I'm sorry, I had to do this pic.

Natsuki's P.O.V.

 I heard knocking coming from my bedroom door. I looked up from the book I was reading to see my mother coming in.

 "Morning honey!" she beamed.

 "What are you doing here?" I asked.

 "Harsh," said my mother,"Anyway, today we're going to Kunugigaoka Junior High so that we can meet with their principle. So I'm here to tell you to stop reading manga, you can do that at night, and change into something that makes it seem like you care!"

 I sighed and closed the book I was reading.

 "Fine," I said while my mother smiled her usual cheesy smile and left the room.

 I swung my legs over the side of the bed and walked over to the bookshelf. I placed the book I was reading in the spot that it was in originally and walked over to the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door and walked over to the closet. Looking through it, I decided that I would wear my Yomiyama north uniform. Like I said before, I think the uniform is cute.

 Walking out of my room, the smell of coffee filled my nose. My mother was, again, making breakfast, but it was for the two of us this time. I walked over to the counter as my mother smiled at me.

 "It seems you didn't sleep at all last night," she said while giving me a cup of coffee.

 "It's better than having a nightmare," I commented while drinking the coffee.

 My mother sighed.

 "I guess to you, it would," she said.

 There was short moment of silence as my mother gave me a plate of pancakes. I started eating them as my mother started talking.

 "The principle wants us at the school in about two hours," she said," You already know how to get there, so you'll be leading me. I'm supposed to be leaving the meeting after the first hour, so I hope you'll be okay."

 I nodded my head. We stayed quiet again until we finished out breakfast. Once we did, we both got ready and left the small apartment. We started making our way to Kunugigaoka Junior High, my mother following me as I made my way to the train station. When we got on the train, I notice that there weren't that many people on it. I'm guessing that there are a lot of people at work and school, so I didn't really question it. Once we got off of the train, we made our way to the junior high.

 As we walked onto the main campus, my mother started talking about how nice it looked. I just ignored her and walked into the building, my mother running after me. As I walked through the hallways, I noticed that a lot of the kids in the classrooms were really focused. It's like that was the most important thing in the world to them. And that shouldn't even be true. 

 Anyways, once we got to the principles office, I felt a very cold aura come from it. I didn't know why I did, but I decided to ignore it. My mother knocked on the door, causing a quiet response to be heard from the other side of the door. I opened the door to see a room that was only lit by the light of the sun. My mother walked in and looked around as I closed the door behind us.

 "Ah, you must be Sakura Arai," said a cold voice.

 I turned my head quickly and saw a desk with a chair behind it. Sitting in this chair was a man with orange hair and purple eyes. He kinda reminded me of the Asano kid I met the other day for some reason, and I don't know why.

 As I was thinking, my mother walked up to the desk.

 "That would be me!" she beamed.

 "And would that be your daughter?" he asked.

 My mother turned her head to look at me.

 "Yes she is!" she beamed again.

 "Well then," said the man," It's very nice to meet you! Would you mind telling me your name?"

 I stood there by the door, quiet until my mother spoke up.

 "Come over here Natsuki," she said," It's not polite to ignore someone."

 I sighed and walked over to the desk.

 "Sorry," I said," My name is Natsuki Arai. It's nice to meet you sir."

 Suddenly, the man smirked in a way that sent chills down my spine. 

 "Very good," he said," Now, why don't you two take a seat so that we can start."

 Overall, this meeting was extremely boring. My mother left an hour after it started, just like she said, leaving me alone with the principle. He gave me a test and told me to do my very best on it after she left. Apparently it was supposed to help him figure out what class I was supposed to be in. And I found this test really simple. We already learned all of this stuff back when I still went to Yomiyama North. And, surprisingly, I was able to figure out everything that we had learned when it happened. Apparently when everything seems like hell as people die around you, it's easier to remember everything you learned. Either that, or it's only me. Probably only me.

 Anyway, when I finished my test, I gave it to the principle. He looked over it for a few minutes while I looked out the window. Most kids have already left for the day, so I didn't see many students. Clouds were covering the sun, they have been all day, and it just started raining.

 I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the principle say something.

 "Interesting," he said," You did an amazing job on the test, yet half the time you didn't seem to be very focused."

 "It's a habit," I explained while looking at him.

 "It seems like it is," he said," I would originally put you in class B, but I think we'll put you in class A and see where that goes. Okay?"

 Chills ran through my spine as I nodded my head. I assume that's the class the Virtuosos five are in. Though I don't mind being in the same class as Ren, the other four are another story. They get on my nerves, especially Asano.

 "Good," said the principle," I hope that you'll have an amazing year here, Natsuki."
