✿Y/N's POV✿

⊲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊳

It's mid-spring, a cool day with a breezing wind. The leaves quietly rustle and all I can hear are the chirps of birds and my footsteps tapping on the concrete sidewalk. I live nearby my school, the Hyakkaou Private Academy, so I basically walk to school every day. Walks are pretty refreshing, especially on a day like this. And because I woke up earlier than normal this morning, I decided to take my time walking to school this time.

Once I arrive at school, I see a lot of students meeting up with their friends and catching up on the things they did on the weekend. A usual Monday morning, I think. Actually, it's not all that usual today. I spot some students whom I've never seen before. Are they here for the presidential election? Eh, doesn't matter. It's none of my business.

I walk up to my locker and as I'm about to open it, a tall and muscular guy with messy, pink hair walks up to the locker next to me. I've never seen him before, must be one of the new students. As I'm about to leave my locker, the guy turns to me and grabs my attention.

❝Hey! I'm Ibara Obami. I'm a new student at this school. What's your name?❞ The guy sticks out his hand.

❝Oh! Uh, I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you.❞ I accept his handshake.

❝So, I don't mean to bother you, but could you maybe show me where my class is? I'm not familiar yet with the school's layout, so I need a bit of help.❞ Ibara sheepishly scratches the back of his head as he makes his request.

❝Oh yeah, sure! Which classroom is it?❞

❝221B.❞

❝Oh, what a coincidence. That's where I'm supposed to be too! It's not that far away from here, so you can just walk with me.❞

❝Thanks! I really appreciate your help.❞

Ibara finishes up at his locker and the two of us walk through the school's halls. We have a bit of time before our class starts so we decided to get to know each other better in the meantime. I soon discover that Ibara and I both share the same music taste.

❝Hey, would you be okay with me sharing a Spotify playlist? Maybe you'd like it.❞ Ibara asks as he pulls out his phone.

❝Oh yeah totally!❞

❝I do need your number, though. So I can text you the link. I don't know how to share it otherwise.❞

The two of us exchange numbers and talk some more about things like our interests and our hobbies until we reach our destined classroom. A few students are already in the room and the two of us sit at our assigned seats.

The rest of the day was almost just like every other day at school. I followed along with the lessons, wrote down notes, enjoyed lunch break, and watched some students gamble miserably. The only difference that made this day stand out from the rest, was that I did all these activities with a friend. I hope I get to know Ibara better and become his friend, he seems like a really sweet guy.

At the end of the day, Ibara and I stand before the school gates.

❝I'll listen to the playlist you sent me once I'm home, Ibara.❞

❝Sounds great! Let me know what you think of it. Maybe I'll make some more playlists for you then!❞

❝I'd love that, thank you!❞

❝So I guess this is goodbye for now? See you tomorrow, Y/N!❞

❝Yes, see you tomorrow!❞

As we say goodbye, we turn away from each other and head our own way home. There's that pleasant feeling again, walking through the street with the soothing wind blowing through my hair and the sound of my footsteps tapping on the concrete sidewalk. I take the time to think about what happened today. I made a friend, I actually made a friend today! I couldn't hold in my happiness and a sudden smile spread across my face. I'll make sure to give him feedback on his playlist as soon as possible, I'm sure that'd make him happy. The rest of the way home, I decide to make a playlist for Ibara too, as a surprise.

Once I'm finally home, I sit at my desk, grab my schoolbooks, and listen to the playlist Ibara has sent me. Making homework while listening to Ibara's playlist makes schoolwork kind of fun and because of that, I finish my homework early.
