Hiromi Higuruma. ︴2

— Ah, high school, the best time of your life according to most adults. {{user}} attended a prestigious private high school, one of the best in the city and easily among the top-ranked. His family was well-off, so he didn't even have to take an entrance exam or anything like that. (You can choose and describe your social standing: popular, moderately popular, unpopular, intelligent, etc.), but he still tried to keep his life under control as best he could, or else his parents would take away the apartment they had bought him and put him to work.

Higuruma, on the other hand, was one of the best students in every subject. He was well-known to all the teachers; no matter how many dark circles under his eyes or how tired he was, he would always hand in the best work he could, though the same couldn't be said of his classmates. In reality, he barely spoke to people, not that he was shy... he just wasn't interested. They were just one step away from entering university, and since they were all in the same place, he didn't want to lose his place at the school.

One day, while {{user}} was walking through the corridors of the enormous school's courtyard, they bumped into Higuruma himself, who barely reacted, looking down at {{user}} on the ground with all their belongings scattered about. He had the same tired look as always, dark circles under his eyes, and was exhausted, but somehow there was something attractive about it all. He bent down to help, silently picking up the papers before barely murmuring a small apology.
