Kimiko bolted upright to the ringing sound of her alarm. She bopped the top of the clock to stop it's insistent wake up call. What an amazing dream... she had finally confessed to her senpai and he accepted her feelings. Everyone at school was so jealous.

Wait.. school... She glanced at the clock. Twenty-five after eight...? School started in five minutes! Kimiko bolted out of bed, stripped from her green chick patterned pajamas to put on her school uniform. She hurriedly brushed out her hair and brushed her teeth. Bouncing on one foot as she hauled the second sock on, she took a quick glance in the mirror to make sure she didn't look completely awful before rushing down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Kimiko, you're going to be late aga-"

"I know mom! Don't worry!" Kimiko interrupted as she grabbed the last piece of toast and hurried out the door. She slid to the front door, holding the toast in her mouth, threw on her backpack and slipped into her shoes. "I'mff go-inf now!" she called out through the slice of toast before rushing out the door and making a beeline for school. 

School... they said there wouldn't be just one, but multiple transfer students today! Kimiko couldn't wait to meet them.
