(Kiyoshi's P.O.V)
The day was usual as always. I always got up and had breakfast with my grandparents before leaving for school. Your average day. Often while walking, I would catch up with Hyuga, Izuki, and Riko. We walked together to school, but a specific person caught my attention. She wore our school's uniform, and she had long, red hair. On top of her head though, were wolf ears. Others eyed her differently, mostly with disgust and almost like they were taunting her. She looked to the ground as she walked, not wanting to meet anyone's gaze. Riko must've noticed my staring, as she left our group and jumped on that girl.
"Kakusei-chan!" She yelled out.
"Riko-chan!" The two girls stood there in a friendly embrace.
"What are you doing here?" Riko asked the girl. The girl played with her hair as she listened to Riko.
"I'm enrolling to Seirin starting today." She laughed. Something about that made my heart beat faster.
"Eh?" Riko continued to question her. "What about your guardian?"
"He stayed behind." She replied. "I'm currently living on my own."
"I can come by, right?" The girl nodded her head. While smiling, Riko noticed we were being left behind, so she caught up with us while holding the other girl's hand.
"Minna!" She shouted.
"What is it, coach?" Hyuga asked, eyeing the redhead with confusion.
"This is my childhood friend, Sayuri Kakusei-chan!" She introduced us. "She's enrolling into Seirin today." The girl still stuck close to Riko, but looked at all of us.
"It's nice to meet you." She smiled.
Hyuga and Izuki introduced themselves, and it was my turn.
"I-I'm Teppei Kiyoshi." I stuttered. "Nice to meet you, Kakusei-chan." Faint blush marks appeared on my cheeks as she gazed at me. She smiled and we all walked to class together.

Even though I was introduced to Riko-chan's friends, I was exhausted. I really hated transferring. It was such a pain.
I waited outside the class as Sensei tried to calm everyone down before introducing me.
I was introduced, and I had my seat right next to Kiyoshi-kun's.
