On with the story...

(SION Academy's Cafeteria)
"Yo!" Takato greeted both Akihito and Kou as they met again at the cafeteria, this time Takato bring along his roommate, Yoshida who sporting a spiky bleached hair.
"So, how is your first day?" asked Takato as he ate his lunch.
"Nothing much, the class is like what we expected. Aki was late to class though," Kou answered and received a blow on his ribs by Akihito. Today they do not serve sushi so Akihito chooses Italian lasagna with extra cheese on top for his lunch.
"Have you guys checked out the club list yet? It is posted on the notice board." Yoshida said to both Akihito and Kou. Yoshida himself is in soccer club.
Both the freshman nodded. They passed by the notice board just before going to the cafeteria.
"I'm going to go to check out the newspaper club after this." Akihito told them. He already finished his lasagna and now sipping on his strawberry flavor milkshake.
Takato snapped his fingers as he remembered something that he wants to tell them. "Oh by the way, don't forget tonight there will be gathering or something like a meeting for second dorm members in the common room, be there by seven."
"What it is for?" Both Aki and Kou piqued with curiosity.
"It is just some sort of a welcome for students of the same dorm." Takato explained.
"That reminds me, we have not seen who our dorm head is, Aki. " Kou said to his best friend.
Akihito shrugged. "We're going to meet him anyway tonight. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about." Akihito set aside his finished drink and grabbed his backpack. "Well then I'm off first. See you later."

(Somewhere in SION Academy…)
"Newspaper…newspaper club... Aha! This is the room!" Akihito said to himself as he spent about an hour wandering around in the Club and Society building finding the room with the label Newspaper club on it. Thank goodness, he is not one to give up. He straightens his clothes and his back before knocking on the door.
A voice said 'Enter' heard from inside and Akihito grabbed the door knob turning it and pushing it open.
"Hello?" Akihito said try to keep the nerves out of his voice.
In the room there is two students, one sitting behind the desk that Akihito guess is the editor and confirmed by the nameplate on the said desk and another one fiddling with his camera on the only couch in that room. The walls are filled with newspaper clippings and photographs.
"Welcome. I'm Shinotake the president and also the editor of the Sion Newspaper club. What can I do for you?" The guy behind the desk smiled at him behind his glasses.
"Nice to meet you," Akihito bowed to be polite. "I'm Takaba Akihito, first year. I'm here to join your club."
A snort came from the student sitting on the couch, "What do you know about camera, newbie?" He sneered.
Akihito's eyes twitched but remain composed. "I have Canon EOS 600D in my possession, I have some experience with photography and I am capable in using film cameras too. I want to be a photojournalist and to be in your newspaper club is just a start for my career." Akihito said confidently with passion burning in his eyes that the editor could see as he nodded satisfied with Akihito's words.
But the guy on the couch scoffed, "I bet you can't beat the power of my Nikon." He said showing his well-cared camera to Akihito with smug expression. It took Akihito whole willpower not to fling the guy's said camera onto his smug face.
"Stop it, Mitarai." The editor said to his subordinate, to prevent any bloodshed between the two. He knew Mitarai is a competitive and cunning photographer. "Fine, Takaba, you're accepted. Be here every Wednesday and Saturday evening."
Akihito broke into a wide grin and sent a smirk exclusively to irritated Mitarai. "Thank you. I will do my best!"
"For your information, we mainly took photos of the sports team or other clubs' activities. But sometimes we are eager for some gossip or scandal happened here in the academy." Shinotake explained as Akihito listened intently.
"I warned you, there is a limit to who we caught on our viewfinder and be sure you don't stick your neck out of the line."
Akihito feels his adrenaline rush and heartbeat speed up by this bit of information made him more anxious and excited to do his work. He is looking forward to an adventure in this academy.

(Again somewhere in SION Academy)
Asami did not believe his fate with the silver blonde freshman, Takaba Akihito. It was unexpected for him to meet up with Takaba again that early morning, and mind you Asami do not do 'unexpected' he always have everything in control and he always know what to expect. But Takaba bumped onto him is not on the list he expected. The crash sending both of them sprawled onto the floor and with Takaba straddled him like that out of nowhere. Asami could not help but feel aroused when their eyes met and looking at Takaba on top of him like he really belongs there but Asami prefer to see Takaba underneath him, writhing…
If he is not in public especially in that corridor with his two friends/subordinates behind him, he will surely ravish the boy.
"Asami, are you even listening to what I'm talking about?"
An irritated voice pulled him out of his musing as he turned towards the fuming Fei Long narrowing his eyes at him.
"I am, Fei Long. Just get on with the meeting." He ordered, replied by a glare from the long-haired Head dorm. A chuckle heard from Mikhail who is sitting across from Asami, "It seems Asami's head is over the cloud. It is unusual for you, Asami. I wonder why?" Mikhail said teasingly.
Asami shot a glare towards the Russian but did not say anything. They have never been in a good term anyway. Both of them and Fei Long just keep a cool heads and professionalism to get over with their Head Dorm meetings usually. Outside the meetings they will not see eye to eye well except for Mikhail who keep chasing Fei Long.
"Asami, I don't care if your head is over the cloud or mountain, but please get back to the meeting and Mikhail stopped doodling on your notes!" Fei Long reprimanded.
"But I'm drawing the beautiful you, my Fei long~ with your pretty hair~" Mikhail barely dodged the pen thrown by Fei Long.
"I'm not yours, idiot." Fei Long said between gritted teeth and tried to calm himself before moving on with the meeting between the Head Dorm like nothing happened before and Mikhail continue to gaze at Fei Long rather than the board.
"Asami-sama, are you alright?" Kirishima whispered from beside him. Their assistant also involved in the meeting as Yuri stood behind Mikhail and Yoh with Fei Long.
He gave a small smirk. "Don't worry, I have never been better." He cannot wait for tonight, but for now he has to deal with two people the least he want to spend time with.
