A/N: Sorry to interrupt the flow of the story, but one of the authors would like to suggest something. Asterisk Truly has taken time out of her productive (not) life to pick out chapter titles which are also songs. If you play them you might notice the way they mesh with the mood. If you need more info on a song, they'll be in the profile!!
Chapter 2
"Class…CLASS!" Mr. Mikami shouted over the excited homeroom, the students were hearing rumblings about there being new students…and one of them was supposed to be from…(GASP!) AMERICA! Once again Mr. Mikami tried to get the students' attention, "CLASS! PLEASE!" they quieted down, "thank you. I have some new students to introduce- Please come in girls-" The boys started nudging each other, apparently there was to be some new eye candy around the school- hey! The girls had gotten theirs when that new kid Yuta had transferred.
Anyway, when Mr. Mikami had told them to, the two new students opened the door, and entered the room- once again there was a (GASP!) from the crowd of students.
The new students were…dressed interestingly to say the least. One of them was wearing what looked to be a black hat with cat ears on it and had silver hair with baby blue streaks randomly thrown all over- that one was at least wearing the school uniform (sort of), which consisted of a ridiculously short skirt but she wore a black and white t-shirt with a cat in the middle with the classic saddle shoes/sneakers choice of footwear, and strangely enough, she also wore a black collar with a golden bell attached to it around her neck and lace arm warmers; also, she carried a patchwork cat with her. The other of the new girls was wearing something less conventional. For starters she was not wearing saddle shoes or sneakers, but bright green high-tops. She had also changed the skirt option; she had opted for extending the skirt by attaching a ribbon of lace to the bottom of the super-short skirt so as that the skirt was closer to her knees, covering her fishnets a little more. Thankfully she had kept the traditional long-sleeved polo shirt, otherwise the student body might've reached sensory overload.
Most of the classroom full of students was too busy taking in their outfits to notice that these two new students were the same mysterious pair which had caused a scene earlier that morning.
"Ms. Shay, Ms. Nomumora," Mr. Mikami said, gesturing first to the girl with green high-tops then the cat-hat girl, "please find some seats please. May I suggest the ones next to Ms. Sakura and Mr. Kaji. But first- Would you like to introduce yourselves. May I suggest starting off with your names?"
The girl in the cat-hat blinked in confusion and looked at the teacher, "But you already know my name nyaa."
Mr. Mikami muttered, "Uh…well…yes. The rest of the class doesn't," then returning to his normal tone, "Why not tell us your likes, dislikes and dreams for the future?"
She tapped her chin in thought, while the other girl tried to laugh indiscreetly, "Nyaaaaaaaaaa….I like lotsa things……..I dislike even more, and my dream….I never really thought about it, nyaa."
Before Mr. Mikami could even start to address them, Ms. Shay stood and air quoted as she spoke, " 'Ms. Shay.'"
The two girls shuffled over to their seats, Ms. Shay to the seat behind Tetsushi and Ms. Nomumora to the seat next to Nina.
Nina eyed the girl next to her warily; after all, she had been slapped by that same new girl earlier this morning. Tetsushi, on the other hand, was friendlier, he asked Ms. Shay politely, "Shay, that's an odd name, it isn't Japanese is it?"
"No," she responded with a smile gracing her features, making the eyes behind her cat's-eye glasses crinkle, "it isn't, it's Irish in derivation."
"Interesting… You accent too, you aren't Japanese are you?"
"To put it simply, no" and that was all she was able to respond, because, just like that- homeroom was over.
