That girl is cute… but dangerous?

She seems adorable at first glance, yet there’s an air of mystery surrounding her. The girl who took the seat beside me as the academic year began carries a notorious reputation—whispers label her the so-called “ticking time bomb” of our class. But as I observe Chihara-san day after day, I can’t help but question whether she truly lives up to that explosive nickname. Her quiet demeanor and occasional shy smiles contradict the dramatic rumors circulating about her. Maybe people have misjudged her based on hearsay rather than reality. There’s something intriguing about the way she carefully chooses her words, as if weighing each one before speaking. The more I notice these small details, the less I believe the exaggerated stories. Could it be that Chihara-san is simply misunderstood? Or perhaps there’s more beneath her calm surface than anyone realizes. Only time will tell whether the rumors hold any truth or if they’re just another case of classroom gossip blown out of proportion.
