Ch 1 : Class D

'Class D' The label read. voices of students can be heard even from the hallways, It sounded like the class I'm assigned to are a lively bunch. Not that it matters, but I'm hoping I could make at least one or two friends or an acquaintance by the end of the day.

Our sitting arrangement was pinned on the notice board near the entrance of the class. There were exactly 40 seats and 40 students in the class, neat. I was given a window seat that was to the far left of the classroom.

When I walked inside I recognised some familiar faces, like that one energetic girl from the bus, Ike from before and the boy who was with him. There were a few more faces I remember seeing, but that was it. I guess, if I have to pick one student who caught my immediate  attention, that would be the lucky boy who was at this moment surrounded by girls.

"What? You play soccer! That's soo cool~"

"I know right!~ I'd like to see hirata-kun play."

"Me too!"

"Well I was thinking of joining the soccer club here too, so if you girls want, we can all go and out club ceremony together."

"Tch. smooth bastard..." While clicking his tongue, the boy I just passed by muttered.

Believe me when I say this, but on his first day, the boy, 'hirata-kun' might've become the common enemy to all the boys present in the class.

Ahh. Peace... if it meant getting to see scenery like this regularly then I wouldn't mind being 'friendless' for the rest of my school year.

'!?'

It was 'that' feeling again... I slightly turned my head to look at my right and 'it' was there.

That bag from before was here, and so was 'It's' owner, she looked at me and then at her bag and then at me. with an annoyed look she pointed her finger at me " You. Don't."

~~silence~~

"Don't what?"

I asked, And She laid it out in the most accusing tone imaginable.

"I know you've been eyeing my school bag since when I was on the bus, so consider this your first and last warning. Don't try anything funny or else you'll regret it."

"First of all, I am not a thief." I said Fighting the accusations she just threw at me. " It's just...Nevermind."

"Are you dumb?" She said picking up her bag and placing it to the other side where I could no longer see it.

" Ayanokouji kiyotaka. Nice to meet you-."

"I didn't ask." She replied almost instantly.

"It wouldn't hurt introducing yourself you know, since we're neighbours for the next three years."  I reasoned.

"..."

Silent treatment I see.

" Um. maybe since you don't care I can just give you a name, right?"  she gave me a side eye as if she was challenging me to go on.

"Seatmate-cha—"

"Horikita." She revealed. "Now shut up."

"—Suzune, Horikita Suzune. I knew it already," I shrugged "saw it on the sitting arrangement earlier."

Fed up, Horikita rolled her eyes.

She won't appreciate me opening my mouth again and as I looked around the class I realised friend groups were forming faster than I can keep up. so I gave up and decided the right way to pass the time was to stare out the window and let the Time flow by.

So. um. There are these things called private points in this school which as the teacher put it, are given to us at the beginning of each month, what's crazy is that they are used like actual currency here.

we were just given 100,000 of these. Hefty sum of money for a highschool student I agree, looks like my classmates too.

"For real? Like Fr Fr?"

"Hundred thousand each month? That' crazy."

Agreed.

"Teacher! This is not a loan right? Like You ain't gonna calculate and take all this back when we graduate are ya?"

That would be funny.

Nonchalant our teacher, chabashira,  answered,  "No." And moved on to the next student as if she was searching for specific questions. She made it feel like she has done it for quite some time now.

"What about next month? will we get private points next month too?"

"Yes"

"Wow."

Students were in awe but the teacher sounded unimpressed. " If no-one has any more questions then the Homeroom is over. There is still some time left and You're free to do whatever you want until the entrance ceremony begins." Chabashira announced and left.

"Everybody," As soon as the teacher left the classroom, hirata got up from his seat and spoke out loud. " I was thinking since this is our first day how about we introduce ourselves? Of course since I suggested it, I'll be introducing myself first. Just follow my lead."

When hirata looked around He got nods and shouts of approval, mainly from girls, and a fair share of No(s) in the form of students ignoring and leaving the classroom, Horikita was one of them.

"Alright then. since I suggested this i should be the first one to start. My name's Hirata Yousuke. Back in junior high, lots of people called me Yousuke. Feel free to use my first name! I guess my hobby is sports in general, but I especially like soccer. I'm planning on playing soccer here, too. Nice to meet you!"

Hirata had effortlessly introduced himself to the class. He seemed exceptionally brave. And he talked about his love for soccer, combined with his charisma, his level of popularity must've increased two, no, maybe four folds.

I wondered if he'll become the future leader of this class with this much popularity.

"Well then, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves, starting from the front. Is that okay?"

Just like that students started introducing themselves one after another. The most notable introductions were of the girl from the bus. Her name was kushida, who with a bit of cuteness and a friendly introduction was able to charm most of the boys. 

Introductions were going smoothly, that is, until it was the red-hair's turn.

"Ha! We're not kids. I ain't introducing myself." He shouted with his hand on his shoulders.

"Then why didn't you leave?? If you don't want to introduce yourself then you should follow other's example and leave." One of the girls spoke her mind, I think she introduced herself as shinohara.

"You don't tell me when to leave! and why do you care so if I stay or leave anyways?" He replied in an annoyed tone.

"Ha! What he getting mad at me for?"

"Dude it's ok. You both should just apologise and move on." Ike tried to calm the red hair.

"I ain't apologising for shit!"

but failed.

"Both of you please calm down."  Hirata said in an awkward tone "If someone doesn't want to introduce themselves then they don't have to, and it's totally fine," hirata reassured giving a smile to the girl. " Let's just continue the introductions."

"If you say so..."

Sudo ken, yes that's his name it was written on the notice board, he got up and left the classroom anyways.

"Well let's continue." Hirata said and gestures to the next student.

The introductions went smoothly except for a few hiccups like when the self-centred boy, koenji got up and threatened 'ugly things', Yamauchi who's introduction was filled with obvious lies and finally it was my turn.

*Screech*

the metal legs of the chair made an  uncomfortable noise as I got up.

"I-uh."
