Chapter 1

The best experiences of being a highschool student are meeting new friends, hanging out with them and having a boyfriend. They say that highschool is supposed to be the door for an exciting adventure, so before you open the door, you first need to prepare yourself for a new environment. But how did it lead to this? I'm in my last year of highschool but I hadn’t even experienced even one of the exciting things my seniors said. I spent my entire year studying and isolating myself from everyone. I created a solid wall in front of me that became a hindrance for my interaction with other people. Not that I don’t like them or I’m being rude, I just learned something when I saw my female classmates bullying someone just for being friendly.

Through all the introductions above you might think that I am a lonely highschool girl but actually I'm not (except to the fact that I don't really have any friends in real life).

"Ohayō gozaimasu,my babies. Megasameta bakari de, gakkōniiku hitsuyō ga arimasu. Watashi wa mada anata-tachi to hanashitai nodesuga, watashi wa hotondo okurete imasu. Sayōnara," (I just woke up and I need to go to school. I still want to talk with you guys but I'm almost late. Good bye.)

"What the fuck are you doing, are you talking to your Barbies?"

I stopped at the middle of my meditation when my little brother,Ken, talked, wearing a WTF look.

"What do you mean Barbies,"

"That plastic thing you are holding, isn't that a barbi---"

"These are not called Barbies! These are called figurines!How the fuck can you mistaken a Japanese action figure as western doll. Ken are you dumb?" I put back my 002 limited edition figurine to its shelf and started stretching my body. Ken is still standing in front of me.

"Oh, really? They look the same for me, my bad kek. Btw don't you have any classes for today?"

"Unfortunately I have synchronous class today. God! I haven't even taken a bath yet"

"Then what are you doing there? Instead of talking to your dolls like some creepy woman, do your stuff now. Are you planning to face your professor with that kind of face!" He exclaimed.

"I don't care, I will just keep my camera off. And what do you mean by with that kind of face, I'm cute with or without shower,"

My highschool year was already bad but COVID-19 made it even worse. Since COVID-19 cases are still growing, our principal decided to conduct this year’s class via online. Honestly, it’s not bad for those who hates socializing with everyone just like me but the problem is because of staying at home, I spend more time watching anime than attending classes. I also always forget my school activities. As a result, I am always chasing time and always depend on procrastinating.

He shrugged and left. Upon his departure, that’s when I started to panic because I am already late to my class. My professor is a time conscious person. He  always starts the class 30 minutes before the actual schedule!

I took a quick shower and fixed my hair. As I see myself in the mirror I shudder at my beauty as I imagine myself wearing my pink wig. But as a student with strict teachers, I am not allowed to do that because I have to follow the rule. It also doesn't make sense because we conduct classes online and some of my classmates don't even open their camera. As a weeb girl it was really hard. I can only cosplay when I’m in my room and no one is around. I want to show the world how beautiful I am in a maid dress if I wasn’t just born shy ꒰⑅ᵕ ༚ ᵕ꒱˖ ♡.

"Ohayo,momma!"

I saw my loving mother, preparing my breakfast. I kissed her cheek and started eating. Since we conduct the class online, I can take my breakfast to the bedroom and just eat it there. I don’t even have to worry even if the professor catches me while eating.

"Good morning, Kanna. Where is Ken?"

"I don't know, maybe playing games or what. By the way I have classes today mom, so I'll just bring my food inside. Sayonara!"

"Sayonara?What is sayonara?Is that I love you? Okay, sayonara too!"

Going to highschool isn’t really as exciting as they say. It was a pure plain of the year for me. I study for exams, do homework, cram and so on. Everything I read from books are impossible to experience in real life. No excitement and romance. Just pure drama. I remember myself before, eager to experience everything but ended up being disappointed with my expectations. That’s where I started avoiding people but good thing I met anime. Whenever I watch anime I don’t care at all. I am able to be happy even when I am alone. It serves as my place of relaxation. I also met some people who had the same interests in me.

I put my food on my study table and as I was facing my laptop, I heard a familiar ringtone coming from my phone. It is a recent notification in telegram with a link attached to it. I just hope this is not a scandal video or some weird jump scares. I clicked the link and I was redirected to a discord channel called Nekofied. It is a group chat full of weebs like me, half of the population uses dummy accounts and some are real cosplayers. I can say that this channel is a newly created one, it only have 30 members.

As I scrolled down to the chats, I saw some people discussing about something.

That was fast.

Mrs. Mercado,my professor, already sent us the link earlier. I chose not to join the meeting right away because I believe that my real schedule is also my real boss.

To use my remaining 20 minutes of free time, I first scrolled through my W******p. No new messages other than an anime group chat and my class group chat. While scrolling, I noticed a message from my friend Noni. She is my friend from Indonesia who recently moved here to the Philippines to study. She was also the only person who still kept talking to me even though I ignored her many times.

"Ohayo, kanna-chan!" She shouted as I accepted her video call request.

"Ohayo, why are you still here," Noni is also in the same class as me.

"Eh? Why would I, we still have some minutes before our first subject. By the way girl did you know that some bitches are talking about you? Those bitches are so jealous of you 'cause you and Ken are living in the same roof.Why aren't you fighting back?"

"You already know the answer Noni,"

"If I were you I will not ignore those bitches. If they hurt me why not fight back,"

The reason why I distance myself from Ken every time we’re inside the campus is because of people who keep saying things just because a famous guy like him has a nerdy sister like me. I know it sounds stupid but that’s how it works. If you have a princely and charming brother, you also need to act like him. But I, who rarely comb my hair, is not really pleasant to look at in the eyes of others. I'm not sad about this. I just don’t care, because I can do whatever I want to do with him when we’re home.

We spent our whole time talking and not attending our first subject at all. (Please don't skip classes!)

"Kanna, I have seen a makeup tutorial for a 002 cosplaying. Wanna try it out?" Noni asked. One thing that made me become close to Noni is because she is also a weeb like me. I remember when I found out that she also kept various tarpaulins and pillows of male characters in her room. She really thought that I would find it weird and I would suddenly ignore her! But I also immediately explained to her that I would not be angry because I am also a delusional fan girl. Good thing to have a friend like her but this girl keeps stealing my favorite male characters a.k.a husbandos.

"Let's try it out tomorrow since tomorrow is weekend, someone from discord invited me to watch this streamer,"

"Drop the name of the streamer!"

"Groom, they call him groom,"

When I mentioned groom's name Noni suddenly stopped walking then she looked at me with a disbelief in her eyes.

"Bitch, you don't know Groom?!"

"How would I know! Is he even popular,"

"Kanna,Groom is always at the top list of twitch highest viewed streamers!It's impossible that you don't know him!"

A notification popped out from my phone, with that streaming link attached. As I clicked the link, a half naked guy appeared.
