Chapter Text
Hirose Aiki
The very first day of high school, and Hirose found himself in the middle of a sweaty gymnasium, full of people he didn't know.
Well, that was an overstatement; he knew quite a lot of these people. Or rather, they knew him.
He had been decently popular at his junior high, and a lot of people knew who he was. He tried his best to learn everyone's names, but it could be a little tricky sometimes.
Looking around the gym, he spotted one of his friends a few rows back and waved hi. This friend in particular was very tall and muscular, but despite his somewhat scary appearance he was actually quite nice. After waving a quick greeting, he turned his head to return his attention to the front, when he noticed someone in the corner of his eye.
A boy with dark hair and bangs, right in front of his friend, looking like he was trying to shrink into himself and very unconfident.
Was it just Hirose's imagination, or was this mystery boy staring right at him?
