Time for School


Since her family came to Namimori, things felt a little more normal for June. But, now, her mother was starting to harass her…


"You can't stay out of school much longer, June. You should enrol at Namimori's school. Doesn't your boss go there?"


Her mother knew about the mafia…in fact, her mother worked in the mafia as a doctor. Her two brothers worked in the mafia, too…kinda…

Her older brother worked as a stealth agent, like her, but her younger brother was born paralyzed from the waist down, so he was more or less moral support from his wheelchair. But hey, he was optimistic about everything.

That was great…but his optimism couldn't help June.


She stood in front of Namimori high school, grumbling as she pulled at the bottom of her skirt…this uniform was going to be annoying. But, hey…she wore the sleeveless jumper with her white shirt sleeves rolled up. Her buttons were pulled down a lot and she didn't wear the bow. She even wore her regular boots along with thigh high black socks.

Yeah, she was pretty against this uniform…she just hoped she wouldn't be forced to tidy it up…it was a pain as it is…

Entering the school, she looked at a slip of paper the principle had given her with her classroom on it…well…here she was.

Now she was going to start life in this new school and possibly not even be in the same class as anyone she knew, even if she knew the Vongola went here, for the most part.


"Class, today we have a new student. Will you please introduce yourself?"

"E-Eh? W-Well…I'm June Spencer. I'm from Australia, and-"

"SPENCER! IT'S YOU!"

June's face paled as the loud voice filled the room.

Yep…turned out she was in the same class as Sasagawa Ryohei. The Sun Guardian.

…This could be fun?


"Ah! Spencer! Wait up!"

Keep walking, keep walking-Damnit, he's quick!

After their class, Ryohei decided to talk with June, giving chase as soon as she left the classroom. It was strange seeing him in a school uniform…especially after seeing him so casual for the battles.

"I didn't realize you were coming to the school! How extremely great!"

"Yeah…didn't think I'd be in the same class as you…"

"I didn't realize you were the same age as me! You're so small."

Her eyebrow twitched as she tried to ignore that he had called her small, but she still looked pretty mad about it.

"Yeah, well…I think I'm older than you."

"Really? Extreme!"

"Yeah, okay…Why did you follow me out, anyway?"

"Well, you don't know anyone in the class. I figured you'd want someone to be keep you company in class. It can be extremely lonely being new to a school."

"Ah…that's nice of you. Thanks a lot, Ryohei."

Well…he might have been a tough guy, but Ryohei was actually quite nice.

"Hey, by the way, Tsuna, Hayato and Takeshi are around, right?"

"Yeah! They should be on break! Maybe they'll be on the roof! They go there sometimes. They'll be excited to see you here!"

"Yeah…they'll be surprised…"

Well, maybe Yamamoto wouldn't be, seeing as he was the one who suggested her coming to the school.


Happily, he led her up to the roof, chatting away with her about tons of stuff. Well…he was a talkative guy. More than once he tried to ask her to join the boxing club, saying something about how she did well in her fight and he'd be glad to have her in the club. But she couldn't really say yes to that…She wasn't into boxing…

"We're up!"

"That was a lot of stairs…this school is pretty high. It's a great place, so far…well…to say my first experience of it was a frozen swimming pool."

"You did well, though!"

"I lost."

"You did well!"

"Yeah, yeah…thanks, I guess…"

Ryohei walked onto the roof first and, as luck would have it, he saw the trio of Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto sat with their lunches on the roof, enjoying some conversation.

"Sawada!"

"A-Ah…Big brother…Huh?"

The trio looked surprised, but that grew to pure shock when June appeared from behind Ryohei with a smile on her face.

"It's good to see you guys. You never came to visit like you said you would."

"J-June-San!?"

"Spencer!?"

"It's good to see you, June-Chan!"

Yamamoto looked pleased while Gokudera and Tsuna's jaws were on the floor at seeing her. Tsuna was kinda glad to see her, but Gokudera was probably neutral on the matter.


The trio now sat with June and Ryohei, Ryohei sat next to Tsuna while June sat between her boss and Yamamoto (neither of these positions pleased Gokudera).

"You didn't say you were going to come to Namimori, June-San."

"Well…Yamamoto suggested it a while ago and now my mom was trying to get me to come here so I could carry on education, as well as keep an eye on you guys."

The silver haired teenager scoffed a little, not really GLARING as such…but he wasn't giving June a very nice look. "I'm still shocked that you're in the same class as lawn-head…You're our upperclassman?"

"Ahh~! June-Chan is actually Spencer-Senpai!"

"Please don't call me that…ever…"

She couldn't help but grumble as the trio were still surprised…turns out June was a whole two years older than them and even older than Ryohei, stepping up as the oldest in her class. It actually embarrassed her a little. As soon as the class realized she was older, the whisperings begun…


"The oldest? But she's so short…"

"Not to mention cute."

"What's with those piercings, though?"

"From Australia? Wow!"


So, her arrival at the school drew a mixed reception…half of the class thought she was fairly exotic seeing as she came from abroad. Others didn't actually think much of her…it did look like her uniform and piercings were trying to make a statement, but, really, that's just how she felt comfortable. It wasn't trying to say anything…

But now the class was whispering about her, especially since Ryohei practically screamed at her as soon as he realized it was her.


"SPENCER!? IT'S YOU!?"

"O-Oh God…R-Ryohei?"

"I thought it was you! This is extreme!"

"It's not…it's really not…please sit down…"


More whisperings began…

"They know each other?"

"Did she already join the boxing club or something?"

"Maybe it's his girlfriend?"

"No way!"


Yeah…she didn't enjoy school in the first place, even in Australia…being the new kid in a Japanese school was already beginning to annoy her.

And it was noticeable.

"J-June-San…it doesn't look like you're enjoying yourself…"

"Ehhhh? June-Chan, don't you like school?"

"It's not like I don't like school…I just hate being the 'new girl'. The whispering, the staring, the general judging. Just…ugh."

"I'm sure everyone will like June-Chan."

June reached behind Yamamoto and punched Gokudera in the arm when she heard him scoff at Yamamoto's comment. "Everyone except Hayato, apparently." Rubbing his arm, Gokudera grumbled at her; "Damn right…"

"Gokudera likes you! He's just bad at showing it."

"Don't you go throwing words into my mouth, you baseball freak!"

Well, it was clear Gokudera didn't like anyone besides Tsuna…but, hey, it wasn't hard to tell.

"G-Gokudera-Kun, be nice…June-San is our friend…"

"A-Ah…O-Of course, Tenth…!" That was a horribly forced smile…

June shrugged it off and happily carried on conversing with her group of friends.

It definitely felt strange…well, actually having friends in school was pretty weird. Not that she was the 'loner' of her old school, but she didn't exactly have MANY friends. Hey, she was usually training to be a stealth agent, it's not like it was easy to relate to anyone and make friends. Not like she was really willing, either…

Besides, she was happy talking to her brothers and mother. She didn't really need friends. Well, that's how she saw it. But, she felt foolish after all those years of thinking that…having these guys as friends felt…

Great…

Talking like normal friends. Talking about the simple things; tests, family, things that made them happy. June learnt a lot about her new friends. Hey, she heard about them from Reborn, but she didn't hear about how they acted outside of the Vongola family. Tsuna was a student with terrible grades and absolutely horrid at sports (which did shock June a little since he did so well in the battle against the Varia…). Gokudera was probably the smartest guy in their class while he and Yamamoto are the most popular guys in the class. And Yamamoto was a nut for baseball, being the ace of the baseball club.

June felt almost boring compared to them…she didn't have any stories about her school life. And she didn't even have any interesting stories to tell based on her mafia career, seeing as being Tsuna's guardian was the first 'job' she ever had. So the only thing she could talk about was her family life…


"June-Chan, you didn't tell us your family was here now! It'd be nice to see what your family is like!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! What do they do?"

"Uhh…my younger brother is just starting school in Namimori. My older brother is in University and my mother…well, she works from home."

Tsuna blinked a little. That didn't exactly describe much…"What does your mother do?"

"Uhhhhh…Well…She works in the mafia-" "Never mind, that's all I need to know!"

Yeah, Tsuna just wasn't going to question anymore of this…he really hoped her family at least acted normal to say that her mother worked for the mafia…he did wonder if her older brother worked in a family, too…

Once again, he just wasn't going to question it…


School itself was rather boring…the usual lessons. And June just felt dumb. The teachers kept trying to call on her to answer questions she had no idea about. And when she did know the answer, they didn't ask her. So she just looked stupid…

Really, it was a pain…

But, at least it was finally time to head home. June said her goodbyes to Ryohei, who walked the opposite way to her alongside his sister, Kyoko (who June had the honour to talk to. Well, she was pretty nice). Looked like June was gonna walk home alone.

"June-Chan!"

Or not…

"Huh? Takeshi?"

"You walk this way? Do you live near Takesushi?"

"I don't live too far from it…I walk past it on the way to school, so it's not horribly far from my home, I guess."

"Ahaha! Guess we should start walking to and from school together! It'll make the walk much less lonely."

"Don't you walk with Tsuna and Hayato?"

"Yeah, but that's only when I bump into them on the way, closer to school."

Well…that made a little more sense. And that might mean June could bump into them every morning. That was a decent way to stay friends with them without constantly having to wait until lunch to see them.

"Didn't realize you lived so close by, June-Chan."

"Neither did I. Guess it's handy. I'm pretty sure I live near to Tsuna…no clue about Hayato, though."

"Yeah, Tsuna has always lived close to Takesushi! It's why I knock into him every morning. But we head off to school different ways, which is why they're not here, with us, now."

"Huh…you don't know anything about Hayato?"

"I've never really visited Gokudera. He just kinda pops up with Tsuna."

Sounds about right…

It felt pretty odd to have someone walking home with her. Not that it was a bad thing…Yamamoto was probably the nicest person she'd ever met. But she knew he was naïve and probably still didn't realize what kind of situation he was in, being Tsuna's rain guardian…and that was kinda sad…

But, June wasn't gonna be the one to burst his bubble. His childish outlook on life felt rather…refreshing. She kinda wanted to watch him stay like that…but, if he was going to be Tsuna's rain guardian, then his innocent would get stained one day…

And that definitely made June feel sad…

"Hey, June-Chan?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm glad you're in school with us. It'll be nice to see you more. Tsuna and Gokudera feel the same!" Well, even she doubted Gokudera cared much…but, still. The thought of them all actually wanting to see her was nice. "I guess it's kinda sad that all the guardians can't always be around like that. Especially since Hibari doesn't like being around us."

Yeah, June still wasn't going to go anywhere near that guy…

"Well…It's nice that you guys actually like me." "Well, why wouldn't we? You're nice and fun!" "It's still weird…you barely know me."

"Well, we found out a lot about you today!"

"And I'm sure we'll talk more."

"And that's why we should walk to and from school together!"

Well…that conversation went in a full circle.

"Hey…thanks, Takeshi."

"Hm? For what?"

"For just being you. It's good to know I have a friend like you and Tsuna. And…maybe Hayato."

Yamamoto had to laugh along with June. The two were ready to become great friends.
