My name is Saiki Kusuo, I'm 16 years old and currently I'm in high school. I'm sure everyone is tired of me repeating that I have paranormal powers, but I keep them a secret from everyone. Right now, I'm just hoping that I can go home so I can read and the students are talking about some new transfer student…. Great…. More crazy people. If this school already hadn't enough.

- I was told that the new transfer student is a girl! - a boy said.

- Really? - A girl asked. - Do you think she is pretty?

I couldn't care less for that… I just want the class to end.

- I heard she is a foreigner. - Another boy said.

I have to escape this place before the teacher gets here...

- Bro! Good morning! - Nendou came closer. - What is everyone talking about?

- There is a new transfer student. - Kaidou said. - Could she be from the Dark Reunion?

I'm surrounded by idiots. I must escape before….. The teacher arrives…. Great I'm stuck here and the comotion will be bad when the new student comes in. These people look like hungry animals when someone new comes. I just hope I can…!

"Hello, Saiki" - A girl voice popped in my head. - "I'll be inside in a minute".

- Everyone! Take your seats! - The teacher said. - I want to introduce you the new transfer student. She is here to learn about our culture and costumes. So be nice to her and help her adjust.

The new girl came into the room and the boys screamed for their lives. She has long blond hair, blue eyes, an athletic body. Looks like Tehurashi will have some competition. That will take her off of my feet for a while.

"I can help you take her off of you, if you want. We just have to play pretend for a while." - The same voice popped again….. Could it be… the transfer student?

- I am Faustine Michelis. It is very nice to meet you all. - The girl said to the class with a smile making the boys jump in joy again.

What a problem. Why they have to be so loud? If I just play not interested maybe she can ignore me. I can pretend that I didn't…. Wait! She can read my thoughts?! What is wrong with her? Does she have powers too?

"The teacher will ask who can help me for the day. If you want my help, raise your hand".

- Who can help Michaellis-san with her first day? - The teacher asked.

I raised my hand right after he asked that. I do not need her help, but I do want to know how she can communicate with me. I thought I was the only one who had telepathy…. Could this be a chance I caused because of my powers?

- Ah! Saiki! That was unexpected from you. - The teacher smiled pleased. - You can sit beside him.

- Yes. Thank you, sensei. - She bowed to him. - Thank you for your help. - She bowed in my direction.

She walked in my direction, bowed again and we joined desks so we could share my books. After the teacher controlled the commotion, she was able to start the class. The transfer student seemed uninterested on the subject, copying everything quickly and doodling the rest of the time.

It is interesting to be beside her. Obviously I can read her mind. She mentally dictates everything the writes, but when she is drawing her mind is quiet and tranquil. I almost fell asleep while focusing on her thoughts. She can be an interesting escape when I don't have my ring with me.

"Who that girl thinks she is? To sit too close to Saiki…. I still haven't got a sigh from him yet!" - Tehurashi thought.

This is bad. She will try even harder to get close. I have to be away from the transfer student. Why do I have to have all this weird people around me?

- Saiki-san… is this how it is made? - The transfer student asked.

Actually she was pointing o a nothe she had written to me in the corner of her notebook.

"I know all about your powers and I can keep you safe from your friends. That girl is the most dangerous one. I can help you keep her at bay".

I shook my head and erased her note to write my reply. She was smart. If she kept staring anywhere too long it would be suspicious. I looked at her with the corner of my eyes and she was smiling.

"What yo you have in mind?" - I wrote.

After I wrote my note for her, I also copied the correct answer to her. It could be interesting to know someone smarter than the people who hang around me.

- Ah! I think I get it now…. Do you think you can help me study after class?... I'm horrible at math.

"Let's start easy. They will also stay behind to study. I will say that something came up and I have to go and we can meet at my place. There we can talk freely." - She thought.

I nodded. This plan had a lot of flaws, but it was better this way. In the long run thins can work. I just play my cards right. But this will get a lot of attention for me as well. Maybe I've made a mistake?

Time passed and finally we were at the lunch break. Many students came around to see her and she considerate enough to go to the hallway to get them away from me. Even Metori went after her. Having all the boys gather around her would make Tehurashi jealous and would make her fight for the boys attention again. Hiding in plain sight. I have to give her credit.

- Maybe I should make friends with the new student and help her. Then she won't bother you. - Tehurashi said.

I'm starting to think I can't escape this girl.

"I left my lunch box on my desk. Bring it over." - I received from the transfer student. - "please accept when I ask you if you want to share it."

That girl is crazy. Better that than to deal with Teruhashi. I'm not in the mood today. I got up my chair and took the bento to her, as she said. I'm getting more attention than I wanted.

- Saiki-san! Thank you! - She said and the other boys started to offer her food. - Would you like to share it with me as a thanks for your trouble.

I nodded. At least the girl was discreet and a good actress. All of her actions seemed natural and in context. Still, it is too soon to fully trust her. It has been only a few hours since we met. The entire school followed us to the yard where she chose to have her lunch. Everyone else was there too. It is turning into too much trouble.

"The more people around us. More Teruhashi will have to behave to keep her perfect persona. Even with all the attention, you will be safe. Now take the hashi and the bento and eat some of my food". - Faustine said.

Not my course of action, but she did have a point. There was too many people for Teruhashi make her move on me. The rest of the group was also having fun. Maybe I can act a little to see how it goes.

- ah! - She caught me off guard. - There is some rice on your face…. Excuse me….

She touched my face, surprisingly to actually clean some rice. Everyone was jealous of the gesture and started to fight. Teruhashi gave her best perfect girl smile to hide her jealous. I think this will spike quickly to dangerous levels.

- I was too anxious to sleep last night, so I made some deserts and I would like to share with you. Saiki-San, you can pick yours first.

A beautiful variety of candies was shown from the other partition her lunch box had. Coffee jelo, naked cake, lime pie are a few I can remember looking at before taking my coffee jello with me. It tasted delicious! Even making a straight face I gave her a thumbs up to tell her I would follow her plan.

Too soon to be true, the school bell rang and we had to go back to class. After we were done with it, we followed her plan. The rest of the people wanted to help her and she excused herself out. I went to my house and when I got to my room, I teleported to her house. When I got there, she was cooking quietly and I had to make some noise to get her attention.

- You came! I'm happy! - she smiled. - Please take a seat.

I sat at the table, waiting for her to make her proposal. I just hope it is a good idea.

- May objective is to take Teruhashi off of you and make her look at Metori.

- "Good. But what is the plan?" - I asked.

- We pretend that we are dating and it will break her heart little by little.

- "I tried that once. It didn't work." - I said getting up to leave.

- The girl liked other girls and she didn't know you had powers. I do.

She had a point. If I don't have to hide that from her, it is one thing less I have to worry about. Having her as a shield for me to use my powers to manipulate the surroundings will make things easier. There is one thing I have to know. How does she knows I have powers? I was careful to not use them in public.

- I know about your powers, because I have some of my own. Much more limited than yours, of course. But I can get around.

- "what is it?" - I asked.

- This. - She showed me her phone.

It was showing a page describing me as a character. It has everything listed. My powers, my relationships, my complete profile… all the information she needed. Why did she show me that?

- I know about your secret. I thought it was only fair you know mine. That way we have no secrets and you can trust me.

- "fair enough. You have my attention. What guarantees do you have it will work?"

- I can make any candy you like.

- "Deal."

I shook hands with her and she brought me an enormous plate of the most varied candies she had there, all for me to eat. While I delighted on them, we went through the details of her plan. Inn two weeks time I would have to deliver her a love letter and would make her face red with pyrokinesis to look like she is shy to say yes to me. Then we would start to treat each other informally and be slightly romantic at school and go out on few public dates. In worst case scenario, I would have to introduce her as my girlfriend to my parents.

Let's see how it will be in a week.
