She moves to Kurama's neighborhood and attends Meiou Private Academy and wears the girl's unifrom. Part 1 will begin in Rin's POV as she arrives at Meiou on her first day of her senior year. Also in part 1, we get to hear Kurama's thoughts on his new classmate. Stay tuned to see what happens
Love for Kurama Part 1: New School, New Beginning Part 1
I smiled nervously as I entered Meiou Private Academy. The uniform for girls consisted of a long-sleeved shirt and a skirt, both of which seemed to fit me nicely. I had just left the office with my new schedule. Since my scores from my previous school were so high, I had the honor of getting into a couple of the advanced classes here like Advanced Chemistry and Advanced Literature. I arrived at my classroom for Advanced Chemistry and the teacher opened the door. He smiled and let me in, introducing me to the class.
"Class, we have a new student joining us this year. Miss, go ahead and introduce yourself."
I smiled and bowed to my new classmates.
"Hello. My name is Rin Ukaji. I just moved here from America. If anyone would like to ask questions about me, feel free."
One girl raised her hand and smiled at me.
"What kind of hobbies do you have?"
"Several. I like to cook, read, and take walks through the park. I also have a black belt in martial arts."
A boy raised a hand and smirked.
"Have you ever used your martial arts skills against anyone?"
"Once or twice. Let's just say that a couple of guys may or may not have lost the ability to have children."
Several of the guys cringed at hearing this. The teacher nodded and motioned to a seat beside a red-headed boy my age.
"Miss Ukaji, your seat will be next to Shuichi Minamino."
"Yes, sir."
Shuichi smiled at me in greeting, and I shyly smiled back at him before turning back to the lesson.
"Today, class, we will be just taking notes on the different elements on the Periodic Table. These notes are in your Advanced Chemistry textbooks. Miss Ukaji, feel free to share Mr. Minamino's textbook."
"Yes,sir."
Shuichi opened the textbook and we both began copying down the notes from Chapter 1: The Periodic Table. While taking down the notes, I noticed Shuichi smiling at me.
"We haven't formally met. I am Shuichi."
"Hello. I'm Rin. It's nice to meet you."
"How are you enjoying your first day so far?"
"It's okay. It'll take some time to get used to it,though."
He smiled and laughed silently, making sure not to draw any attention.
"I know what you mean. I felt the same way on my first day here. Feel free to ask me anything you need to know."
"Um, sure. I'll keep that in mind."
After we finished writing down the notes, the teacher gave us the rest of class to mingle and chat. I got my sketchbook out of my backpack and began to draw the front of the classroom.
Kurama's POV:
As Rin began to sketch in her book, I smiled as I saw her draw the front of our classroom. She saw me looking and blushed slightly, trying to hide what she was drawing.
"Rin, no need to hide it. I think your sketch looks just fine."
"It's...not even done yet. I'm just working on a basic sketch."
"It still looks fine. Really, I mean it."
Rin smiled and continued to sketch. As soon as the bell rang, she put the book in her backpack and headed out the door. Just before she left, I glimpsed at her schedule and saw she had two other classes with me: Advanced Literature and Art. I smiled at the prospect of seeing her again, pleased with the first impression I got of her. When lunchtime came around, I walked outside to the school's inner courtyard to see Rin was eating underneath one of the school's apple trees, shyly waving as people said hello to her. I walked up to her and she jumped slightly, apparently not expecting my presence.
"Oh, Shuichi. I didn't see you there."
"I apologize for startling you, Rin. I was curious as to why you're sitting here by yourself."
"Oh, I've always eaten by myself. It's something I've become accustomed to."
"Perhaps one of these days, I might be able to join you."
Rin smiled and blushed slightly, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her shyness. She nodded and placed a hand beside her.
"If you're not busy, you may sit with me now."
"Unfortunately, I must call my mother. I promised her I'd call her this afternoon. She isn't feeling well today and my phone calls usually lift her spirits."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Be sure to tell her hello for me."
Her request surprised me somewhat. I barely knew her, and yet she was asking me to tell my mother she said hello. I smiled at her politeness and nodded.
"I'll be sure to tell her when I talk to her, Rin. Enjoy your lunch."
"Okay. Bye, Shuichi."
As I walked away, I began to smile again at how a complete stranger asked me to tell my mother they said hello. Rin was coming across to me as the type of girl that started out shy at first,then slowly came out of their shell over time.
'I wonder what caused her to be so shy? Well, I suppose over time I will find out.'
That's a wrap for part 1. After arriving at Meiou Private Academy, Rin meets Kurama in Advanced Chemistry and has a brief conversation with him during lunch. Part 2 will begin in Kurama's POV as he talks with his mother, Shiori. Also in part 2, Rin discovers Kurama has Advanced Literature with her as well. Stay tuned to see what happens
