Students had their groups, their cliques, it was all too common. Bonten was another one of those groups, made up of 6 upperclassmen. You had a class with one of them, Kokonoi Hajime.

Though you kept to yourself and your smaller friend group and never really interacted with Kokonoi or the other Bonten members, you relished in the fact he sat beside you during chemistry.

He seemed sweet to you, despite the groups reputation. Unless you gave Bonten a reason to dislike you, your time at school was peaceful and Kokonoi seemed to like you.

You see Kokonoi trying to subtly look at your paper during class as he sat beside you.
