Asami woke up the next day feeling very positive and ready for school. Then she remembered yesterday and fell onto the bed with a thud wishing she could just die.
It took everything she had in her, to not turn around and run away but she was already standing in front of the building. She walked in, mumbling about the possibilities of everything going wrong today.
She walked into class and sat down. Her seat partner wasn't here yet, which was good, now she could calm down and think of what to say when he arrives. She took out her textbook and notebook for the first subject of the day, which was maths. She started doodling on the notebook with a blue pen. She then heard the door open and THEY were here. She grabbed her head in frustration, why did they have to come now, couldn't they come late like yesterday?
Oh it doesn't matter anymore, she just had to treat them like normal popular students and not go near them. She observed them for a while looking at their very beautiful faces. For a while she was just staring at them blankly.
Then she heard someone beside her say "Why are you staring at them?"
She unconsciously replied by saying "I'm just wondering how those humans can be so beautiful and get away with it"
She heard a snicker beside her before realising it was the boy from yesterday. She gasped when she noticed him sitting only five centimetres away from her. His black hair and black eyes made him seem like her twin. So all extras have black hair and average coloured eyes? He had a very handsome face though. Wait, she had to apologise didn't she?
She looked at him for a few moments as he looked back at her, clearly amused. She sighed. "I wanted to apologise for running off yesterday and not getting the chance to introduce myself. I was in a hurry to get somewhere" she said sheepishly. She then continued by sticking her hand out and saying "My name is Asami Miura, nice to meet you"
He shaked her hand and said "Hori Yoichi, pleasure to make your acquaintance, again" He said the last word with a soft chuckle.
He didn't seem like such a bad guy, maybe she really could be friends with him?
"Why don't we forget about the awkwardness yesterday, and be friends..may I call you Yoichi?"
"Sure! And I'll call you Asami, then"
She nodded in agreement and they both talked for a while, until the teacher came in to begin the lessons.
After a few classes the bell rang to signal the start of lunchtime.
"So where do you want to eat lunch, Asami?" Asked Yoichi.
She thought for a while and then said, "How about the cafeteria?"
Yoichi nodded and they both headed towards the cafeteria. Walking towards an empty table Yoichi told Asami to wait here while he went to grab two trays of food for them. He then sat down with two trays of food, passing one to Asami. She soon realised how hungry she felt, practically drooling looking at the food in front of her.
Yoichi didn't pay much attention to her antics and started to eat. So she followed his example by eating as well. They soon fell into a comfortable silence, eating their food in peace. They talked occasionally asking each other simple questions to get to know each other better.
Just as Asami was about to pick up a piece of sweet and sour chicken to eat, a sweet voice asked her a question.
"Hello! May we sit beside you? It seems your table is the only one with vacant seats."
Asami looked up to see who the voice belonged to, and instantly regretted it. It was the MC and behind her were three boys, one grinning happily, the other had an annoyed expression on his face while the last had a poker face. Red flags started to pop up in her head and she just blankly stared at them with her mouth hung wide open.
Yoichi, seeing her freeze up responded to the students in front of them.
"Sure, you can sit here"
'No Yoichi you can't, they'll be the cause of our demise!' She shouted mentally.
"Thank you!" Said the sweet voice of MC.
The group of students sat down on the table. MC beside Asami and to the left of MC sat Chiba Kyo. Beside Yoichi sat the two other boys; Imai Yasushi and Machida Katsu.
Asami still frozen up didn't hear MC say "Hi I'm Ueno Naomi, what's your name?"
Asami snapped out of her daze and looked at the girl talking to her. The girl seemed to be moving her lips and her pink eyes glittered as she spoke.
Yoichi cleared his throat to catch Asami's attention. She looked at him as he looked back at her expectantly. Did the MC say something to her? She must have not heard.
Asami looked at the MC beside her and asked the girl to repeat what she said. After MC repeated her question Asami answered.
"My name is Asami Miura, nice to meet you all" she said bending her head slightly.
Naomi looked at her confusedly. She then asked "Did you perhaps recently come from abroad Asami-san?"
Asami looked at her, wondering how she knew. "I did come back from holidays in America but how did you know?"
Naomi nodded at the new piece of information before saying, "Ah well you introduced yourself with your given name before your surname and I did that at first as well when I came to Japan, so that's how I knew"
Asami scolded herself for being so stupid.
"Oh I suppose I still haven't gotten used to coming back to Japan."
"Hey! You didn't tell me you went to America! Does that mean you know fluent English Asami? You as well Naomi-san?" said Yoichi in a whiny voice.
"I didn't think it was that important, Yoichi, and yes I do know English and I'm not fluent per se, it is my favourite subject though." She replied stoically.
"I know English too. I'm fluent, yes but that's because I lived there for most of my life." Said Naomi smiling gently.
"Wow! That's so cool, could you help me with English then? It's not really my strong point, haha" said Yoichi enthusiastically.
Asami and Naomi nodded.
For an extra character, Yoichi sure was talkative…she didn't mind though, at least this way she could attract less attention.
Asami looked towards the male leads who hadn't said anything until Katsu spoke up.
He had a snarky face as he spoke. "You don't need to brag about knowing English" he spoke each word with bitterness.
What surprised Asami was that he was looking at her when he said that.
Huh? She didn't brag about it though! In fact she was trying to be more humble since she was an American before becoming Asami. This dude seriously just wanted to piss her off didn't he?!
