When the microphone was taken from her Suzu took a step back, crossing her arms to her chest as the principal continued on with the entrance ceremony. It seemed to be coming to a surprisingly normal end considering the over the top events that began it, but Suzu already new otherwise. And the ordinarily stoic student council president could not help but grin. The explosion of colors and enthusiastic shouting was just like something out of one of the many manga she read. Still one thing did surprise her. She found herself blinking after the fire works display with the principal no where to be found. She scratched her head looking for any sign of the man but sure enough there was none. With a shrug of the shoulders Suzu proceeded back behind the stages curtain. After all it was still only the morning, there was a whole day left to get through.

Suzu made it to her first class without any hassle, and plenty early at that. She took a corner seat at the back of the class room located adjacent to one of the doors. This was almost always the seat she took just in case someone needed to find her during a class. It was the easiest seat to slip in and out of while avoiding making much of a disturbance actually. Fortunately the language class went by smoothly without any such interruptions. The first day of classes was always hit or miss. It could either be insane and hectic with any number of things going wrong or it could be smooth and calm with everyone simply winding into the return to school life. This year it seemed to be the latter.

When the language class ended with the sound of the lunch bell Suzu lingered for a moment, finishing up a couple of notes while various students filtered out of the class. When she finally stood up and stepped into the hallway the gossiping of a couple of students passing by caught her attention. The student council president set a hand on her hip with a light huff at the rumor, proceeding down the hall to the student councils room. Rumors were always normal in this school, or any school really, and they always turned out to be spawned from something silly when you really took the time to look into them. Still those weird little rumors about paranormal happenings were part of the whole flavor of school life and they usually did little harm.

When Suzu made it to the student council room it was empty as expected. Most of the members liked to mill about in the cafeteria or various club rooms on the first day. Suzu stepped over to a desk and thumbed through a couple stacks of paper before sitting down and stretching out, enjoying the bit of solace and quiet for the moment.
