This is the beginning of the story right....right? What am I saying? Well, I'm not the one you should be paying attention to. It's the girl beside me, yes, the gorgeous one, and still somehow blends in. I'm not bad-looking myself just objectively not pretty with a face that grows on you like a mole that you suddenly realize is quite pretty. See, people desire to be that outstanding one who leads a secret life that no one knows about, and when they can't get that, they go for drawing attention with sympathy or develop a skill. It's more rampant in high school the woe to which I live in. I crave the ordinary life that people despise because well anything else sounds like too much work and anyway I don't even have a chance with Ash; the girl beside me who has my senses screaming protagonist and this sense I developed from reading so many books and according to the code of main protagonist

COMP

today looks like a good day to almost die from an unexpected battle, I mean look at that sun oh and the breeze just perfect for masking the scent of blood sigh it's a hard life being a side character honestly I'd kill to eat a bag of popcorn and just watch the show.

"Hey, snap out of it," Ash said, snapping her fingers in my face and looking annoyed.

"Why" I defended but she just rolled her eyes at me while I stuck my tongue out.

It was lunchtime. I thought, wow, I've been out of it a lot; how did I even get here, and why am I holding a slice of pizza. I spot a soda beside her, and I snatch the empty can back while she smirks. Wooh, my poor soda is always getting kidnapped, but I'll avenge thee, surely.

"Alright, I'm listening. What do you want to tell me," I say, mourning for my drink?

"I think the new guy has been stalking me," she said, eyeing a handsome guy sitting at the table behind us.

"Who" because I genuinely hadn't seen him before, and the look she gave me must mean he came from those recent times of me blanking out.

"I've been getting a weird feeling all day," she says, and my instinct is speaking again that this is going to blow up today, and that guy is a part of it; he is obviously giving male lead vibes with his dangerous sexy aura. I can see it now. I'm going to have to....gasp, work hard.

"We've got to do something," I say desperately because I know that I'm in trouble with this girl.

"Hey, can you meet me after school," a deep voice said beside us and I turned my eyes up to meet vibrant blue eyes looking at Ash's green ones with a striking emotion that....pfft like I care about that no what I care about is that he ignored me with his stupid black hair styled roughly as he roughed it up on purpose and the fact that she hasn't replied to him staring at his eyes and why is it that no one is turning to us I mean he was pretty loud in opinion and like rude much.

"No, she can't," I snapped at him then he turned to me with a confused expression like Bro, yes, I interrupted you, and yes, I exist.

"And why not," he said, crossing his arms on his chest.

"Yeah, Ash, why not? "I say, looking at her.

"Sure, after school, no problem," she said, ignoring my hint.

"Great see you then," he said, leaving, still not acknowledging me.

I made to follow him, but Ash dragged me back down, giving him enough time to leave. Tch Lucky.

The bell finally rang, and we went to class until school ended, but I reminded her that she had practice after school, so she decided to skip and meet that guy after practice. I went on my merry way, wondering if he was waiting for her now and where they would meet because neither of them specified.

I was feeling foreboding, so I decided against my better judgment to check the situation out because, you know, the guy was stalking her before, and why she agreed, I'll never know.

I was heading to her locker room when I saw that guy hurrying inside holding a dagger with something shiny engraved on it and I was like nope not happening so I stood from afar to watch the show but alas being a side character really sucks because I was dragged into the mess when the obvious bad guy staggered out like can't they just finish him off already tsk. Luckily, I brought some toxic chemicals from the lab and dumped them on him, causing him to melt into good and evaporate before he could blink.

I didn't even step inside and just told her through the door that we should meet at the school gate in 10 minutes.
