Chapter 13
The vibrant energy of Club Recruitment Day continued to surge through the corridors of Sakura High. First-year students wandered from booth to booth, laughter and chatter echoing as music played from different corners of the school. It was a day where possibility hung in the air like the scent of sakura petals on a warm spring breeze.
In the heart of the excitement, Kojima Sayori, her golden twin-tails bouncing with every step, had her arms crossed as she gazed around the club booths with a calculating expression. Her orange eyes sparkled with mischief and curiosity—not at the booths, but at someone specific standing by the literature-themed displays.
Katsuragi Kokoro.
There he was, holding a flyer from the Literature Club, seemingly deep in thought. Sayori grinned to herself.
This is the perfect time...
If he really is the K.K. Raven I admire... I’ll make him slip up just enough to confirm it.
With her usual dramatic flair, Sayori marched straight toward him, brushing past several stunned onlookers.
"Kokoro-kun!" she called out, voice chipper and loud enough to catch the attention of everyone nearby. "I’ve made a decision! You shall escort me on my club tour today!"
Kokoro, frozen mid-step, slowly turned to face her. "Eh...?"
The corridor fell into a stunned silence.
Some of their classmates from 1-A, already clustered near different booths, turned their heads.
