Everyone heard that there was a transfer student coming in this year. It was not so odd to have one few weeks after the start of second year, but people were still excided to meet one. Momoi of course was one of those people too, curious about where they are from, how do they look, what are their hobbies. She has pestered Daiki with those same questions despite his lack of enthusiasm. Truth to be said he was just as eager to get this over with so he could nap in peace. Momoi heard the teacher behind the doors talking to someone and she knew this was the moment she has been waiting for weeks!
'Morning everyone. As you may know we have a transfer student coming in today. Give her a warm welcome and be nice. Please come in.'
Momoi was instantly fascinated. The new student was gorgeous in her eyes. Pretty tall, black straight hair in a ponytail, lovely blue eyes that were slightly hidden by glasses. It was clear that she was a foreigner.
'Hello, it is lovely to meet you all. My name is Christina Mizushima. Please take care of me.'
'Well it is good to have you here. Take a seat next to Momoi, raise your hand.'
It did not take long for her to do that. The new student will sit next to her, she felt so lucky today! As the student sat down next to her she greeted her like any other person would.
'It is nice to meet you.' – Mizushima said with a smile and then the lesson started.
If Momoi noticed anything it was how polite and natural Mizushima acted that day. She answered all the questions asked by fellow students despite being crowded. Not once did she look scared or worried. It looked as if this was not her first experience.
It was after school that Momoi saw Mizushima walking in the corridor in front of her. Momoi was walking around doing her errands for the basketball club, but it could wait now as an opportunity came to talk to the new student. Obviously, she wanted to do this a lot earlier, but Daiki was not bothered and so they spend their break on the rooftop instead.
'Hello Mizushima, are you lost? I can help you find your way.' – Momoi thought this was a good start, it will give her time to ask her questions.
'You are Momoi right? Um… I don't think I'm lost. I was instructed to walk around today and see if there are any clubs that would interest me so I'm just walking around for today.'
'You know my name?'
'The teacher pointed you out in the morning.'
'That's right haha! Well I'm glad you remember my name. Why don't you join me for today? I am the manager of basketball club and got some errands to do, but I could show you around! – Momoi offered enthusiastically.
'Sure, if it won't bother you too much.' – Mizushima as always replied politely and with a smile.
'How do you find the school? It can be pretty tough to readjust, but I'm sure you'll fit in well.' – Momoi asked. On the way showing other clubs, she found out that Mizushima has moved from Germany and is currently living with her brother. As much as Momoi wanted to ask more, she didn't want to make her feel even more overwhelmed than she is now.
'Well everyone seems nice here so it shouldn't be a problem I think.' – Mizushima replied.
'You should join me for lunch tomorrow, in that case you can meet Daiki too! Oh and here we are, this is the basketball court as you can see. The boys prac-' – Momoi's sentence was interrupted by a ring.
'Sorry, it's my brother. Do you mind if I answer?'
'Not at all! I'll be inside so just come in when you're done.' Momoi answered and left to the gym. She was surprised to actually see Daiki training without her need to kick him off the roof or threatening to burn one of his magazines. A few minutes passed and Mizushima walked up to Momoi with an apologetic smile.
'I am so sorry Momoi, but it looks like I have to go. My brother wants to meet me and check how my day was.' – Mizushima said.
'It is no problem at all, I'm glad I got to show you around. Let's have lunch together tomorrow and maybe I'll help you to decide which club to choose!'
'That would be lovely. Thank you for your help today. I'll see you tomorrow then.' – The student replied and then walked off.
Momoi looked at her for few minutes and then went off to do some analysis for the next game.
She seems nice.
