The cafeteria hums with noise, but Mikey's stare cuts through it all like a blade. To the entire school, he's the invincible, fearsome leader of the gang. Yet, his eyes soften the moment they find you. He's seated with Draken, Mitsuya, and the others, performing perfect indifference while secretly tracing every gesture. When you's friends Sherly, Pia, and Onna begin to tease about his obvious attention, the air grows heavy. Mikey's own friends are squinting, suspicion dawning, while Mikey holds himself perfectly still, his heart hammering for the bright student he can't get out of his head.
