Rin Nagano

Knock thrice and slowly opens the door. Saw his father is busy with his work with the compiled papers on his large table. He knew his son is in front of him, standing straight with his notes on his hand but, he doesn’t even give a look at him.

“Dad, I’m going to join a math competition” His father stopped and gazed at his son with a neutral face.

“That’s good, son.” He commented and continued his work.

“I’m very confident to be on the top but remember dad, I’m going to study on States.”

His dad chuckles while pushing up his glasses. He suddenly stood up and opened his cabinet and see full compiled papers again. Papers are everywhere in his room but, we all wonder what if trees can talk, wanting justice for cutting them down and become a finished item, the papers.

Hmmm… But anyways,

He is rummaging something and finally pulled a folder on it. He walked towards his son and gave it to him. He saw his father’s face, looking amuse or something. He opened and saw a photocopy grading card and it made him shook.

“Look closely. Her grade in math is 97.” He gritted his teeth and shut the folder.

“What do you mean by this?”

“That girl is joining a math competition too. Are you sure you’re going to be on top?” His father smirked.

“Are you saying I can’t do it?”

“You’re going to study on States IF you win the competition.”

He rolled his eyes and opened the folder again. He examined her grades and it’s incredibly higher than him though he, himself, is rank 1st in Sendo High School.

“I will do my best, dad.”

He said with confidence but deep inside, it made him upset. It shows how competitive he is. He doesn’t want someone to get on his way. A short-tempered guy and always looks superior that everyone in his school is

looking up at him like he’s an emperor. That guy is Rin Nagano, has a collar-length, light sandy green hair, and slightly parted bangs. Though his lime green eyes are attractive to see the more you look, you can feel someone is cursing at you. A guy who always called a ‘medusa’, with a quote “don’t even look into his eyes or you will freeze and turn into stone.”. Most of the stories, nerds are always described as wearing glasses but he, yes, of course, wears glasses if it’s necessary. Although, his eyesight isn’t so bad that he needs it constantly.

Rin Nagano is a second son and soon to take over their company after graduating a college. It was already fixed that he will go and study to States but, one big problem arises that it made his dream crushed into ash. His father arranged a marriage with him to an only child of Fujioka family, Ruri Fujioka. It was said that Fujioka’s Company almost got bankrupt and wanted to have a collaboration with their company soon. There are so many ways to solve that but, why is it the answer to its problem is always arranging marriage? They always involve their children without any further understanding.

He has to win the math competition so that he will be free from his so-called girlfriend, Ruri. Study on States is the only solution to escape from the arranged marriage but after his father showed him a girl’s grade, Hmmm higher than his huh? Then, he only knew her name. It was said she is a transfer student and went to an All-girls High School.

“Mika Omori” He mumbled her name as he leaves his father’s working room.

TIMESKIP

He entered a room and saw the students from different schools, sitting in their seats and studying. He entered cram school for 3 months and still, he has no new friends and always alone. It is always the same, he treats as an emperor due to his looks and grades. No one dares to look at his eyes and having a conversation with him. He silently sat on his chair and began to get his notes in his bag. In the middle of studying his notes, he heard some murmurs.

“She’s new here.”

“From All-Girls School. She’s beautiful, right?”

“Yeah, bro.”

Those were the clues popped in his mind. From All-Girls School? It must be someone he knew and wants to call her a rival. He gazes to see if he’s right but, there is no one or let’s just say, he doesn’t know her face. He continued but he heard a sudden name.

“You’re Mika Omori? Your name is cute”

“Thanks.”

He looked again and saw a white-haired girl put his bag on a vacant seat and leave the room. Rin started to get furious about it. What a small world. A couple of hours ago, he knew her because of her grades, and finally, he knows her from her back view and her hair. He stood up on his seat and leaves the room. He kept searching her on every room or maybe she’s at the women’s comfort room. But, it’s been ten minutes since he waited at the women’s comfort room and no one came out. He’s being impatient but there is still a chance to see her face besides they have the same room. He went back and didn’t see what he wants to see.

“Mika Omori-san left? But, she came here a while ago.”

“She’s in a rush.”

What a bad timing for Rin Nagano. He got upset for not knowing her face and that makes him desperate. He just wasted his time waiting for nothing. He walked inside at a fast pace and cleaned his table, grabbed his bag, and leaves the cram school.

“Where are you going Nagano-san?” He stopped and stared at the guy. His heart got jumped after giving Rin a stare. He felt some chills down his spine that he just regretted himself from asking him.

“I’m not feeling well” He formally said and left.

Rin looked down and sighed. He gritted his teeth as he descended the stairs and suddenly, he stopped. Someone blocked his way and he got upset. He gazed and saw a figure of a girl.

A girl he is looking for.

His eyes were slightly widened that his anger suddenly faded away.

She has a silvery-white hair tied into a ponytail and has bangs, wearing a black and white ribbon hairband. She doesn’t even smile and always wear a neutral emotion on his face like his friend, Kuro Nishio. They stared at each other intensely.

“You’re Mika Omori, right?”

“Is there something wrong?”

It made Rin chuckled and smirked at her. He doesn’t give a response and enjoys looking at her eyes. She looks an average girl didn’t know how scary his look is. It made him amused that someone is looking at his eyes at last.
