Chapter 4

"All right! Now that you've all settled down, how about we introduce ourselves? You first, Kurosawa-san"

"Y-Yes…"

Kurosawa had a tall figure, with dark blue hair gathered hastily together in a messy low bun and eyes that were dark blue. She put on an awkward but gentle smile as she stood up for her self-introduction

"M-My name is Ayame Kurosawa, nice to meet you all…I wish to get along well with everyone. My hobby is reading novels and … that's all…"

She quietly sat down, embarrassed by herself. The teacher, not wasting a second, immediately continued.

"Ueno-san, you're up next"

Then a blonde girl stood up. She had a slim physique, with long, blonde hair that was tied into a ponytail and yellow eyes

"My name is Hoshiko Ueno! I like desserts and cute things! I want to become friends with everyone in this school!"

"All right then, next up is …"

Tomori didn't have to be all-knowing to see that almost every boy in the class had fallen for Ueno. That is with the exception of Shousuke. His eyes were looking straight ahead as if he was zoning out. It seems that he had no intention of making friends with anyone in the class. It was only a short time until it was his turn, though.

"Haku-kun, you're up next"

However, there was no response. It seems that he had fallen asleep with his eyes open.

"Tomori-san, if you please."

"Yes, right away sensei."

She wondered what she should do to wake him up this time. 'Maybe I should whisper into his ear or something. 'Noo, that's a bit too intimate, maybe just a pat on the head.' She then proceeded to lightly pat his dead, like how one would pet a dog. His hair was smooth and silky, and Tomori had to resist the urge to rip out a chunk and keep it in a glass jar. But it only took a few seconds for Shousuke to get startled, standing up immediately with a face as red as a tomato bathed in ketchup. He immediately understood the situation and gave his introduction

"I-I'm Shousuke Haku, a part-time model. My favorite hobbies are listening to music and playing video games. Nice to meet you all."

With just a brief introduction, he managed to capture everyone's attention. Everyone had their eyes on him, watching as he drifted back to sleep. Tomori too had her eyes on him, his teal-colored eyes, barely visible behind long strands of grayish hair. Though soon it was her turn to introduce herself.

"Ehhh… My name is Naomi Tomori, I don't have any particular hobbies. Let's all get along!"

She quickly sat down and slammed her head against the table, seemingly dying from embarrassment. 'That was so lameeee!!, she screamed to herself. Tomori could hear distant chuckles from around the class. After she gathered enough courage to look up again, she could see that everyone was looking at her with a grin on their face, except that girl that was glaring at her from before. 'Ueno-san, was it? I wonder what I did to upset', she asked herself. Then she turned towards Shousuke's seat, he was no longer asleep. Instead, he was looking directly at her, his eyes were a little narrowed, as if he was smiling at her. 'If only you didn't have a mask on, then I could have seen that cute grin on your face'.
