It is morning at Seishun Gakuen and class is about to start. Suddenly the teacher announced something.

Teacher: Okay class, settle down. We have a new student today.

A student came in front of the classroom while the teacher is writing the name of the new student on the blackboard.

Rika: Good morning, my name is Rika Shoda.

Teacher: Rika, go to the vacant seat over there next to Horio.

Rika walked to her seat bowing her head so she can't see anybody looking at her. She reached her seat and then Horio suddenly talked.

Horio: Hi! My name is Horio and I have 2 years of tennis experience.

Rika: Oh… Nice to meet you.

Rika leaned to her left and saw our tennis prince who was daydreaming (Actually Rika is between Horio and Ryoma) then she lean to the blackboard.

Fast forward

It was recess time and everybody was enjoying his or her time except for Rika, who was lost. She went to the science lab, the canteen, and the gym. She can't find her classroom, and she only knows 2 of her classmates whose names are Ryoma and Horio. She was thinking on what is she going to do. Suddenly she reached the tennis courts and saw somebody sleeping in a tree. She was thinking if she could ask a question to him. She walked to him and disturbed his sleep. Then there she realized that the person who is sleeping is Ryoma. Rika disturbed his sleep by the figure of her shadow. And there she was, asking him a question.

Rika: Uhm, excuse me… May I ask where our classroom is?

Ryoma: It's on the second floor, walk straight and you'll see it.

Rika: Thanks.

Rika ran into her classroom but suddenly she bumped into somebody.

Rika: Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.

Sakuno: It's okay. Are you new here?

Rika: Yes, I'm new here. Actually I'm a bit lost. Do you know where class 1-B is?

Sakuno: Yeah, I know where it is. It's on the second floor. C'mon I'll show you.

Rika: Thanks. It's a lot of help.

Sakuno: Your welcome… Wanna be my friend?

Rika: Sure! I love to!

Rika's first day of school made her from shy to cheerful. Another day is coming and it will be fun for Rika!… well…almost.
