Today our class accepted a new student. Rumours said she was beautiful and came from a foreign country, they said.
A moment later, the student entered our class. Guess what? the rumours were true. She is really beautiful; like really.
"My name is Shiori Yasutake. Nice to meet you all." she said while waving to us with a sweet smile.
She has blond hair with pure blue eyes. Maybe if she really came from a foreign country she shouldn't have a Japanese name right? But whatever she is, she really has that nice body...is she really sixteen?
"Alright, you can go and take the seat beside Toru Wakui." said my teacher.
Shiori bows and walks toward the seat beside me. "Hi, there" greeted Shiori with a calm and friendly tone. I greeted her back with a bit awkward tone.
Afterwards, we continue our lesson as usual. After the class is over, suddenly all the students rush toward Shiori's desk. The girls ask Shiroi want to become friends and get to know her more. And boys? well, this is a school of harem, no? Of course, they want to recruit her to their clubs.
But, when I looked at her, she seemed uncomfortable. Probably she is just awkward I guess. Well, she will get used to it eventually.
I get up from my seat walk out of the class and go to the cafeteria. It's time for a break after all. Well. While they are busy with the new student I quickly go to the cafeteria.
"wait!"
Shiori shouted and ran to me. She then nonchalantly walked beside me to the cafeteria. She looked at me and nervously smiled. Looks like she needs some space huh? Well, why not lend some of my space then?
"Cafeteria?" I said spontaneously.
She nodded and smiled. "Cafeteria, then" she replied.
Students from my class looked at me with envy and a jealous gaze. I glanced over my shoulder and turned back.
"Thanks, for helping me here, um...Toru right?" asked Shiori in a hesitant voice.
"Yup, that's me. And it's not a big deal, don't worry. They always like that. Give them some time to know about you."
"You...look different though. This school is about making a harem, no? Why did you not ask me as well? I mean all the boys in the class desperately want me to join them..."
I chuckled. I know what she's trying to say. Good, she already knows about this school though and really quick. Even, I need a week to get used to it.
"Oh, so you already used to it? I mean terms of 'harem'. Don't get me wrong. Rumours said you came from a foreign country."
She chuckled. "Oh, that? Come on, I'm a hundred per cent Japanese. It's just my father's genes so I inherited his eyes and hair." She explained while walking to the cafeteria talking together. To be surprised, she's a really talkative person.
While we were in deep talking, I also showed her around as we walked to the cafeteria. As we talked to each other, the more I learned about her deeper.
"So, Toru. You get to this school a week from me. So how far I mean how many members do you have in your 'household' now?"
"To be honest, only one for now. I know it's surprising right?"
She shakes her head and smiles. "to me, it's not. you just don't want to be uncomfortable with your main girl right? And you want to take it slow."
That was surprisingly true. She just read my mind or what?
After that, we finally arrived at the cafeteria. After ordering our meal, we go find an empty table. Then, I saw Hikari waving her hand while sitting at the empty table.
Shiori and I, quickly walk toward the table and sit with her.
"Hey, Toru~ Oh? Is that a new kid in our class?" says Hikari with an amusing smile.
"Yeah, she is. Just arrived. Speaking of class, where were you? Rarely see you didn't in the class this morning." I said.
"Just cleaning our house you know. Who knew we got new members?"
Shiori quietly ate while looking at us with curious eyes.
I notice her and stop my conversation with Hikari. Hikari also noticed my gesture and grinned and looked at Shiori.
"What?" Shiori asked with complete confusion.
"Sorry to leave you out, Shiori."
"Huh?? No no, it's okay, Toru. It's nothing to be apologized for! Just continue talking with her. I don't mind."
Both me and Hikari continue staring at her. I know they just met but I don't want her to feel left out.
"Okay, I understand! Just please don't stare at me that much! I'm just curious about your relationship, that's all!" says Shiori with flustered face.
"Fufu~" chuckled Hikari while covering her mouth.
"I see, maybe you should know it first. Her name is Hikari Izuhara, the first girl in my 'household'."
Shiori's eyes widened as she heard about Hikari. Maybe she didn't quite hear when Hikari said "our".
"Oh, I see... so this is your first girl huh? She is really beautiful! How lucky you are, Toru." says Shiori while smacking my back.
"Aren't you beautiful yourself, Shiori-san?" says Hikari.
Shiori paused and her cheeks slowly became red. Hikari and I saw her reaction and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?? don't look at me~~~!" squeaks Shiori while covering her face and turning back at us.
We continue laughing at her reaction even more.
Later, we both walked back to class. Along the way, Hikari and I still laughing about earlier. Even though, Shiori insisted on dropping it from the topic conversation.
With that, we have something to tease about now. Me and Hikari keep laughing and Shiori keep hitting us playfully. Especially, Hikari. I just realized how teaser she can be! Hope she didn't find something embarrassing about me.
"Toru, I liked her. Please make her our new member." suddenly stop teasing Shiori and speak to me.
"Huh?" said Shiori and I at the same time.
