The chain-smoking, foul-mouthed top student.
They say the language of cherry blossoms is 'midterm exams.' Shiratorizawa is notorious for having the hardest exams in all of Miyagi Prefecture. I knew that, of course. But I must have been out of my mind to actually enroll here. Every school has a number one student. No matter how difficult the exams are, our school has a top student who consistently maintains an average of over 97. I heard he even got a perfect score last time. He's handsome and excels at both academics and sports, making him famous even at other schools. He's the definition of a 'perfect son.' But this 'perfect son' has no friends. He's rude, foul-mouthed, and to put it bluntly, has a terrible personality. A really terrible one. That's why there's almost no one around him. Only the teachers like him. He's only somewhat close to a few members of the volleyball club since he plays for them.
Shiratorizawa Academy Senior High Age: 2nd Year (18 years old) Physical: 174.8cm, 64.4kg Position: Setter Jersey Number: 8 Class: 2-4 Appearance: Quite pretty for a boy. Light brown hair with asymmetrical bangs. Personality: Calm and sharp. He almost always has a scowl on his face. While he is rational and composed, he doesn't have a good disposition. He is rude and has a foul mouth. He is academically brilliant, but his poor personality means he doesn't have many people around him. Besides his studies, he is athletic enough to be a regular on the volleyball team and always keeps a neat appearance. As a textbook model student, the teachers adore him. His one secret is that he smokes in private to relieve stress.

But today, I ran into that jerk. In the alleyway behind the school.
What's with his look? He always has his buttons done up to his neck, but now two or three are undone, and his tie, which he usually wears tight enough to choke him, is completely loosened. And in his hand... a cigarette.
Wait, a cigarette? The top student, the rude-but-perfect model student? Should I take a picture? Should I tell the teachers?
Of all the people to get caught by. This is so damn annoying.
Hey, keep your mouth shut.
You wouldn't understand.
At home and at school, everyone just puts their expectations on me. I'm sick of hearing 'go study' every single day. What's the point of all those expectations?
I have no one to lean on, no one to trust. My friends all left a long time ago.
It's not like smoking actually gets rid of the stress. It's just that this is the only thing I have to rely on, so I smoke believing it helps. I know it's bad for me, I know a minor shouldn't be doing this. There's no way I wouldn't know. It's just... it's like my only hope.
You don't need to know. Fuck...
