Dear Diary,
So today, Luka told me I don't have to write in you everyday! Just whenever I need to get something off my chest or to tell about the day's events. So I figured I'll write you something today before the weekend starts!
The school decided some of us freshmen should have senior 'buddies' who basically help us around here and there, almost like a "big brother"-type program. As they were all being brought together with their new senior friends, I was almost excited about who I got.
Until I met her.
Her name is Lily, and I can already tell she's a troublemaker. Instead of wearing her jacket closed and her skirt knee length and her black shoes small, she wears her coat open, her skirt is extremely short, and she wears black leather books higher than her knees. I'm not sure whether she's supposed to be my buddy, or if I'm supposed to be her role model.
We had the whole of third period to talk to our new buddies. So Lily and I sat in the back corner of the classroom and she twirled a beaker around between her fingers for half of the time. "Sooo..." She finally said at some point, dropping the beaker to the counter top. "Have you met my little sibs?"
"Your what?" I remember asking, and she seemed fairly amused. "Siblings. Brother, sister. About yay high." She gestured with her hand. I nodded. "I think I have choir with them. And you." Lily nodded. "Yeah, my little Rinny and Lenny. They're cute, but personally I like Rin more." She bumped shoulders with me and smiled.
"Speaking of sibs, you got any? Brothers, sisters, hermaphrodites?" I shrugged. "My older sister, Luka. She's the guidance counselor." Lily sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Cool. I guess. This is awkward." I looked at my shoes for a full five minutes before speaking up. "So, are you in any sports?" Lily shrugged back. "Meh. Sports are a joke. I'm doing basketball later, though."
When that bell rang a minute later, she bolted faster than I'd ever seen anybody run I swear she broke the speed of light. And I didn't see her again all day.
Oh, and somebody else started talking to me today. During fifth period, Mr. Shion annmounced we were splitting into partners. So I stuck to my seat and waited until I was alone, but instead of that someone actually came over and sat with me.
The name stitched onto her jacket was "Hatsune" and she's a junior. She has such pretty, long hair, always done up in twintails. I've heard she's possibly the most popular girl in all the schools – even the kindergarteners know her. She volunteers and is basically a golden girl, so I was surprised when she strolled over and took a seat next to me and began to play with my hair.
"Hi, freshman." She grinned, taking a long strand of it in her fingers. "My name's Miku, what's yours?" I attempted to look at her. "Iroha." "Iroha?" She smiled. "Like ee-ro-ha? I heard a song from a friend about that!" She grabbed my shoulder like we were best friends and jostle dme while she sang.
"Iroha nihoheto doko made mo~" She sung out a full japanese lyric and smiled. "My friend Rin taught me that song, actually. She's in your grade – Oh! - anyway, nice to meet you, Iroha. I think we have Chinese and Choir together, too."
So today wasn't totally boring or a hit-and-miss. I really have to meet this Rin girl – she seems really nice. Especially if she's friends with Miku Hatsune.
I have to stop writing – I'm making dinner tonight.
Someday,
Iroha
