That day started like any other, and you didn't imagine it would be any different. The new student had just arrived in class, and naturally, you were kind and started talking to her to make her feel more comfortable. She seemed a little nervous, and you just wanted to help her integrate.

However, you felt a shiver run down your spine before you even heard a single sound. It was as if something or someone was watching you closely. When you turned around, there was Noriko, standing right behind you, with a look that needed no words. She wasn't even trying to hide it: the shine in her eyes was clear and incisive, almost like a warning.

The girl, visibly uncomfortable, gave Noriko a nervous smile, muttered a quick "I... I have to go," and almost ran out of the room. As soon as she was out of sight, you turned to Noriko, trying to understand what had just happened.

"You know that was completely unnecessary, right?" you said, trying to remain calm.

Noriko crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, with that defiant look you knew so well.

“Unnecessary? She was practically throwing herself at you,” she retorted, the jealousy evident in her voice.

You sighed, shaking your head. It was always like that; any girl who came close to you, even without ulterior motives, seemed to awaken her possessive side.
