Rika's attention was called to the gymnasium as the teachers began ushering people to go in. She entered the gymnasium with Celeste, but lamented after finding the chairs were organized by class. Seeing the red haired girl go into the 2nd year section answered one of her questions at least. She proceeded to follow a crowd of students in the dimly lit room. After finding a seat between a quiet black haired boy, and a peppy brown haired girl she sat anxiously. She had been listening to the students before hand, they all talked about how "grand" the opening sessions for this particular highschool were. She could only let her imagination wander until moments later the gymnasium lights cut and the room went completely dark.

Rika could only close her eyes as the stage lit up so brightly in the dark room. The sound of electric guitars and drum sets banging on her eardrums. [i]Okay. I could do with out the no dark, dark, then very bright combination![/i] Reopening her eyes, she saw a man in a black suit striding across the stage with flares going off behind him in sync with his passing. Squinting at him, he was also wearing sunglasses. Clearly this guy had a flare for the dramatic. Though, with all the flashing lights she wished she had her own pair of shades right now. Despite all that, she smiled, as the showy entrance made it's conclusion and the suited man announced himself as the principal. [i]That guy is our principal...Sweet! This is gonna be a fun next few years for sure![/i] She excitedly thought to herself.

After the principal gave a short, but nice speech. He enthusiastically called the student council president to the stage. Rika clapped along with the rest of the auditorium. [i]Nanase Suzu huh? I'll have to remember that one...[/i] Looking closer at the girl, she noticed she was wearing more male oriented attire. [i]Damn! Why doesn't she have to wear a skirt?[/i] She thought, being a little jealous. Unless she was actually a boy, just with an odd name for a boy. She shrugged, and continued watching as the girl had concluded her enthusiastic speech with an arm raised high in the air. She couldn't help but mimic it at the time.
