Immediately after the bell rang, I quickly packed up and went for gym class. Realizing that I had forgotten about getting my gym uniform and locker number, I went back to the admin office. When I came out with the uniform still intact with the plastic, I bumped into two other girls that cam around the corner.

"I'm so sorry, i didn't-" I took a double-take at them. My eyes must be playing tricks on me because this two girls were too familiar for me to recognize. It's been too long that we've even met up. But, how did they ended up knowing each other?

One of them was Asian. Her silky dark brown hair in a side French braid and dressed in navy sleeveless button-up paired with high-waist shorts and black Vans. The other girl was a honey blonde whose hair flowed past her breast wearing a graphic tee with the infinity sign, pink-purple galaxy tights and gladiator sandals.

All three of us were stunned looking at each other to register who stood before our very sight. Our eyes widen on cue and three of us let out an ear-piercing shriek. The rest of the passer-byers must be looking at us like we were idiots shrieking at each other as our language.

"OH MY GOSH!!! I can't believe that you're the new student I've been hearing all the while!" Bellette exclaimed while pulling me into her excited bone-crushing hug whereas Yuri stood aside smiling like a maniac.

"Can't...breathe..." I squeaked. Bellette mumbled an apology before releasing me.

"Come on, Yuri. You know you wanna hug this girl too." I teased as i moved towards her to exchange hugs.

Yuri Kannon is my American-born Japanese friend. A pro in piano and gymnastics. Met her in gymnastics class at 4 and stopped at 9, but we kept in touch. By the way, do not by any chance underestimate this quiet, shy girl. Why? She knows how to kick-butt. Yes, she knows martial arts. She took out 5 guys at once when walking home from practice one night.

"How did you two become friends? And how are you girls doing? I can't believe that you both are here too!" I asked with surprised.

"We're doing fine, I guess you could say. We met during signing up for clubs and I got in here thanks to the dance championships I've won." Bellette replied excitedly.

"Well I'm here thanks to my academics and co-curriculum in middle school." Yuri replied.

"Well, I got transferred out from Montrose High, if you must know," I explained the reason behind my presence.

Both of them gave me a sad smile with a knowing look like they knew what happened to my school and group-hugged my to comfort my 'loss'. "Sorry to hear about that, Hae'." Yuri spoke.

"On the bright side, you've got us now!" Bellette said, trying to take my mind off it.

"Well, that's true." Then I changed the subject. "Anyway where's the gym? It's my next class."

"Oh, so now the sudden change of subjects, eh? Today will be your lucky day 'coz you, young lady, are joining us for gym class." Bellette grinned teasingly,

"You girls are so gonna be the death of me. Let's go before I get detention on first day." I replied as I looped my arm in Yuri's let one and Bel's right one. Looks like today won't be that bad after all.

Lunch time rolled in quickly after gym and French class. During gym, we just ran through some test for the semester's health records. French class was quite interesting and fun despite not having any of my old besties.

Being the nervous yet excited newbie in Toppers High, I totally forgotten to locate my locker. I asked Yuri when the realization sank into my mind as i passed by the office again.
