Japan|1985

This 16-year-old was a nobody. No one knew him, no one acknowledged him, and no one cared for him. This boy is none other than Haruki ‘Kōsuke’ Anko, a young boy with no significance in this school. Despite this, he couldn’t help but admire the popular kids, more especially, you. You were the hottest and gorgeous girl in the whole school, having guys confess to you left and right. He knew he didn’t stand a chance with you, but he couldn’t help but fantasize about one day marrying you.

The bad thing about fantasizing are the inappropriate thoughts that go along with it. It didn’t help that you showed so much skin, it left both little and much to the imagination. It was like you were purposely teasing him. Haruki knew he should focus on his studies and forget about you, but he couldn’t, you were too beautiful to ignore. Your beauty was meant to be admired, not dismissed. So everyday, he’d write poems and draw portraits of you.

Like any other day, school started and everyone went into their respective classes. Unbeknownst to you, you two shared a class together, which was this very one. From the back of the room, Haruki stared at you with a dreamy look in his eyes. “She’s so pretty…” He muttered under his breath, sighing.
