I walked around the campus, casually exploring the clubs that caught my eye.

"Oh my gosh, hey!!" A girl with twin drills in her hair waved excitedly at me, approaching slowly.

"I'm Kokona!! You're the new girl, right?" she asked with a bright smile. I nodded in confirmation, and she squealed.

"Oh my gosh!! You're so gorgeous!! What's your hair routine?" she asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

"I, uh..." I felt a little overwhelmed and scratched my arm nervously, trying to hide my discomfort.

"I don't actually have one," I admitted. She bombarded me with more questions, and I answered each one the best I could.

"That's so cool!! Do you wanna be friends?" she asked, her cheeks lifting into a warm smile as she eagerly awaited my response.

"I'd love to," I said, smiling back. She squealed again, pulling me into a tight hug. I felt the warmth of my new friend as I returned the soft embrace.

Kokona and I were walking down the hallway, chatting away, when suddenly a turquoise-haired girl stepped right in between us.

"Oh hey, Kokona—oh my gosh, did you hear about the new students? I heard they're pretty cute!"

she rambled on, gossiping about me and Judo. 'Wow, people are already talking about us?' I thought.

"Wow, really?" I asked, feigning surprise.

She turned to face me. "Yeah!! W-wait, I haven't seen you around before—oh." Her realization hit her, and a blush quickly spread across her face.

"Hey, are you okay?" I snapped my fingers in front of her face, trying to snap her back to reality.

"O-oh! Uh, hi!! My name's Saki..." she stuttered, pausing for a moment before meeting my eyes.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Y/N L/N," I said, waving happily. I was excited to meet yet another new person.

The bell rang, signaling the start of class. "Well, it was nice meeting you both. Hopefully, we get to hang out later," I said, then walked away, leaving Kokona and Saki alone together.

I caught up with Ayato, eagerly blabbering about the new people I met, but he gave me a look like he couldn’t care less.

"I met these two girls—they're really pretty—" I started, but he covered his ears, clearly not wanting to hear more.

"Fine," I muttered, turning to look to my other side. I locked eyes with... what was his name again? The carrot-head guy.

He widened his eyes in surprise, then quickly looked away.

"Hey, are you still joining us for lunch?" I asked him, while Ayato shot me a glare, sweat visibly dripping down my jawline as he tried to ignore the intense stare of the black-haired boy.

"W-Well if Taeko wants me to be there," the carrot head stuttered. Clearly, Ayato didn't want him there by the look on his face.

"Osano! , Y/N! No talking in my class!" The teacher growled. We went back to focusing on the teacher.

Soon after, the bell rung ends our first lesson. I left the classroom with the two idiots.

"Well... Did anyone pack any bento?" My stomach grumbled quietly . "I guess I have an extra one." Osano huffed, sounding a bit annoyed.

He handed me the extra bento, and I took it from him gratefully. I opened it , and he made it perfectly.

"Woah, you decorated it so cutely!! " I grabbed a pair of chopsticks,I carefully picked up a portion of rice with my chopsticks and brought it to my mouth, savouring the flavour.

I took a bite, and the flavour was so delicious that I couldn’t resist wanting more, but I forced myself to wait.

Me, Ayato, and Osano made our way to the top of the school, where Taeko was waiting for us.

"Took you long enough!" Taeko joked, making both Ayato and Osano blush as she giggled. 'She must have a whole harem,' I thought to myself. The four of us chatted for a while, enjoying the moment.

"Hey, Y/N, are you in a club yet?" Taeko asked, her curiosity piqued.

"No, I'm still looking around," I said, my mouth fulled with food, as I used my free hand to rub the back of my neck.

"Oh, that's right, you're new... well, if you don't join a club in time, you’ll get in trouble. But I’m not in a club either, so we’ll probably both end up in trouble," she explained with a laugh.

"Let's look around together!" Taeko suggested, making me nod in agreement.

"Sure, why not... How about we bring Ayato?" There was a spark of hope in his eyes as I mentioned his name.

"H-huh! Then I'm coming too!" Osano declared, his enthusiasm only serving to irritate Ayato.

"Alright, let's go then," I said as we set off. Taeko and I explored all the clubs that were open, while Osano and Ayato exchanged glares, their silent rivalry palpable.

"None of these really seem to match my interests..." Taeko sighed, and Ayato gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, senpai, you'll find one eventually!" He forced a smile, trying to sound encouraging.

"Thank you, Ayato-kun." Ayato's face flushed, and I could see the fiery intensity burning in Osano's eyes as he watched them.

A notification buzzed on my phone. "Hold on, guys, it might be my brother!" I froze in my tracks and quickly walked to a quieter spot.

**UNKNOWN** 
Hello, Y/N.

**YOU** 
Who is this?

**UNKNOWN** 
That doesn’t matter for now.

**YOU** 
What do you want?

**UNKNOWN** 
I have a task for you.

**YOU** 
What kind of task?

**UNKNOWN** 
I need you to kill Inkyu Basu.

**YOU** 

**UNKNOWN** 
If you don’t… expect consequences.

**YOU** 
For what? For refusing? 
...Fine, I’ll do it.

**UNKNOWN** 
Excellent. 
Be careful—she always hangs out with her sister. You’ll need to distract her.

**YOU** 
Can I at least know your name?

**UNKNOWN** 
You can call me Info Kun. 

I powered off my phone. *Who the heck is this guy?* I spent the rest of the day worrying about what he'd meant.

Just then, Judo came up behind me, wrapping me in a playful hug.

"How’s it going, rat?" He ruffled my hair, oblivious to the storm of thoughts racing through my mind.

"I've been better without you here!" I chuckled shoving him away.

"Oh come on I'm not that bad!!" He laughs, dusting himself off.

I made my way back to Taeko, Ayato, and Osano, only to find Osano and Ayato locked in a fierce staring contest.

"What’s going on with those two?" I asked, gesturing to them.

"They started arguing," Taeko said with a small laugh. Ayato's cheeks reddened as he heard her chuckle.

*Time skip.*

Later, as the day came to an end, I caught up with Osano. "Where’s Taeko?" I looked around, noticing her absence.

"She left... with Ayato," he replied, clearly trying to mask a hint of jealousy.

"Uh-oh, someone's jealous," I teased, nudging him playfully. He denied it all the way home, but I couldn't resist.

"Come on, admit it~" I giggled, enjoying his flustered reaction.

3RD PERSON

As you and Osano passed his house, he stayed silent, not saying anything. Before long, you both arrived at your place.

"Thanks for walking me home," you said with a smile. A subtle blush colored his cheeks. "It’s nothing," he replied, crossing his arms.

"See you tomorrow," you said, giving him a wave before closing the door behind you.
