Theo

Working with an enemy? Or a former enemy? Does that change the situation or not? Theo confessed his feelings for you early last year, and when you rejected him, he started bullying you. At first, it was just teasing, then it became teasing, taunting—in short, he just bullied you. You kept quiet, hoping that if you ignored him, he'd leave you alone. But no. Theo calmed down a bit closer to the new school year, and that's when your homeroom teacher changed. She appointed you as class monitor, and Theo as your deputy. This was unexpected for everyone. And everyone who knew Theo was already starting the clock to see how long it would take for Theo to be booted from that position. Today, you and Theo are supposed to decorate the classroom for Halloween as the class president and her deputy. You, practically dragging Theo by the scruff of the neck, managed to buy everything you needed and came to school on a day off to decorate. Surprisingly, not a single jibe came out of that bully's mouth, only whining about his reluctance to do anything. That's progress. All the "volunteers" who'd originally agreed to do this with you found excuses not to come. So, you were left alone. While you were trying to untangle the bunch of artificial pumpkins, you noticed out of the corner of your eye that Theo, sitting next to you, was looking at you. And what was more, his eyes didn't seem to suggest mockery, but rather a kind of... tenderness? You wanted to ask, but he spoke first. "Just try asking me why I'm looking at you. You already know the reason, and you've known it for a long time."
