"Ohhhhh! I'm late, I'm late, I'm laaaaate!" Bocchi is running in a panic as she is on her way to school. "I accidentally overslept! Oh, my gosh! I can't be late!"
Bocchi isn't the one to be late for school. But one of those times, Bocchi can be pretty silly and forget that she has school. She hurries along the road, trying to be careful at the same time. She goes a couple blocks and starts to run as fast as she can. However, she is too busy trying to get to her destination that she fails to see a person turning a corner and accidentally crash into that person.
"Owwwww…!" Bocchi groans as she rubs her back. She gasps from realization. "O-oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She notices a notebook on the ground and grabs it to hand it to the person who dropped it. "H-here you go! It belongs to you!"
But when she looks up at the person, her adorable, big eyes widen at the sight of a beautiful figure. A girl that is taller than her with long dark hair and gorgeous violet eyes. She is wearing a different school uniform. Bocchi cannot say anything as she stares at this person. The girl before her stares back and reaches out a shaky hand.
"O-oh…yes! Th-this…b-belongs to you…!" Bocchi manages to get out.
She hands the notebook to the girl and the dark haired girl clutches it in her arms. She then looks at Bocchi with those beautiful eyes of hers.
'She is…so pretty…!' the brunette thinks.
"U-ummm…y-yes!" Bocchi nods quickly. "I-I'm so sorry! F-for running into you like that! I apologize from the bottom of my heart! Please…please forgive me!"
The girl just stares at her. Bocchi opens her eyes to see the girl just looking at her, her notebook still clutched in her arms.
"U-um…! Y-you're not mad…are you…?" the adorable small brunette asks.
The girl trembles a little, but shakes her head "no".
"O-okay…good." Bocchi sighs in relief. "Th-th-then…would you mind ummm…s-s-saying something? J-Just so that I won't be sc-scared?" She doesn't blame this girl though. Speaking to people, especially new ones, was her weakness anyways, so she knows exactly what it feels like.
The dark haired girl turns her head away, blushing. It seems like she has a very difficult time talking. Bocchi looks at her watch and panics.
"I-I'm sorry!" Bocchi bows her head low. "But I really gotta go! I apologize again for running into you!"
But before she takes off running, she gets grabbed by the wrist from the girl. Bocchi squeaks from the sudden grabbing and turns to the dark haired girl. Her head is down, her long bangs hiding her expression.
"U-umm….miss…?" Bocchi asks.
The girl shakes her head and holds up a hand, signaling her to stop for a moment. Bocchi just nods and stays put. The girl takes out a pen, opens up her notebook and jots something down. She then shows it to Bocchi.
"Sorry for being silent on you. I'm not very good at talking. But I accept your apology. I hope you have a nice day."
"Ah…" Bocchi looks up at the girl, who is smiling a very small smile. She can tell that she's sincere and really means what she said. She gives a smile in return and nods. "Thanks so much! I hope we meet each other again~!"
She takes off and the dark haired girl just waves. She then turns the opposite way.
At School*
"Ehehe….ehehehehe~" Bocchi chuckles happily as she skips toward her desk.
Nako takes notice of her expression. "Morning, Bocchi. You seem rather happy today."
"My master being happy is always wonderful~!" Sotoka says.
"What's gotten you so excited~?" Aru says.
"Oh!" Bocchi looks at her three beautiful friends. "There was this girl I ran into today! Actually…I crashed into her."
"Oh, are you okay?" Nako asks. "Was the girl okay?"
"We were both fine," Bocchi says. "Anyways, when I looked at her, she was….she was…!"
"She was…what?" her three friends ask in unison.
"R-really…really pretty!" Bocchi shuts her eyes tightly as she says it out loud.
"Whoa! A really pretty girl~?" Sotoka says, and raises her hand. "Hey! Is she a ninja too~?"
"N-no," Bocchi replies as she taps her index fingers together. "Actually…she's kind of…the same as me."
"You mean super shy?" Nako asks and Bocchi nods. "Hmmm…interesting. She doesn't talk much, right?"
"Sh-she…barely talks…" Bocchi says. "She only writes things down on a notebook."
"Barely talks…writes things down on a notebook…." Aru mumbles to herself. "Hmmm…yup. That's something only Bocchi would do."
"B-but I don't write on a notebook that often!" the small brunette squeaks. "I may text people every once in a while, but not write on a notebook!"
"It sounds like this girl is friendly, though," Nako says with a smile. "At least, did she accepted your apology after running into her?"
"Oh, yes!" Bocchi nods. "She was super friendly! I hope we run into each other again!"
"What are the chances though?" Nako asks. "Does she go to a different school?"
"Y-yes…" Bocchi replies.
"Then, you wouldn't know if she shows up or not," Nako points out.
"Let's not give up hope now!" Aru says, pumping two fists. "Bocchi may find this person again someday! You'll never know!"
"Maybe you're right on that," Nako admits.
After School*
Bocchi and her three best friends head out of school and are on their way to the convenience store to buy some snacks and hang out for a bit. Once they get what they need, they are about to head out when Bocchi notices two people enter. And one of them she recognizes. She gasps and runs behind Nako.
"N-N-Nako-chan!" she squeaks. "Th-that's her!"
"Huh?" the short haired blonde looks around to see who it is until the smaller girl points toward the dark haired one. "Oh, her? That's the girl you were talking about?"
Bocchi nods her head quickly.
"Ohhh, when you said she was pretty, you weren't kidding!" Aru says.
The dark haired girl looks around and there is a girl that has blonde hair and tanned skin next to her, talking to her. She is trembling a little bit, trying to find what she is looking for. But with the gyaru's help, she is able to find what she needs and heads toward the counter to pay for it. She fumbles with her change as the cashier smiles at her. The dark haired girl just nods as she pays for her items and then turns to leave. However, Bocchi pops her head out of her hiding spot behind Nako, watching the girl leave. She gives a little whimper.
"Come on, Bocchi," Nako says as she gives her small friend a pat on the back. "You wanted to see her, no?"
"Fight on, Master~!" Sotoka cheers.
"Yeah, we'll be right here with you, Bocchi," Aru says. "Don't worry."
"Nako-chan…Aru-chan…Sotoka-chan…" Bocchi looks at all of her three friends, who give smiles of reassurance. "Thank you…for believing in me!"
The smaller girl gives a nod and pumps two fists. She starts to rush outside and hope that the girl she's looking for isn't too far. Fortunately, she turns around to see the girl and the gyaru talking on the sidewalk just about 6 feet ahead of them. Bocchi starts running toward them.
"U-ummmm…!" she shuts her eyes tightly as she yells at the top of her lungs. "Excuse me, miss!"
The two people in front of her stop and turn to see an adorable, small brunette come running toward them and then stops. She looks up at them and can feel her leg cramping already.
"N-no! Don't give in now!" Bocchi says to herself and takes a few more steps toward them.
"Komi-san, do you know this girl?" the gyaru asks.
The dark haired girl just nods. She is trembling as she takes a few steps forward herself.
"I am…so glad…to see you again!" Bocchi manages to say as she stops. "I wanted to…talk to you again!"
The dark haired girl points to herself and Bocchi nods.
"Heh, it seems like you made a friend outside of school~" the gyaru says. She turns to Bocchi. "Rumiko is the name."
"G-Guh!" Bocchi is about to fall over. Nako and the others rush to her aid to help her keep her balance.
"Careful, Bocchi!" Nako says.
"I-I'll be fine," The smaller brunette says. "U-ummm…miss! I must…kn-know your name! I didn't get to introduce myself last time! My name is Bocchi Hitori! And I….I want to make as many friends as possible! Though I have made 3 best ones so far."
"Hello, I'm Nako," the short haired blonde says.
"My name is Aru!" the pony-tailed girl says giving a peace sign. "I am the vice class president!"
"I'm Sotoka~!" the longer haired blonde says. "I am Master's apprentice, in the ways of the ninja~!"
The gyaru, Rumiko gently pushes the dark haired girl forward as encouragement. The beautiful girl trembles some more, fiddling with her fingers.
"U-ummmmm...miss?" Bocchi says.
"I...I...I..." the dark haired girl's voice is so quiet that Bocchi and the others can barely hear her.
"Come on! Speak up!" Rumiko says.
The dark haired girl takes a few deep breaths as Bocchi takes a couple steps closer.
"I-I'm...Shouko...Komi..." the dark haired girl says softly. "Nice...to meet you..."
"You spoke!" Rumiko cheers. "Way to go!"
"Komi-san...!" Bocchi says, nodding. "Nice to meet you, Komi-san!"
Komi gives a small smile and nods. Bocchi reaches out a shaky hand and Komi gently grips it. Rumiko giggles with a smile of her own. Bocchi's girlfriends smile as well. Bocchi has made another friend on her own.
