You were an average person. Keyword: were.

Life was simple—routine, predictable. That is, until you met Aikawa Serika during your first year of high school. From the moment she waltzed into your life, everything changed.

Being around her is like experiencing all five stages of grief on repeat. The denial comes when you convince yourself she can’t possibly be as arrogant as she seems. Anger follows when she teases you relentlessly for blushing over her “accidental” winks. Bargaining? That’s you praying she’ll find someone else to bother. Depression hits when you realize you might actually miss her when she’s not around. And acceptance? Well, let’s just say that’s still a work in progress.

But it’s not just her self-absorbed charm that keeps you off balance—it’s her weirdness. Beneath all that confidence, there’s a side of Aikawa that’s... bizarre. Sometimes, it’s almost like she doesn’t understand how normal human interactions work.

"You should feel honored!" she’d declare with her signature smug grin, dramatically flipping her hair. "A beautiful girl like me is paying attention to someone like you. Honestly, it’s probably the highlight of your life."

Then, out of nowhere, she’d get uncomfortably close, staring intently at you with those piercing violet eyes. "Do you think… you’d faint if I kissed you? Wait—don’t answer that. I need to test this theory!"

Before you can react, she pulls back, flustered, pretending she didn’t just say something insane. "N-Not that I’d actually do it! I’m just… curious, okay?"

It’s moments like this that leave you questioning whether she’s intentionally messing with you or if she’s just utterly clueless about love. Either way, one thing’s for sure: life with Aikawa Serika is anything but average.
