3. My first day at Shujin

I coulnd't open my heavy eyes, not even at the annoying sound of my alarm. I turned around and closed my ears, groaning. For any weird reason, my heart pounded like crazy.

I turned off my annoying alarm and sat up on my sofa. While rubbing my eyes, I wondered why my heart is pumping so fast against my chest.

'Calm down Y/N, it's just your first day st school'

I now rubbed my whole face and squeezed it, not believing the first school day caused it. It felt weird. 'Maybe it was this dream again and I just can't remember that I had it...'

I sighed as I finally got up, and made my way into the bathroom. As I looked into the mirror while brushing my teeth, I frowned. I had big eyebags and my eyes were red. 'Wow, if I really make friends today, they'll probably be blind...'

After finishing, I packed my things and left my messy apartment.

I didn't really have problems with trains and ways I had to find, because I rarely got lost. Just had a good navigation sense. That's also the reason why I quickly found my classroom. The sign says 2-E. I'm at the right door. 'I don't get why people always get lost on their first school day...'

I stood at the entrance of the classroom as my eyes wandered over the few chattering people who doesn't even seem to notice me. 'Guess I'm too early then'

I heard coughing behind me, and as I turned around I saw a middle aged man, who I assumed to be our teacher. I mumbled an apologize and steped out of his way, but he didn't move. Instead, he asked: "Are you in this class?"

I made eye contact with him and nodded. He then introduced himself.

"I'm Mr. Ushimaru, your new class teacher. I'm glad you found your way". He then took a quick glance into the classroom. "Seems like not many students arrived yet. Please take a seat and wait for the bell and my arrival"

He then nodded quickly and I bowed, he made his way through the hallway and I slowly went into the classroom. I was a bit clueless what to do. I didn't even know one of these faces. And I'm not really in the mood to make friends. Yes, my social level is not incredibly high. I didn't want to experience something like that again, since my childhood best friend left me...

I didn't notice the stare on me while I was lost in thoughts. I took a glance to the person from whom the stare came from. He had blonde short hairs and big brown eyes. His eyes were a little widened as he looked at me. I raised an eyebrow. 'Huh, are my eyes that red? I didn't smoke, sheesh...'

I sighed as I made my way to the seat next to him, since nobody made a move to take this one. I just dropped my bag and layed my head inbetween my arms onto the table. I was still tired as hell. And I still couldn't remember my dream. Neither the reason of my heart pounding.

I didn't know if the boy was still staring, but I didn't care either. Other people came into the classroom, but you didn't raised your head to look for your new classmates. You still had enough time to waste with them. Instead you spend your thought of your financial situation.

'Slowly but surely I need to think about how to get more money. Since I canceled this thing with him...'

I gulped. The work at the Beef Bowl Shop wasn't enough, but for the moment it was okay. What keeps me alive was the money of my parents and the money I got from my former "boss".

With your head still in your arms, you heard the door slammed and you jumped, looked for the reason. Your teacher walked to his desk and turned his body towards his class. He loudly cleared his throat to turn the attention of the students towards him. Everyone went quiet, with the glance towards their teacher. He started to introduce him towards the whole class, but since you already know who he was, you took a quick glance to the blonde boy on your left side. He actually was looking out of the window instead of paying attention towards his teacher. I frowned. Maybe he had a similar bad day as me.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mr. Ushimaru and from today on, I am your class teacher for the next years. I hope to be able to form a good school time for you.". He then bowed lightly infront of us. 'Huh, I thought teachers were too arrogant to bow infront of students'

We quickly made name signs and then he began with his lesson, which I barely payed attention to. I had to make a change quickly. 'Maybe I could ask at Diner to work there, it seems like a more responsible restaurant to me. And maybe they pay me better...'

I sighed as the first lesson finally was over. Everyone either rushed out of the classroom, or packed out their food. Seems like there was no other choice than play my mobile game.

I took out my mobile phone, but then I felt someone tip a few times at my left shoulder. I looked at the direction and saw the blonde boy, avoiding eye contact.

"Hey...", he says, and rubbed his neck. I couldn't help but smile a bit at his behaviour. Before I could answer, he continued.

"Are you okay? I mean....you look kinda worried 'n stuff...". He still refused to look into my eyes.

I decided to trust him. At least he might be the first friend again after 10 years... I smiled at him.

"I just had a bad beginning of the day, and I thought about if I should cancel my current part time job. But nothing serious, don't worry!"

He frowned. "Where do you work? I would be hella blind to not notice someone as beautiful like you somewhere!"

His raise of self confidence was sudden. A few seconds ago, he was avoiding eye contact and now he already flirts with me, huh...

I just looked at him. "Beef Bowl Shop. Not the best. I'll eventually cancle it. But then I need to find something ASAP...". I mumbled the last part. But he kinda seemed to catch it nonetheless.

"You low on money or somethin'? I could pay you a good meal once! I mean....If ya like to.."

I smiled at him. He was not really my type, but he was very nice. And I somehow appreciate that.

"I'd love to. But...", I made a little pause. Usually I didn't want to involve people in my financial crisis, but I couldn't decline my very first potential friend. I shook my head.
"...nevermind. How about today? After school? At Diner?"

This was also my chance to look around if they are searching for a part timer. The boy widened his eyes. "Already?! Whoa, you gotta mean it, don't ya?"

I laughed and punched friendly his arm. "You jerk. I'm just happy someone talked to me. Also, maybe I can ask them in Diner if they want me to work there."

He gave a defeated look. "Aight...oh I noticed somethin'. What's your name?", he laughed a bit awkwardly. I couldn't help but laugh.

"You don't even know my name and ask me out? Wow, you REALLY gotta mean it, what?". I continued to laugh.

At first he was embarresed, but them he joined me and laughed too. "Just answer my question, idiot". I giggled

"Okay, okay. Y/N L/N my name, it's a pleasure to meet you". I gave him my hand. He took it and smiled.

"Ryuji Sakamoto, same goes to you"
