Today was the day she was supposed to introduce herself to the Shujin staff, she had to make sure to was a good impression. To make sure they knew that she wasn't the type of student they would be expecting given her record. Changing out her of her night clothes into her new school uniform. Even as she does this Akira couldn't forget the dream from last night. That long nosed Igor man and those two warden girls, going on about ruin and rehabilitation. "That...was so creepy. And all that stuff about ruin and rehabilitation. Maybe I should get one of those dream interpretation apps." Putting her long, brown hair in a ponytail, twisting a thin ribbon around it to finish it off.
Walking down stairs to see Mister Sojiro Sakura sitting down on one of the café's stools in wearing a blazer over his shirt and a trilby hat. "Already ready, huh?" He was planning on calling out to Akira to see if she's decent and ready to go. However, she already beat him to it; at least now they can just head to car and get this meeting over with already. "Well, time to head to off to the school about your transfer. Remember it's in the Aoyama district, you'll need some pocket change for the train and the route transfers are a pain." Sojiro spoke about needing money for the trains. Which was a no brainer, but the way he words it is that this will be her main way to school. Were her parents going to send her money? Given how they reacted, she doubted it; perhaps Mister Sojiro? Though she didn't expect he would do that either. "I'll drive you there, but it's just for today. Let's get going." Guess that part wasn't important until tomorrow with that added on; with her small sum of money for now, she should be fine for a while.
The car ride with the two was quiet and awkward, neither spoken to the other the whole drive. Making the ride feel longer than what it truly was for both Sojiro and Akira. Arriving at the prep school's entrance, Sojiro warned her to behave herself. It felt like a blow to the chest when he added that in truth, he doesn't actually care what happens to her, but he rather not has trouble himself. It feels like all he has being doing since yesterday is reminding her of how much of a burden she's going to be. Frankly, she was getting tired of it.
Quietly following the man to the principal's office to be reluctantly welcomed by a bald man with a suit and a tired, looking woman in a yellow sweater. Assuming he was sitting at the desk, suited man must be principal and that woman is probably some kind of faulty member. Akira stood behind Mister Sojiro with her arms folded in front of her, the adults around might assume she was in this position to falsely portray some sense of being polite. However, this was simply second nature for her. Observing and listening to the adults' conversation in silence. After her new guardian signed her new transfer now the attention was on her. The principal reminded her that she would be expelled if she causes any issues, honestly her mind was beginning to feel like every lecture given to her was starting to mash together. "This will be the teacher in charge of your class." Shifting attention to the uninterested looking woman whom was previously quietly standing there.
"I'm Sadoyo Kawakami, here's your student id." The woman's voice was lifeless, yet bitter at the same time as she placed the card on the desk. Guessing Miss Kawakami must not want to be here right now. Picking up the card herself and placing it in the breast pocket of her blazer for now. "Be sure to read the school rules. Any violations will send you straight to the guidance office...and, if by chance you cause any issues, I won't be able to protect from the consequences at all." That felt like an odd thing to add in, Akira wasn't expecting for anyone at this school to feel much pity for her. Her new teacher was even complaining about the presumably problemed girl being assigned to her class. Perhaps they just wanted to reiterate of how unwelcomed she is at this school.
"If you're done explaining, mind if we get going? I got a store to get back to." Sojiro's voice felt sudden to Akira, he must want this whole thing to be over as quickly as she did. The principal told him to be sure to keep an eye on her. The principal must not want her tainting their school's reputation now that she's officially transferred in now. Miss Kawakami let out a heavy sigh before speaking up once more, "Make sure you come to the faculty office when you arrive to school tomorrow. I'll show you to the classroom." The teenager gave a slight head nod, "I understand, ma'am-I will make sure to."
Finally, her Akira said something throughout this whole meeting, right before it needs with both her and her guardian heading out the office and the school as a whole. "They're already treating you like a nuisance, guess having a criminal record will do that to you. Turns out your past follows you wherever you go." For a moment, she thought the man was feeling sorry for her at the moment until he narrows his eyes at her and sharpens his tone. "By the way...if you end up getting expelled, I won't hesitate to kick you out." The thought of being kicked out and left to fend for herself in Tokyo of all places was terrifying to say the least. "I'll make sure to be as careful as I can." That little noise he let out tells the girl he doesn't put much faith in her words. "School never changes, huh?...Well, come on we're going home."
The car ride back to the café was still quiet and awkward, but elsewhere Akira's new homeroom teacher was having a conversation with a curly haired, muscular man in a gym attire. "What a troublesome situation you're in." The woman did agree with that statement that this was a position she didn't want to be in. "I can't believe they pushed someone with a record on me...I don't know how to deal with a girl like that." Assuming that this Akira girl is going to be issue, even if she was quiet and polite during the meeting doesn't mean much to her. "Well, if you think about it a female teacher might be best for her. To teach her how a proper young woman should behave. Still, it's strange that someone like that was even accepted in the first place." A girl of that nature wouldn't be either of the teachers first picks when it comes being placed of a school of this prestige.
"Apparently, it was the principal's decisions. I was told it was for the school's reputation." It was a risky move on the head of staff, but he probably believed if the school was part of reforming a promiscuous, troublemaking girl into a proper young lady it would do a lot for the school's rep. From the girl's information, it showed that before her incident that she was a diligent student involved in performing arts and gymnastics. Despite Kawakami's reluctance to deal with her, it felt off that suddenly a model student would try to sell herself. Worrying if the girl got caught up in something, she couldn't get out of it before now without anyone knowing it. "I would've thought that my volleyball team has contributed more than enough in that front." The coach stating his team's accomplishments brought Kawakami out of her thoughts. "Well, that is certainly true." It wasn't like he was wrong, but there were times she found the coach incredibly smug with how he spoke. Still, she supposes he simply isn't aware of how self-absorbed he can be as he voiced his concern for her to be careful.
"If anything were to happened, I'd kick a student out like that in a heartbeat." Truthfully, he wasn't so sure if he would do exactly that. Nonetheless, if she acted out, he would certainly teach her a lesson and put her in place. Unknown to his co-worker, the coach had a liking of teenage girls like this new student. He has yet to see her in person, but he was eager to see what sort of fiery, wild child would be strutting in the halls. "I keep hoping that she just ends up not coming to school. Still, that's something I shouldn't be saying as a teacher..." Even if she felt a little bad for this girl, she still didn't want to deal with her either. Not meaning to voice out her thoughts so openly like that, but most of the other faulty knows how dispassionate she is anyway as a teacher. "Well, I should be returning back to practice." With the coach's change of subject, Kawakami remembered that the nationals were coming soon. They talked about that for a moment with a mention of covering for the track team too. Since it was disbanded, it the only sports club with any real recognition have been the volleyball team; The main pride of Shujin High. After that brief conversation both the coach continue on own his way through the hallways. "Why it had to be my class?" One last muttered complaint from Miss Kawakami before she went on her way as well.
As that conversation begun and finished, Akira was still in the car with her guardian; stuck in traffic. She could feel how frustrated the man was due to the traffic jam, stating that she's taking the train starting tomorrow. She remembers him saying something similar this morning too, Mister Sojiro changed the subject to the school. Her thought about it and if she thinks she can manage being there. She didn't have a choice, but to at least try to. Aside from this looming record hovering above her, she never was a bad student; in fact, quite the opposite. Akira was not going to allow herself to fail in that department, still she was nervous how long she could try without her situation take a toll on her. Trying to stay positive that no actual students will know of her record nor any teacher will speak of it. "I'll try my very best to." Her wording sounded unsure and nervous, still it was enough for him to keep her word to it. "To think you would re-enroll in a different school after being expelled from another, not like anyone is going to be sympathetic to you." He continued on speaking if that's how people at the school reacted, then people might say things about him later on too. Complaining about his situation of taking in such a troublesome girl. A feeling was stirring in her body, she wanted to tell him off, shut him up, scream he doesn't know anything about her. "What was the reason you took me in?" Akira wasn't aware of the slight venom slipping into her tone, but the man surely did and wasn't happy with it.
"I was asked to do it, and I just happened to agree to it. I've already been paid for it too, after all." After he said that, her brown eyes at first narrowed in disdain before they became lifeless. Her parents wanted to get of rid of her, so badly they paid a complete stranger to care her for a whole year. Slightly turning her head as a radio announcement caught both of their attention regarding a subway accident. With Sojiro complaining about it being 'another accident', made Akira worried this was a frequent issue. Making her even more nervous and unwilling to take the subway for tomorrow.
