Freshman Worries

High school, the time for love and friendships to truly blossom. At least that’s what I thought when I came to this school. Minato Suzuki, a quirky but shy kid who knows nothing of real life mannerisms. Is finally a freshman in high school. Many hopes were piled up in his expecting mind as he walked the halls of his new school. He looked down at his classroom sheet to find the room number for his first class; Room 401. As he sized up the students who walked past him and admired the artwork on the walls of the hallway he would occasionally glance up at the room numbers until he finally found his classroom and proceeded to walk in.

“Hey good morning Minato, so you finally made it. You know class starts in like two minutes right!” A small mousey looking boy who has dark hair, glasses and small Beady eyes spoke up as he walked into his first bell class. “Of course I know that, unlike some people who like to be early I like to be right on time.” Minato rolled his eyes and took his seat next to his friend who spoke up. “So you actually graduated middle school Haru! Your parents must be so proud and surprised.” Minato mockingly smiled at him. Haru ignored him like he was used to these types of comments.

“You know, laugh all you want. But at least I have a girlfriend.” Minato scornfully looked towards Haru. “How dare you go there, I’ll find one. We’re in high school now,how could I not find one! This is the time for parties, getting drunk and then waking up in a strangers house. And of course finding the perfect girl.” Haru sighed and looked away from Minato. “Your look on high school seems to be heavily inspired by movies... you poor thing.” A fake tear developed in Harus eye. “Shut up! A tied down man wouldant understand a bachelors life.”

As they argued back and forth the teacher walked in and shut the door behind her. As soon as it closed a knock came at the door. The teacher

Looked annoyed but walked back to open it anyway. As she did a hand with a note slid through the crack of the door. As the door opened fully a small girl with short black hair stood there holding a book. The teacher took the note from her hand and went back to her desk not even bothering to read it.

The girl creeped past the row of desk towards the back of the room and took her seat at the corner of the room. She immediately opened her book and sat down ignoring the stares from the people around her.

Haru leaned toward Minato and whispered, “she looks like an antisocial.” Minato ignored him and casually nodded as he stared at her. She had shiny black hair that curled at the ends and fell over her ears and a small delicate oval face. She had big green eyes that were practically glued to the pages of her book.

As he stared at her a whispering could be heard around the class, “Minato... Minato Watanabe, is Minato not here?” He recovered from his stupor and raised his hand, “Here, sorry!”

A few smirks could be heard around him but he ignored them and turned back to look at the girl at the back of the class.

“Mia.” The girl raised her hand without taking her eyes off her book and responded quietly; “here..” Minato smiled and inwardly sighed, “Mia..huh..”
