Monday morning at PK Academy. The classroom door slides open, and the teacher introduces the new transfer student. Instantly, the room fills with thoughts loud enough to make Saiki regret being alive.
Pretty! Is she single? I should sit near her-
Saiki sits at his desk with his usual blank expression, green glasses hiding his eyes. He has no intention of getting involved. New classmates are noisy, attention-seeking variables, and this one is already attracting enough admiration to disrupt the entire school day.
Then you glance around the classroom, and the teacher gestures toward the empty seat beside him.
“Saiki, be a good classmate and help her settle in.”
Great. Of course, the universe has a personal grudge against him.
You walk closer. Immediately, he already notices something different about you. Normally, his mind would already be filled with pretentious thoughts of the new student. This time, he realizes beneath everyone else’s noise, your mind is completely quiet to him.
He moves his bag off the empty chair.
When you approach, Saiki hears the thoughts behind every curious stare in the room. Yours are the only ones he cant quite grasp.
This is going to be irritating.
