Break started and I was walking through the crowded halls of the school with headphones in my ears. Walking down the hall I see Hana out of the corner of my eye looking at me grinning.

- What a weirdo this girl is, it's like she really wants to hurt everyone, it's not like she's not already almost the highest grade in the school.

Walking down the hall I looked around, students looking at me strangely as usual. Suddenly I hear a voice from behind me and when I look over it's Sakura coming towards me.

" Oh hey Sakura-san " I say and I step to the side and catch Sakura from falling to the ground.

" Thanks for saving me Ishikawa-kun " she says to me and swings back on her feet.

" You're welcome " I say and look around, everyone else stops talking and looks at me, me and Sakura.

- Hm? Haven't they seen people socializing before? Oh.

I realize they're surprised, I'm talking to someone when I usually sit quietly with my earphones in my ears and ignore everyone.

I looked around and then back at Sakura who was smiling at me. With a trite apology I tell her, I take my slipper and walk to my classroom.

Her face was totally disappointed but she didn't say anything and just went back to her daily activities at school.

Walking to class a thought struck me and I stopped in my tracks to think more. "If Hana is trying to destroy my GPA just because I ignore her, it means I will have to play the same coin but be more unpredictable than she could be, but for starters I will take down the surveillance cameras in my house" I say in my thought and continue my walk to class.

After school I got home and started taking down the surveillance cameras. Cutting all the surveillance camera cables and taking them down I notice a light flickering under my bed.

- Another surveillance camera huh? Anyway, I'll take that one down too.

Bending down to see what's under the bed is actually a surveillance camera recording me. Picking it up I look into it and throw it out the window and its impact made quite a noise.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

- How weird to be to put surveillance cameras in someone's house?

Looking around I pick up all the surveillance cameras and put them in the bag, but something holds me back. "These surveillance cameras are wired but the one under the bed was a wireless one, either these cameras can record both wired and wireless or they are just different models".

In any case, I'm going to keep looking to see if any surveillance cameras are still intact. Searching pretty much everywhere I find only one but the possibility of there being more than one is high so I take my time throwing away the surveillance cameras and keep looking, eventually finding one in the bathroom itself.

- How weird..

I keep walking around the house but there seems to be no surveillance camera but just me in my own privacy.

- I guess I just have to throw this crap in the trash.

I get my shoes on my feet and go outside making sure to lock the door and come downstairs with my bag full of surveillance cameras.

Walking out I throw the bag in the trash and walk back into the apartment building.

Closing the door the sound of it slamming disturbed my hearing a little but I continued walking towards the stairs and when I look at the top of the stairs I see Hana.

She stands and looks at me with a smile and a hat on her head. "Seriously man what's wrong with this girl? " I say to myself in my head and just look at her.

" Hey Ishikawa, I didn't think you lived here " she says as she walks down the stairs and comes towards me.

" Honestly I've lived here for years so there's no point in saying that " I say as I look at her coming down the stairs.

Her every step seems to fill the staircase with an echoing sound, effectively her every step seems hard on the stairs and when she reaches my right she whispers something in my ear that I didn't understand and she leaves.

I didn't even force myself to look at her but just stood with my head straight looking at the top of the stairs and once I heard the door close I started up the stairs.

- Why did she have to stalk me like that? It's getting frustrating, it was the score and now this.

I walk up the stairs and reach my door, putting the key in the lock I look to my left and right and then open the door. Entering the house I look around but everything looks the same as I left it previously so I close the door and go to my room.

I lay in bed and look at the ceiling and think. "Why does he have to do all this? Suffering for attention, huh? ".

I turn on my side and pick up my phone, looking through it I simply get bored so I leave it on the desk again and look at the ceiling.

- I wonder how many more secrets Hana has, and more importantly why I have to be in on her crap.

I sit up on my bed and look around my room, analyzing every corner of the room with a little anxiety and stress.

- Ever since the security cameras I kept feeling watched, I wondered why.

I get out of bed and sit at my desk, looking at my laptop so I open it. Waiting for it to turn on I look out my bedroom window, the sun was already starting to set and I was somewhat admiring this sunset.

Suddenly I hear the sound of the laptop opening and I sit down in front of it. "Good thing I don't have a camera on my laptop, at least I can sit quietly without feeling like I'm being directly watched" I say in my thoughts typing the password.

- I don't have anything special to see on the laptop but maybe I can learn more about Hana and understand her tactics.

Typing Hana's full name on the internet the first result was one with a professional chess group.

- Yamada Hana, president of the Kurogawa School chess group? President, huh? Interesting stuff.

Scrolling down the page I see that they are looking for new people in the group and I am now sitting curiously on the ' Join now ' button.

- I haven't done well at chess either way but this might help me clear my head a bit.

I kept looking at the green button to join the group.

- Clearly I'll have to test my chess skills first but I might try somehow to become a member without trying too hard.

I click the button and type in my required information and at the end I get a pop-up with ' Thank you for choosing us, once you are selected you will be able to take a chess test to see what you are capable of, your approval message will be delivered to your email'.
