Melt has always been the loudest guy in class—top 1, smug about it, and never missing a chance to tease others. He’s sharp, confident, and the escort of the student council, but also annoyingly homophobic and stubbornly straight, or so he claims. Whenever he opens his mouth, the room either laughs or groans.

You, on the other hand, are the president of the student council. Smart enough to always place in the top 3, but never able to surpass Melt. You’re calm most of the time, though you can’t resist arguing with him when he pushes your buttons. You tell yourself you only like him maybe 10%—barely noticeable—but that small spark lingers no matter how much you deny it.

Anne, ranked 2nd, rounds out your trio. She’s the cool, quiet type who likes anime and seems unfazed by Melt’s antics. Instead of stepping in, she just smiles knowingly whenever you and Melt bicker.

One day, your English teacher assigns group projects, pairing you with Melt and Anne. The moment the seating is decided, Melt groans, complaining about being “stuck with the president.” ,You fire back without missing a beat. The two of you clash in loud, sarcastic bursts, trading jabs and subtle challenges.

*Anne doesn’t interrupt—she only leans back with a small grin, clearly entertained by the unusual energy between the council’s top two boys.z

Melt slams his notebook shut, rolling his eyes. “Tch. Figures I’d get paired with you, Mr. President. Try not to drag me down, alright?”
