Transfer Student

I wandered around the hallway with one of my earbuds attached to my left ear. Midori gave me a sample of RYUSEITAI's new song, and he said he wanted to know what I think of it, under Chiaki's request.

I was glued on my phone while walking, busy checking out the notes and lyrics to the song.

Suddenly, I bumped into someone. The consequences of not looking forward while walking I guess.

"Oof" the person fell onto the floor. I managed to balance myself, so I didn't fall.

I quickly took off my earbud and kept my phone. I extended my hand to help her.

Wait..... her?

I blinked many times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Because sitting on the floor in front of me, is a....

"A-a girl????" I stammered. I knelt down in front of her. She had her head down, picking up a piece of paper from the floor. She was surprised when she sees me right in front of her.

"No. Wayyyy! A girl!" I clapped my hands. She was visibly confused. "Oh- wait, wait! I'll help you up! Sorry for bumping into you" I stood up and helped her stand.

"A-ah... no worries.. I wasn't paying attention as well.." she said, with a sweet yet timid voice. I placed my hand on her shoulders. "Are you ACTUALLY a girl?" I asked.

She seemed shocked and confused. "Uhh... yes, I am... I'm new here.." she answered slowly.

I felt really excited. I held her hands and spun her around. "A girlll!! There's another girl other than meee!! Yay!" I cheered. She just laughed awkwardly.

I stopped spinning. "Hey, hey! What's your name? I'm (L/N) (Y/N), class 2-B! I'm here as an exchange student!" I immediately introduced myself.

"O-oh! I-Im a new transfer student for the producer course... I'm Anzu" she bowed. I bowed back out of habit. "Just... Anzu?" I lifted an eyebrow. "Y-yeah... Just Anzu" Anzu smiled awkwardly.

I suddenly noticed something. "How tall are you?" I asked.

Anzu seemed startled by the random question. "U-uhh, around 162cm.... I think...?" she scratched her cheek. I immediately sat on the floor hugging my knees.

"No.... I'm just shorter by 2cm..." I pretend sulked. Don't ask why I'm like this. I don't know anymore.

"E-eh?? Umm.. I- I uh..." Anzu stammered, waving her hand around. I stood back up and laughed. "Haha, don't mind me, Anzu-chan. By the way, where are you heading? I don't remember seeing a producer course classroom here..." I recalled.

"Oh, that's because I was informed that we still don't have a special classroom for it, yet. For now I'm staying in.... uh..." she left her sentence hanging before reading through the paper she had in her hand.

She lifted back her head. "Ah, yes. It's supposed to be class 2-A"

I was a little upset to hear it, but it'll be unfair to have both girls in 2-B, right? "Ah, really? Well, I'm in 2-B! I can show you the way to your class if you wanna go now" I offered.

Anzu nodded. "S-sure! I am heading there now. Thank you, (L/N)-san" she bowed politely at me. I bowed back. We headed off.

As we came near 2-A, I can hear the sound of music. Sounds like it could be TrickStar.

I opened the door first and Anzu stood behind me. Indeed, TrickStar is there, practicing their choreography in class. Subaru was the first to notice us.

"W-woahh!!" he lost focus and fell on top of Hokuto. "Ow.. Akehoshi, watch your steps, please..." Hokuto frowned. Subaru grinned. "Sorry Hokke~ I got distracted by (Y/N)"

Hokuto and the others looked at me. I waved. "Good morning, sorry to interrupt. I'm just here to drop someone off"

I took Anzu by her shoulders and pushed her in front of me. "Here she is~☆" I smiled widely. Anzu timidly waved.

"Woah! Another girl?" Makoto gasped. "Yep, yep! She'll be in this class for the time being" I nodded. "Now now, you guys take care of Anzu-chan, okay? I need to go to 2-B now. You should also come later, Isara-kun. Class is about to start" I reminded.

"Right. I'll be there" Mao nodded with a smile. "Alright~ bye bye Anzu-chan" I waved. "Ah! See you, (L/N)-san! Thank you for your help!" Anzu thanked.

"No worries!" I smiled and went back to 2-B.

Before I knew it, class is over. I took some time to pack my stuff. I didn't go to 1-A this time, but I headed off to the infirmary.

I heard from Mao Anzu had an accident during recess when they watched the B1 held. I don't know the details, since I'm busy eating at the time.

I reached the infirmary. I can see TrickStar walking away at the end of the hallway. Anzu had been with TrickStar the whole day, so of course they're here. I walked in.

"Anzu-chan?" I peeked through the curtain covering Anzu's bed. She was staring at the window beside her. She looked at me.

"Oh, hello, (L/N)-san. What are you here for?" she smiled. "To see you, of course! Here, I got you some water" I said, handing a bottle of cold water to her. "Ah, thank you! I'm so thirsty" she accepted it, happy.

"So, what happened exactly?" I tilted my head. "A-ah.. I just fainted, that's all, eheh..." she laughed awkwardly. I could tell she's lying, but I refuse to ask more.

I nodded. "Hmm... okay. So, what's your impression on the school?" I changed the topic. Anzu looked out the window, to the view of the school's racing track. "So far, I don't think I have much of a problem with it" she answered.

"Are you okay being the only producer though? Wouldn't it be tiring?" I thought. "What can I do? I guess I'll just do my best for all of you. I'll manage" she smiled sweetly.

I hugged her. "You're so kind, Anzu-chan. I might not be an idol yet, but while I'm here, I'll see myself as one. So, I'll probably be asking for your help a lot later too"

I released the hug. Anzu tapped her chin. "Speaking of the school... (L/N)-san, what do you think of a revolution?" she suddenly asked.

I was confused by the sudden question. "I'm not so sure... I guess if it's for the better of something, I'll support it. And vice versa if it's bad" I answered nonchalantly. "Why revolution though?" I added.

"TrickStar told me something about the school...." Anzu muttered. "Something? Is there something wrong with the school?" I lifted an eyebrow. "It seems you don't know yet. Never mind, you'll know later. TrickStar doesn't seem to let me get (L/N) involved...." she answered, whispering the last part to herself.

I don't understand, but alright if she doesn't want to tell. I glanced at my clock. "Oh, I gotta go now! Sorry, but Midori probably has finished class by now. I'll excuse myself. Get enough rest, Anzu-chan!" I stood up.

"O-oh! Okay, take care, see you later, (L/N)-san!" Anzu waved. I waved back and left the infirmary.

"Revolution... something they don't want me to know....?" I muttered as I walked down the hallway. "What could it be?"
