The Spider-Men: Crisis On Infinite Earths

SIDE STORY-7: Arisu Sakayanagi: Enigma

ARISU SAKAYANAGI'S POV:

Alone in my room, the soft glow of the evening sun filtering through the curtains casts a warm, amber hue over the space. It's a quiet sanctuary, a refuge from the chaos of the outside world where I can finally let my guard down and allow my thoughts to roam freely.

I am Arisu Sakayanagi and I suppose you could say I'm a bit... disillusioned with the status quo here at this school.

The monotony of my existence weighs heavy on my shoulders, a burden I've grown all too accustomed to carrying. Advanced Nurturing High School, with its lofty academic standards and suffocating expectations, has become a prison of my own making, trapping me in a cycle of apathy and indifference.

But amidst the sea of familiar faces, there came a glimmer of excitement on the horizon: the class competitions. Suddenly, the air crackled with anticipation, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, I found myself daring to hope for something more.

The class competitions...There's definitely more to this school than meets the eye.

And then he arrived, a lone figure navigating the bustling halls with a quiet confidence that sets him apart from the rest. Agrim Sharma, the new transfer student, with his enigmatic aura and magnetic presence, captured my attention in a way no one else ever has.

"Who is he?" I wondered aloud, my gaze followed Agrim's every move as he effortlessly commands the attention of those around him. "What secrets lie beneath that composed exterior?"

As I sat in the solitude of my room, the unanswered questions swirl around me, beckoning me to embark on a journey of discovery. With each passing moment, I feel a newfound sense of purpose stirring within me, a determination to unravel the mysteries that surround Agrim Sharma and unlock the truth hidden beneath the surface.

His mere presence ignites a spark within me, a flame of curiosity and desire that refuses to be extinguished. I find myself consumed by thoughts of him, my mind constantly wandering back to the enigmatic boy who had captured my attention so completely.

I pored over every detail of his demeanor, analyzing his every word and gesture for clues to his innermost thoughts and desires. What drives him? What fears and aspirations lie beneath that stoic facade? The more I learn, the deeper I fall into the web of fascination he has woven around me.

But it's more than just curiosity that draws me to him. There's a magnetic pull, an inexplicable connection that defies logic and reason. In his presence, I feel alive, awakened to a world of possibilities I never dared to imagine before.

With each passing day, my obsession with Agrim Sharma grows stronger, consuming my thoughts and driving me to uncover the truth behind the enigma that is he. I know that the path ahead will be fraught with challenges and uncertainty, but I am determined to press on, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to unravel the mysteries that surround him.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Been a while since I've touched this story, so I thought a little Side Story would keep things interesting. I know it's pretty short, but it's the best I can do right now with a lot of rust.

Thanks for reading, and appreciate the support. :)
