[i]"Okay then, I will announce your seatmates. Go and sit with them after your names are mentioned."[/i]

Harumi was quietly looking at the scenery outside of the window. She could hear the teacher speak, but she couldn't make out her words because she was busy in her own train of thoughts. Harumi stared at the birds that chirped lightly as they stood atop the branches of a Cherry Blossom tree. She began to think about her family. Were they going to be fine without her? Who was going to prepare their breakfast? Different questions began to fill her mind, making her slightly worried.

[i]"I hope you all get along with your seatmates. For now, you have free time until break, so feel free to get to know your classmates more."[/i]

As soon as she heard this, her train of thoughts broke, and she could hear the noise that came from the students moving around the classroom. She let out a deep breath, wanting to enjoy the scenery before moving to where her seatmate was. In the first place, she didn't know who it was because she didn't pay attention when the teacher announced the seatmates.

Harumi was about to stand up when a voice spoke beside her, catching her off guard. [i]"Hey there..."[/i] She looked at him, and she recognized him to be the guy that she met in the principal's office. [i]"My name's Alois. You're Harumi, right? I remember you from the principle's office..."[/i] Before Harumi could respond, he reached out a hand and smiled, [i]"Since we're stuck together for the rest of the year, let's get along well, yeah?"[/i]

Harumi gave him a small smile before reaching her hand out. She placed her hand over his and gently shook it, "Yeah. it's Harumi. Pleased to meet you." She replied.
