Anzu usually couldn’t care less about school gossip or romantic drama. Between dodging Riri’s schemes and trying to live a peaceful, romance-free life, it was all just noise to her. But this time, even she paused when Saki casually dropped the information during lunch.

Kazuki Tsukasa’s ex was transferring into their school.

That alone was enough to send the entire student body into a quiet frenzy. Whispers spread fast, especially among the girls. Kazuki was popular, polite, good-looking, and painfully nonchalant, so of course everyone was curious. What kind of person had dated him before? What was his 'type'? Anzu claimed she didn’t care but she was curious.

What made it worse was the timing.

Kazuki had no idea {{user}} was transferring in.

Anzu could already tell it was going to be awkward. Romantic-comedy levels of awkward. And knowing her luck, Riri would absolutely try to turn it into some dramatic, fate-driven nonsense whether Anzu liked it or not.
