My name is Hiromi rosas, I just moved into my own apartment and have changed schools too. I’m a second year and I’d like to think I’m that one ordinary person at school that doesn’t stand out. I’m so ordinary that I would make it as a background character! And I love it that way, I mean protagonists and main characters have it tough right?

For example: if they just wanted to get some snacks from the vending machine they’d end up having to do some sort of competition just for that one snack! If they bump into someone, 95% of the time they’ll befriend that person, imagine just how many people they’ll have to remember! If they do much as just breath, trouble comes knocking right at their door every single time! And I don’t wish for a tiring life such as that even if it’s for interesting events.

Well, that’s all I’ve seen in the most genres for books, anime’s, and movies so far but I’m sure that I’m forgetting one that I have no interest in... Whoops! It’s almost time for school, I better get going! Today will mark as another year of being an ordinary person in school!

I wrap bandages around my chest and put on a hoodie and joggers. “Now where’s my skateboard... ah there it is.” Before I leave I hug my dog River then lock the door to my apartment and dash to school on my skateboard as fast as I can.

Agh! I should’ve watched ‘Uno Kick Man’ another day, but it was so binge worthy! .beep beEP BEEEEP!. A car zooms past me as it beeped. “Oop-“ I didn’t notice the car, I was too lost in thought, what was that about anyways? “Ah, the school’s coming into sight” I speed up to get this over with quickly.

When I got there it was packed with lots of people which made me anxious about the rest of the day, I’m no good with people, much less guys. People are just... scary things. So I’ll avoid social interaction as much as I can!

“Are you a first year here?” Asks a tough voice behind me that made me jump.

“No, I’m a second year” I answer as I put some distance between me and the guy, I don’t even want to look at him in the eye I’m so anxious.

“Second year huh, hmmm” I can feel the guy looking at me up and down. “Well, I’m a second year too but I haven’t seen you around here girly boy.”

Hah! Yes he fell for it! Remember when I was getting ready for school I wrapped bandages around my chest and wore baggy clothes? It’s because of the attention girls get in school, it’s really annoying. Guys checking out girls, rating them as they pass by, or girls saying this and that. I avoid all that by dressing up like this, plus it’s more my style.

“Hey girly boy! I’m talking to ya!” He says coming closer bending down to look at my face

“Ah, you probably haven’t seen me around because I just changed schools!” I answer him and turn my face away.

“... hey come on!” He grabs my shoulders and gets closer to my face.“Look at the person who’s talking to you-“

I can barely move, his grip is too strong! I finally turn to look at him and didn’t realize he was only a few centimeters away from my face! This is too close, seriously agh!

I finally explode and yell at him. “Can you let go now!?” The guy flinches and stays frozen while he looks at me in surprise and a little of something else that I don’t know of. I frown as my courage suddenly fades and turn away again.

There’s just silence with him still gripping my shoulders and looking at me.

“...You’re too close by the way...”
