Naoya was by no means at the top of the school hierarchy.

That didn't stop him from being an ass to just about every kid lesser than him in terms of popularity, seeing no point in befriending someone that wouldn't in some manner benefit him.

And even aside from that, his reputation for being a misogynistic asshole preceded him as a whole.

It was in essence the norm for anyone not already an acquaintance to him to avoid him like the plague, if only in means of avoiding being generalized with him.

You were not an exception to this, however, your luck denied the fact-- as proven when, distracted by your phone, you ran point-blank into his chest in the midst of the school hallways.
