Chapter 2 : Making Acquaintances
As I was taken aback by what's happened, I realized an announcement has been made to entire school at that time.
" To all of the students, please assemble quickly at the school's main auditorium to begin the opening ceremony. Once again, to all of the students, ... "
I walk towards the school's front gate and make my way to school's hall to see where my class is. I look up at the bulletin board and run my fingers to some of the papers. I search my name and find myself located in 1-B. Remembering all of my closest friends go to different schools than mine, I take no bother to check whoever else got into the same boat as mine. I am alone right now and I need to make friends, I mean acquaintances fast. The first year students always make some groups even gangs, especially girls. I am not a girl that likes to be in gangs and follow someone's order every time, so I usually keep myself from joining groups and making relationship to people that I can trust.
I try to find where is the school's main auditorium. Being not well-known to the school's layout, I find myself got lost because of walking wherever my guts take school is bigger than what I've thought and doesn't have any board direction to help me at all. Looking by the window, the school's front court is already empty and by hearing the bell sounds for the first time, I think the ceremony has started? Great, first day and I've skipped the first ceremony of my school. I just have to wait until being stamped as delinquet of the school.
Walking again to find the main auditorium, I take the left side of the building with turning left on the fork of the hall. Not until someone who is running crashed against my body and making myself falling to the ground ... again.
"Ahh, I'm sorry – desu, I am in a hurry that I don't see you, " said a yellow-haired young man with gold irises on both of his eyes.
"It's alright. I don't see myself, umm?" I said while finally looking at his gold irises.
Then, I found myself looking at him for the first time. I remember I saw him this morning at the basketball's registration table. His face is much more handsome from near , his face structure really reminds me a lot from the boy models of fashion magazine I've read. But I've found it odd to never really attracted to these kind of guys.
"Ah, you must be a freshman, I am your senpai, konnichiwa," he said with a dashing smile. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any effects on me.
"Senpai? Then, could you show me the way to main auditorium? I've found myself lost after going around the school since this morning," I said while getting up by myself.
"Oh, I am heading to the same direction too, you see, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's late, by the way, I don't catch your name," he said while walking beside me.
"I'm sorry, where is my manners, my name is Yuka Yanagi, and just like you said, I'm new. But, how do you know I'm new senpai?" I said with a confused look.
"Hmm, because usually I remember every girls'face here in Teikou, but I never see you anywhere all of this three years, so you must be new," he said while smiling to me.
"I see," I look up our ways and trying to remember it because I don't want to get lost again.
"And I'm good remembering pretty faces as well," he said while winking to me.
"First day of school and I've been encountered with a flirty devil, huh senpai?" I said while returning his wink.
"You're a unique girl, the name's Ryouta Kise !" he said while laughing.
Then, we arrive at the main auditorium's door, and when I want to open the door, suddenly Kise stop me.
"If we come from the front door, it will only make an event, we should go from the left side," he said with a normal tone.
"You really used to skipping, huh, Kise-senpai?" I said while sighing.
We enter the main auditorium from the way Kise shows me and sneak to the row of students.
"Bye, Yanagi-chan!" he whisper to me.
I smile at him the last time and see that the headmaster has finished up his speech.
"And next is the words from the student council's president, Seijuro Akashi," said the female teacher who acts as a moderator.
"Thank you," said a red-haired young man with heterochromatic eyes that entraped me. I see him calmly standing from his seat and walking to the podium to deliver his own speech. There is a silence filling the main auditorium's room, now the heterochromatic king needs to give his special words to all of the students.
"Seijuro... Akashi," the name that escapes my lips with my eyes wanting to take a good look again on him.
"As I begin my term as Student Council President, I'd like to share with you my vision for this coming year. It is my firm belief that each of us must accept the responsibility of bettering our school. However, change cannot occur without sustained effort and an unprecedented level of commitment. That is why we must restructure our daily lives to accomodate this lofty goal. I'd like each of you to dig deeply into your well of motivation and re-evaluate your convictions. To imagine a bold new future without losing sights of the realities around you. That is the key. I believe that many of you have your own versions of the future. For us to reap the full benefits of our education, your participation, ideas, and enthusiasm are essential. Thank you, " finished Seijuro Akashi, bowing his head to all of us, and go to his seat.
There is another silence before every students and teachers clapping their hands before the amazing speech he has delivered. It puts us in awe and makes us want to do something just like he has said. Is this the power of words? Just like what my father has done to his supporter so he could win the election? I never taste it beforehand, but now I really know what words' power has. Seijuro Akashi, what an amazing person.
Closing the ceremony with the final speech of the headmaster again, the new first term of Teikou has begin. All of the students scattered to the main auditorium's door. I have been staring at Akashi from where he finished his speech moments ago until someone puts her hand onto my shoulder.
"Hey, where are you looking at?" she said. I turn my head to take a complete look on her. She has waist-long light blue hair complementing her light blue irises, pale and smooth complexion that will make every girl jealous, a very feminine structure face, and just like me, a mature charm that not all girls have. Basically, a beauty. But I feel like I've seen her before. Or it is just me?
"Oh, nowhere. Have I been daydreaming?" I asked.
"Yep, and you might've not noticed that I've been waving my hand waiting for your reaction to come back to your senses again," she said, putting her hands in her white cardigan pocket.
"I see. I'm sorry. There's just something that took my curiosity," I said.
"Hmm? The student council president? You have good taste for man. By the way, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Tetsumi Kuroko," she said while smiling.
"And I am Yuka Yanagi. Nice to meet you, " I said while smiling as well.
"What class are you in? We should be walking as well," she said.
"1-B, you?" I asked.
"The same! Wow, I've found myself a new friend already!" she said while hugging me and giving me her wide smile.
"I think I could keep up with you, I feel that you are someone I can get along with," I said while returning her hug.
The second bell has rung which indicates all of us should be in our classroom right now.
"I know where our class is. Let's run or else...," she said while suddenly having a gloomy aura.
"We are going to really be in trouble..."
"Good morning class, my name is Rei Haruka, and I am your homeroom teacher as well as your chemistry teacher," said a woman in her twenties with full framed black square glasses, ponytail yellow hair and golden irises. She is a teacher? I thought she is a model for a second there. She has a slim build, good long legs, white complexion, wearing a white shirt with black blazer, black pencil knee-length skirt, and short heels. All of the boys are drolling looking at her while the girls are making frown face because their homeroom teacher is very beautiful.
"Now, for my class' rules. Even though I'm a new one doesn't mean I will make your life easier or kinder than any other teacher. For those who come late in my class or late handing their assignments will make a chemistry report about the topic we are discussing at that moment. For those who doesn't make homework or assignments will make a summary about the topic as well. For those who behave rudely, indecent, or any kind of negative behaviours will stand with one feet at my subject until finish. I don't care if you are borrowing or even stealing someone else's book, just make sure you have the books in my class, for those who doensn't bring it will treat any kind of foods to the whole class. And lastly, for those who have bad grades in my or other subjects will definitely gonna have a long nice chat with me after school. So, any questions? " she said while grinning evily to all of us. A frozen silence filled up the room. Heck, even the boys who are first smiling at her, having a death look on their face.
"Seems like this year is going to be though, doesn't it, Yuka-chan?" said Tetsumi who sits behind me.
"No joke. Appearance does deceiving," I said.
"Okay, let us begin the first subject of our material. On the first chapter, we are going to learn about how the reactive...,"
Bell has rung again. And it is just break time.
"Oh myyyyyyyyyyy, it is only three hours and I've been slapping myself five times to prevent me from sleeping, talk about boring," said Tetsumi while stretching her hands up and down.
"Hmm, Sumi-chan, why don't we get orientation just like other students? I heard about them from my sister's friend," I asked her. Unlike other juniors, we just go directly to the studying session like normal.
"Oh, you don't know Teikou's history then? Teikou doesn't do orientation like that at the beginning, they do it to us when they take us to our first year field trip. That's where the orientation will take place and usually the student council members and some elected seniors will prank us with their plans. Their pranks always involve some kind of physical activity from what I've heard. Last year's juniors got some bruises and stretch marks on their knees and backs though,"said Tetsumi, putting her point finger in her chin.
"You sure do know a lot about this school. I'm glad I met you. I am very new with all of this," I said while smiling sadly.
"Oh, I heard it from my older brother. He is a third-year now, a student council's member and apparently the basketball's regular," said Tetsumi while picking up her bento.
" You have an older brother? ... Hold on, he is a regular? In the basketball team?!" I said surprised at what Tetsumi has said to me.
"Yep, cool huh. And talking about teams, we, first year have to choose clubs, it is obligatory," Tetsumi said with her head bowing down.
"Teams huh? I haven't made a thought about it yet," I said while picking up my lunch box from my bag.
We begin to eat and sharing story as well. Tetsumi's twin brother is named Kuroko Tetsuya. And it seems that he is the light-blue haired young man I've seen this morning with another colorful haired-young man. A regular at Teikou's basketball team must mean her brother is exceptionally skillful and strong because only the gifted ones may enter the regular team. Talking about twins, she said both of them are like light and dark. While Tetsumi is out-going and cheerful, Kuroko Tetsuya is more quiet and hard to notice. Really? I thought they all the same.
"Sumi-chan, do you cook the bento by yourself?" I asked.
"Yep, how do you know? First look, and people would think I'm boyish," she said while taking a big gulp from her drink.
"Because no mother could cut a cucumber that messed up ," I said, grinning and pointing to the half-sliced cucumber of her bento.
"What?! Oi, Yuka-chan, that's rude! It's hard to make it even this small," she said while pouting.
"Sorry, but you are amazing. Teach me sometimes," I said.
"But your lunch box is cool too. Beef hamburger with caesar salad? That's something only riches could afford. Oh, but it's not like I will judge you from your status or whatever," she said while smiling sincerely at me.
I was taken aback by her words. Sure, no one still realized who I am. But for people like us, to be treated just like normal people is something we appreciated seeking our true comrades.
"You want some, Sumi-chan? I don't like it very much you see," I said to her while smiling gently.
"Yay, I love you the most Yuka-chan!" shouted her , hugging me in the process.
I've been planning to go straight home after school since today is my mother's birthday. To prepare her surprise of course. But Tetsumi somehow dragged me to see his brother practicing. Because of her puppy begging eyes which she showed me, I have no choice but to follow her. I could remember some of the school's way as well.
Teikou's basketball team name is no words to be taken lightly. In the first day of school, it has already gotten 150 male students to be tested to the strings. Being the third string, the weakest, second string, the middle one, and the first string or the regular as the strongest. Two years ago, there are five juniors made their way directly to the first string, these students are widely known as "Generation of Miracles" which has the reputation of never losing in any matches it participated. But, I heard it has six players now?
The male students are all lining up in front of the head coach. It seems they are being lectured about something before he dismissed them all. I see a pink-haired girl beside the head coach and they are both currently talking.
"Oh, Satsuki-nee-chan is here!" said Tetsumi while running to the head coach and the pink-haired girl.
"Tetsu-chan? I heard you will enroll here but who knows it is real," said the pink-haired girl while receiving Tetsumi's hug. She has a habit of hugging everyone she likes I see.
"Oh, who is this?" said the pink-haired girl to Tetsumi while looking at me.
"This is my new friend here, Yuka Yanagi," introduced Tetsumi about me.
"Konnichiwa, senpai, my name is Yuka Yanagi," I said while bowing my head to her as a sign of respect.
"Konnichiwa, you don't have to be so formal, Yanagi-chan, my name is Satsuki Momoi, a third-year and the manager of basketball club, yoroshiku" she said while smiling at me.
I take a complete look of her. She is another beauty I've met in this school. Her well-endowed body with slim waist, legs, and apparently huge breasts with pink-haired and pink irises screamed the splendor of a woman. Sure Tetsumi and I have been called beautiful from times, but this woman is just ... the type of woman when you think about women? From her appearance that is.
"Yanagi-chan, Tetsu-chan, would you like to watch the first string plays? Head coach is preparing them to play against the second string as a "show" to the candidates this year," she said.
"Yes , I would love to ! My brother will play as well right?" said Tetsumi with shiny gold eyes.
"Of course, my lovely Tetsu-kun will play!," she said. Then both of them holding each other hands and jump into the air.
"I think I will watch as well," I said to them. This is getting interesting anyway.
After ten minutes of waiting, students have gathered in the gymnasium and searching for a place to watch the match, somehow today's match has scattered around their ears and they won't miss the chance to see Generation of Miracles playing, finally the first-string members are present. And like flashbacks, their colorful hair met my eyes again, only this time I could take a closer look on all of them. There are the very tall, purple-haired one that is yawning while walking, the green-haired one with bandages on his left hand, the tanned skin dark-blue haired one who is holding the basketball and grinning to the court, Kise-senpai whom I met this morning and he is smiling with his model attitude to a group of girls on the left corner which replying him with their screaming and giggling, Tetsumi's brother, Tetsuya Kuroko, with his stoic and calm face as well. Kuroko-senpai is actually tall, but with him gathering with all of them, really make him as small as an ant.
And finally, in front of all them, I met the red-haired young man who has captured my attention for this one whole day.
Seijuro Akashi.
Oh yes, this is gonna be one hell interesting game to watch.
