Musical Paradox

Singularity

Both people stared at other as if time stopped for them. Maki looked closer at Shira's face, it was definitely him, save for a band-aid on the bruise from yesterday and his eyeglasses.

Tatsu looked at Maki , then looked at Shira, before shaking his head while saying.

"Wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwait wha? Do you know her, Shira?"

Shira broke his gaze as he said.

"Yeah, we met yesterday."

He was then greeted with Tatsu getting right in front of his face, who was rapid firing questions such as 'where'd you meet?' or 'how did it happen?!'

Shira sighed as he pushed Tatsu away from him. At the same time, Maki looked at the commotion with a bewildered expression, Shira briefly looked at her and briefly raised his free hand as a greeting.

Principal Minami giggled before coughing, attracting everyone's attention. She then looked at Maki and said.

"These nine boys are our latest students. Please tour them around the campus after class."

Maki blinked, then asked, "Uh, isn't this supposed to be something meant for the Student Council President?"

After a brief period of silence, the Principal said in embarrassment, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry."

She as she fumbled to call the SC President, Tatsu then asked Shira,
"Who's the SC President?"

Shira also replied, "As if I know."

Naoki then joined the conversation,

"I'm guessing it's one of those girls at μ's?"

Maki looked at Naoki. Despite his rather rugged look, he guessed correctly. At the same time, the Student Council President entered the room.

"Honoka here!!"

This time, the boys looked at a brown haired girl with blue eyes wearing a third year's uniform. As Honoka stepped forward, she looked at the boys and asked.

"Are these the new students?"

"Yes," The principal answered, " ... please tour them around the campus after class."

"Will do!", Honoka cheerfully replied, not noticing Tatsuya struggling to muffle a scream of excitement.

"I'll take my leave then.", Maki said, earning an approving nod from the Principal before stepping out the door.

Sato soon raised his hand.

"Yes??" Principal Minami asked.

"Speaking of class ... where's our classrooms?"

(20 minutes later)

After explaining what had happened. Maki heard the door open as the teacher entered and mentioned something about new students, she then looked at the door and saw the same black american from the Principal's office enter first, followed by the other 8 boys.

"Please introduce yourself." The teacher said.

"Uhmm ... uh. My name is Sato Kawaguchi.. The tallest boy said, "...n-nice to meet you!"

There was an uncomfortable silence before Maki heard Rin giggle.

She then saw Shira lean towards Jack and said,

"Uh, Sato-san. You went with your surname first."
Sato immediately covered his face out of embarrassment.
