This will be the 2nd chapter of the story. I tried to refine the previous chapter and to cram it with more words but my heart failure episodes finally resumed and it's been incapacitating me again. Anyway, please enjoy reading!

PS: As a response to my medical conditions, I had my "medics" standing by in case if my conditions worsens. In the story on the hand, I added my own OC in here, which in fact, is the teacher of Riley's school. I improvised the name by the way and it may sounds like a real Japanese name to some readers. Anyway, please enjoy!

Chapter 2 - A New Friendship Part 2

Riley finally arrived at school in a nick of time. Despite the heavy traffic on the streets and the crammed bullet trains that she expected on route, she's finally at her destination without being late. As she went inside her classroom, she greeted her other schoolmates with a deep bow. All the students replied back by bowing their heads at her and after that, Riley went to her assigned seat...a seat that was just a few steps from the door and a few steps from the teacher's table. Hours later, the teacher finally arrived. The students were then silenced by the teacher's arrival. The male teacher placed his books on the table and he greeted his class with a bow...

"Good Morning, class. My name is Professor Ichomi Tarazuka. I'll be your new teacher for the day." - He introduced -

The students greeted him so also Riley. They sat down and took out their notes but before that, Professor Ichomi reminded something to her class...

"Oh, wait. Before we could begin with our lesson for today's class, I would like to introduce Miss Riley. Our new exchange student. She moved here into our school because she wanted to have a "overseas study" in here." - Professor Ichomi reminded -

Riley stood up...

"It's a honor to meet you, sir." - Riley said, bowing -

Professor Ichomi nodded and Riley sat down on her seat. He then opened a book from the table...

"Ok, class. Please open your books and notes to Chapter 1, page 5. We're going to discuss the basic linguistics of Ancient and Modern Japan." - He said -

Riley and the others did the thing that the teacher had said. With that, the class begins.

90 minutes later, Riley and her other classmates finally got their time for a morning break. Riley ordered a sandwich and a soda can from the canteen and she sat down on a vacant seat by the fountain. She also opened her bag and she inspects on the green wallet that she picked it up not so long ago when she's on route to school. She opened it and she still saw the money on it. She went deeper and she manage to find a small piece of paper on it. The small piece of paper had written words on it. It reads...

Class 5-1, Seat 4C

Riley then realized that the classroom's number is the same number of her room. Her classroom was in Class 5-1 and the same numbers were in the paper. Now she finally knows the identity of it's owner...

"Yes! I got it! I'm going to find that owner in my classroom now." - Riley said to herself -

She hid the wallet on her bag and she went to her classroom. Inside, she approached the teacher's table to see where Seat 4C was located. When she saw the exact position, she saw the same male teenager that she bumped into earlier. Riley approached him...

"Hey! I know you! You're the man that I bumped with you earlier!" - Riley said -

"Yeah! I know you too! I didn't know that you were studying here too!" - the teenager replied -

"Well, so much for that." - Riley said -

"What are doing in here, anyway?" - He asked -

"I found your wallet. You dropped it earlier but luckily, I managed to return it to you." - Riley answered, handing him the wallet that she picked up in the streets -

"Hey! My wallet! Thanks, miss! I been looking for it!" - The male teenager joyfully replied -

"I tried to find you but you simply disappeared. Now, I found you and I have returned back you wallet." - Riley said -

The male teenager stood up...

"I'm so grateful for your honesty, miss. Thanks a lot!" - he said, bowing repeatedly -

"Your welcome, sir." - Riley replied -

"Can I ask your name, miss?" - He asked -

"I'm Riley. What's your name?" - Riley introduced and asked him with a question -

"I'm Hiro. Hiro Hamada. Glad to meet you, Riley." - Hiro introduced, shaking her hand -

"Nice to meet you too, Hiro." - Riley replied -

Both of them then handshake with each other.

This is the end of Chapter 2. Riley finally returned the wallet to it's owner, which turns out, it was Hiro Hamada's green wallet. Stay tuned for Chapter 3, everyone!
