Season 1, Episode 1 (friends)

Sato walks down the sidewalk, head down and hands in pockets. A slight breeze flows through his dark hair, sweeping it across his forehead. He sighs, thinking, I can't believe school is starting already..Feels like the first year ended yesterday.. His fist clenches in the pocket of his uniform jacket. Then a voice calls out, "Sato! Wait up! Geez!" Sato doesn't seem to hear him. He keeps walking towards school.  "SATO ITSUKI LISTEN TO ME.", the voice continued.  He turns back and pauses. The voice came from around the corner. Then a small boy runs around the corner. "Geez Sato! How-How do you walk so fast?!" The boy bends over, hands on his knees, catching his breath. Sato smiles slightly. "Hi, Yuni.." He says. He speaks with a slight accent. Yuni stands up and smiles, his eyes closed. "Hi!" He adjusts his backpack across his shoulders, gripping the straps tightly.

    Sato turns back around and keeps waking. Yuni walks faster to keep up with him. Sato is a very tall person. Yuni however is very short, barely clearing 5'3". Yuni leans forward, tilts his head and smiles at Sato. "So, Itsuki. Have you chosen a club to join yet?" Sato shakes his head-looking ahead. "Nope. Not yet.." He sighs, and tilts his head back to look at the sky. The cherry trees drop blossoms to the sidewalk in front of them. "Well-I'm starting one!" Yuni says. Sato looks back down at Yuni. "Really?" He asks. Yuni nods, smiling brightly. "Yup! Well-" he rubs the back of his head, and laughs a little. "It's more of a team. A basketball team." Sato pauses, a smile splitting across his face. "Really? Did you already get permission?" Yuni nods again. "M-hm! Principal Kihano gave me the papers!" He goes to take them from his bag but gives up. "So..." Yuni leans forward again "Are you gonna join..?" Sato sighs.  "Yuni.." Yuni folds his hands, pleading, "Please Satooo?! We need a good center!" Sato shakes his head, "Maybe. I just.." Yuni keeps going, "Sato! It would be fun! And you could at least TRY to play again!" His eyes widen slightly.

    Sato nods sharply. "Fine. I'll try to come, but no promises. OK?" Yuni cheers, "Yea! This is gonna be awesome!"  As they walk up to the school, the first bell rings and Yuni jumps. "Oh no! Sato-the bell-" He runs inside, not wanting to be late to class. Sato takes his time, wandering up the steps and taking his time at his locker. As he puts his things away, he looks at the pictures on his binder, sets his jaw, and goes to class.

    On the other side of the campus, a girl with long black hair looks around, confused. She thinks, Come on Alia..you can find a classroom! She looks back at her schedule, then back up at the walls. Alia walks up to a student passing by. She asks with a confidence she doesn't feel, "Do you know where Room 345 is?" She shows the boy her schedule, not noticing the red tinge his cheeks take on. "Uh, yea! It's up those stairs, three doors down. Look for the big banner over the door. Can't miss it!" He looks at Alia, taking in her face. She smiles and runs off "Thanks!" He looks around then hurries off to his class.
    In a classroom on the second floor, Yuni plops down in front of another boy with vivid red hair. "Hello Shun!" He says excitedly. Shun jumps and drops his phone. "AGH- Yunisuke Omaru-! You scared me-!" He picks up his phone, checking the screen. Yuni sticks his tongue out then leans on the desk. "Shun-I'm starting a basketball club!" Shun nods, smiling slightly. "Sounds fun! Is it all classes?" Yuni smiles and nods quickly. "Yup! All classes." Shuns eyes get wide-and he points at Yuni. "Hang on. Yuni-Why are you in a third year classroom?!" Yuni jumps up-grinning. "Shush. See you later Shun! Gym after school!" He runs out, leaving Shun shaking his head, confused. Shun goes back to his phone. A tall boy leans over to him, and whispers, "Hey, did he say he's starting a basketball club?" Shun looks up and nods. "Yea. Why? Did you wanna join?" The boy flushes. "If that's alright?" Shun smiles and nods "Fine by me. Wanna meet up after school? We can meet by the cafeteria." The boy nods-smiling. "Sounds good!" he holds out a hand. "I'm Sho Tonoshi. And you?" Shun takes it and shakes it. "Shun Natsuki." Sho grins and nods. Then the teacher walks in and taps her desk with her papers. "Good Morning everyone! I know it's the first day, but we will be working on declensional adverbs today!" Sho groans quietly. Shun glances at him and laughs, pulling out a pencil.
