Ayami woke up to the sunshine streaming through her window and onto her face. she rubes the crust from her eyes and smiles as she gets out of bed and opens the window and a fresh breeze of wind blows onto her face.

"The weather today is wonderful!" she says with excitement in her voice.

ayami glances at her clock and it's only 7:00 a.m

"good,I'm up early"

("my first day of high school and I can't be late")

she changes into her school uniform and ties her red hair into 2 ponytails, looks at herself in the mirror and heads downstairs for breakfast.

when she gets to the kitchen, she sees her grandfather sitting at the table, reading a newspaper, with coffee in his hand and her mother was making pancakes.

"goodmorning mom!" ayami says.

ayami mom's turns towards ayami but keeps flipping the pancakes she's making for breakfast.

"goodmorning,sweetheart!"

"you look sooo adorable in your school uniform!"

ayami beams with joy

"goodmorning,grandfather"

her grandfather looks up from his newspaper and gives ayami a smile.

"goodmorning my sukoshi ookami"

ayami giggles at the nickname her grandfather gave her when she was a little kid.

"grandfather, don't you think i'm getting too old for that nickname?"

"nonsense! you'll never get too old for that nickname!" he responded cheerfully.

suddenly ayami's mother sets a plate of pancakes in front of ayami.

"here you go sweetie,pancakes!"

"thanks mom"

her mom smiles.

ayami and her mother looked so much alike except ayami's mother had dark red hair that was put into one long braid and she had brown eyes while ayami had green eyes.

after ayami finishes her breakfast she grabs her school backpack.

"bye mom! bye grandfather! i'm going to head to school now!"

"okay sweetie, enjoy your first day and don't worry,you'll make friends in no time!"

ayami nods

"okay!"

she gets ready to bolt out the door when...

"AYAMI! WAIT!" her grandfather yelled to her.

"yes grandfather"

"I will pray to the great white wolf, so he'll protect you!"

ayami rolls her eyes

"oookay, grandfather"

"wait! should I give you a wolf spirit charm as well?"

a sweat bead hangs on ayami's forehead

"um that's okay, grandfather, i really don't need a wolf spirit charm!" she says nervously.

she finally leaves and heads to school.

ayami wasn't the type of person to believe in all that "great white wolf stuff" or anything to do with youkai's. she thought that was all myth or folklore and nothing more.

as she walks to school,she passes by a flower shop with iris's in one of the windows.

"OH MY GOSH! IRISES!" she jumped up and down like an excited 5 year old in a toy store.

she practically pressed her face into the window.

"ooohh! their sooo pretty!"

the irises colors ranged from blue,dark violet,and of course, purple.

ayami could never understand why she loved irises so much or why they were her favorite flowers.

"oh shoot! I have to hurry and get to school!" ayami gives a quick glance at the flowers before hurrying off to school.

10 minutes later, ayami is standing in the courtyard of the school and looks at her surroundings and takes in everything around her.

("wow look at all these students!")

("I'm even more nervous now!")

("just calm down ayami, you'll be fine")she reassured herself.

"hello, are you ayami tanaka?" a female voice said.

ayami turns around and sees 2 girls standing behind her. one girls had short dark brown her that was in a page boy hairstyle and the other had curly blue black hair. they both had the same uniform as ayami.

"yes i'm ayami tanaka"

"well then welcome! i'm aki!" the short haired girl said with a smile and cheerful tone.

"and i'm naomi!" the curly haired girl said with the exact same cheerful tone and smile.

"and we've been appointed as your 'tour guides' for the day by our teacher" naomi and aki said in unison.

"now come on!" naomi said, grabbing ayami's hand.

"we have alot to show you!" aki said,grabbing ayami's other hand.

they practically dragged ayami along with them as they explained stuff about studying,classes,teachers,and the student body itself. ayami just stared at them.

("wow! these girls seem realy nice and energetic!")

before ayami knew it they were standing in front of the entrance of the 1st year classroom.

ayami peeks in and sees a woman writing something on a chalkboard. The woman looked to be about 28-35 years old, she had darkbrown hair that went down her back. she wore a dark blue buisness suit with brown flat heeled shoes. she wore thin rimmed glasses.

the woman turns her head and sees ayami, she smiles.

"well hello there!, you must be ayami tanaka?, I'm "

"nice to meet you, "

"I see you've met aki and naomi, the 2 most nosiest girls in my class"

"hey!" naomi and aki say in unison

"they've been very nice to me" ayami says.

"well aki and naomi have always been nice girls they just 'GOSSIP' to much in class!" says while staring straight at aki and naomi.

aki and naomi have sweat beads hanging off their foreheads as they smile nervously.

" is a fun teacher but tough at times!" aki playful says.

"but no need to worry about ayami, ,cause from this day forward we'll be her best friends and guide her through each class" both aki and naomi place their wrap their arms around ayami.

"oh how nice of you two!" smiles.

("I can't believe it I have friends on my first day of school!") a small blush appears on ayami's face.

suddenly the school bell rings, signaling the start of class.

"now you girls better take a seat,class has begun" said before turning back to the chalkboard and finishing what she was writing.

ayami sits at the desk that was in between aki's and naomi's desk.

chatting students come walking into the classroom and taking a seat. Among those people was a black haired boy with dark brown eyes,he was chatting and laughing with his friends as well.

ayami couldn't take her eyes off him.

("wow! he's so cute!") ayami blushes.

as if reading her thoughts, aki leans over to ayami's desk and whispers in her ear.

"that's shinto, he's a 1st year as well and he's in our class!"

"he's also the second cutest boy in school" aki joined in to the conversation.

"second? well who's the first?" ayami asked.

"the first is hojo, a 2nd year student" aki replied back.

"wait,I thought hojo had a thing for kagome?" naomi asked aki.

"he does" aki whispers back to naomi

"who's kagome?" ayami was so confused as to who they were talking about.

"kagome is a 2nd year student as well but she's usually always out sick with some disease and is always bailing out on hojo whenever he asks her out"

"oh"

("why does that name sound familiar,kagome...")

after class, while walking to her 2nd period class, the name 'kagome' rain through her head.

("who is she! I know she's a second year student but I feel like i've actually met her before but where?")

ayami,while all wrapped up in her thoughts, bumps into somebody.

textbooks fall to the ground and papers go flying everywhere.

"ouch!" both ayami and the person she bumped into,rub their heads.

"oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I-" ayami's eyes widen when she realizes that the person she bumped into was shinto! of all people why the cutest boy in her class?.

"-I um I um I-" she manages to stutter out.

("oh great! I can't even finish up my sentence without stammering like an idiot!") she blushes from embarassment and from being nervous.

"no,I'm sorry" shinto says blushing slightly.

"um I should probably help you pick up your textbooks?" ayami says.

"yeah I should probably help you pick up your things too" shinto says.

ayami and Shinto both bend down to pick up their things.

ayami and shinto's hands accidently brush against eachother. That was enough to send ayami in blushville! her cheeks were now red as a tomatoe!. shinto's blush just deepened. They stare at eachother for a moment before quickly picking up their fallen items and staring,once again,into eachother's eyes.

(I wonder who she is? she's a very pretty girl) what shinto just thought made him blush even more.

"so um what's your name?" shinto manages to finally say after a moment of silence.

"I'm ayami"

"I'm-"

"shinto, yeah I know"

"how did you know?"

"my friends told me I mean..urgh!..um I've heard alot about you!" ayami nervously said.

("yeah like that sounds any better! I have to remind myself to mentally slap myself later")

"well ayami if your not doing anything tomorrow after school, do you wanna um go to wacdonald's?"

"sure!" ayami had to try and keep her excitement inside as best as she could but in the inside she was really jumping up and down like a cheerleader saying "yay! I have a date with the hottest guy in school!".

"WHAT! you got a date with shinto! THE shinto sonozaki!" aki couldnt believe it! even his fangirls couldn't win a date with him!

"yep" ayami happily replied.

"wow ayami your sooo lucky! I'm kinda jealous!" naomi playful winked at ayami.

it was lunchtime and they had decided to eat outside(there were also lunchtables outside).

"my first day at school and its been great! ayami shouts with joy evident in her voice.

"i've made great friends like you two,i've got a date with shinto, and I feel on top of the world right now!"

"we're so happy for you!" aki and naomi squeal in excitment for their new friend.
