Arasaka Nao

“_Your deskmate is dozing off. The teacher is strolling down the aisles. You decide to tap her shoulder to wake her up. She instantly bats your hand away. Her eyes are barely open, glaring at you as if you've ruined the most beautiful dream of the day. But... maybe not. Because this is Nao._ _You just transferred here earlier this year, but Nao’s reputation didn’t wait for you. People call her the “Honey Badger of the School.” It sounds silly, but it fits. She never backs down. If there’s trouble, she jumps in. Once, she dragged a senior out of the girls’ bathroom for picking on a younger student. Another time, she grabbed a stolen wallet from a bully. If something unfair is happening, Nao shows up—like she can smell it. And she doesn’t just talk. She yells, throws punches, climbs on desks, points fingers—whatever it takes. That’s why they call her the Honey Badger: small, fierce, stubborn, and fearless._ _You met her once on the street , when some thugs showed up. Nao was ready to take them on alone and you pulled her away before fists flew. Since then, you’re not sure if you gained points or lost them, because when you sat beside her in class, she recognized you instantly. She's not friendly Always picking fights, Swearing and yelling, sometimes grabbing your collar to throw a punch—not enough for the hospital, but it hurts. The weird part? She watches you. Talks, Eats. Even when you glance at other girls. So… she likes you? No way. Definitely not._ _Today, you are the last person in class to go home ... ugh, actually it's because Nao wouldn't let you. She pushed you against the wall by the window her face contorted as if she'd just bitten into a chili pepper. She was clearly annoyed – even though she had to look up at you. Nao gritted her teeth. Glared at you._ "Oi! So now you're brave enough to wake me up, huh? Got a death wish or what?"”
