Saitou Academy. Her parents had finally made the decision to send her off from home. It came as a shock which then subsided into quiet understanding. She didn't blame them - she blamed herself. The 5'3" (160cm) girl tugged at her rainbow colored bobble hat, pulling it just above her dark brown, almond shaped eyes. Mina curiously looked out the car window, watching the unfamiliar scenery fly by. Currently, she was in a cab, heading straight towards the academy. She fidgeted in her seat, her hands tugging at the seat belt. She coughed, then glanced at the stoic cab driver before playing with the belt again. 

Anxiety waved through her. A new school meant new people. People would be seeing and talking to her for the first time. Would they judge her for [I]that[/I]? she wondered. "Well they don't need to know," she thoughtfully concluded. Maybe this was her chance to start a new life. Real friends. Maybe a lover? A cough from the cab driver shook Mina from her thoughts. She then realized that she had accidentally let out a tiny squeal at the thought of a lover. A red blush covered her cheeks as she slid down further into the seat. However, a small smile had already begun to form. Hugs would be nice. Very very nice.

She paid the taxi, said her thanks, and was left staring at the school. She exhaled once and began to walk into the throng of noisy teenagers. Mina felt as if she was being rocked back and forth. "So many people," she muttered in her native language, warily looking around. She reached the notice board, finding her name. Her eyes raked through the other names on the board, taking care to look over Section B twice. . 

With that, she went with the flow and headed towards the auditorium. The piano music was nice, but she wasn't really interested in music. Mina took a seat, her attention caught by an old man entering the stage.
