Parking the bicycle, I breathed in and out to prepare myself for the hellish prison for the upcoming three years.
Going to the entrance, I tried to invent a spell of invisibility inside my head, but of course, it didn't work.
"Hey!" a relaxed voice said behind me.
[One...]
[Two...]
[Three!]
[SOCIAL INTERACTION MODE - START!]
[The voice sounds friendly but in a type that wouldn't stop until it got what it wanted]
[If I don't turn around and respond, not only I'm going to look rude, but they're going to chase me and get in my way, making me spend more time talking with them]
[The best choice in this situation is...]
[TURN AROUND!]
Turning around to face the voice at a not-slow and not-fast speed, I replied, "Hello!"
[If I said 'Hi' it would be too casual, I don't know this person]
[If I repeated the 'Hey', it would look like we know each other, repeating the same greetings]
[Hello is the best choice.]
"My name is Andrea Leandro, but you can call me Drea," a girl with cat ears and red hair said, extending her hand to me with a smile.
[She's a half-cat Beastkin, in other words, she has the ears and the tail of a cat, but the rest of her appearance is similar to a human]
[I don't know Beastkin's manner, but the way she extended her hand, indicates that she has the same manners and the same way of introducing yourself]
[Judging by her appearance, her darker skin, her subtle muscles, and her demeanor, she's an athletic tomboy girl]
[That means she will be the one directing this conversation]
[With her outgoing personality, I will have no chance to direct this conversation to a 'bye' or 'see ya' in two sentences]
[But we have something similar, her white uniform]
[That means she's a first year just like me]
[We both don't know much about this school, so she can't be in control in all aspects]
I grabbed her hand.
[Now it's the greeting]
[She said her full name and suggested a nickname, should I copy her?]
[If I do the same, she will be compelled to use the nickname I create]
[But if I don't, I will not look as casual and comfortable as she seems to be]
[It's better if I don't do it, it will make our dynamic more pronounced]
[If I'm casual now, I will have to be casual for the rest of the possible conversations we will have in the future]
[Just saying the full name is the best choice]
"I'm Hana Hanasaki, nice to meet you too," I said with a thin smile.
[I have to smile as well, but I can't smile too much]
[If I don't smile, I will look rude and annoyed]
[If I smile too much, going together with all of the things I said and the ways I moved now, I will look like a creep]
She grabbed my hand.
[Her grip is strong!]
[I can't show any pain or sign of discomfort]
[I can't look weak in front of an athletic tomboy]
She shook my hand.
[One, two, three, four...]
[My hand has to follow hers, I can't shake more than she would do]
"Let's be friends!"
Thump-thump, thump-thump.
[SYSTEM IS AT CRITICAL POINT!!!]
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump!
[WORST POSSIBLE TIMELINE!!!]
Thuthuthuthuthu-
[WHERE'S THE RESTART BUTTON?!]
[I have to calm down...]
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump...
[I wish I could reject, but I can only accept]
[Now, how do I accept?]
[It can't be too short, with just a half-heartedly "Okay"]
[However, I can combine a "Yes" with a nod]
[Actions speak more than words, if I mix an action with a word, I will be speaking more than what I'm saying]
I nodded, "Yes, let's."
[WHAT!]
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump!
[WHY DID I SAY "LET'S"?]
Thuthuthuthuthu-
[TOO CASUAL, TOO CASUAL!!]
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump...
[It's alright, it's still salvageable]
[I can just pretend that it was something that I always say]
[I'm still not as casual as she is]
Her smile widened, the brightness blinding my eyes, "Good."
[What do you mean by "Good"?]
[It sounded like something she always wanted]
[Like when you interrogate someone and they spill the beans, and you with your rough beard say, "Good," and light a cigarette]
She let my hand go and walked away, saying "Smell ya later, Hana!"
