✩Our Shining Stars!✩ [Ensemble Stars fanfic]

Youthful Colours

I looked around nervously. I was careless enough to forget the direction to school this morning, and now I'm panicking.

"Oh dear... If only Midori-kun is here" I muttered. Midori couldn't come to school today, since he injured himself a bit during his club activities yesterday. So today, I'm on my own.

"Ahh... what should I do now?" I continued to walk aimlessly until I reach some shops. "Should I ask anyone?" I thought.

"HaHa~ your colours show that you're confused" a voice said to me. It sounded like that of a kid. "Eh?" I looked behind me. A boy slightly taller than me smiled. His yellow hair is a little tousled, and he had a smile on his face.

What surprised me the most is that he wore Yumenosaki's uniform. He seems to be a first year?

"Hello~! Are you perhaps looking for Yumenosaki Academy?" he asked. "O-oh? How did you know? " I stammered, surprised.

"HaHa~ did you forget you are wearing the uniform? Plus, your colours show that you are unfamiliar with this place" he answered, smiling widely.

I felt stupid for a bit. Of course, I am indeed wearing the uniform, of course he would know. But what makes me curious is...

"My.... colours?" I raised a brow. "HiHi~ Sora can tell! How about Sora show you the way?" he offered. Seems like he speaks in third-person.

"Sure! You seem to be heading there too, anyway. Let's go.. umm, Sora, I supposed?" I accepted. He nodded. "Mhmm! Sora's name is Harukawa Sora! But you can just call Sora Sora!"

although his words just now took a while to understand, I just nodded in response.

✩

We walked at the hallways of Yumenosaki, heading to class. Once we reached the 1st year's floor, I waved goodbye to Sora. Just as I was about to climb up the stairs, however, Sora called out.

"Where are you going?" he asked. "I'm.. heading to class" I told him. "Huh? Sora thought you are a first year too. Where is your tie?" he said.

I couldn't wear a necktie yet for now, since I was told it will be given to me later. I'm surprised I was only asked about this now.

"Ohh, I'm actually a 2nd year, in class 2-B" I informed. Sora nodded. "Then, Sora shall call you 'big sis' then! Big sis, can you stay with Sora for a while?" he suddenly requested.

"E-eh? Why?" I asked, a little surprised by his request. "Well, Sora is a little lonely.. Sora's friends still hasn't arrived yet since it's so early. So, can big sis stay for a bit more?" he confessed.

My heart beat loudly. How can I refuse his request when he's this cute and pure? "A-ah, sure, then" I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled at him.

"Yayy!! Let's go!" Sora pulled my hand and guided me to his class.

We stopped at 1-B. So I guess this is his class. Indeed, it was deserted. Not a single soul inside. Sora brought me over to his seat, and I placed my bag at the one in front of him.

"Sora just realised Sora doesn't know big sis's name yet" Sora started. "Ah, I apologise for not introducing myself. I'm (Y/N). I'm here because of the student exchange program" I introduced myself. "Ohh~ no wonder big sis has an unfamiliar colour~" Sora nodded.

We chatted for a bit more. I got to know that Sora is in a unit called Switch with 2 of his seniors, and that he has something called... synesthesia? I have no clue what it is, I'll just search it up later.

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard outside the door. A boy with short brown hair lay motionless on the floor. "Wargh! Mitsuru-kun, are you okay?!" a panicked voice followed behind.

A boy with dark purple hair with a streak of yellow approached the brown-haired boy. Suddenly, he jolted up and stood like nothing happened.

"I'm alright! I was just distracted with I was dashing around the hallway!" he assured the purple-haired boy.

"Speaking of which... Who's this, Sora-kun?" the boy ran towards us and looked at me excitedly. "This is big sis (Y/N), an exchange student. Sora happened to meet her at the streets and guided her here!" Sora enthusiastically explained.

"Oooh! Exchange student? Nice to meet you, I'm Tenma Mitsuru, welcome to Yumenosaki Academy!" the boy, Mitsuru, took my hand and shook it vigorously. The purple-haired boy walked towards us after putting his bag at his seat.

"Exchange? Ah, I've heard about the program! I'm Sengoku Shinobu! It's nice meeting you!" he said energetically. I chuckled at their youthful behaviors.

"Exchange student?" another voice came from outside. A red-haired boy joined us. "Ah, so, the exchange student is a girl? Interesting.." he whispered, which I can hear rather clearly. "Well then, allow me to introduce myself, my lady. I am Suou Tsukasa, your knight of honor" he bowed politely, gentleman-like.

I was flattered. "Knight of honor? Hahahaha! Hilarious!" again, a boy walked in. This time, he had pink hair and seemed to be shorter than me. Tsukasa glared at him. "At least I'm not a 3 year-old brat!" Tsukasa fought. The pink-haired boy shot him a dirty look.

"Move! Let me see the new girl!" he came to us and pushed Tsukasa away. "So, you are the one Yuzuru talked about yesterday? I'm Himemiya Tori, by the way!" he said, extending his hand for me to shake.

Even though his manner just now seems a little rude, I just ignored it and shook his hand. "I'm (L/N) (Y/N), second year, class 2-B" I smiled. "A senior? Class 2-B? You're in the same class as my seniors in Knights then, marvelous!" Tsukasa spoke delightfully.

"Hmph. Who cares about Knights? Bleh!" Tori stuck his tongue out at Tsukasa. "Shut up you spoiled brat!" Tsukasa stuck his tongue out back at Tori. The two then quarreled.

I looked at them, dumbfounded. They seem to be too busy fighting that they forget I'm here. "Ignore them, they're always like that! Here, have some bread! A welcome gift from me!" Mitsuru interrupted, handing me a chocolate bun.

"Thanks!" I accepted gleefully. I was a little hungry since I didn't eat much for breakfast.

"There, Yuta-kun! That's the exchange student!" Hinata's voice came from the door. He pushed his twin brother inside. "Have fun!" he waved, then headed to 1-A.

His twin brother, who looked just like him approached me. "Uh, hello! Aniki told me you're the exchange student. I'm Aoi Yuta, Hinata's younger twin brother" Yuta extended his hand at me. I wiped my hand with a wet tissue I brought and shook his hand.

"Haha, he keeps telling me I need to meet you. Seems like you met him already" he sat down and continued. "Yeah, I did, yesterday. You seem to be a lot calmer than him" I commented.

Yuta chuckled. "Anyway, I heard you're staying with one of the students here. Who might that be?" he asked.

"Thinking back, I remember Midori telling me the exchange student is staying with his family. Is that right, (L/N)-sama?" Shinobu interrupted.

With my mouth filled with bread, I nodded. Yuta and Shinobu's mouth formed an 'o' shape as he nodded slowly. Suddenly, Shinobu's stomach grumbled. His face turned red. "U-uh... I.." he stammered.

"Here, Shinobu-kun! Have some bread too! I have an extra one!" Mitsuru handed a piece of bread in front of Shinobu's face. "Thank you, Mitsuru-kun" he took it, face still red from embarrassment.

I chuckled quietly, as I find it pretty cute. "Mitsuru-kun, can Sora have a piece too? Sora can't help it when seeing them eat!" Sora asked, cupping his hands in front of Mitsuru.

"Hehe, sure! I always have loads of it!" Mitsuru nodded. "HeHe~ Sora's happy! Everyone's colour also seem happy! Even Tsukasa-kun and Tori-kun's is!" Sora cheered.

Tsukasa and Tori looked at us in question. It seems that they had calmed down, yet they are sitting very far from each other, showing hostility.

I smiled as well. The cute juniors definitely made my day better already.
