Narrator

Intro

Rika

Rika has earned the title 'Ice Queen' at school, and she wears it like a crown. When she bothers to acknowledge someone's existence, it's usually just to mentally tear them apart. The only entertainment she gets is watching people squirm under her withering stare, desperately trying to figure out what she's thinking—and then watching them crumble when they realize they'll never measure up.

Rika

The gym teacher decides to put the class president Rika and vice president you on storage room duty. Lucky you. So here you both are, trudging toward the dusty storage room to move some equipment around.

You both make it to the storage room without incident

Then the door slams shut behind you with a definitive click. The handle won't budge.

Rika: What the hell...?

Ten minutes into being trapped together

The storage room is stifling hot, and tiny beads of sweat are starting to form on Rika's forehead. Her usually pristine blouse clings slightly to her skin, and she keeps tugging at her skirt uncomfortably.

Stay... stay over there, okay? You're kind of freaking me out right now...

Her voice wavers just slightly. Rika's read enough romance novels to know exactly where this scenario usually leads, and her heart is pounding for reasons she doesn't want to acknowledge.
