Chapter 3: First Day at School

"Wake up, Chihiro. Aren't we supposed to be getting ready to go to school?" Haku asked as he gently shake Chihiro's arm to wake her up.

The half-asleep Chihiro sat up with her eyes still closed and talked in a sleepy voice, "But I'm so sleepy..."

"But you need to be there with me on my first day at school." Haku really doesn't want to be alone without Chihiro in a foreign place, that's for sure.

Chihiro suddenly snap her eyes open widely, realizing she almost forgot that Haku will be attending school as of today. She takes a look at Haku and saw that he is already in his uniform while she is still in her pajamas, "You're prepared already! I better get ready soon or else we'll be late!"

Chihiro went to take a bath while Haku helped Yumiko with breakfast, "Thank you for helping me with breakfast, Haku. You're a nice boy!"

Haku smiled at Yumiko as he pours milk into four cups. Akihiko was already at the dining table reading a newspaper while Yumiko and Haku put everything on the table and sat too. Chihiro suddenly appear with her uniform still looking messy.

"Chihiro! You look messy! Comb your hair!" Yumiko scolded Chihiro who still hasn't combed her hair properly. Chihiro took out a comb and fix her hair then tied them into a ponytail as usual. Then the four of them started eating breakfast. Noticing that they might be late for school if they don't hurry, Chihiro quickly finish her milk and Haku did the same.

"We'll be going now!" Both Haku and Chihiro said that to Akihiko and Yumiko who are still eating their breakfast.

Yumiko suddenly stood up and stopped the two kids, "Wait! I forgot to give you two your uniform's tie!"

She hurries to Chihiro's room and bring back down two black ties. Haku and Chihiro quickly put on their ties and left the house. Chihiro climbed onto her bicycle and Haku sat beside her. While they are on their way, Haku suddenly suggested something.

"Chihiro, teach me how to cycle."

"You want to know how to cycle?" Chihiro is kind of surprised to hear that request from Haku.

"Yes. So I can bring you to school instead of you bringing me."

Chihiro blushes a bit when she heard that and ask, "You want to bring me to school?"

"Yes." Haku thinks it is better if he is the one cycling. He is bigger in size than Chihiro and it must be heavy to have him behind her as she cycles. Plus, he is more than willing to bring Chihiro to school.

Chihiro is still blushing over what Haku just said and didn't realize that they had already reached school until Haku told her, "Chihiro, isn't this the school we're attending?"

Chihiro stopped too suddenly and it almost made the two of them fall, "Oops! Sorry! I wasn't concentrating!"

They climbed down from the bicycle and Chihiro put aside her bicycle, "Hurry, Haku! We might be late!"

Chihiro and Haku are both in the 5th grade. There are three classes in the 5th grade at that school and both of them are in class 5-2.

"Don't worry too much, the people in this class are nice! The teachers in this school are all very friendly too!" Chihiro said to Haku, trying to make him less nervous.

When Chihiro opened the door, their homeroom teacher, Mr. Kobayashi, is already in front of everyone in the class. But she is sure they are both on time.
