With a nod and a wave, Kotone chose to part ways with Egusa-san. Kotone had expected her first day at high school to be buzzing full of activity, yet she hadn't made it to the school gates without feeling mentally exhausted. Egusa-san seemed to be full of energy despite her size—a complete contrast to the more introverted Kotone. Even more so, Kotone's first interaction with a fellow classmate at Fujioka High had been rather awkward, as the two girls had differentiating views on physical fitness.

Approaching the high school, Kotone walked her bike towards the student bike racks, and chained it to the rack. It was rather unlikely that someone would try and steal her bike—after all, what idiot would steal something in a town where most people knew each other—but Kotone figured it was always better to be safe than sorry. Once her bike had been safely secured to the metal rack, Kotone pulled out her phone from her school bag and took a quick snapshot of her now chained bike, intending to send a captioned picture to her mother, who was still waiting for a response from her daughter.

Sliding her phone back into her bag, Kotone made her way further into the high school. Kotone knew she needed to check what class she was assigned to, but what would happen after that? There was still some time to kill before the opening ceremony and orientation would take place. Perhaps Kotone could explore the school, potentially running into Egusa-san again or even Tsubasa-chan. The idol-addicted girl and Kotone had been friends for years, and while they hadn't talked much lately, she did receive word from her mother that the two of them were going to be attending the same school this year.

Unfortunately, hanging out with Tsubasa-chan hadn't felt the same since Kazuto-kun moved away those years ago.[/indent]
