Classroom of the elite: New life

Chapter 2: Making friends

April 2nd, the first real day of my school life and i currently find myself in the classroom listening to Chabashira as she teaches us about Japanese History. I had already learnt about this during the earlier years of my life so i decided to stare outside the window and wait until the bell rung for lunch.

*Bell ring*

"That will be all for today, make sure you read pages 51 and 52 before the next lesson." Chabashira said before exiting the classroom. 

"Man that was way too much to remember." 

"Huh? you were actually listening? I was playing on my phone the whole time and she didn't seem to care."

I could hear a conversation going on between Ike and Yamauchi about how lenient Chabashira was being during the lesson, she didn't seem to care much about how people were acting as i also noticed some of the girls were talking to each-other whilst she was teaching yet she wouldn't reprimand them for their behavior.

But enough of that, What should i do for lunch? I could go by myself or should i try to find someone to go with?

I watched as people already were forming groups to go and hang out with, Hirata was surrounded by multiple girls, Kushida had another group consisting of only girls but a bit smaller than Hirata's. 

"Hey, Ayanokoji would you like to join us? Hirata asked. Me and him got to know each other yesterday after the incident with Sudo where he noticed me watching what had happened.

"Are you sure you want me to come?" 

"Yeah we don't mind." he said looking over to a group of girls.

"I don't mind Ayanokoji joining us." 

"i'm fine with it." 

The girls voiced their approvals and so i accepted Hirata's invite and picked up my bag to walk with them to the cafeteria. 

In total there were 6 of us, 2 boys and 4 girls. I decided to walk at the back of the group and follow behind, watching as Hirata was bombarded with questions from the girls.

"Ayanokoji you don't need to separate yourself from us we already said that we don't mind you joining us." A girl whose name was Matsushita and who happens to be my seatmate said slowing down to walk with me.

"I'm just not very good at talking to people so i feel a little outside my comfort zone."

She smiled at me and said "Well if you wanna make some friends then your going to have to be more social than this." 

"I guess your right."

"Well, if you ever need any help don't be afraid to ask me."  

"I'll keep that in mind." 

Me and Matsushita then changed the topic as she began questioning me on minor things like my hobbies in which i replied with short answers. During our conversation a girl called Satou Maya joined in and we all continued chatting until we reached the cafeteria. 

When we reached the cafeteria i noticed that it was already heavily crowded and so if we were all to go and get lunch at the same time we may miss the chance of getting a free table, Hirata also noticed this and offered to go and find a table whilst the rest of us got our food.

"What are you thinking on getting Ayanokoji?" Matsushita asked me moving to my side.

"I don't really know, most of the meals on the menu I've never had before."

"Really? Most of the meals here are pretty common." Matsushita said sounding pretty surprised.

"My father was pretty strict with what i ate so that's probably why?"
