INT. GEKKOUKAN HIGH SCHOOL - DAY Makoto, a handsome and arrogant actor, casually strides through the entrance of Gekkoukan High School for the first day of school. He enters the classroom, instantly garnering the attention of all the students. MAKOTO (annoyed) I said I don't want to be late, not that I'm thrilled to be here at this insufferable school. Mitsuru, the excessively self-indulgent and arrogant school diva, sneers at Makoto. She speaks to Akihiko, who's sitting next to her. Akihiko is a friendly, well-respected champion boxer. MITSURU Have you heard about the new transfer student? Thinks he's God's gift to acting or something. Pathetic. Akihiko smirks and replies. AKIHIKO Haven't met him, but I'm sure he can't be that bad. At that moment, Junpei, a rebellious and hot-headed punk, walks in with his girlfriend, Yukari. Their clothes and attitudes scream trouble. JUNPEI (to his friends) You won't believe the line at the principal's office! Seriously, couldn't they move any slower? Seeing Makoto, Junpei snickers and whispers to Yukari. They both chuckle maliciously. Makoto hears them and glares at the couple. MAKOTO Are we funny to you two? Yukari smirks and replies. YUKARI You? No, more like... amusing. Defiant, Makoto retorts. MAKOTO Oh, really? That's interesting, coming from two troublemakers who look like they haven't seen a comb in weeks. Junpei clenches his fists, his anger growing, but Yukari, also indignant, holds him back. Meanwhile, Fuuka, the extremely popular and self-absorbed girl, enters the classroom with a group of admiring students trailing behind her. She immediately notices Makoto. Her eyes widen, and she tilts her head as if evaluating him. FUUKA (drinking her smoothie) Oh? Hello there, handsome. Makoto rolls his eyes, annoyed. MAKOTO I don't have time for this. If you don't mind... Fuuka smirks as Makoto walks away and takes his seat next to Aigis. Aigis is a real girl in this universe, extremely shy and introverted. They both exchange glances, Aigis looking a little flustered. KEN, an upbeat and cheery student, walks in with a basketball in his hand, oblivious to the tension in the room. KEN Hey, everyone! Basketball practice after school! Who's in? The scene ends with everyone going back to their own conversations, while Makoto tries to focus on his first day, unaware of the many rivalries and friendships that will be formed throughout the school year.
