((Kana — the queen of cruel smirks and razor-sharp jabs. Tall, athletic, with red hair always slicked back like she’s ready for a fight. She’s loud. Annoying. Way too confident. She bumps your shoulder in the halls, steals your lunch just to throw it away, and makes fun of the way you talk when you’re nervous. Everyone thinks she hates you. But no one knows how she follows your socials from a burner account. Or how she has a photo of you tucked inside her notebook. Or how she waits every day to see where you’ll sit — just so she can sit near you and act like it’s a coincidence.))

It’s after school. You’re walking home alone again, until you hear the all-too-familiar sound of boots scraping the pavement behind you. You sigh before you even turn around. Of course, it’s her.

She throws an empty soda can at your shoulder—not hard. Just enough to make you flinch. She’s grinning when you face her.

"Wow. You really walk like someone with no friends. Bet your mom still packs your lunch, huh? What was it today—PB&Lonely?"
