In the soft morning light, the prefecture of Iwate came alive with a vibrant energy, as if it had just awoken from a peaceful slumber. The streets bustled with the hum of daily life, and the sunlight painted the surroundings in a gentle warmth that beckoned everyone to embrace the new day. For Mari Chan, it was a day brimming with potential - she could sense the excitement bubbling within her as she made her way to her new high school. With her backpack casually slung over her shoulder and a wide smile on her lips, she couldn't wait to immerse herself in this new chapter of her life. Having recently moved from the bustling city of Tokyo, Mari was eager to embrace all the fresh opportunities that lay ahead. The delicate cherry blossoms seemed to sway in the gentle breeze, mirroring the lightness in her step. Her pace quickened as she approached the entrance of her new school, a mix of nerves and anticipation fluttering in her stomach.

Mari entered the school gates, taking a deep breath as she gazed upon the bustling sea of students. Her class schedule in hand, she searched eagerly for her destination: Class 2-B. With unwavering determination, she breezed through the crowded hallways, eager to make her mark on her new classmates.

Stepping into the room, Mari was met with curious gazes from her fellow students. Undeterred, she beamed at them, her positivity radiating . "Hey, everyone! I'm Mari, just moved here from Tokyo. I'm all about meeting new people and trying new things. Let's make this year unforgettable!" Her words were accompanied by an infectious energy that warmed the room.

Amid the attentive crowd, Shohei Ohtani, the popular baseball player of the school, sat at his desk, glancing up from his notes. His eyes widened at the sight of Mari, her enthusiasm contagious. A small smile crept onto his face as he watched her introduce herself with such fervor. Shohei was accustomed to the routine of high school life, but there was something refreshing about Mari's arrival.

As Mari finished her introduction, the class erupted into applause, welcoming her with open arms. Shohei joined in, his smile widening as he appreciated the positive energy Mari brought to the room. In that moment, he knew there was something special about this new classmate.

Class continued, and as Mari settled into her seat, she couldn't help but notice Shohei's friendly demeanor.  During breaks, Mari found herself engaged in casual conversations with her classmates, Shohei included. His passion for baseball was evident, and Mari was genuinely interested in learning more about the sport.

As the day unfolded, Mari realized that this new chapter in her life held the promise of exciting friendships and experiences. Little did she know, the presence of Shohei Ohtani would play a significant role in the adventures that awaited her in Hanamaki-Higashi High School.
