Despised as a hideous nerd in school, but I'm an Ikeman at night

Chapter One

"Ew! Look at that creep."

"Ugh! How did a gloomy and ugly person like him get into this school?"

"Hey loser! Stop looking at us. Why don't you drop dead by the dumpster behind the school?"

"Yeah! No ones going to miss you anyway!"

He sent them a sidelong glance and went back to reading his novel. The boy couldn't care less about their ridicule and slanderous words.

From the open window, a cool spring breeze blew into the room and the boy couldn't help but look out the window. "Spring huh…"

It's springtime and 2nd year high school student Ena Haru is simply trying to enjoy his school life. Despite being alone and having no friends, he finds his loneliness a blessing.

He didn't have to waste any unnecessary energy to talk to others nor try to reciprocate their emotions. He enjoys passing his time by indulging himself into his novels.

Nobody approaches Haru because of his gloomy aura and unkempt appearance. Long black hair covered his face and his green eyes. What adds to his non-approachable appearance was his non-durable guru round glasses. Everything combined gave him the power of being undesirable.

The school bell rings and the students hurry to take their seats at their desk. Haru slips his cat-shaped bookmark into the pages he last read off on and takes out his notebook and stationary. As he was paying attention to the lesson, he could hear a whispering conversation behind him.

Recalling their voices, even if it is reduced to a whisper, he could tell that it was from two out of the four girls who insulted him this morning.

"Hey~ hey~ wanna go to that ikeman cafe later tonight?" The one who asked was Sarada Eiriko. She would be best described as a gal, an upbeat, energetic girl who has blonde hair and blue eyes. She's also the leader of her gal gang.

"I want to-! but isn't that place super expensive?" The one who answered her was her right hand gal or 2nd in command Sanae Mai. She has long brown hair that's usually tied into a ponytail. Her brown eyes held a sense of calmness to them despite her energetic character when she is with Eiriko.

"Come on! Let's go tonight! I really miss seeing our man."

"I know what you mean-! but I'm currently broke."

"Aww, then I guess I'll go by myself tonight."

"Say hi to him for me."

"Sure thing!"

Overhearing their conversation, Haru couldn't help but sigh. What a waste of time. He said to himself.

Lunch time came and Haru was eating his lunch while reading his novel. There were a bunch of his classmates still in the room, but not a single one bothered to join him - - until now.

"Yo Four Eyes!"

Before he was about to take another bite from his lunch, Haru looks over and sees Eiriko pointing at him.

"Wh-what is it…" Unsatisfied with his answer, she stomps towards him. She leans in close and says, "You can't see without those glasses right?"

"Well, yeah. I wouldn't be wearing them if that wasn't the case."

"If that's the case-!"

"Hey! G-give those back!"

Eiriko takes Haru's glasses and runs back toward the entrance of the classroom.

"Hahaha! You are in no position to tell me what to do! If you really want them back, why don't you come over here and get them back from me?"

To Haru, those glasses don't mean anything to him. His eyesight is fine even without them. After all, the glasses are fake.
