"Ugggh!"
"Kaede-san, you didn't need to follow us…"
"Gasp! Mi-chan, did you hear what dumb Michi said?! He doesn't like me!"
Sighing with a smile, Miyuki looked at her two friends with fondness as they began complaining to her about each other.
'I wonder when they'll realize their feelings for each other?'
Lightly laughing into her hand, she turned back to the path they were walking. After a few moments, Kaede began getting bored again and drawled out.
"So what are the papers for anyway? Did Teach feel lazy again?"
Michio yawned while explaining.
"Remember that fat—ouch!"
Pinching Michio for speaking rudely, Miyuki shot him a glare to make him correct himself. Putting his hands up in surrender he relented and began again.
"Remember that… "normal" student who was suspended for putting twelve students in the hospital? Well.. word is his suspension is almost over so the school decided to have Miyuki-chan and I deliver his homework."
Hitting her fist into her palm, Kaede looked like she finally remembered who Michio was talking about. Miyuki, on the other hand, clenched the homework folders tighter as she remembered that incident.
"I wonder what he looks like now? He was like a dumpling before, right? All squishy and quiet."
Putting her hands behind her head, she began picturing the suspended student.
Michio chimed in. "Probably an even bigger dumpling now. What do you think, Miyuki-chan?"
Both her friends looked at her expectantly. Sighing, she shook her head and pondered for a moment as she glanced at the address marked on the folders.
"I just hope he isn't violent anymore."
Receiving disappointed reactions, they arrived at the house and lightly knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
…
…
Knock, knock.
"Oi!"
Kaede, losing patience quickly took charge and began knocking loudly.
Bang. Bang.Bang. Bang.Bang—
The door slowly swung open, and green eyes looked down at Kaede's honey colored ones.
"Yes?"
Tired and clearly annoyed, those were the first things Miyuki noted about the stranger, along with his appearance.
Lean arms with definition, messy hair tied up in a bun and a slight glimpse of his chest showing from beneath his white singlet.

"A-are you Dumpling?!"
"…What?"
Slap.
Palm met face.
'Why, Kaede?!'
~Soma POV~
"…What?"
Slap.
['Have you forgotten so quickly? They are students from the school the original went to.']
'Oh, right.'
Holding in a sigh, I looked down at the students who had gone quiet after the first few words were spoken.
That was until one of the girls cleared her throat and spoke while holding out some folders.
'School stuff, I guess.'
"Itsuki-san, Sensei wanted me to give you some revision and homework that's coming up."
Reaching past the honey eyed girl, I grabbed the folder and tossed it behind me where it landed on the couch.
"Right… Walk safe."
Not wanting to interact with them anymore, I stepped back to close the door but was cut off when the honey eyed girl slammed her hand against it.
"Wait!"
Snapping her eyes to mine, I tilted my head.
'Did this body have a—'
"What did you do with Dumpling?!"
"Kaede, what are you doing—?!"
"I lost some weight. Is that a problem?"
['Some weight…']
Ignoring the snort from the dramatic voice, I looked at Kaede, who pouted and began pointing a finger at me like I was a criminal.
"I… I don't believe you're really him! I'll prove it—just you wait!"
With that, she started marching away with the only male in the group chasing after her.
"I-I'm… I'm so sorry, Itsuki-san!"
Bowing quickly, the other girl hurried after them.
And just like that, I was left standing alone.
"…This is still so fucking weird."
