I looked up and saw the Raimon sign. "It's been so long, I wonder if I ever find him."
I walked past the soccer field that was meant for the second team, but no one was practising. Raimon sure had changed the last few years.
I sighed. I missed playing soccer. "I wonder if I can still play, but of course my mother wouldn't allow it, because of the past and I would totally agree with her." My thoughts got interrupted by an unknown voice.
" Miss White, it is a honour to meet you." I looked at the principal and I knew I wouldn't like him.
" You can call me Amy and I don't see how it is an honour meeting me." I said annoyed. "Just because I am a young model doesn't mean that I am so important for your school."
I almost laughed at his face, he looked scared, awkward and confused at the same time.
"Could you show me my class, I am not here to chat." I knew I was being rude but I didn't really care right now.
I wasn't totally myself for the last 6 years, everyone who I met in America knew that but not the reason behind my strange behaviour. "O-of course, please follow me..." We walked through the school building when I started to get nervous. I was an exchange student, I was born in America but my family moved to Japan and we stayed there for 7 years so I'm able talk Japanese.
The reason behind my nervousness was because the school year already started and everyone had made friends. I would be lonely. An outsider.
"Here we are, you are in class 2-2. Do your best and make us proud, alright?" He looked at me.
I took a deep breath when the principal opened the door. "You get a new student, okay?" said the principal to the teacher who looked surprised.
"Her name is Amy white from America, please welcome her." I kept my eyes shut. "I can't, I can't, I can't, I..." I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the class. Everyone looked at me with interest.
I felt the weight lifted from my shoulders. "Yoroshiku onegai shimasu." Some guys blushed, but I was used to that. The teacher talked further.
" You can sit next to Shindou-san. Ah, Shindou." I looked in the class to see who was Shindou. A boy who had wavy greyish brown hair with brown eyes stood up. "hmmm, not bad looking. Is he from a rich family?"
"White-san, you can sit here" he pointed at the seat next to the window. "Hai, arigato." I smiled at him, and he smiled back. "Douitashimashite." And with that the lessons continued.
The class was finished and I was ready to eat my lunch when I was stopped by Shindou-kun. I looked up. "what is it, Shindou-kun?" He stood in front of my desk. "I'll be your guide for the next weeks." He rubbed his neck with his hand, not looking at me. "Ooh? And you do this because you wanted to?" I was teasing him. "look at him blushing, hihi." He stuttered. "N-no, sensei asked me to..."
I smiled. "Lead the way then."
When he said he would let me see the whole school he meant the WHOLE school. He showed me the pool, the baseball grounds, tennis grounds and track ground when we reached the soccer building. "Whoa, huge! Amazing!" I looked in awe. This building definitely changed in the past few years. I smiled "I remember the soccer club as a small building."
"We still have that building, but we don't use it anymore." He stood there in a thinking pose. "Right now it's more a relic" he smiled. "I am the captain of the first soccer team"
"EEEH?! I thought you looked more like a pianist, sorry..." I blushed. He laughed. Then I got reminded why I'm here. "By the way, why did you come to Raimon? Because of our soccer reputation?"
"No... Because I have to look for someone."
