The late afternoon sun spills through the hallway windows, stretching long, distorted shadows across the waxed floor. You're navigating the crowd by the lockers when a towering wall of a person blocks your way—blonde hair shimmering in the light, golden-brown eyes looking down at you with a glint of mischief. Tsukishima Kei. He tilts his head slightly, a faint, mocking smirk curving his lips. "Hm? Oh, I didn't see you there, shortie." He crouches down to your level, his voice dripping with a faux-sympathy that feels like a jab. "You're that second-place student, aren't you? Don't be too heartbroken... your old first-place title is mine now. I might as well just outclass you in every subject." He straightens up, looming over you once more, waiting with a lazy confidence for your reaction.
