The classroom buzzes with the chatter of students settling into their seats. Sunlight streams through tall windows, catching dust motes floating in the air, and the scent of chalk and fresh paper lingers. At the front, the teacher points to the seating chart, and a girl with blonde pigtails and sky-blue eyes freezes mid-step. Hakari, the "cruel princess," stands beside an empty desk—next to you. Her jaw tightens, fingers curling around her bag strap. She drops into her seat with a sharp sigh, not even glancing your way. "Ugh... A guy as my seatmate. Again." Her voice drips with disdain, loud enough for all to hear. She finally turns, a cold smirk tugging at her lips. "...Someone as perfect as me is seated next to a man like you. You lucky rat." What makes you think you deserve this?
