*ding ding ding*

My heart was pounding furiously in my chest.
It's the first day of school and I'm already late!

I am Mokazawa Umi. I am blond with turquoise eyes. I am 15 years old but I still look like a cute little girl. I was born and raised in England. My school status was cool but not popular My mom is sent me to Japan where my father is because she thinks I need to get to know him more. Truth is, I am really close to my dad and we mail all the time.

I went to my class and stood outside the door. D-1 is what the sign said. I let out a sigh of release when I heard sensei still explaining what is going to happen. I'm guessing that I sighed too loud because after I did, she called me in. I slid the door open and stepped inside of the classroom. We were on the 2nd floor so the sun shined brightly through the windows.I went to the front of the room and stood before the class.

Hello. I am Mokazawa Umi. I am pleased to meet you and I look forward to working with you all for the rest of the year. I bowed to my class. The boys were all staring at me...it kind of felt uncomfortable. It was probably their first time seeing a transfer student from England... Or I'm just so cute that they are all head over heals for me :P

Mokazawa-chan, you will be sitting in the empty desk next to Fujimuri-kun in the back. I looked and there was a boy waving at me. I smiled and went to my new seat. I got out my supplies and settled in.

"Hello! I'm Ryuuji Fujimuri, Ryu for short. Nice to meet you Umi-chan!" the boy said with a wide smile on his face.

I looked at him and smiled. "Hello... So Fujimuri-san, how does sensei run things in the classroom?" It was my first day so I knew absolutely nothing..

"She just tells us to get our stuff out and then starts her lesson. Right now we are doing math." he explained

"Oh. Ok! Thank you for informing me." I got out my math book, notes, calculator, and my pencil case. Although I had my stuff, I didn't feel like I was fully prepared. I was probably still getting used to japan... It's only been 3 days since i moved. I just need to shake it off~ I was hoping that I would meet a lot of new people; have a fresh start! I think that life in Japan will suit me...

*riiinnnggg*

Class was finally over... Even though all I did was stare out of the window, I was exhausted! It was lunch time.. My dad hadn't given me any money so I made me own lunch. I opened my bento and looked at the food. Tamago, octopus shaped sausages, chicken, veggies, and rice. Just like a normal Japanese student right? I got out my chopsticks. ITADAKEMASU! I took a tamago and put it in my mouth. It was sweet~ When I reached out to get another, a pair of chopsticks beat me there. It was Ryu's. He put the tamago in his mouth and smiled. "It's good!" His compliment made me feel really happy. I smiled a little shy smile. Ryu looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh! You're actually really cute!" I blushed so much that I could feel myself burning up...
t-thank you...

*oi Ryu!*
Ryu turned around and went back to his friends. I could tell they were talking about me because a few of them were staring at me. I just calmly continued to enjoy the rest of my lunch...

The day went by really quickly. The last bell had finally rung and everyone was packing up. I, on the other hand, was walking around because I wanted to find the photography club. I loved taking pictures and I was pretty good at it.. I was going door to door until I realized that this wasn't working.

I went to the school office and asked them where it was. They said to go to room A-2 so I followed their directions. I opened the door and there he was. He was looking at his camera until he noticed I was there.. "Oh! Hey Umi-chan!" I sweat dropped...
It was Ryu... It felt like wherever I was, he was there too... It's not like I disliked him but he was a very childish person.. "Hi
Fujimuri-san..." I said again for the 10 billionth time. He smiled his gleaming smile and tilted his head a little so that his light, blond hair could shift.

"So...(trying to break the silence) is this photagraphy club?" I asked...

"Yep! This is it!" He replied

"Where are the other members?"

"There are none just me... But now you!"

"Are you serious? How is there no one in the club?"

"I don't know. I ask myself that everyday..." he said with a confused look on his face

I looked around the empty classroom... It made me sad to think that no one else enjoyed taking pictures..
"Ma ma, don't look so sad. It'll still be fun with just the 2 of us!"

I acknowledged his positive spirit. "You're right! Fujimuri-san, lets have fun together!"

And that was how my day ended. I made a new friend and got to be in photograph club. It turns out that I kinda like school in Japan.. It is different but it's still fun. I can tell that I am going to have a fun time!

THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL~

*sound of raindrops hitting the roof*

It was raining today. I was in a rush and I forgot to bring my umbrella. It started pouring halfway through my walk to school. I ran as fast as I could to school but I was still drenched. My hair, clothes, bag were all wet. Now I'm in my classroom and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.. I went to my desk and plopped into my seat. Of course I had to sit next to the most energized guy in our class. He was also the most popular guy. And the most good looking guy... I wonder how I am going to live through this... I sighed and laid back in my chair.

"Umi-chan. Are you okay? You don't look so well!" Ryu said with his innocent little voice.

"DO I LOOK OK?! I DRENCHED WITH COLD, DISGUSTING RAIN WATER AND YOU ASK ME IF I'M OK?! LIKE HEEL I'M OK!" all my anger rushed out at him. I looked at him with his half scared, half shocked face.

"I'm sorry..." He said

"Don't be. It's my fault. I just yelled at you for no reason and you were worrying about me." I said in a guilty way.

"If you want, I can let you borrow one of my hoodies." Ryu offered. "I always bring one just in case. I didn't get really wet so you can borrow it."

"That would help a lot! Thank you Fujimuri-san!" I said.

Ryu ran to get his hoodie. He gave it to me and I went to the bathroom to put it on. As I was running to the bathroom I bumped into some girls.

"I'm sorry." I said after I bumped into them. They looked familiar. They were in my class. It was Miyuki-san and Toma-san!

"Good morning Miyuki-san and Toma-san. I need to go to the bathroom so please excuse me." I said while I was trying to get around them. As I was about to get around, one of them grabbed my arm. I looked back in confusion. There, Miyuki was looking down upon me.

"What happened to your hair!" she exclaimed.

"I-I got wet in the rain.." I explained. She took me by the arm and bolted down the hall to the bathroom. Then she brushing my hair with her fingers. It was really knotted because of the rain and my curls.

"Uh, Miyuki-san? What are you doing? It kinda hurts" I asked.

"Beautiful hair like yours shouldn't be wasted!" she told me.

Now she was doing something crazy with my hair. It was covering my face. I'm guessing she was trying to dry it by flopping it everywhere. Toma entered the bathroom and asked Miyuki to stop.

"Miyuki stop it now. You're bothering her." Toma said. Miyuki wouldn't listen. A dark aura came leaking out of Toma.

"Did you hear what I said? STOP!" Toma yelled. Instantly my hair stopped moving and so did Miyuki-san.

"Thank you." Toma said with a satisfied look on her face. " Hello Umi-chan! Nice to meet up with you! I'm sorry if we bothered you. You see, Miyuki likes helping people and she hates messy hair. So I think you can figure out why she took you."

I glanced back at Miyuki and saw her shyly smiling. I giggled a little bit.

"We really wanted to meet you Umi-chan! You were a new student from England and we wanted to be your friends! I hope that we get along well!" Toma said.

That was the first time anyone had said that they wanted to be friends with me!" I hope We become great friends!" I said with a smile.

I noticed that when Miyuki and dragged me to the bathroom, my clothes became dry. I went back to the class with my Toma and Miyuki and returned the hoodie back to Ryu. It was only my second day at school and I had already made 3 friends. This was a great accomplishment! I enjoyed the rest of my day and came home with excitement. I couldn't wait for school!

The End of Chapter 1 ^^ please review :)
