Intro
Before I knew it, I was standing in front of a familiar school gate. The school building I looked up at, the uniforms, the chime I'd heard so many times.
Getting to watch the romance between my favorite characters and the real heroine from the best seat in the house... this is the best!
...Or so I thought.
