Hey, I'm back! Sorry if this chapter's a little delayed. Although, I bet that the next chapter will take a little while because we have exams! :/ You'll see what kind this is ;)

Anyways, thanks for the review/s, it made me a little bit more motivated to write this story.

This chapter by the way had a little part with the 1st chapter's ending, because the 1st chapter's ending was shortened.

Now, on with the story!

Chapter 2: Expect the Unexpected

Jin's POV, 6:55 A.M.

I entered the school building from the huge gate that seems to be almost as tall as our house. I also saw the many students entering as they also wear the same uniform as mine. The only difference is that all of them had a companion and I was the only one in here without a single friend. I sighed. Not that I mind.

I continued on and passed a garden. It looked beautiful. 'Like in my dream…' I thought, remembering my weird dream. Except that the only difference is that this has a fountain in the middle and bushes surrounding the garden. The one thing occupying my mind is that dream. It was really weird. 'Why did I dream of that anyway?' I asked myself, but just shrugged it off and continued on.

I finally reached the school building. It's reeeeaaallllyyy big! Kind of like a mansion. That wasn't the only thing. There were two other buildings beside it. Just a little smaller than the school building.

I entered it and searched for the principal's office. But, with my sense of direction, I doubt I'll find it. I sighed.

I saw a student wearing the same uniform as me with silver hair and grabbed his shoulders slightly. He turned to look at me with his cold, azure eyes. I flinched a little from his gaze but decided to ask him anyway, "Excuse me, do you know where I can find the principal's office?" He just shrugged and abruptly walked away.

'What attitude, did I do something to make him like that?' I thought with a frown forming in my face. I saw another student, with a little dark, auburn hair. I asked him, "Do you know where the principal's office is?", but he didn't even bother to look at me and just continued on.

'Is everyone here like this? Great~ nice way to start the school year' I thought sarcastically. I went out of the school building to the garden. I sat there on the bench with its back turned from the fountain.

'I'll never get to the office this way' I thought sadly.

"I awaken lost memories… That's the end… of the eternal- story…~" My attention perked up when I heard a beautiful voce singing near me. I stood up. I circled around the fountain and saw a girl sitting on the edge of it. She sang quietly with her eyes closed, "Before I knew it I was running. You were pulling my hand~" She sang with a really nice tone. For me, the song seems to be a bit sad. It's kind of like someone who has no friend, but then discovered that in this world, there are plenty of people who would be willing to share their life with you. Even if it's just temporary.

A/N: This song is the opening song of Angel Beats translated to English.

I listened to her voice singing the sad song. It had a nice ring to it. "I watched it fade… I waved it goodbye… Thank you~" She stopped right after that, seeing that she was done, I clapped my hand gently. She seemed to be startled at this as she shrieked.

I scratched the back of my head.

"Sorry, did I startle you?" Apologizing, I continued on. "That was a very wonderful song; I didn't know there is a singer in here." I complimented her.

She looked at me with confusing, chocolate eyes. 'Weird, have I seen her before?' "Really~! You think so?" She suddenly jumped out, her pink twin tails bounced as she did that.

I took a step back, startled by her actions, and replied, "Of course! It was great. Yeah." I sweat dropped at her actions.

"Thank you so much~! I was just practicing that song. I thought that it didn't really fit me, hehe~" She stuck her tongue out, not to me, but to her. I found that cute.

"Why did you like it?" She asked with a serious face on. I was surprised at her weird question and looked at her that said 'What do you mean?'

She read my eyes and repeated her question, "Why do you like it? Is it because I was singing it? Or because you found it wonderful?" She looked straight at me and I averted my face from her, but couldn't avoid the fact of her serious gaze on me. I paused for a moment to think of the answer, and replied, "Well, if you want my opinion, I guess it's because it was a beautiful song that seem to strike the hearts of the people-err me I mean, also because you sang it in the right way and tone, I guess?." I replied, unsure of my answer.

I though she was offended from what I said, but when I looked at her, her face was suddenly very close to mine with a contented smile on her face. I blushed at this and took a few steps away from her.

I turned my back to her and clutched my chest. 'What's happening? Why am I like this! I just met her so there's no way that I already like her!'

"Ehehe, sorry~" I looked at her again with her tongue stuck out. "That's what you get from startling me earlier~!" She cunningly pointed out.

'I see… that was revenge…' I felt a little disappointed at that.

"My name is Amy, what's yours~?" Click! 'Amy? That name… it clicked in my brain… but I don't know her! What now…' I thought, annoyed of the many surprising events.

When I came to my senses, Amy's waving a hand in front of my face. "Are you okay? You seem to be really shocked… Did I say something wrong?" She asked with her tone a bit worried.

'Shocked?' "Uhhh… I'm fine, don't worry. The name's Jin, by the way." After I said the word 'Jin', I heard a gasp escape from her lips. I looked at her and she had her mouth covered with her hands, her eyes widened. Tears were starting to form in her eyes. She took a step aback, and another, then another.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked nervously. "Did I say something wrong?" She froze for a moment, then she turned away and wiped her about to fall tears.

"I-I'm fine…" She replied, her voice a bit cracked.

She turned her body to look at me again, the shocked face, replaced by her warm smile. "Never mind that, by the way, I haven't heard that name before, are you a new student?" I could tell she was lying from the sound of her voice and the look of her eyes, but I didn't bother to ask. It wasn't my business.

"Kind of, could you tell me where the principal's office is?" I asked again, hoping that she wouldn't ignore me.

"Sure~ I'll be glad to even take you there!" She suggested.

"Are you sure? Don't you have other things to take care of? And yeah, what time is it?" I inquisitively asked.

"Don't worry~! Just let me take you there!" She insisted and I gave in to her with a nod. "The time, its 7:08." After she said that, my eyes widened. 'I'm late!' I was ready to run when I noticed that she was still here.

"Why aren't you in class yet?" I asked, ignoring the fact that I'm in the same situation as her.

"Oh! School starts at 7:30. They tell new students to go to school at 7:00 so they can know the school better." She informed me and I slapped my forehead at how I panicked when school will start in 22 minutes.

"What do you say? Let's go to the principal's office! Onward!" She pointed out to the school building, and like a little child, she marched. "Come on Jin, we have to get there fast~!"

"There's no need to rush." I insisted.

She pouted. "I'm going to leave you if you don't hurry up~!" I noticed that she was already at the front of the school building. Her hand waving at me so I could know where she is.

"Alright." I replied to no one. I chuckled also at how childish she could be.

OoOoOo

We passed many other rooms that read cafeteria, teacher's lounge, etc.

As we were walking, almost all of the students greeted Amy a 'good morning'.

"You sure are popular." I stated out.

She blushed at this and looked down with a smile on her face. "Not really…" She denied and I didn't bother to fight back with all of the things that happened. First, I had a weird dream, then this huge school, then the students who ignored me, and then this girl who almost cried when I told her my name! 'What's next?' I asked myself, tired at what happened in one single morning.

"Here we are!" I was interrupted from my thoughts as Amy remarked that we're FINALLY here. The sign hanging on top of the door read 'Principal's office'.

Amy knocked on the door. "Come in." We heard a reply from inside and Amy opened the door for us.

We entered a huge room covered with peach walls and marble floors. I inspected it and realized that there was also chandelier was hanging in the middle of the room. There are lots of bookshelves filled with different kinds of books, like it was a library. A glass table with a vase on top of it and two sofas enclosing it stood in the middle of the room. The rest is plants and flowers in all corners of the room. It was plain huge and simple. 'This is an office?'

I stood there, frozen yet again.

I felt someone tugging on my shirt and realized that it's Amy.

"Let's go~" She grabbed my wrist and I willingly followed.

At the end of the room, we saw an office desk and a girl sitting on a chair. She had really long lime hair and emerald eyes. She also had bangs which was split in the middle, and a headband which had a gem that hung on her forehead.

"Good morning ma'am, this is Jin, a new student." Amy informed her. She nodded at Amy and turned to look at me.

"I've been expecting you. Welcome to Serdin High. It seems like you have already made a friend." She looked at Amy as she said the word 'friend'.

"I'm Enna, the school principal"She held out her hand for me to take it and shake hands, but then, she noticed that my wrist was enclosed by Amy's hand and she giggled. I realized that she could have misunderstood the situation and I blushed, so I immediately retrieved my hand and took a little step sideways.

She giggled again. "Young fellows these days…" I blushed when she said that and sputtered out, "It's not what you think!"

She looked at me with teasing eyes, I just ignored it. Amy only tilted her head sideways and blinked, not understanding the situation.

"Anyways," she started, "This is the password of your locker, your schedule; lucky you, Amy is with you the whole day-" Amy muttered a "Yay!" and I smiled at her childish actions, "-and here is your room number." She gave me a key which read '207'. I was confused at why she gave me this key.

"Excuse me, what do you mean 'room number'? I asked, confused at her actions and what she just said.

Amy and Enna looked at me with wide eyes, then at each other, and then they giggled.

I stared at them dumbly.

"Didn't Elaine tell you? This is a boarding school." As she said that, my mind still didn't get what she said because I'm still confused.

Amy noticed that and repeated what Enna informed me, "This. Is. A. Boarding. School." She emphasized every word to make sure I get it.

'Boarding… School… wait… What?! Boarding school?!'

"What?!" I slammed down both of my palms on the office desk and the both of them were startled by my actions.

'Great, another surprise.'

I made a little renovation in here. :)
