PriPara: Breakthrough

Open a New Perspective!

Wit

That's the only thing one can say if someone asks what was most recognizeable in Iris Hitomi...

Until life would be more than stock knowledge can answer...

(Iris POV)

"Ohhhhh god!!!"

"I'm feeling so pressured for the debate tomorrow!" I said, skimming through my textbooks.

"Chill, that's all you've been thinking about ever since Onizuka-sensei announced it to your class. I know you can do it. You're like, the Class Nerd. You even beat the valedictorian of the 3rd years in a competition last time." My sister, Lorelei said.

"Everyone calls me a nerd, when everything's just easy if you learn to love it." I said.

"Yeah yeah."

Then, Lorelei flashed on the T.V.

"Woah! Check it out! It's SoLaMi Smile!" She exclaimed.

"Huh, those PriPara idols." I said.

"Don't you think it's fun? I'd be so jealous if you got a PriTicket, you know." Lorelei kidded.

"Hah. Like I would ever go to that place. I have studies to focus on." I said.

"Don't you ever think of something else to do other than drown yourself in reading all those thick books? Like a hobby. You know, sometimes I think you gotta live normally too. You're turning into a weirdo. Plus, you have a REALLY GOOD VOICE." She said.

Yes, people also say I have a REALLY GOOD voice. (Gotta admit that)

Oh wait. I forgot to introduce myself. I should probably do so before my sister blabs any further.

My name is Iris Hitomi. I'm a 2nd year Middle Schooler at Paprika Private Academy. I'm part of the Debates Club and the School Paper. For a girl like me, I've got people who look up to me because I'm smart, but I've only got a few friends. No matter how hard I try to make friends, most just say that they can't match my intelligence so they can't be my friend and all that drama.

But I just want a lot of friends.

"Maybe, I could try making more friends by taking up a new hobby, but they might just think that I'm too much of a nerd." I said.

"Hm, maybe you'll figure something out." My sister said to motivate me.

We got out of my room, and we heard my mom talking to someone on the phone.

"Oh good! When are you coming?"

"Okay. I'm sure Lorelei and Iris will be glad to see you again!"

"Who was that, Mom?" Lorelei asked.

"Oh, it was your cousin from Okinawa. She's planning to move here to Tokyo, near our place." She explained.

"Really? Erika's moving to our neighborhood?" I asked excitedly.

"Mm hm!" Mom gave a close-eyed smile.

Erika Noriko's my favorite cousin. She's an idol at PriPara. Maybe she'll be a way to get to PriPara myself.

"Gotta get ready and listen to PriPara songs on Lorelei's phone." I thought.

Once I successfully stole my sister's phone, I got to my room and started through her playlist.

I came with the first song on the list.

"'Your 100% Life' by Cosmo Hojo?"

I started listening to the song.
