Location: Staff Office
Time: Morning

"Alright Miss Kondo," The gruffy looking middle aged man picked up a stack of papers before putting them into a folder with 'Class 2-3' scribbled in a sharpie on the front. "Welcome to Higashi High. You'll be joining Class 2-3 and I'm your homeroom teacher, Mr. Aida." He introduced himself with the most unenthusiastic voice Misaki has ever heard. She nodded with a smile. "Thank you Mr Aida, I'll be in your care this year." The teacher stood up from his desk, the folder in hand as he acknowledged his new student with a nod. "Follow me." He instructed before heading out of the office. Misaki hastily followed, excited and nervous about her new class. She wondered if her childhood friend, Ri-chan, will be in this school. She hoped so, she moved back and transferred here just so she could see him again. She giggled softly, her hand over her mouth to muffle any excited squeals.

Mr Aida slid the door open just as the first morning bell rang, nonchalantly walking in and facing the class at the podium. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she followed the teacher and the class immediately quietened down. All attention was on her now, she stood next to the podium and faced her fellow students with a smile. "This is Misaki Kondo. She'll be joining us from today. Please introduce yourself Kondo." The homeroom teacher introduced, writing her name on the black board behind him. 

"Hello everyone!" She chirped, "My name is Misaki and I grew up in this town but had to move due to my parents' jobs. I'm back now and I hope I can be friends with all of you!" She bowed politely and smiled, glancing at everyone. "Alright, you can have the empty seat in the middle row." Mr Aida dismissed quickly. "Turn your history books to page 48." He followed up immediately, directing it to the entire class. Misaki merrily walked to her assigned seat, returning smiles to her new desk neighbours.
