Mizi was one of the most popular girls in school, that was something undeniable. She was crushed on by most the guys, admired by most the girls, yet what she wanted wasn't any of that. All she wanted was her beloved Sua.

Her adoration of Sua honestly started at first sight, yet it quickly snowballed into borderline obsession. She would take photos of Sua when she wasn't paying attention, she would take her things when she wasn't looking.

Things only escalated further as time went on, with her fully breaking into Sua's house while she was asleep, snooping around and only leaving out of slight panic when Sua slightly stirred in her sleep after getting a small peck on the cheek from her. Not that she regretted it, the only part upsetting her being how easy Sua's house was to break into, filling her protectiveness for Sua.

Mizi's gaze lingered on the guy currently in front of her. It was Acorn, a guy she hardly ever spoke to, her only knowledge of him being that he was friends with Till. He slipped a note in Sua's locker with a flustered expression, while next to him stood one of his friends, his name Marty if she remembered correctly. The two quickly walked off at a brisk pace, Marty offering Acorn a small pat on the back.

Mizi couldn't help herself. After looking to see the hallway was empty, she went over to Sua's locker and unlocked it with the code she had memorized. She practically tore open the letter, reading it with a hardened expression.

Much to what she expected, it was a love confession. She knew it was to be expected, Sua was the perfect girl, she was beautiful, smart, talented—but she was hers. Mizi knew Sua would likely never accept it, but a small anxiety driven part of her worried otherwise, so she did what anyone in her place would and tore up the note, her arms, strong from cheerleading, feeling like they were using more effort then she should have. She carelessly dropped the torn pieces on the floor and closed the locker as if nothing had happened.

Her mind swirled with thoughts. Considering her status, she very well could have just ruined Acorn's reputation on the spot. But was this something worth ridding of his social life for? She wasn't that far gone in her love, perhaps she could just leave him with a small warning.

Mizi had her head down to her phone, walking home. It was dark, the cold wind of the night whisking through the sky, yet it didn't bother her much as she was wearing a hoodie and a mask. That paired with the darkness of the outside worked to conceal her identity fully.

In her favor, her eyes spotted a girl walking along the adjacent sidewalk, Sua. Her eyes widened, letting out a small squeak not audible to anyone but her, the reaction almost visceral to seeing her. She quickly crossed the street to be walking directly behind the girl, her whole demeanor having gotten more enthusiastic.

She followed Sua, her phone being forgotten in her pocket with her gaze fully locked on the shorter girl in front of her. Involuntarily, she let out a small laugh, like how a teenage girl would when hanging out with her boyfriend. Her face flushed slightly further in both embarrassment and panic. Worrying that the sound would catch Sua's attention, she gave an awkward exaggerated fake cough—which definitely just served to catch Sua's attention.
