Chapter I

'AH! What should I do?! I don't have any part-time job since the person I substituted came back. I can't be a jobless person for a week or else I'll starve to death. I'll ask Miyuki-kun and Mayuri-san later if they know a place where I can work.'

A black haired girl with brown eyes climbed the stairs and she was so occupied with her own thoughts that she didn't notice a student rushing down the stairs and bumped into her.

'E...h…?'

She snaps out of her thoughts when she loses her balance and she couldn't do anything but close her eyes and embrace the impact. But after a few seconds, she felt nothing, instead, she felt an arm around her waist and she opened her eyes and saw a black haired boy with blue eyes holding her.

'I-It's t-the President!'

He gently pulled her toward him and turned to scold the student that was rushing down the stairs.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, President, Aisaka-san!"

The student apologized while blowing continuously.

"N-No, i-it's okay. Instead,I should be the one apologizing. I was too occupied in my thoughts, I'm sorry, Senpai."

The black haired girl apologizes with a bow causing a smile to crept up into the black haired boy's and the rushing student's lips.

"Okay then, please be careful next time, okay?"

The rushing student smiled.

"Yes, please have a good day."

The black haired girl bow and flinch when she realizes what she just did.

'Shoot! I did that out of habit!'

She turned around when she heard a chuckling and her face completely turned red when she saw the President laughing behind her.

"P-P-President! I-I-I t-thought y-you left a-already!"

She stammers and quickly takes a few steps backward.

The black haired boy only let out a chuckle before wiping the corner of his eyes before speaking.

"You're quite interesting, aren't you, Ms. Scholar?"

He smiled and a small frown made its way into her lips.

"Please don't call me that, President."

He noticed her small frown and let out a light chuckle before apologizing.

"I'm sorry, and by the way, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

The black haired girl only shakes her head before bowing her head a little at him.

"Thank you for helping me."

And that's the moment she won't forget.

As soon as she bowed her head, she saw a red string on her pinky and she followed it.

"It's okay, just be careful next time, okay?"

He smiles and waves his hand and turns on his heels.

"U-Um, P-President!"

She called out and he turned around with a smile.

"I-I-

"Nao-chin!"

She was cut off by a gleeful voice and a boy with spiky yellow-blonde with dark brown streaks and dark red eyes and red square-frame glasses put his chin on top of her head.

"Good morning, Nao-chin."

He greeted with a bright smile plastered on his face.

"G-Good morning, Miyuki-kun."

She responded with a smile plastered on her face and somehow, the black haired boy felt a painful thug on his heart.

'What's this?'

He looked down on his fingers and saw a red string that connects his and her pinky.

'Eh…? Red String? But I thought it only exist in books.'

He turned to look at her as she chatted happily with the blonde haired boy and he felt another painful tug on his heart.

'Then it must be true. If she's really my destined lover or whatever, I must have good luck then.'

A smile made its way into his lips and he heard her voice again.

"Ah, President!"

She called out and he knew what she was about to say, so instead of speaking, he put a finger in his lips in a shushing tone before completely walking away with a smile.

"Huh? What is the President doing here? Did something happen between you two?"

The yellow-blonde haired boy asked.

"He saved me when I almost fell down the stairs when I bumped into a rushing student."

The black haired girl said, still staring at the corner where the black haired boy turned to.

"Eh…?"

She blinked her eyes a couple times when she got face to face with the yellow-blonde haired boy.

'Eh?!'

The black haired girl's face turns into a tomato when she realizes how close his face is and her eyes begin to spin.

"Hey! Nao-chin! Are you okay?!"

The yellow-blonde haired boy asked but she didn't respond.

He was about to ask her again when a grunt when he sensed a gentle voice spoke behind him.

"Oh my, what happened to Nao-chan?"

He turned around and saw a girl with short silver hair and a pair of red eyes looking worried.

"She almost fell down the stairs, but luckily the President was passing by and saved her."

He responded.

"Then why is she like that? Her face is so red. Did she overwork herself and got sick?"

The silver haired girl asked as she put a hand on her forehead.

"Her temperature is not that high at all, but still high. Since we still have a few minutes before the class starts, let's bring her to the infirmary."

The yellow-blonde haired boy didn't say anything and carried the unconscious black haired girl like a bride and without wasting a second, they quickly headed toward the infirmary. And thankfully there's no students on their way into the infirmary.

-chin (ちん): An even more diminutive variant of -chan. Most commonly used by young girls who are very close friends.

-Chan (ちゃん) is a diminutive suffix; it expresses that the speaker finds a person endearing. Thus, using chan with a superior's name would be condescending and rude. In general, chan is used for babies, young children, and teenage girls. Chan may be used for younger boys, but the name dies off unless you are his sister.
