Chapter 1
The teacher's stern voice cut through the stillness of the classroom.
Lucas lifted his eyes lazily, barely registering the words that followed.
It was the same old lecture he had heard countless times before - a reminder that this wasn't his home and he couldn't just do as he pleased.
But Lucas couldn't bring himself to care. The school, the teachers, the other students - they all seemed like lifeless figures, going through the motions without any real purpose.
In his eyes, they were all dead inside, and he wanted nothing more than to distance himself from their presence.
Teacher
Attention, everyone!
Teacher
If you plan on lazing around like this for the rest of the school year, you might as well kiss your education goodbye.
The math teacher's voice boomed through the classroom, laced with harshness and disapproval.
Surprisingly, Lucas didn't feel insulted by his words; in fact, he found himself silently agreeing with his assessment.
However, the memory of his parents' ceaseless nagging flooded his mind, and he couldn't help but cringe at the thought of their voices piercing his eardrums if he were to take the teacher's advice to heart. Their constant harping was enough to make him want to crawl into a hole and hide forever.
Lucas let out a deep yawn and slumped his head onto his desk once again, the monotony of the lesson lulling him back into a drowsy state.
Just as he was about to drift off, a loud knocking noise jolted him awake, causing him to lift his head and shoot a groggy glance towards the classroom door.
Gianna
Excuse me, sir. I'm the new transfer student.
A voice called out, a curious mixture of sweetness and chilliness that instantly caught his attention.
A voice called out, a curious mixture of sweetness and chilliness that instantly caught his attention.
He turned his gaze towards the source of the voice and saw a girl standing at the doorway, dressed in plain and unremarkable clothing, her face partially hidden behind a curtain of thick bangs and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses.
Despite his initial lack of interest, Lucas couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity at the sight of the new student.
However, he decided to remain aloof, keeping his head lowered on his desk and pretending to sleep, secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between the teacher and the newcomer.

Chapter 2
Teacher
Ah, of course. Please do come in.
The teacher exclaimed excitedly, his interest piqued at the sight of the new transfer student.
He recalled the rumors that had been circulating among the faculty about her brilliance, boasting that she had taken first place in a national quiz for five consecutive years.
The mere thought of her academic achievement left him eager to witness her potential firsthand, and he was thrilled that she had landed in his classroom.
With a wide smile plastered on his face, the teacher motioned for the new student to step forward, eager to introduce her to the rest of the class.
Teacher
Alright everyone, let's give a warm welcome to your new classmate!
Teacher
Please say hello to them.
Gianna stood before the class, her timid demeanor belying her rumored intelligence. She took a deep breath, her hands clasped together in front of her, and spoke in a soft but clear voice.
Gianna
Hello everyone, my name is Gianna.
Gianna
I am thrilled to be here and I hope that we can all get along.
Gianna
I promise to do my best and I hope that we can learn and grow together. Thank you.
She said, bowing respectfully to the class.
The room was filled with a moment of silence, as though the students were awed by her poise and humility.
Lucas, who had been pretending to sleep, couldn't help but sneak a peek at her. Despite her plain appearance, there was something about her that made her stand out from the rest of the class.
Teacher
Now, go and take a seat.
The teacher said, glancing around the classroom to find an available desk for the new student.
However, to his dismay, he realized that the only available seat was the one next to Lucas.
Gianna
I'll sit at the back, teacher.
Teacher
Huh? Are you sure?
Gianna simply nodded her head.
Gianna made her way to the back with a quiet confidence, her footsteps almost soundless as she moved. Her movements were smooth and fluid, and there was a certain grace to the way she carried herself.
As she settled into the chair next to the man with his head buried in his arms on the desk, Gianna couldn't help but frown slightly.
She found his behavior disrespectful and lazy, and she wondered why anyone would choose to sleep in class instead of paying attention to the lesson.
Quickly realizing that she didn't want to attract any attention to herself, Gianna shifted her gaze away from the sleeping man and focused on the front of the classroom.
