The bus came to a stop, and I got up, walking in tune and humming to the music playing on my iPod. Jumping off the three steps, I stand facing the bus stop, and behind it, a park. According to my map, which is a miracle enough that remembered to bring it, an then being able to read the horribly drawn map…

I sigh, and mumble to myself, as I usually due. First they make me move, but at least it was to Japan, somewhere new, then they expect me to wake up early for school after making me unpack almost all night? Darn grandparents…

At least my friends will be coming with me, even if that's a week ahead. It'll be something.

Walking through the park, a bundle of pink catches my attention from the corner of my eye, and next thing I know, I'm underneath someone on the ground. Darn karma, just 'cause I put hot sauce in my dad's coffee…

"Get off!" I push the person off, I wasn't in a good mood to start off with, and this isn't helping me.

"Ok, ok!" The weight was lifted from me, and I could breath again…Ok so I exaggerated, it fit the moment, "Shesh, not a morning person are you?"

"What do you think, pinky?" I rub the back of my head, and just speak. Oops, there goes first impressions, though it probably wouldn't matter with me, I'm me all the time, excluding the mornings.

"Pinky?" 'Pinky' exclaims, "Who do you think you are?"

"I think I'm Miki Koyabashi," Holding out my hand out to shake in greeting, which he does, "See how I did that? I'm so smart."

"Well, 'Miki Koyabashi'-san, I'm Marui Bunta," he points out my school uniform, "Rikkai Dai's own ten-"

Walking off towards the school, I completely ignoring him and just wanting the day to end so I could nap, or just get somewhere nice and quiet…

"Hey! Wait!" 'Marui Bunta' calls out and chases after me.

Reaching the school gates, I marvel at the size, "Oh my gosh! It's so big!"

"Hmm?" Marui turns and looks at me, "Well, I gotta get going, have to get to pract-"

"No your not," I drag him off towards some random direction, "You're helping me around."

"Wai-"

"To the front office!"

The familiar sound of tennis balls against rackets echoed in the school tennis courts. A capped boy, obviously looking older than he's ought to be, looks at his wrist watch, impatiently tapping his foot.

"Marui is late," a blue haired beauty states the obvious, while shaking his head in disappointment, "Tsk. We can't start with him, but we'll fall behind if we don't…"

"We have no choice, Yukimura," the capped boy responds, trying to stop himself from rubbing his temples in irritation.

The other regulars didn't seem to have a care in the world, aside from the capped boy, the blue beauty, the purple haired gentleman, the strange one with the notebook, and the bald one, leaving only the silver haired and black haired boys to goof off, as usual.

"But!" an unfamiliar voice in the distance calls out, and the regulars, and most other tennis club members, turn to the source. They see a short black haired girl clinging to the arm of the absent tennis player, "You said you would!"

"No I didn't! You said I would!" Marui awkwardly responds.

"Same difference," she retorted, then pouted.

"No!" Marui desperately cries, "Let me go!"

A sudden blast of music echoes, and the girl let's go of Marui. He takes the chance and slips away, though he came to regret the decision when he saw everyone staring at him incredulously.

"Marui-sempai!" the black haired boy exclaims, "You got a girlfriend?"

"No!" Marui replied quickly.

"Then who's she?" the black haired boy asks, "An annoying fan girl?"

"Annoying I may be, but I'm not a fan girl!" the girl says bluntly, suddenly appearing beside the two, "At least not to this loser."

There were several chuckles within the audience, and Marui was about to retort something when the silver haired dud spoke.

"Loser?" his smooth voice broke into a fit of laughter.

"Yup," the girl responds indifferent by the glares she was receiving by said boy.

"Wh-who you think you are?!" Marui blushed red with anger.

"I told you before, Marui-kun, I think I'm Miki Koyabashi," she says, "And if I'm not, then I don't know anything anymore."

"Nice to meet you guys, by the way," she turns to Silver, Black, then to Bald, Cap, Brown, Purple, and Blue.

Feeling obliged to respond and introduce them selves. Black was 'Kirihara Akaya, Rikkai Dai's 8th grade ace', Silver was 'Niou Masaharu, puri', Blad was '', Cap was 'Sanada Genchirou', Brown was 'Yanagi Renji', Purple was 'Yagyuu Hiroshi, it's a pleasure to meet you', and finally, Blue was 'Yukimura Seiichi, (insert smile here)'.

"Can't I just call you guys by you're hair color?" Miki whines, "Remembering names is a hassle, and I'll forget anyways."

Before anyone could say anything, "Hey, Black! You're an 8th grader? What class do you have?"

Before anyone could say or do anything, she was already showing her class information to him (surprisingly enough, she found and went to the front office, scaring most of the office workers).

"Y-you're in my class," 'Black' responded after some time to think, "2-3, yeah my class."

"Cool," she turned to Marui, "She Marui-kun? Nagging the office workers paid off."

"I guess… " Marui just responded easily, and started to walk off.

"Say Black, do you mind showing me the way there?"

"Umm…" Kirihara looked over to any of his friends and teammates, pleading for help. The others, and Miki, just waited and watched for his response.

"Fine, I'll show you," Kirirhara grunted.

"Ok!" Miki jumped with joy, literally, "I'll just wait…at that tree over there I guess."

Standing in front of the closed door, I just stare on. I could hear 'Black's foot tapping impatiently. Sighing, and shaking off all my nervous feelings, I open the door. I was greeted by the cool air of the air conditioning hitting my face, noisy students, and a teacher desperately trying to control her students.

"Ah!" Sensei exclaims as she catches attention of the new student, me, "You must be Miki Koyabashi-san. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Such a relaxed teacher, oh well, "It's nice to meet you too."

Kirihara snuck his way to his seat in the back, and Sensei spoke once more, "I already set seating arrangements for you and your friends. Please take a seat in the back corner, it's nearest the door."

I do so, then chuckle as I remember how he acted in the back corner near the door, how ironic. This is going to be an interesting school year.

Prepare Rikkai, for your worse nightmares are coming true, soon enough.
