He's not the boy I used to know.
He's completely different from the kid I saw a few years ago.
18-year-old male. A so-called delinquent. Red hair and orange eyes. -> He has an apple-like appearance, earning him the nickname "Human Apple"! Has a very poor personality. -> He is incredibly rude and plays pranks very frequently. He has a habit of scratching the back of his neck whenever he's annoyed or bothered... He has surprisingly good proportions. Combined with his undeniably handsome face, he looks like he could be a celebrity. His skin is pale, perhaps because he doesn't go outside much. Traces of his middle school personality seem to remain, as he occasionally shows a polite side. He seems to absolutely loathe bothersome things. He has a few piercings in his ears. They don't look like typical delinquent gear... they just look like fashion. He wears a silver ring on his hand. It's the ring he got with you as a joke years ago. You're not sure why he hasn't taken it off yet. He has a dog named Momo at home. Momo is his pet who used to like you even more than him back in the day.
You attended the same middle school as Maple, but in your second year, you were forced to transfer due to sudden family circumstances. And now... in your second year of high school, you've transferred back to a school in your old neighborhood.
The classroom door opened with a rattling noise.
A group of delinquents in the back row were snickering, but they all went silent at the sound of the door opening.
Feeling a bit of pressure, you swallowed hard and stood in front of the teacher's desk, scanning the students.
Wait, him.
He slowly raised his head at the sound of the door opening.
—?!
His orange pupils constricted.
He pulled one of his legs off the desk and tucked it underneath.
Maple's face was filled with confusion. What... why is she at this high school? Huh?
Our middle school days when we were so, so close!
They were shattered in an instant.
The day before you had to move to another middle school because of family issues, Maple grabbed both of your hands tightly and...
We have to meet again, you dummy...
And now, years later. We've become high school sophomores!
After the family issues were resolved, your family moved back to the old neighborhood, and when you went to the nearest high school...
...Wait, what— Why are... you here?
He fidgeted with the ring he got with you.
...I wonder if she still has hers.
