8:35, April 2nd[/color][/right][hr][indent][color=silver]It began somewhat like a normal school day at Fukushima Uesugi Senior High.

Kotone's classmates went forward, one by one, introducing themselves to the classroom. Some were energetic in regards to such an opportunity, rambling off their future goals or how they wanted to make friends with everyone. There were those who seemed nervous, as Kotone expected, for even she was somewhat awkward herself. No one Kotone knew previously from her intermediate years appeared to have been accepted at Uesugi, and even if they did, Kotone likely wasn't super close with them. 

Or so she thought.

[color=ec008c][b]"Ah... K-Kotone? I didn't know--"[/b][/color] A youthful voice chimed, directly calling out Kotone by her first name. Kotone had been listening to each and everyone introduce themselves, but finding out that her own cousin was in the same class was a head turner. Either a trickster god must've been playing tricks on Kotone, or she had considerable, albeit awkward luck on her first day to have already made a friend [i]and[/i] have someone she already knew at Uesugi Senior High.

As Yukine dived her head downwards to give her notebook a death stare, Kotone opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, a boy dashed into the classroom, flinging the door wide open and shouting at the top of his voice.[/color] [b]"I'M SORRY I'M LATE!"[/b] [color=silver] He hollered to the entire class.[/color] [b]"MENMA PASSED ON AND I GOT HIT BY A SCOOTER!"[/b]

[color=silver]Needless to say, Tanaka-sensei had something to say about the dramatic entrance, especially the fact that one of his students was hit by a scooter on the first day of school. [color=dodgerblue][b]"Why don't we have you see the nurse first,"[/b][/color] Tanaka-sensei paused, his eyes scanning a chart. [color=dodgerblue][b]"Igarashi-san?"[/b][/color] Tanaka-sensei continued, noting his student's disheveled and battered appearance.

However, before their teacher could get a reply from the boy, another student arrived late to class, this time a girl. Contrary to the loud, somewhat chubby boy from before, the girl took her seat silently, and went forward with continuing the class introductions. Apparently the girl was foreign, according to how her name sounded. Outside of the television and the internet, Kotone had never seen a foreigner in person until today.

And it seemed a lot of them were coming out of the woodwork, counting the Americans that Kotone saw at the local diner. Fukushima Uesugi Senior High was a top school in Japan, so they were probably scouted for some sports team. 

Despite the fact that Kotone was likely next to introduce herself, there were other thoughts on her mind, namely the battered arrival of Igarashi-san. Looking around the classroom, no one had yet offered to escort Igarashi to the nurse's office, prompting Kotone to stand up from her seat to volunteer herself. 

[color=C27C46][b]"A-Ah, sensei! I'll help him to the nurse's office."[/b][/color] Kotone spoke, taking a moment to glance at her cousin for a split-second. She'd have to speak with Yukine later, likely.[/color][/indent]
