Sonoda Umi, Otonokizaka High, 2nd-year student. A member of the Archery club and proficient in Kendo. A childhood friend of Minami Kotori & Kousaka Honoka, µ's physical trainer and Lyricist.
"Umi-Channnn~~!" a voice called from behind. Umi turned in response to the voice. It was Kotori, waving to her whilst walking in through the school gates. Next to her was Honoka, with her smile ever plastered on her face.
"Ah, Kotori, Honoka", Umi smiled to her childhood friends,"Good morning you two. It's still early, wanna go find the rest?" With bright enthusiasm, the two agreed, and the trio headed to the club room.
BAM."GOOD MORNING!" Honoka greeted everyone in the room as she slammed the door open. The girls in the room jumped from the shock caused by the door.
"Honoka! It's too early in the morning to be scaring people!" Umi scolded and planted a knife hand strike square onto Honoka's head. With Honoka holding her head in pain, she dragged her into the room and planted her into a chair, placed their stuff neatly in a corner, and took a seat. Whilst the girls were conversing, Umi noticed Eli and Nozomi were not present.
"Eli and Nozomi are busy?" Umi enquired.
"Yea, they had to settle some documents before school starts, apparently for a transfer student", Nico confirmed,"She is a 2nd year too, maybe she will be in your class, hmm?"
"Who knows, let's be sure to treat her good if she is yeah?" Umi replied. Kotori and Honoka nodded in agreement. The group spend the next ten minutes before class in the club room conversing and discussing.
"Be right back, toilet break", Umi got up and headed for the restrooms. Casually walking down the corridor, she turned towards the door to the restrooms. SLAM! Before she could pull open the door, someone swung the door open straight into her face.
"Gargh!" Umi exclaimed, grabbing her face in pain as she stumbled backwards and leant against the wall.
"O-Oh gosh. I-I-I-I'm so s-s-sorry!" A sweet, high-pitched voice apologised. Through blurred vision, Umi could make out a girl, about her height, and size, frantically spewing out gibberish. Her long, teal coloured hair extended down behind her calves, with the sides pulled back and tied to the top of her head, held up by a pleasant pink ribbon, keeping her hair nice and neat behind her head.
"I-I'm fine, don't worry about me", Umi finally replied, still groggy from the impact.
"Y-you sure? Y-you are s-still b-bleeding from your nose…" the girl inquired with a nervous tone.
"I've taken worse", smiled Umi, "Haven't seen you around school before, are you a transfer student"
"Y-yeah, I just transferred today", confirmed the girl, "My name is Hatsune Miku, you are a 2nd year too?"
"I'm Sonoda Umi, and yes, I am a 2nd-year student too", Umi introduced herself whilst adjusting her ribbon, "Welcome to Otonokizaka Academy". Umi reached out her hand towards Miku.
Miku shyly shook her hand, "Thank you Sonoda-San, please take care of me. I'll… wander around the school, for now, to get used to the environment before classes start"
"Alright, catch you later, Hatsune-San", the two girls waved to each other, as they went their ways. So she is the transfer student, Umi thought while using the restroom, a little cutie, if not a little clumsy. Finishing up and washing hands and face, she hurried back to the club room.
"Umi-Chan, you took a while…" Kotori asked Umi as she returned.
"Had a little incident in the bathroom, no biggie", Umi assured, "we should head to class, school bell is about to ring"
The girls agreed. They packed their belongings and headed towards their classrooms. Everyone in their seats, the ring of the school bell signals the start of the day. As the class settles down, the teacher addresses the class.
"Good morning class, starting from today, we have a new student joining us", she started, "She just transferred from another school, do treat her well, alright? Come on in and introduce yourself, my dear". She gestured for her to enter the classroom. As Umi expected, Miku shyly entered the classroom. She stepped up to the front to introduce herself.
"H-hello class, I-I'm Hatsune Miku, p-please take me under your care", she introduced herself. A murmur spread throughout the class. Miku, unsure what to think, took a quick scan of the class. Then, she saw Umi, her face lightened up immediately.
"Well done my dear, welcome. Go ahead and choose a seat", the teacher said. With a seat clear next to Umi, Miku knew her decision.
"I'll take the seat next to Sonoda-San", Miku replied, while smiling widely at Umi. Whispers started to spread among the classmates, as they turned and looked over at Umi, who has started blushing from the stares.
"Seems you made friends already. Have a seat", the teacher nudged Miku. Miku happily went over and took her seat.
"Alright class, settle down, let us begin", the teacher started the lesson. Umi smiled over to Miku, who was gleaming happily back. She really is adorable, Umi thought, shy, fragile and cute, looks like this is the start of an interesting relationship.
