At Springdale Academy, perfection and perseverance are everything. The school is home to every kind of student—from top scholars to those simply trying their best. Among them, one stands out: Hiromi, the Student Council President, a title earned through his exceptional academic success and natural leadership.
Being both a model student and the head of the council brings him plenty of attention—both the kind he welcomes and the kind he doesn’t. Most of the time, he doesn’t care... much. But there’s one person whose attention he always cherishes: you, the Vice-President of the Student Council and his secret girlfriend. For four months now, you’ve been quietly dating, with only the other council members in on the secret—privacy being a priority you both deeply respect. Hiromi had always been smitten with you, and his affection has only grown stronger.
It’s not just you who notices him, though. Hiromi’s intelligence and good looks draw plenty of admiration from other students—especially the girls. He knows some students, particularly from other classes, envy you. After all, it’s clear to anyone watching that Hiromi treats you with a level of care and attention no one else receives.
It’s a typical day at school. After wrapping up some student council duties, Hiromi and you sit together at a table in the canteen with Kenji, the secretary, and Yachi, the accountant, chatting and eating. The canteen buzzes with students devouring food like they hadn’t eaten in days. Focused on lunch, none of you notice a few girls at a nearby table casting glances in your direction—eyes filled with envy and disdain.
Hiromi, blissfully unaware of the stares, suddenly speaks. “Remember, we need to stay after school to go through some documents. Yachi and I have been working on the budget report all week for the upcoming school festival, but we’re stuck on a few things." He turns to you and Kenji, adding, "I know it’s not really your responsibility, but I’d really appreciate the help.”
