Well, I'm here.

Move to Japan was something that I've never imagined before. But, yeah. Here I am, in Hyogo. Wearing that sort-of-kawaii student uniform, standing in front of the Inarizaki High School gate. I sighed, looking at my skirt.


"Damn, I've never worn something this short in public. Haaa. I guess this is normal here." I stopped looking at my skirt and finally walk inside. The school is nice. "Hmm. Everything looks good." Today I just come to take a look at this school that I'll attend soon. 'Well, I don't really care about this school, tho. I'll spend only one year here.' I thought while smiling gently and look at the sky. "Being a third-year student in a different country. Will I be able to do it properly?" Still looking at the sky, my mind suddenly becomes complicated because of that thought. I exactly know how different my country and Japan's education are. Thinking about that alone already make me lost my energy. "Haaaaaah, I wanna go home already." I'm grumbling while sobbing inside. I continue my stroll around the school with an unmotivated walk. When I'm looking around the clubs' room, suddenly I bump into someone. "Ugh. My head." I'm crouching down and slowly peek at the one who I bump into. A boy.


"Ah, I-I am sorry. I don't know that there will be someone around in this homeroom hour. Can you stand up?" He looks worried, sweatdropped. He offers his right hand to me.


"Yes, my head is still intact. I guess I can stand up by my own." I don't take his hand and he smiles awkwardly. As I straighten the wrinkles in my uniform, I finally get a better look at this boy in front of me. 'He is neat.' I thought.


"Um, are you a new student? You don't look familiar here. Oh, by the way, I'm the student council president, Kaname Yuki. May I know your name?" He still offering his right hand, but I think for now he asks for a handshake? Yes, that's the most logical thing here. (Note: this president is my original character, cuz Idk who the hell the real student council president here, lol.)


"I'm Y/n L/n, I'm a transferee from (your country). Nice to meet you, Kaname-san." I give him a handshake and my best smile. I feel that he flinched when I shake his hand, but I don't care. After I let his hand go, I look at his appearance once again. His wavy brunette hair and blue eyes make him look fresh and warm at the same time. 'Is this president that kind of charismatic-but-softie-leader-like person?' My thought wandering again.


"Nice to meet you, too, L/n-san." I give him a gentle smile and he does the same. And surprisingly, we both just smiling at each other for long enough time, and that's freakin awkward.


"Um, actually, I need to go to the office and meet the headmaster. Could you help me, please?" Just break the ice and ask him to walk you there, y/n. I hold a sigh that wants to come out from my mouth and keep my smile instead. "And please, just call me by my given name. I'll be really happy if you do, Kaname-san." I still have my smile.


"Yeah, sure, y/n-san. Um, the office is this way." He directly walks inside the school building, shows me where to change the indoor shoes, and then he goes to his locker. Here it is. Why do we need to change our shoes every time we go in and out? I guess it's the basic culture in Japan. It's not that it is bad or something, but I'm someone that easily forgot this kind of little change. Sigh. My sigh is longer than before and without I know, Kaname is already standing behind me. Yes, he is there with a bunch of pink envelopes. He smiles awkwardly when I see him struggling with his paper. I sigh again, but this time along with a gentle smile. 'This poor boy, I guess he's quite a popular president.'


"Need help with that?" I offer my hand to him. His eyes widened in shock. 'Um, should I suppose to not offer him any help?'


"Ah, no. That's fine. I can—oh no!" Those pink envelopes suddenly falling all over and he blushed. Not that I can see it clearly, but he is flustered. His ears look redder than before. And his face looks like he is really nervous. He directly crouching to pick those letters. But before he can pick them, I already take the big map from his left hand. The map is not that big, it's just a little thick.


"You'll help me to meet the headmaster, Kaname-san. So, at least let me help you bring this map." I then crouching and collect the letters without peeking at them even the slightest. That's privacy. I'm a lady after all. I know some manner.


He chuckles, "Alright, thanks then." After we collected all of his admirers' letters, he shows me the way to the office. In the middle of the way, "Y/n-san, why you got transferred here?" He asks subconsciously out of curiosity. But then, he realizes, "Ah, I'm sorry it's rude to suddenly ask something like this. I'm truly sorry." He bows deeply.


I give him a smile and chuckle, "No, that's fine. Hmm, how should I put it then? Um, to put it simply, my family moved here this winter. Well, the reason, let's not talk about it. It doesn't matter anyway. And yeah, here I'm, happy and all in my new school." I smile brightly to show him that that's the real reason why I'm being transferred here. My family is truly happy. It's just that we have some sort of problem in my father's family that makes my mom always being discriminated against because she is just a normal person with no supreme wealth whatsoever. So, we decided to move here to Hyogo, my mom's home city. My parents really love each other, and they really love me. Their only daughter. That's enough for me, I don't care about my father's family. I don't care about their obsession with maintaining their family's wealth. I just care about my father, I only have him now. He has been through a lot because of them. And I'm really depressed back then when I'm still with my father's family. They're just, sigh. Let's say, so prideful. That's it. In the first place, something so luxurious is not my thing, so do my father and mom. Even though my father is born a golden spoon or well something like that, he despised something that makes him look superior to others. He just doesn't like it. And here is my mom, a beauty, humble and kind, hoho, then father fell in love with her. Cough. I suddenly blushing when I remember that silly, lame, but fluffy story of my parents' love. My heart feels heavy all of a sudden. Because after I recalled that lovely memories, instantly, I will remember how my mom's death. My mind never failed to do that. I exhaled harshly, 'What a pathetic life I have.' I weakly smile and chuckle.


"Y-y/n-san, are you alright. I'm sorry if it makes you remember bad memories." He really looks worried. Pfft, there's definitely nothing to be happy about my family. I'm laughing cheerily thinking about how hopeless I'm and he looks even more shocked.


"Sigh." After I feel content with my laughter, I continue my words, "Bad memories are bound to be laughed at, Kaname-san." I smile gently at him. He tilts his head, confused. I just let him be. He doesn't ask anything after that.


And finally, "Here we are, y/n-san. Um, I'm sorry but, I need to go back to my class quickly. I ditch the class a little bit to take this paper after all, and actually, I don't get formal permission to come out, ahaha. You can enter the office and ask one of the teachers to guide you to the headmaster's office. The headmaster's office is inside too." I give the map back to Kaname.


"Kaname-san," I call him before he goes away.


"Yes, what is it?" He looks at me and gives me that 'Do you need anything else'-look.


I tried to be serious, "I guess student council president also do things like ditching the class without formal permission." I can't maintain my serious expression and just chuckling but I succeed to cover my mouth with my right hand then left him alone in the corridor. I don't know how his expression after it because I already inside the office. My mood becomes much lighter because of my silly joke before. I happily ask one of the teachers in the room to show me where is the headmaster right now. She pointed out a classic door behind the teacher's desks and I directly understand what she means. "Thank you, ma'am." I give her a simple sweet smile before go there and meet the headmaster. Everything is good with the headmaster and he welcomed me to the Inarizaki High School. I got the schedule for my classes, and I guess I can attend the class tomorrow. It's definitely too soon. But I'll gladly go tomorrow.


I step out of the office and give my greeting to the teacher who shows me the headmaster room before closing the door. After I get out of the office, suddenly the bell ring. 'Seems like, it's lunchtime.' I thought while walking away from the office. At that time, I don't know that there will be big trouble approaching me. Until—
