When Will Our Spring Begins?

Second Petal

It was a windy day where pink and white petals are swirling and dancing with its breeze, an image can be seen from the window of the school. The chitchatting of student, underclassmen and even upperclassmen, field the hallway as people gathered and walking through it. Welcoming the new students of the school who were wearing a tag "New Student" in their vest talking while gathering attention. If there's someone who's getting too much, it will be Tendo Hyouka. Wearing her big wide smile and waving her hands to the guys out there. She is known as one of the cutest faces in their former school, acting like she's gonna hold those title once again, or so it seems.

But those delusions immediately disappeared, as soon as a new student like her, passed in front of her. That person is much cuter then Tendo Hyouka.

Mizuki, by that time, is already in her room while sketching some new faces in her pad. She's in the fifth row near the window, the seat that designated to her in their class seating arrangement, not minding the noise of the other people who knew each other and having a reunion.

She stopped what she's doing as a girl, with two funny ponies, who's slightly sitting on the floor and resting its chin on her desk. Looking at the sketches of her in the pad, specifically on its own portrait, Mizuki sketched earlier.

"You draw well." The girl gave her thumbs up, that almost hit her nose, and smiles at her widely. After that, she stands and bends a little when she's trying to stretch her arm to Mizuki. "Suzuki Hirose," she introduced. "Please take care of me."

But above of that, Mizuki's reaction is needed the most. But, she just nodded making Hirose to snort. Mizuki is completely clueless and looking straightly at those hands that are stretching for her to reach.

As if it's a déjà vu. But she just disregard it, she doesn't need someone to accompany her in this year or even for the next 2 years. If Shiota didn't just transfer to an All Boys School, maybe she could have someone whom she can rely on.

"I'm sorry," Hirose sighed while smiling awkwardly and leave her alone; a good thing for Mizuki. She heaved a sigh as a guilty feeling raised deep inside her. It's been like that these past few days.

She's insensitive about what she is saying but become sensitive after receiving a sad expression to which she's talking to. She just rolled her eyes and snort as she glances to those trees with pink and white petals, nearly bald. But got distracted as the Homeroom teacher arrives and introduce him.

"I am Yamamoto Haruto; I'll be your Homeroom Teacher and PE Teacher for this school year." Mizuki just stared at him as she realized the resemblance of his face. Maybe, he is associated by that guy.

"Have you heard about Yamamoto-sensei?"
"Kinda, he's the one who dated a high school student 3 years ago right?"
"I heard, they just got married this spring."
"Is he? What a bad luck, he is totally my type."

"Why does students meddling with teacher's lives?" Natsume hissed before taking a bite to her strawberry mochi. Playing at teacher's den is a treatment to her.

Natsume is the president of Literature Club where Ayaka-sensei is the Club teacher. Well, the teacher doesn't mind her presence since it's been like that for two years.

"Basically, they are just pinpointing the people they can flirt with." Ayaka answered after sipping her cola and rest her back in the seat. Her table is full of paper works even if the class just already started. She needs to settle the files of the new students especially that principal insisted her.

"Literature Club does only have 5 members..." Natsume started as she closed the book that she's been reading whilst eating.

"Then do something about it," Ayaka said coolly while taking a sip on her coffee. She doesn't have classes for the next hours but instead of taking a nap, her paper works is a kind of hindrance to it.
