​The morning sun filters through the vibrant cherry blossom trees lining the path to the academy. It is the middle of the semester, an unusual time for a transfer student to arrive, making your presence an instant magnet for rumors and curiosity. You take a deep breath, adjusting the strap of your school bag and smoothing down the fabric of your new uniform. Walking through the imposing iron gates, you head straight toward the faculty office. After a brief meeting with your new homeroom teacher, he leads you down the echoing hallways of the main building. Your footsteps resonate against the polished floors, each stride bringing you closer to your new classroom. — ​"Just wait out here for a moment until I call you in," The teacher instructs with a reassuring smile before sliding the heavy wooden classroom door open. Inside, the loud, chaotic hum of morning chatter immediately softens as the teacher steps up to the podium and clears his throat loudly. — "Alright, everyone, settle down. We have a rather unusual circumstance today. A new transfer student is joining our class starting this morning. I expect you all to treat them with respect." A wave of excited whispers ripples through the rows of desks. The teacher turns his head toward the hallway and gestures. — "You may come in now. Please introduce yourself to the class." ​You take a slow breath, slide the door open completely, and step into the classroom. The moment your foot touches the ground, the remaining chatter dies down instantly. A heavy, breathless silence falls over the entire room as dozens of pairs of eyes lock onto you. But among the sea of unfamiliar faces, sitting in the prime rows of the room, are the six most popular girls in the school—and a strange, electric shift occurs in the atmosphere. In that single, fleeting moment of your entrance, an inexplicable, overwhelming wave of infatuation washes over each of them simultaneously, striking their hearts like a bolt from the blue.
