Chapter 1- New Year, New People!
Ayumi pushed open the front doors to the school. It was a particularly cold day in April, so she was wearing a grey wool coat, along with a gray wool scarf, and gray wool gloves.
As she entered the school, she embraced the warmth. The warmth she missed so much. Though she had no friends, she had a reputation she needed to uphold. She gently knocked on the door of the principal's office.
"Come in!" She heard him call.
Entering the office, the principal, a middle-aged man with a beard, whisked around in his chair to face her.
"Ah. Shinozaki-San! I am so glad you are here. And I'm very sorry for stealing you away on a Saturday, especially, your last Saturday of vacation. I'm hoping you are enjoying it."
Ayumi smiled. "It's okay Principal Fukuhara, and yes, I am enjoying my summer, thank you."
"Well, I don't want to keep you too long so let's get to the point." He took out six files.
"We have six new students joining us this year, and here's the surprise."
Ayumi furrowed her eyebrows. What was he talking about?
Fukuhara continued, "They're all in class 2-9."
Ayumi shifted in her seat.
"Why… why would you put all six students in the same class?"
"I am not the one who arranged the students into their classes, but, since they are all in your class, I want you to take care of them, guide them, and maybe show them around. Help them if they need it, understood?"
Ayumi sighed.
"Understood Principal Fukuhara."
Ayumi then stood up, grabbing the files with her left hand, she held out her right hand for him to shake. He smiled and shook it.
"I look forward to seeing you again, Class Representative Ayumi Shinozaki. Enjoy your last day of summer."
"Thank you, Principal, I will."
And with that, Ayumi exited the school, the cold air hitting her face like needles. When she reached her house, she cleared everything off the kitchen table, replacing them will the student files. She opened the first.
'Mochida, Satoshi'
It involved everything; his hobbies, likes, dislikes, personality, and traits. It also involved a picture of a boy with light brown hair, brown eyes, and a kind, I'm-a-friendly-guy smile. He was actually very handsome.
"Cute."
Ayumi jumped to the sound of her sister, triggering Hinoe to laugh.
"Hinoe! You scared me!" Ayumi said, with her hand on her heart. She noticed how dressed up her sister was. "Why so fancy?"
Hinoe looked at her clothing. She was wearing a cute white dress, with a rose design. The sides of her hair came together in a braid, and the back was down and curly.
"I, unlike you," Hinoe began, taking note of her younger sisters grey wool clothing (that she still had on), "actually try to look pretty!"
Ayumi glared at her.
"Haha, now what's the real reason?"
Hinoe smiled, "I have a date, and he's picking me up for dinner." She said dreamily.
"Well, I'm sure you'll amaze him with your looks. But being this pretty, he better bring you a flower!" Ayumi complimented. Hinoe smiled.
"Thank you." She said, "Now, what are you working on, Class Rep? And how'd your talk with the principal go?"
Ayumi handed her Satoshi's file.
"These are the files for the six students who are joining the school."
The older sister looked confused on why Ayumi emphasized the word 'six'.
Ayumi continued, "All six kids are going to be in class 2-9."
Hinoe raised her eyebrows.
"Why all in the same class?" She asked.
"Well, the principal didn't know why either, but since I'm the Class Representative, I have to take care of them!"
Hinoe laughed, "And that's why I was never class rep!"
They heard a knock on the door.
"There's my date!" Hinoe cheered.
Ayumi looked at the clock. "He's taking you out for dinner at 1:00 in the afternoon?"
"He works nights, so it's more of a lunch date." She said before leaving the room. Ayumi could hear the conversation. He said 'You look beautiful!', then they talked about lunch and stuff before Hinoe said 'Hold on, I need my purse!'.
She re-entered the room and grabbed the green bag left on the table. Ayumi looked up and noticed the red rose in her sister's hand. She smiled at her.
"He was prepared for my beautifulness!" She dreamily said.
"Have a good date, Sis!"
Hinoe smiled before leaving again.
"Onii-chan!" Yuka yelled, practically tackling her older brother.
He laughed and picked himself and his sister off the ground.
"Are you ready for your first day of your new school?" Satoshi asked, while eyeing his sister's blue dress.
"Yes! Are you going to walk me to school?"
Satoshi smiled, "Of course!"
Yuka giggled in response.
"Alright then, let's go to school!" He said, swinging his uniform's grey coat over his shoulder.
Yuka slipped on her shoes and grabbed her bag, slinging it back and forth while her brother opened the door and they both left for school.
"Onii-chan, you're going to be late!" Miki yelled.
"That's fine with me!" the blonde boy yelled back.
The younger girl snarled. "Whatever, you won't get breakfast then! Eggs and bacon, it's your favorite!"
Immediately the boy ran down stairs, his clothes all funky.
The girl sighed. "Oniichan, your shirt's on backwards, and you're missing your jacket… and pants."
Yoshiki looked down before quickly pulling his pants on, fixing his shirt, and putting on his jacket.
"Are you ready for your new school?" She asked as she dished the eggs onto his plate.
"No. You?"
"Yes, and you should be too! I know you had no friends in your last school, but you can change that! This is the year you experience what a teenage boy needs to! Stop being that super mean delinquent! Do you understand?"
Yoshiki was thoroughly shocked.
"I am amazed at how adult-like you are!"
Miki laughed, then looked at the time.
"You need to go! Have a good time at school! MAKE FRIENDS!" She shouted as he shut the door.
He sighed, "Friends, huh."
As all the kids flowed into the school, Ayumi stopped in front of it.
"I can do it… I am the Class Rep…" She told herself, inhaling and exhaling.
"Nervous one your first day? I am too."
Ayumi whipped around to see another girl, with brown hair that was styled into two curls on the side of her head. She had a wide smile on her face. She jumped down next to Ayumi.
"Seiko Shinohara, nice to meet you!" She said holding out her hand.
"Ayumi Shinozaki, you too." Ayumi replied, shaking it.
"So you're the Class Rep, huh?" Seiko asked.
Ayumi blinked in confusion. "Wha- How? How did you know I was the Class Representative?"
Seiko looked off dramatically, "I can do it… I am the Class Rep!"
Ayumi laughed, "Oh yeah, I guess I forgot about that… Well, since you are one of the new students, I am going to be guiding you and five other students through your first day of school, understood?"
Seiko laughed, "Understood!"
"Hello class! For those who do not know me, I am Yui Shishido, your teacher! As many of you know, we have a few new students joining us this year, class, I'd like you to meet Satoshi Mochida, Naomi Nakashima, Seiko Shinohara, Mayu Suzumoto, Sakutaro Morishige, and Yoshiki Kishinuma!" Mrs. Yui called, as they all stood up.
"I'd also like to re-introduce our class representative, Ayumi Shinozaki!" Ayumi stood up. "She will be guiding the new students."
Mrs. Yui kept talking about herself and what they will be learning for the rest of the class until the bell rang. The class shuffled out as Mrs. Yui held back the seven students.
"New students, this is Ayumi Shinozaki, she is the class representative, and she will be guiding you." Mrs. Yui stated once more.
"Hey everybody, I'm Ayumi and right now it's lunch time, so I will show you to the cafeteria." She said, waving her hand for them to follow. She lead them into a huge room, with tables everywhere, and boothes on the walls. She pointed to a large line of students.
"That's the lunch line, the lunch ladies will help you from there. If you brought your own lunch, just sit wherever, okay?"
They all nodded they split up; Yoshiki, Satoshi, Morishige, and Naomi went into the lunch line, while Seiko, Ayumi, and Mayu brought their own lunch.
"Um…" Mayu said shyly. Ayumi and Seiko, who were going to sit next to each other, turned around.
"Is it alright if I… if I… sit with you?" She asked with her head down, avoiding eye contact.
Ayumi smiled (Seiko smiles 100% of the time), "Of course you can!"
Immediately, Mayu's expression changed from fear, to happiness. The three girls picked a booth that (thankfully) wasn't taken. Ayumi watched as Naomi took a seat with some friends she made during class. Satoshi also took a seat with the 'cool kids' (figures). She watched as Yoshiki took his lunch out of the cafeteria. Seiko noticed this as well.
"He doesn't seem the 'friendly' type." She stated.
"No…" Ayumi replied in a spaced-out way.
Morishige made his way up to the table. He pushed up his glasses before asking, "May I sit here? I don't know anyone else."
"Of course." Mayu said.
"So," Seiko began, "what is there to know about you two?"
"Well I-" Mayu began, but was cut off.
"Guys, I need to use the bathroom." Ayumi said, continuing to stare at the door.
"O-Okay?" Seiko said, confused at her friend's behavior.
Ayumi slid out of the booth and walked out of the cafeteria.
"As I was saying earlier, I love acting, and I'm going to join the drama club!" Mayu said happily.
"Wait, you like drama?" Morishige asked.
"Yeah, I love it actually!"
"I love drama too!" Morishige practically yelled.
Mayu gasped and they went into a whole conversation about their fourth grade play.
Seiko sighed, 'I know where Ayumi really went…'
"I thought I would find you here." Ayumi said, as the wind wooshed through her hair.
Yoshiki whipped around and rolled his eyes.
"Oh... you…"
Ayumi sat next to him on the bench on the roof.
"Why are you up here?" She asked.
He uncomfortably scooted away from her.
"Why do you care?" He mumbled.
"It's my job as class representative, and as a friend to know why you're alone and not eating lunch with anyone else downstairs."
"Did it ever occur to you that I don't want to eat with anyone else?" He asked.
"Of course it did. But I don't think it's because you want to eat alone, but it's that you have no one to eat with."
"Whatever, piss off!" He shouted angrily.
"Look, I made my first few friends today, and I know that you can make some friends too." She said soothingly. She put her hand on his.
Angrily, he yanked his hand away and stood up, looking down on her.
"Well maybe I don't want friends, huh? Stay out of my business and leave me alone. I don't need help from a nobody like you!" He shouted before storming off, leaving Ayumi sad and alone on the cold deserted roof.
