A/N: Hello, this is Imari. Dissonance is being rewritten under the name of Briar Rose. We've also added different quirks to our OC, Nobara. The pairing will not be released as always, but we are leaning towards a Shiraishi/OC centric romance.
Summary: She is notorious for two things at Shitenhouji Middle School: her ambiguous personality and peculiar sleeping habits. Shiraishi Kuranosuke will be the first to find out that there are more than just those two things to Otonashi Nobara, and that fact scares her.
ブライアーローズ
l
Briar Rose
Satan's death trap; also well-known as Shitenhouji Middle School's classroom 1-4.
It wasn't really a pit full of fiery demons, of course. Shiraishi's first-year classroom was once equipped with a well-functioning air-con, but previous Osaka summers have taken a toll on its life and finally rendered it unusable about a month ago. The rest of his classmates had already left the premises to celebrate their freedom from the hell hole. Shiraishi was about to do the same but he noticed a lone girl left behind and slumped over in her chair.
Five minutes past the end of their last class, she was still seated at the very back center of the room; bathing in the stuffy heat created by the summer haze outside. The health-conscious teen was thinking that she had succumbed to the heat, but her light snoring proved him otherwise. If she continued to doze off any further, she would eventually pass out from heat exhaustion.
"Hey... class is over, you know?" Shiraishi spoke up, "You should wake up."
With his tennis bag slung behind his shoulder, he studied the sleeping girl. The clamorous cicadas crying outside the open windows were unable to wake her either.
Her head that buried in her arms shifted towards him. Her eyes were still closed shut and her breathing continued undisturbed. Black hair was put back in a ponytail; leaving several strands to stick onto the skin of her slim face. Under the sunlight, Shiraishi could see a sheen of sweat forming above her eyebrows.
'That's enough sleep time for you.'
"Hey." He spoke up again, sounding firmer and considerably louder. "Wake up."
The drowsy girl's eyebrows scrunched up together, followed by her body stirring in her seat. Lips parted and half-lidded eyes slowly began to open to reveal a pair of gold colored orbs. With her head still laying in her arms, she met the silverette's gaze with a dazed expression.
For the very first time, Shiraishi made eye contact with class 1-4's Otonashi Nobara.
