MORNING, 8th of April
I usually don't care about what school should I choose, in my hometown there aren't many schools but the few institutes you can find are rather small and cozy.
Maybe that's the reason why I am so fascinated by the huge Shujin High School. Beyond the iron main gate there's a beautiful but simple well-kept garden with some benches here and there. Needless to say that the thing that is affecting me the most is the main building which seems high enough to touch the sky.
This is all new to me and Ryuji already knows that. This doesn't stop him from laughing out loud, drawing the attention of some of the school students.
'It's so embarrassing, now everyone noticed I'm the new guy!' I really wanted to stop my new friend but he pats me on the back so hard that I almost fell on the ground.
"Don't ya worry, it's gonna be ok. I still remember mah first day…" I thought he would continue his story and he would tell me something about that day but now he really seems lost in Dreamland. I call him many times repeating his name to wake him up from his trance state.
'If I don't wake him up, we're going to be late. What should I do?' I get worried while I think of something but the solution to my problems came before I knew it. An unknown girl approaches us and without saying a word she punches Ryuji right in the face.
'Poor Sakamoto-kun, pummeled by a girl' I kneel down to give him a look, luckily the punch wasn't that hard.
The student has blonde wavy hair styled in pigtails with parted side bangs and a single hair clip, light blue eyes, and pink lipstick. She wears the standard black blazer, a white cardigan worn long to cover most of her short skirt and it has a green clover symbol on the back of her hoodie, and it is worn with red pantyhose and brown boots.
I can feel that Sakamoto is really angry right now, in fact he gets up to face that blonde student who ruined his looks.
"What the hell did ya do to mah face? How dare ya chibi?!" As red as a tomato he almost shouted the blonde-head.
"You just got what you deserve, dasai! Here, look at my notebook, you wetted it! What should I give to the teacher now?!" She gets her copy book to show it to us and I could do nothing but stare at the two students.
"I'm sorry ok? It was an accident AND that's not enough reason for punchin' me on the face!" He admitted his 'crime' without feeling guilty making the girl even angrier. She grabs his red t-shit to shake him back and foward making him feel a little dizzy. I'm definitely the third weel in this strange situation so I try to escape from them as quickly as I can.
"I think I should leave you alone, good luck with your homework" I hurry up to leave that place but two irritated voices tell me to stop. Why does it always end like this? I just want to get to my classroom, is it too much to ask?
"Who do you/ya think is right?!" They both say in unison trapping me. What should I say now? I don't want problems with neither so what can I say to evade the question? 'That's an emergency somebody please save me from these two!' I babble something to take some time and after some minutes my prayers are answered. The bell's sound echoes in the whole school giving me a chance to retreat.
"I'm so sorry but we have classes now, let's talk about this later ok? See you" I run inside the institute to take a look at the map in the hall. My class should be the 2-2, let's see…Here it is, 2nd floor third door to the right. I hurry upstairs noticing that I'm quite late because of what happened before I hope I won't get in troubles.
Once I reached the floor where my classroom is I immediately recognize the door that leads to my homeroom. As if it were a marathon I opened the door as fast as I could to not being scolded on my first day.
'I worried over nothing, the teacher is not here yet' That was a close call! I sigh in relief thinking that now everything would be ok but a creepy aura changed my mind.
'I have a really bad feeling' I fully examine my future classmates but only two of them catch my attention. Yeah, those two again, the guys who were fighting in front of the main gate, I don't want to get in the middle anymore.
Sakamoto-kun is sitting in the back row, right where the teacher couldn't see him if he decided to take a nap while the girl is in the middle row, near the window at safety distance from Ryuji. Well, at least they won't fight during the lessons.
I am distracted from my thoughts by a big 'SLAM' that came from the white door opened by an old brown haired man with a scary expression on his face who I believe is going to be our teacher. I gulp silently as I approach the man that is writing his name on the black board then I wait for him to finish before turning to my schoolmates.
"I'm Hayashi Karuta, your homeroom teacher and this guy next to me is the new guy, Akai Kaito. Any questions so far?" I see for or five people raise their hands so I feel happy to have drawn their attention but to my surprise the teacher continued just like that.
"I don't care about your questions let's make it quick. New guy there's a free seat for you behind Takamaki, go." I really want to hurt him, how dare he treat me this way?! I clench my fists keeping my mouth shut, after all I don't want to be hated by a teacher, that would be bad. I nod to him then I obediently do as he asks reaching my school desk and sitting on my chair.
'It's still morning but I already know my first day of school is going to be awful. Well, at least it can't get any worse, can it?

Hello! For those who do not know I'll write the meaning of some japanese words I mentioned:
1) Chibi: Shorty, runt, undersized person
