The sun pierces the window as it rises through the horizon. Its a new day.
Mukai awakes. Realizing its his first day of school he bolts to look at the time. Seeing he has an hour left before school starts he lets out a sigh and plummets back into bed.
He slowly gets up and puts on his school uniform. He goes to the bathroom and brushes his teeth
he looks at himself in the mirror whilst fixing his hair in a last ditch attempt he practices his smile and greetings to himself
"good morning" "hey my name is Mukai nice to meet you"
Feeling pumped he heads downstairs. Awaiting him is his mother he says "good morning mom!" what's for breakfast?"
She replies "I made some rice and chicken sit down and eat"
She says with a smile "Todays an important day for you"
Mukai sits and eats, unable to shrug his feelings from last night he starts to feel a bit nauseas
He gets up and heads for the door. before grabbing the handle he yells across the house to his mom
"Bye mom I'm off too school"
On his way to school he repeatedly glances at the house he ding dong ditched last night he lets out a sigh and sees that he has arrived at the school gates with big bold letters saying
*ABES ACADEMY*
He enters the school and starts looking for his class. he pulls the letter mailed to his house out of his pocket it reads class 1-3 seat #3
He thinks to himself "seat #3 huh means ill be nearing the front of the class"
He sees his class but not wanting to be early he decides to give himself a tour around the school
Walking through the halls Mukai sees a beautiful girl with silky hair up to her shoulders that reflected from the sun as well as smooth skin and big round eyes full of life, her skirt above her knees some what disobeying the school code.
Mukai thinks that she seems lost
Mukai seeing this lets out a smile as he mumbles to himself "such a pretty girl yet she's so lost"
*ding ding ding* The schools warning bell rang
Mukai hearing it quickly changes paths and heads to class
He enters the class which 10 people had already arrived all whom were piercing Mukai with their eyes as he walked in.
He sits down at his seat and looks around he thinks "no one i know is here, hopefully some are soon to arrive"
*dong dong dong* the school bell commencing the start of class rings.
A fairly middle aged lady with noticeable eye bags and short hair enters the class she announces "Hello Welcome to ABES academy i will be your teacher Mrs. Obace before we commence we will wait for the people who are cant find their way to arrive"
A few people began coming in once she finished her introduction most the seats seemed to be filled up
Mrs. Obace begins to say "It seems eve-" a girl enters and cuts Mrs. Obace off
Mukai turns to see who it is "its her the girl in the hallway, she's in my class huh that's funny i could've helped her" he thinks to himself. She looks around to find her seat once found she sat down in a seat far behind Mukai.
Mrs. Obace seeming slightly annoyed says "i believe that's everyone lets began self introductions we'll go from seat numbers starting from lowest to highest"
Looking at the boy in seat #1 she says "you may start"
A boy with blonde slightly curled hair stands up, he says "Hi my name is Hero i play basketball and one of my hobbies is listening to music i hope to make this a great year with you guys" Mukai hearing this thinks to himself "A guy like that would definitely fit in well"
The girl in seat #2 stands up she says "my name is Emilia i like hanging out with friends and i play volleyball its nice to meet all of you" she was quite tall and slightly tanned with short hair she sits back down and all the boys watched like tigers stalking their prey.
It was finally Mukai's turn he stands up gives a smile he says "My name is Mukai i play soccer and i love listening to music i hope we can all be friends"
He sits back down and thinks to himself "That seemed good i hope my smile didn't seem to forced, I seem athletic enough for them to believe i play a sport"
More introductions passed, Mukai turning to see who's next sees its the girl who came in late. She begins to stand up. All the boys began glaring at her some went as far as to stare her up and down.
She says with a smile on her face "Hi! my name is Saya i do many sports and i hope to get along with all of you" Mukai taken aback with how likeable she seems thinks "I'm lucky she's in my class"
A few more introductions passed and with that everyone had went.
*ding ding ding* the bell signifying lunch rang
Some people began scurrying out of their seats to talk to the people they already knew. Others went to the canteen to get something to eat. Mukai followed them.
Making his way to the canteen he spotted Saya walking with many of her newfound friends. She took a glance at him and Mukai let out a forceful smile.
Saya quickly turned her head back seemingly ignoring Mukai. He seems a bit offended but shrugs it off
He gets a snack from a vending machine and heads back to class. he sits down and looks around to see many cliques being formed.
Hero just a few seats away turns around to speak to Mukai.
Hero says "Wow so you do soccer right are you planning to join the soccer club?"
Mukai replies with "Most likely not this year i was hoping to focus on my studies. are you going to join the basketball club?"
Hero replies "Yea most likely..." he chuckles and says "I'm not that good though"
Emilia jumps in the conversation "He's lying he's just pretending to be humble"
"Shut up Emi" says hero
"Stop trying to act proper, hero" says Emilia
"oh?" Mukai thinks to himself he then says "you guys know each other?"
"Yea we've been neighbors since little" says hero
"We're basically childhood friends" says Emilia
Mukai gleers whilst saying "You guys must argue all the time"
Hero and Emilia look at each other and begin laughing as well, saying
"Yeah i guess you can say that"
The rest of the school day ended with nothing too exciting happening.
Emilia and hero wave goodbye to Mukai as they leave in the same direction together.
Mukai feeling around his trouser pockets realizes he had forgot his school ID back in class.
He heads back to class in a hurry, opening the door he sees his ID as well as one lone book on one of the desks. He grabs his ID and as he heading out the class he gets curious on what the contents of the note book are.
He makes his way through the desks to the back of the class, he picks up the book with small letters it says
*Property of Saya xxx*
Mukai looks around to see if anyone is watching. He opens the notebook, He finds many drawings some of people and some of popular manga characters. He seemed shocked he says to himself "She didn't mention she liked drawing"
An idea raced through his head "I should rip these drawings" in an instant he goes page by page shredding the papers into pieces.
5 minutes pass.
He looks at the floor seeing all the pieces of scrap and begins picking them up. He stuffs them in Saya desk along side the empty notebook. He thinks to himself "lets see what kind of reaction she'll have tomorrow at school" He begins to leave the class and walks towards the school gates while staring down at his shoes from guilt.
Thoughts of guilt raced through his mind
He says "i should go back"
"ill go and throw it out" "she'll think she just lost it or something"
He dashes again to the class to try to clean his mess and rid himself of guilt. He gets to the class doors. He sees the door has been opened he think to himself "i know i fully closed it why is there a crack" He peaks through the crack of the door and sees Saya burst into tears whilst rummaging through the pieces of paper in her desk.
He ran away.
He ran all the way to his house
He enters the front the door and walks towards the kitchen to greet his mother. Mukai's mother asks him "didn't school end 15 minutes ago" "we only live 5 minutes away you know?"
"Sorry mom i just took a slight detour" says Mukai
"Oh okay honey i made some curry if you'd like" replies his mother
He says "no I'm not that hungry" "I'll be in my room"
Mukai sets down his bag and lays on his bed, his arm covering his eyes
Many thoughts were racing his mind "Did she see me do it?"
"No way she did, no but she could've i took long to rip those papers"
"Dammit why was she crying? Were those papers that important to her"
"She doesn't know i did it its fine" "I'm sorry Saya" "I'm sorry"
