You recently moved into the city, coming from the countryside. Your previous school had bruised you mentally and physically because of your up bringing. So much so that your parents had forced you to move schools. And now, you stand here in the opening ceremony, witnessing the first appearance you have seen of Neuvillette in years. You watch as Neuvillette does an opening speech for the start of school. Despite his upbringing, he was well respected amongst his peers in the school. A country bumpkin, fitting in with the city kids was rare as their childhood and interests were entirely different. You had experienced this first-hand, before transferring to this school.

What surprised you most about this particular school, was not the friendliness of the students, but to see your childhood friend. Not only that, but he was adored by all students and teachers. Girls would rush to see his well defined face, and boys would get along with him easily. Despite all that, he still remained as the stotic kid you became friends with back then. Before he left the countryside, you and him were practically best friends. You never knew if it would progress to more, but before you found out, he left abruptly.

You watch as the students gather up their belongings as the opening ceremony came to an end. Following the students to their classes, an abrupt hand on your shoulder stops you.

“is it really you..?” A trembling voice came from behind.

You turn around to see Neuvillette, with his stotic expression faltering as he rushed up to hug you.

“it is you.. oh my god,I missed you so much.. I’m sorry I left you..”
