Hikari glanced down at her phone nervously hoping for a text from her friend saying she would be there any minute. It was her third and final year before applying to college and she didn't want to make a bad impression on the first day of school; not to mention it would be horribly rude to everyone else for her to come in late. But not only was it rude, she's had this feeling of eyes staring at her since she got there and it was really starting to make her squirm. She flinched when the sound of bells echoed through the courtyard of the school, warning students that if they didn't report to their homeroom soon they would be tardy.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" She mumbled to herself, hastily running into the building, leaving the spot she and a couple friends agreed to meet on the first day.
She turned the corner of the hall when she bumped into somebody, making her and the person she ran into fall backwards, papers scattering everywhere. She lay on the floor dazed for a moment when a voice called out to her.
"Hey, are you alright?" The voice was deep and masculine signaling her it was a male's. She jolted up in her spot on the floor looking at the person she knocked into. It was her last class teacher, . Her face blushed bright red and she immediatly kneeled to the person.
"I'm extremely sorry! Please forgive me!" She scrambled to pick up the files of paper that had scattered on the floor from their fall, making the neatest pile she could before handing it back to her teacher. Before he could say anything, another apology flew from her mouth as she bolted to her classroom, red still stained on her face.
She threw the door open with a little more force than she meant to, making a bang that resonated within the room, gaining everyone's attention.
"It's nice to see you're eager to come to class. But please don't come in with as much enthusiasm next time. We don't want a hole in the wall at the beginning of the year." The teacher said in the most sarcassic voice anyone has probably heard. Hikari felt her face heat up again muttering a small sorry before taking an open seat in the middle of the room just as the bell rang saying class has started.
Hikari waited until break to start talking to the brunette next to her. "Where were you this morning, Makoto?" The brunette gave her a smug smirk to Hikari.
"We got bored of waiting so we left early. I have to admit, it was worth it though. To see you make such a fool of yourself coming in." Makoto let out a roaring laugh that got the attention of a majority of the class's attention. Hikari blushed at the attention, giving a pout to Makoto.
"You're so mean to me." Makoto stopped laughing and ruffled Hikari's brown hair.
"I know, but you stick with me so it can't be that bad." Hikari glared up at Makoto, but it wasn't very effective. Hikari swatted Makoto's hand away from her head and fixed her hair.
It wasn't until lunch that Hikari and Makoto could fully enjoy talking. A head of pink and blue appeared in the doorway. "Oi! Haruko! Ren! Come eat with us!" Makoto shouted to the two at the door.
"Why else would we come here? Idiot..." Ren said while walking smoothly over to the two girls with Haruko trailing behind.
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Makoto fumed at Ren.
"Only you of course, there isn't anyone with a lower I.Q. than your's in the group." Ren didn't even pause while insulting Makoto.
"Remind me again why I shouldn't beat you into the desk." Makoto felt a sharp pain in her side.
"The hell..." Makoto turned to her assaulter.
"No starting fights during lunch. Especially with one of your friends." Hikari scolded her. Makoto sat down in her seat with a huff.
They continued to eat lunch in moderate peace until the bell rang. Ren and Haruko waved goodbye and Hikari and Makoto sat next to each other until the teacher arrived in the classroom. The day continued as it normally would until the break before her last class. Hikari was slumping in her desk with her head down as the morning's events played in her head.
"You alright?" Makoto asked, very confused by her friend's behavior.
"No... Something happened with this morning. While I was turning a corner to make it to class on time, I ran into him. I fell, he fell, papers were everywhere. It wasn't a pretty sight." Hikari wished to disappear at this moment. The wish became even stronger when Mr. Uchiha walked into the classroom. He looked around the room and when his eyes landed on Hikari, he smirked as she shrunk into her seat even more. Mr. Uchiha looked at the seating chart the previous teachers left and called out to her.
"Hikari Aino, come see me after class." He said while turning his back to the class to write today's information on the board.
"You are in so much trouble." Makoto laughed at Hikari.
