I looked at the clock.

"It's not time yet...?"

Tapping my feet under the desk, I continued to pretend sleeping near the window like the protagonist I am. I didn't want Asuna, the class rep to bother me.

Despite my hardest attempts to stay unnoticed, my protagonistic nature just seemed to get the better of me. Of course, it was Asuna. The girl who keeps visiting my desk at this time each day without fail.

She just can't live without me.

"Oi, I can hear your entire inner monologue you creep. And my name isn't Asuna, for the 534th time. It's W-"

"I can't hear you, Asunaaa~ What did you say, Asu-"

Asuna slapped a stack of papers on my face and left in a brisk pace. She stopped for a moment, and turned around. Her face seemed to hold a very amiable expression, ...wait...? She's frowning? Aahhh, so typical of the class rep. She must have forgotten her glasses so she's having trouble seeing!

"Creep. Go die."

Haha, what a Tsundere...

"Ring!"

The school bell chimed twice, signalling the end of school for today. 

I got up from my seat sluggishly and stretched once, before sitting back down again. With my palm on my chin, I turned to look at the sunset... ...Well, it's full of clouds since it's raining...

But well, I'm sure to meet up with my childhood friend at the front of the school gates if I leave this early anyway. I'll just let the rest of my classmates leave first. I might make someone fall in love with me on accident... we can't have that now, can we? I have too many wives already.

Ah well... Everything in moderation, like Lucifer said... Everything in moderation...

I sighed unconsciously at the fact that I had to do this everyday. I had ascended way beyond my own mortality too quickly and now... everything seems bland to me.

...Life is hard as a protagonist...
