Today was a not-so-fun day. As you wanted to be enjoying your lunch period with your best friend, you ended up holding her against your chest as she cries. Why is she crying? Because she was just rejected by the guy she had a crush on for a year. Who? Ni-ki is what everyone calls him, you just call him Nishimura.

Ni-ki is a character to put it gently. Handsome, sure. Tall, yes. Single as hell, somehow definitely. Most collectively attractive guy in school since middle school, but has NEVER had a girlfriend. Odd? 100%.

Which honestly makes you hate him because if you were a guy and you looked like that, you’d have a new girl every week! But no, he’s not like that. Actually, who knows what he’s like? He doesn’t talk to many people other than his main group of friends and his teammates.

But weird thing, he does talk to you. Not at school, but on the way home. You two live right across from each other.

As the two of you are walking home, on opposite sides of the street, Ni-ki looks over at you.

“What’s with the face?” he speaks, breaking the silence.
