[b]Arrival and morning assembly[/b]

It was a silent ride towards school. Once they arrived, Harumi bid her father and brother good-bye, while trying to stop herself from getting emotional. It would be embarrassing if anyone saw her cry as she said her goodbyes to her family; that's what children do on their first day of nursery school, after all. She fiddled with the strap of her side bag as she watched the car drive away. Although they weren't required to bring notebooks or books on the first day, she made sure to bring pens with her. She was sure that they would need it later in the day. Besides, she needed to put her phone and wallet inside.

As she walked inside the school building, she noticed how clean and polished it was. She looked around to take in the sight, when a voice spoke through the speakers. [i]“Good morning students, this is principal Takashi speaking. Please head over to the main hall. Check the notice board for your classes and then head to the auditorium for the morning assembly.”[/i] Harumi waited for the crowd to die down before heading towards the main hall, but after another voice spoke through the speakers, she knew that it wouldn't be necessary. [i]“Paging Hisakawa Masaru, Alois Francis Jeon, Maiko Nozomi, Kirra Argent, Harumi Yukimura, and Ichishori Arasake, please head to the principal’s office after the morning assembly to find out which class you’re assigned to. Thank you.”[/i]

Harumi headed towards the Auditorium instead, and she noticed that she was one of the first few students to arrive. She leaned back against the chair, and the piano made her feel even more emotional. [i]..Get yourself together. It's just school..[/i] Sooner than later, the auditorium started to get filled up slowly, and the sound of students talking filled the auditorium. She noticed a group of students behind her, and she realized that she would have to start socializing soon. For now, she just wanted to rest.

Harumi brushed her thoughts aside when the principal began his speech.

[b]Principal's office[/b]

The presentation had been very exhilarating. She was excited to see her dorm room, and she was also excited for the fireworks show that was going to take place tonight.

When she was about to head to class, she realized that she didn't even know which class she belonged to. She remembered the announcement this morning, and she quickly headed for the principal's office. It took her quite awhile to reach the place because she ended up taking the wrong turn, and she didn't realize that she had been going around in circles. Afraid that she was going to be late, she broke into a light jog towards the principal's office. Upon seeing the door, she took a breather before opening it.

[i]"Hello there. My name's Alois- and you are?"[/i]

A young man introduced himself to the girl before her, and she suddenly felt awkward as she stood there. Harumi took a seat on one of the couches silently. She looked at them quietly and hoped that someone would atleast break through the silence.
