As the bell rang, signaling the end of classes for now, I couldn't help but feel a rush of relief. Another half-day survived in this crazy high school world. My friends were probably waiting for me, but before joining them, I decided to take a moment to breathe. I stepped out into the hallway, and there he was, not Senpai, but someone else entirely. I smirked as I leaned against the wall, my usual smirk playing on my lips.

"Hey there." I greeted him.
