COTE: Unknown prodigy

Chapter 3: first day

Today is the first real day at this school and i'm currently walking to school with Kushida alongside me. We didn't plan to walk together but we coincidentally crossed paths when we were both leaving the dorm buildings at the same time. 

Kushida proposed the idea of going to school together and i accepted as there was no reason to reject her offer. As we were walking i listened whilst Kushida talked about how amazing the school is with the vast amount of activities they had to offer and how she hopes to have lots of her friends during her time at school.

Eventually she realised how much she was rambling and quickly apologised to which i told her it was fine and that i had found what she was saying interesting.

"So what do you think of this school Ayanokoji-kun?" Kushida asked me, curious on my opinion.

"I Haven't seen much of what the school has but from what i heard from you and Chabashira-sensei, this school does sound like something you'd find in a dream." Kushida nodded after hearing what i said agreeing with me.

"Your right, but it's sad that we can't contact anyone from outside the school. I'm going to miss talking to my friends and family." She said with in a low tone.

Kushida was right, this school prohibited contact with people from outside the school and why they decided to do this is something i don't have an answer for, it only adds more mystery and potential secrets that the school may be hiding from us. Although, there's still probably many ways in which you can bypass this rule and gain contact to people whether it be from outside or inside the school. 

"What about you? Is there anyone your gonna miss from outside the school?" Kushida asked.

"Not really, i was home-schooled as a child so i don't really have any friends to miss." I didn't exactly lie but i also didn't tell the truth.

"What about your parents? you must miss them." She realised i didn't say anything about my family and asked me about it.

Miss my family? I don't have any siblings at least to my own knowledge, i have never met or heard anything about my mother and as for my father, i don't think i'll miss him during my time here it's more like a gift that i'm finally out of his surveillance even if it is only temporary.

"Yeah, i guess i'll miss them." 

I could feel Kushida gaze on me, i acted like i didn't notice her stare and continued looking forward as we continued on our walk.   

Me and Kushida then reached the classroom in time and when we entered a few people turned their heads to see who it was. Kushida and i split up and when i was walking to my seat i could see that some of the boys were glaring at me, i believe there names where Ike and Yamauchi. 

When i sat down i saw that my seatmate was engrossed in the same book she was reading from yesterday, she looked to be around half-way through and after a few seconds she noticed that i was looking at her.

"Do you need something?" She asked, annoyed that i had disturbed her.

"Sorry, i was just interested in the book you were reading." i admitted hoping she wouldn't think of me as some creep who stares at random people.

She seemed satisfied with my answer and went back to reading her book.

"I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka." I built up the courage to continue the conversation.

"I know, you already introduced yourself yesterday." 

Right, of course she would already know my name i just didn't know what else to say.

"Since we're going to be sat next to each other for the next three years i think it would be beneficial if we at least knew each others name." I said trying to recover from the embarrassing start of the conversation.
