My house was just a short walk from school, so it only took about five minutes to get there. As soon as I stepped inside, I noticed students wandering around with little enthusiasm, while the Year Sevens seemed to be struggling to find their way.

I walked in, took a turn down the hallway, and entered the main area where students usually hang out during break. I should have headed to my assigned locker first, but I was more interested in seeing if my friends had returned.

My thoughts were interrupted when ChoCho and Sumire appeared behind me.

ChoCho slung her arm around my neck and flashed a wide grin.

"Hey, Sara, why are you just standing there, staring at everyone? You look kind of schizophrenic."

I rolled my eyes, while Sumire quietly chuckled and gave me a smile, which I returned.

I sat down with them and we began chatting, joining our friends who were already talking.

I took a moment to look around and see if anything had changed since we left for summer break. Nothing new—just the same familiar chaos of students rushing to their classes.

...

Since there's still some time before school actually starts, why not introduce my friends properly? They're going to be around a lot.
