I don't know what to do now.
I was punished by Mr. Smith on my first day of school, the reason being that I didn't show my manners in front of him.
When Mr. Smith was about to explain something, I put my head on the table as if I wanted to sleep when I was just bored and had no intention of sleeping.
Seeing me like that, Mr. Smith immediately told me to leave the class with his gaze so sharp that it pierced my own eyes.
I could have refused and stayed in class, but I didn't want to make Mr. Smith any angrier.
Not only that, I was sure that my classmates would be even more frightened if they saw Mr. Smith in a fit of rage.
Well, there was no point in discussing the previous incident.
Now I just don't know what to do.
Should I wait outside the classroom?
Or can I wander around the school grounds freely?
It turned out that this school was too troublesome, so I thought about going back to my father's place.
No, I shouldn't be thinking like that.
My father had gone to the trouble of enrolling me in a school that was a collection of many geniuses.
At first I doubted that I could do the entrance test by holding myself back, but it turned out that I could do it.
I passed and was admitted to this school with an average score, and then I was placed in Class E, a class that was a collection of students who had the same average score as me.
I have to be able to live here while holding myself together until I graduate.
I don't know what things will be waiting for me when I graduate, but one thing for sure is that my father will praise me for successfully graduating from this school.
I'll save that good feeling for later, because now I have to face what I've done here.
Maybe I'll just walk around the school grounds so I don't get bored.
"What a hassle," I muttered.
I walked leisurely while enjoying the tranquility, it was also one of my ways to pass the time.
The school environment isn't bad either.
There is still a lot of greenery here although most of it has been filled with modern technology such as glass screens displayed in various areas including the roadside.
Many students and teachers wander around the school while looking at the screens that display news such as weather forecasts.
The screens have no sound and only display images, so I guess displaying news such as weather forecasts is a good choice.
I don't know how long I've been walking, but the school environment already looks familiar.
Maybe I'm lost, but I don't care because I can still ask someone who is a resident of the school around here, be it a senior or a teacher.
I wondered how big this school was, including the exact size.
I thought I'd find the end of the school blocked by a wall and the naughty students would skip out over the wall.
But I was wrong, this school is bigger than I thought.
"BRUK!"
Unexpectedly someone bumped into me while I was casually walking, of course this was unexpected.
I slowly turned around and saw a silver-haired girl who seemed to be walking frantically until she unknowingly bumped into me.
"Are you okay?"
"Hey, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! It's my fault!"
A moment after apologizing, this girl said something with an expression I couldn't guess.
"Yeah, no problem."
"Senior, can you take me to class 1-E? I'm already so late... I must be punished. Yes, definitely! Help me, senior!"
Though I wanted to leave her immediately, but she asked me for help instead.
I was a little surprised that this girl was in the same class as me.
Moreover, I felt strange for being called a senior by this girl, I guess she mistook me for her senior.
"Sorry, I'm not your senior. It seems that we are in the same class, just now I was punished by Mr. Smith and I was here."
"Eh?! You're also in class 1-E? Why are you being punished? Then who is Mr. Smith? Are you okay?"
"Can you ask me one question at a time? Really, you're questioning me like an information-hungry detective."
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
"No problem."
"Then, what's your name? I think it would be best if we got to know each other first."
"Umm... don't you want to go back to class? There's no point in you staying with me."
I warned this girl to go back to her class immediately and not stay with me for too long.
"I still don't know who Mr. Smith is, but I'm sure that I'll be punished by him just like you. I'm already very late, you know?"
"Oh, didn't someone wake you up?"
"Yes, there was, but I kept ignoring him... then I was punished by him for not getting up."
"Is that so?"
I came to understand about the person in charge of waking up the students every morning, he carried out his duties like an alarm and punished every student who couldn't get up.
It's a good thing I was able to force my body to wake up this morning, otherwise I would have gotten punished like this girl.
"Then back to the beginning, what's your name? I want to get to know you!"
"If you want to talk about things, wouldn't it be better if we talked in a more casual setting?"
"Yes, you're right, anyway. But where?"
I looked around and found what seemed to be a park.
"What about that park over there?"
My finger pointed in the direction of the park I was referring to, then this girl's gaze followed the direction of my finger.
"Yes, alright."
After she agreed, the two of us went to the park.
The distance between me and this girl to the park was only about 50 meters, so it only took a few minutes.
"Here, right?"
"Yes."
Arriving there, my eyes were immediately drawn to the beauty of this garden.
Beautiful flower beds and green trees filled the entire garden, just looking at it made me feel very calm.
"I so want to lie down, isn't it very beautiful?"
Without thinking I immediately lay down on this green grass, it felt very comfortable and soft like being on a golf course.
Then later this girl came next to me, she didn't lie down and just sat while looking at my face.
"Umm, so what's your name... senior?"
"I told you I'm not your senior, we're in the same class after all."
"Sorry, I forgot!"
"..."
I ignored her because I was enjoying the tranquility of this park too much.
The air was so cool, and of course I wanted to sleep here.
"What a cheat, are you angry that I called you senior by mistake?"
"I don't care about that, silver hair. I'm just too relaxed because of the beauty of this garden."
"Why are you calling me silver hair?!"
This girl was suddenly angry.
Well, naturally.
I called her by her hair color and I think she didn't like that.
"Excuse me, you wanted to make an introduction, right? My name is Satomi Adney, please just call me Satomi! I'm in class 1-E just like you and maybe... well, that's all."
"Huh?! Your introductions are so boring. Whatever, my name is Fisa Campbell, call me Fisa! If you ask my hobbies, I really enjoy playing basketball and I'm going to become a basketball athlete someday. As a classmate... greetings, Satomi!"
"Yes, I'd like to meet you too, Fisa! Please cooperate for some time to come!"
"Please cooperate too!"
So her name is Fisa Campbell, a girl who will be my classmate for some time to come.
She's quite tall and suited to be a basketball athlete as she wants to be, I think Fisa has a charm no less than Lina, I think I'm sure that she'll be popular in the class as well.
"..."
There was silence for a few minutes as we both enjoyed the beauty of the park.
The scenery presented by this garden was indeed very beautiful, so it was only natural that we wanted to keep looking at it.
"Satomi."
Fisa called out to me, as if she was also satisfied with what she had seen.
"What's wrong, Fisa?"
"I want to go back to class. You too, Satomi! We can't stay here too long."
"Do you know where the class is? Didn't you get lost and bump into me earlier?"
"That's why I told you to go back!"
As expected, Fisa wanted me to take her to class 1-E.
"Yeah, but I got lost too."
"Huh?! What do you mean?"
"Well, I was told to leave the classroom by Mr. Smith and I walked around the school area without knowing the direction. Well, I didn't expect that the school was bigger than I thought. So I got lost."
"What the heck, we'll have to ask people around here. Let's go, Satomi!"
"Let me lie down a little longer!"
"That can be done later, now please tell me about Mr. Smith as we walk towards class!"
"Uhh..."
I was surprised.
Of course I was surprised.
How could I not be, Fisa casually sat on my feet and then forcibly pulled my hands away.
I had no choice but to stand up.
Because if this continued, then there was a possibility that people who saw the two of us would simply misunderstand.
I didn't want that to happen, so I could only obey her.
"Let's go!"
"Okay, okay."
With my hand still held by Fisa, the two of us left the beautiful garden.
Fisa Campbell, this is the first time I've been actively involved in a conversation with someone, let alone a girl.
I can feel a few things from her, one of which is her high curiosity about something she doesn't understand.
