Sonnet
Tachibana household
When An got home she saw her parents talking in the kitchen. Her mother seemed very upset for some reason and her father was trying to calm her down. Her mother looked like she was contemplating divorce.
"But, dear, about Kippei and his friends from here. His team can reach the Nationals in their first year." said her mother with her voice raised. An knew that her mother loved her brother more then her, but she didn't let this interfere with her relationship with her brother. She loved him very much.
"I understand, but it is my job and a wonderful opportunity. Think at all the possibilities." her father was trying to explain.
"I am home." said An making her presence known. Her parents stopped their talk/argument.
"Welcome." said her father, happy that he found a way of escape. "Say, An how does us moving to Tokyo sound?"
An realized then that her father got a job in Tokyo that required moving and her father was still uncertain about this plus her mother was against it for some reason, but she couldn't let an opportunity like this slip. "Extraordinary." she answered.
She couldn't wait to tell this to the other girls.
Gamma's house
"Megumi what is the meaning of this letter?" said her mother voice raised and letter in hand. She was completely angry.
"Mother I told you many times before to call me Gamma and the letter is what it says it is." she answered without looking up from the phone she was modifying in her hand.
"How could you turn down such an offer!? To study in the States would be such a wonderful opportunity for you. I don't understand."
"Mother you don't understand I want to stay in Japan and that is final." after she that she didn't answer more of her mother's questions and they were a lot of them.
The reason why Gamma declined the offer was because she wanted to do all the invention for her country and she was sure she could make Japan shine on technological level, in fact she was sure Japan was the most evolved country from this point of view.
Hyotei, first day of school
At the school cafeteria as Misaki was looking for a table to eat alone she saw Sora crying at a table with Nami trying to comfort her, so normally she went there and sat down next to Sora.
"What happened?" she asked, but Nami wasn't one to talk and Sora was still crying. Luckily she stopped crying after some time, but her nose was still running.
"How... can... they... do something... like that..." Sora managed to blurt out.
"What happened?" Misaki repeated her question.
"I am not in the same class as Nami! It is the end of the world!" she explained and she start crying again.
"Ah, only that?" was Misaki's cold reaction to Sora's tragic fate.
"Only that could you say? How can you be so inconsiderate to my feelings?" said Sora jumping on her feat and pointing a finger at Misaki. She looked scary even though she was crying a moment ago.
"I can talk to the principal and arrange something." Misaki propose calmly.
"Really?" and at Misaki's nod she hugged her. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
At this there were whispers heard around them and Sora was curious. "What is with all of this whisperers?"
"A, just rumors. Gossip is a loved topic here."
Truth to be told, the events that took place in the cafeteria were spreed in the hole school in only an hour. Misaki has a fan club, who admire her for calm and collected nature and by that I mean the fact she acts like an antisocial person. So the fact she just spoke to two freshmen at lunch made a great impact.
Rikkai Dai, first day of school
It is a known fact at Rikkai Dai that you could never stop one of Akane and Hotaru's competitions. This thing was established last year when in the middle of a class Akane challenged Hotaru to a paper fight. It was epic and even the teacher couldn't stop them. This earned both of them a trip to the principal's office and detention. So it was known I would under no circumstance get involved with them when they are competing against each other. But in the first day of school a green haired freshman girl dared to do that exact thing.
Before anyone could stop the unfortunate girl she went to Akane who looked like she was IT in a middle of a tag game and taped her on the shoulder.
"Ano, Akane-san do you know what club I should join?"
The other students were shocked that the girl was fast enough to catch up with Akane and more when the girl chose to give up her game to Hotaru in favor to answering the girl's question.
"What kind of club are you looking for, Tsuki-chan? What do you like doing?" asked Akane trying to figure out what the girl would like.
"Clubs are troublesome." said Hotaru from behind. She gave up running away from Akane.
"I was looking for a place where I can express the importance of mint int the culinary art." she answered taking a sudden interest on the floor. She didn't speak with Akane so much before and at some point she considered her a witch like her cousin Misaki. The red hair was at fault.
"Figures." said Akane having seen the girl's obsession with mint. "Well, you could join the cooking club. They are always looking for new recipes an I am sure they have some for mint."
"Oh, do you think Kana-san would approve?" she asked shyly.
"I think she would love the idea." Akane knew Kana would smile and encourage the little girl to do what she wished. Tsuki seemed to have low self esteem.
"Really?" and they exchange some more words in their way to respective classrooms.
Meanwhile the students present were asking themselves if they really saw that. It was the first time the two girls stopped their competition before Hotaru could win it.
