A few moments after I stepped into Iwatobi High School, I found myself lost. The school itself is not huge, but it is significantly larger than my old school. Students were all in little groups of two to five, playing around. It seems like I'm just going to have to squeeze myself into one.
I centered the red bow tie around my neck as I walked down the halls.
"Are you lost?"
I turned around and saw a small girl with large eyes staring at me. Behind her was another girl who had red hair. Both of them also had red bow ties, meaning they were also first years.
"Hi? Well, kind of. Today is my first day." I replied quickly.
The girl laughed a little and smiled at me. "I can tell! What class are you in? We'll take you there. I'm Hanamura Chigusa, but G-Kou behind me calls me Hana-chan. You can call me that, too!"
"I'm in class two and my name is Yoshida Misaki. Thank you so much," I stopped for a second, "Hana-chan."
"Oh darn, we're in class one, but it's close! Follow me." Chigusa tugged on my hand and dragged me towards my class with a surprising amount of strength.
Kou followed behind us.
When we reached class two, Chigusa stopped and pointed inside. "This is your class and that," she pointed to another room across the hall, "is ours."
"I'm Matsuoka Kou, by the way." Kou said before leaving.
"Have fun in class! We'll see you during lunch." Chigusa added, waving goodbye.
'1-2' was written on the small wooden sign outside the room. With a small encouragement to myself, I stepped in. The class was probably a little more than half full. There were students on the desks talking to friends and others doodling in their own desks.
I greeted my teacher who welcomed me warmly. She got the attention of the students to introduce me. It was scary having so many unfamiliar eyes on me, but everyone seemed so friendly.
"Hello, I'm Yoshida Misaki. It's nice to meet everyone." I gave the class a small wave and a bow.
My teacher pointed to an empty desk and I made my way over.
To my right was a girl who smiled at me and to my left was a guy who bowed his head a little.
"I'm Ukita Mai. Welcome to Iwatobi." the girl said kindly.
Everyone so far has been really sweet to me. It was lunch time and I made my way out of the class to find Chigusa, but she was no where to be found.
"Yoshida-san." Kou called out.
"Hey! Kou, call me Misaki. We're friends, right?" I put my hand on her shoulder.
She had a surprised look on her face. "Oh? Oh, yeah! I'm sorry, you're just really friendly."
It was nice to have made a friend so quickly. I'm really glad I came here. Kou told me about how Chigusa just disappeared into thin air and that she couldn't find her.
"You can come eat with me and my other friends."
"Really? Thanks." I followed her up the stairs and to the roof. From the roof, you could see just about anything.
Her friends consisted of four guys. Two of them were second years and the other two were first years like me. One of them is in my class.
"You're Yoshida Misaki, right?" my classmate asked.
"Yeah, we're in the same class."
"Is Misa-chan going to eat with us now?" the other first year asked with beaming eyes.
I blinked a few times in shock. "Misa-chan?"
"Yes! I'm Hazuki Nagisa and that's Ryugasaki Rei. So you're in Rei-chan's class, right? That means you guys will probably get really close! Wow, I'm jealous." Nagisa rambled on, "Can I move into class two, too? It'll be so fu-"
Rei put his hand on Nagisa's mouth and pushed him down, but quickly let go. "What was that? Did you just lick me?"
Nagisa smiled a devious smile and nodded. "Your hand is salty."
"And you're gross."
I laughed lightly at the bickering two.
"You guys are arguing like a couple." I laughed.
Rei glared at me while Nagisa approved
"These two quiet ones," Kou put her hands on the other guys' head and patted rather roughly, "This one is Nanase Haruka and this one is Tachibana Makoto."
The boy with black hair is Haruka and the one is brown hair was Makoto. All four of their looks were above average. They are a quite handsome group while a pretty and cute Kou topped them off. I never imagined to find such an attractive group of friends.
"Hey, Misaki. Is it ok if I call you that? It's nice to meet you. Is today your first day here?" Makoto asked.
His voice is warm and gentle, like my father's.
"It's fine. And yeah, today is my first day."
"Well then, welcome to Iwatobi High!" he patted my head softly. "Haru, aren't you going to welcome her?"
Haruka looked up at me and looked back down at his lunch. "I'm Nanase Haruka."
I smiled at him and opened my lunch although my heart kind of sank. It doesn't seem like he likes me very much. Maybe I can't just wedge my way into this group.
"Misa-chan, do you have any clubs you want to join?" Kou asked, putting a spoonful of rice in her mouth.
"I'm not sure. There isn't anything I'm really talented at." I sighed.
"You should join the swim club!" Nagisa shouted out.
"Use your inside voice." Rei scolded.
"But we aren't inside." Nagisa stuck out his tongue.
I laughed once again. The two of them were really adorable.
"I'm not sure. I can't really." My voice trailed off.
"Oh, I see. It's ok! We can teach you. All of us are in the swim club. I don't really swim though, I'm just their manager. Everyone is really good at swimming!" Kou suggested.
Actually, I felt pretty awkward. I didn't want to just come in and try to join them. I can't swim either. Inside my head, a whole debate went on. If I joined, I would make new friends and closer to them. It was tempting to say yes, but I really can't swim.
"Just come and see after school. Promise?" Nagisa whined.
After he bugged me for the rest of lunch, I finally gave in and promised him.
"Nagisa, calm down. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to." Kou said.
Nagisa cut in again. "Haru-chan can teach you! He's the best on the team."
"I only swim free." was Haruka's reply.
