"Mai! I missed youuuuuu~ " A girl with green hair came running towards me and hugged me.
"Sakaki! It's been so long since I've last met you! 5...6years maybe? " I said, hugging my childhood friend back.
"I'm really glad that you finally decided to transfer to Iwatobi High. I was starting to get lonely. But...you really came at a weird time, you know. School just started a few weeks ago and you transfer here now. " She lets go of me.
"It can't be helped. My parents kept nagging at me to study here. Seeing as my brother is the next successor of my father's bussiness, he wanted me to study in a better school and get a better job instead of doing it back at my hometown. "
"Huh, it must be tough on you. Where do you live then? "
"Father rented me a place near a beach, though I don't know what it's called there. He said that the owner of the place is out travelling with his wife, so it's only his son living there now. " I shrugged as I look around the school. "Anyway, enough about me. They told me that my homeroom teacher is...Amakata sensei? "
"Ahh...You mean Ama-chan? She's probably in the teacher's office now. I can't give you a tour right now because I need to get to my club meeting now, but I'll take you there. Just in case you're curious, I'm in the manga club. " She said as she started walking in the school building. I followed behind her.
"We're here! Ama-chan's the one that has a shoulder-length brown hair. " She looked around her and came close to me and whispered "She looks really kind but actually...she's kinda weird. " She took a few steps back and started walking away while waving her hand lazily at me. "Good luck! "
"A weird homeroom teacher...I don't really feel comfortable about that. " I went in the teacher's office and started looking for a woman that has brown hair. Ah, that must be her! I went over to her and saw her scolding four boys.
"Seriously, how many times have I told you guys not to go into public swimming pools at night without permission- Oh, who are you? " She turned around from the four boys and looked at me.
"Ah! Don't worry about me. Please, continue your scolding to these four good looking boys that looked kinda guilty, except for the blond haired kid there. He looks like he would do the same thing again later in the future. " I said pointing at them.
"What?! Na-Nagisa! Promise me that you would never do that again- W-wait, I'm asking who you are. And, why am I taking advise from my student? Student...Ah! You must be the new transfer student! Mai Mizushima! " She looked at me with wide eyes.
"Well, took you long enough. "
"Did you say something? "
"Nothing. "
She sighs and gave me a small book with the Iwatobi High on it. "That's the school's handbook, the school rules, functions, clubs etc. are all written in there. And as for you four... " She turned to face the four students. "I'll let go of Nagisa and Rei for now, but Haruka and Makoto. You two are their senpai, you two should know better about what's right or wrong. " She stood up and crossed her arms.
"Sorry. " They said simultaneously and bowed.
"Haruka and Makoto, as your punishment, you guys will have to take Mai here for a tour around the school during homeroom. She's in the same class as you and bring her back to your class when you're done. "
"You're just saying that because you don't wanna give the tour to her yourself, right Ama-chan? " The blond haired student said as he ran out of the office before Ama-chan could hit him in the head.
"Ahh! Nagisa! " Another student wearing a pair of red glasses ran after him.
"Hahah... Nagisa is still the old Nagisa huh. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Makoto Tachibana and this is my friend, Haruka Nanase. Looks like we're classmates from now on. " The student called Makoto smiled at me and as I glance at the other student, Haruka, he doesn't even look at me.
"Nice to meet you, Makoto. You don't mind me calling you on a first name basis, do you? Sorry, I just don't like formalities. "
"O-oh. Not at all, you can call me anyway you like. In any case, shall we get started? "
Makoto and Haruka showed me around the school...well, mostly Makoto. Haruka didn't say a word during the whole tour, he just followed us silently. We went back to class after the tour and Ama-chan told me to choose a club I want. I also found out that Sakaki's in the class next to mine.
"The swimming club? " I said slightly surprised hearing that Makoto and Haruka are in the swimming club. Class is over and I was asking Makoto about the clubs.
"Yes. We were wondering if you wanted to join. "
"Well... I have a fear of water. But I guess I'll join. " I said, a little unsure of myself.
"No need. " That's from Haruka. "We don't need people like you that took swimming lightly. " He stood up and was walking away when I stopped him in his tracks.
"No! I want in! Let me join the swimming club! I want to get rid of my fear of water! " I said confidently. Why I suddenly made up my mind in joining them? Probably because I was irritated at what Haruka said.
"Do whatever you want. " He walked out of the classroom.
I looked at his back in disbelief as Makoto comfort me. "He's not mad, you know. He just really loves swimming and wanted people to enjoy it. I'll give you the registration form tomorrow. You should go back for now, it's getting late. "
"...okay. "
I walked around the neighbourhood of the adress ny father gave me and finally found the place which will be where I'm staying from now on. I knocked on the door and waited. When the door opened, I saw Haruka standing there.
"H-Haruka?! "
"Mizushima? "
