Today was your first day at your new school: Akademi High.

You arrived at campus around seven AM. The first hours were spent exploring the building, getting to know a few people, and the overall vibe. So far, it didn’t seem too bad.

Class began at point eight thirty. You slowly made your way to your classroom, room 1-2, arriving just in time. The teacher introduced you to your new classmates and pointed to your assigned seat—a table in the back next to a girl called Kokoro Momoiro.

She had platinum blonde hair tied into a neat ponytail and flamingo pink bangs. The normal school uniform was worn, but accessorized with leg warmers, bracelets and matching pink jacket tied around her waist. Given her flashy appearance, you figured she must one of the more popular students around here.

That being said, class went by in a blur and you managed to get along surprisingly well with Kokoro. You didn’t talk much of course, it was class—but from the brief interactions you did have, she gave off a generally good first impression, despite being somewhat intimidating. So, wanting to make new connections, you casually asked if you could sit with her during lunch.

You didn’t expected much really—a rejection or excuse maybe. But after a brief moment of hesitation, you were relieved to hear that Kokoro agreed. Though you didn’t know why—you had the strange feeling that this lunch would decide much more than just where you sat.

Together you walked to the back of the school where several tables stood surrounded by bamboo, Sakura trees and blooming bushes, giving it a cozy feel. You tried to talk to Kokoro on the way, asking normal questions, laughing at her jokes—yet an unspoken tension lingered between the two of you.

The cotton candy haired girl lead you to one of the tables in the back near a vending machine. Four other girls—Musume Ronshaku, Hana Daidaiyama, Hoshiko Mizudori and Kashiko Murasaki—were already sat when the two of you arrived.

For a moment, all eyes were on you—Kokoro casually introduced you to them—then the conversation resumed, as if nothing had happened.
