I'll make you popular

It was just a normal day. Tomoko woke up this morning unpopular as always, got dressed, and ate breakfast while annoying Tomoki, then went to school. It was just a normal day. She entered her class without anyone noticing her and silently sat in her seat, waiting for class to begin. It was just a normal day, until he arrived.

"Good morning class," said Tomoko's teacher.

"Good morning sensei."

"Okay, you guys remember the transfer student I told you about, right? Well, he arrived so I want you all to give him a nice welcome. Kuroki-san,"

Tomoko turned away from the window to look at her sensei, startled that he was talking to her.

"H-hai?" Tomoko stuttered out.

"You have the same schedule as our new student, so could you make sure he knows where to go?"

"H-hai."

'What did I do to deserve this? I don't want to help some bitch who'll sleep with the first guy she sees.'

"You can come in now." said sensei.

The door slid open and a handsome brunet entered the classroom. He walked up to sensei and looked at the class happily, a bright grin adorning his face.

"Please introduce yourself."

"Alright, my name is Amaterasu Hikaru. It's nice to meet you all." Hikaru gave his peers a dazzling smile and a shallow bow.

The students immediately started whispering among themselves about the new kid and wanting to be his friend. However, Tomoko was a different matter.

'What the hell! I have to help this totally hot guy. What if he falls madly in love with me and we end up doing it in a bathroom stall, or what if we become best friends and we have to do a project together, so he comes over and he locks my room and has his way with me.'

By this point Tomoko was breathing very hard at her impossible fantasies, creeping out the students sitting beside her.

"Amaterasu-san, Kuroki-san will help you get to your classes. For now, go take a seat next to Fujimoto-san."

"Yes, sensei."

A sweet looking girl sitting near the front raised her hand to signify that she was the aforementioned person. Hikaru walked towards her and smoothly slid into his seat.

'Che. He's sitting next to that skank, and he's talking to her. I knew it. He's one of those bitches who'll sleep with any slut he sees. I hope he gets aids.'

"Alright class, today's lesson will be…"

Hikaru's P.O.V.

Wow, this new school I'm going to might actually be a fresh new start. In my last school people found out about me being gay, so a new start will be really good for me.

I don't know why people make a big deal about being gay. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with girls either, but guys were just-

I breathed deeply. I don't even want to start.

What was I talking about? Right, school. Anyway, the teacher said my name.

When I walked into the classroom, I noticed there were about 20 students. Talking isn't hard, but sometimes I sound a bit gay so I'm careful when I speak.

After I introduced myself, Sensei told me to sit next to this girl named Fujimoto. She helpfully raised her hand so I would know where to sit.

"Yo." I greeted her with one of my trademark grins.

"Hello, I'm Fujimoto Rin. You can call me Rin." She returned the smile and gestured for me to take the seat on her right.

"Okay, Rin-chan. You can call me Hikaru."

Lucky me, I get to sit next to a nice person. I can already tell we'll get along nicely.

I was just getting comfy in my seat when I felt a shiver go up my spine. I felt a predatory gaze on me, so I looked through the corner of my eye to locate the source of my discomfort.

Oh, it's that girl. What's with...um...K-Kuroki?

Yeah, that's her name. What's with her giving me the `Boy, you almost look rape-worthy` look?

She turned away. Now, what's with her `Never mind, you're not worth raping` look? Like, WHAT THE HECK! First you want to rape me, but now you don't!? Okay girl, if you push me in a dark alley you'll see just how rape-worthy I am. Wait. I just jinxed it! DAMN IT!

"Alright class, today's lesson will be..."

"Hikaru-kun," Fujimoto whispered. "You have to turn to page 16."

I turned to Fujimoto and smiled with a whispered thank you. Then I turned to the right page and started listening to the lesson.

Class has just ended. The forgetful Tomoko was getting up to get to her next class when her responsibility came over. "So, you're the one who's supposed to show me around, right?" Tomoko looked up at him like a cornered animal. "Hai" "w-we have Art next p-period. I-I'll show you w-where it is." Tomoko mumbled in a small voice.

"Great. Shall we go then?." "Hai."

Soon they arrived at their destination.

"Thanks for the help, Kuroki-san. I totally would've gotten lost if it weren't for you."

"Y-your w-welcome."

Hikaru chuckled at that. "You know Kuroki-san, it's kind of cute the way you stutter." With that he walked into class leaving behind a madly blushing Tomoko.
