished your homework from yesterday?" You hear a few grunts and yes's. "I'll be picking those up after I introduce you to a new classmate. She just moved to Tokyo yesterday so I hope you all give her a warm welcome." The classroom sounds more lively with several hushed whispers. Taking a deep breath, you slide the door open to step inside. Your legs feel as if they're made of cement with each step you take towards the classroom.

Your eyes glance around the room and a familiar yet unfamiliar face catches your attention. Kozume is staring out of the window, his chin resting on his palm. Hiding your nervousness, you bow to the class.

"I'm Y/L/N Y/N, it's nice to meet you."

Hearing your name Kozume slowly turns his attention to you, the two of you sharing a glance. "If you'd like, can you take the seat next to Kozume?" The teacher looks over to the black to blonde haired student. You nod, slowly making your way over to the empty seat beside Kozume. You keep your eyes down, not wanting to look at anyone. Once you sit down, the anxiety from earlier seeps away. You quietly sigh under your breath.

Today is going to be a long one.
