S1 E2: My Pearl Star Beginning

Reyna Harusame 春雨 レイナ

Today's the day. I'm going to Pearl Star Academy!

I left the house telling my parents and Grandpa how much I'll miss them and that I'll always do my best. When I got on the school bus to Pearl Star, I was so excited I didn't bother to take a nap on the way there. I regret it.

When we arrived at Pearl Star Academy, everything felt different compared to my entrance exam. I didn't have to worry about getting here anymore. I live here now. But even though I'm a student in this school, there's a lot I need to adapt to before I get comfortable with the environment.

All the new students of Pearl Star gathered in front of the school. It was time for our orientation.

The first place we went to was the performance hall where the headmistress was going to give us a briefing. When we were all seated, an elegant lady with long, wavy brown hair and violet eyes walked on stage and stood at a stand. She had to be the headmistress.

"Good morning fellow teachers and students," the headmistress started. "My name is Hinode Misaki, and you may all call me Headmistress Misaki.

"I do not want to make a very long introduction, but I will gladly welcome all the first years and the newcomers of the other years." Headmistress Misaki said warmly. "Your teachers will provide information about your classes, boarding, and other matters related to Aikatsu and the Aikatsu System."

The briefing lasted for about five minutes. Soon, a female teacher with indigo hair tied up into a ponytail and amber eyes walked up to me. She took out her phone and looked at it.

"Harusame Reyna, am I correct?" she asked as she looked up from her phone.

"Yes," I replied.

The teacher smiled at me. "It's nice to meet you, Harusame-dearie. I'm your class teacher, Otogawa Dahlia, but feel free to call me Dahlia-sensei."

"Thanks a lot," I said shyly. "What should I be doing now?"

Dahlia-sensei checked her phone once again. "First years are now gonna have their own class time, but since you're a third-year student, you'll most likely meet Headmistress Misaki privately. She'll give you some important details later. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you need anything."

I nodded. Then I decided to seek Headmistress Misaki. If I knew where her office was.

"Um, Dahlia-sensei, may I ask how to get to Headmistress Misaki's office?"

"Of course!" she replied eagerly. "Let's go now! Also, don't forget to bring your stuff!"

Dahlia-sensei and I went to the headmistress' office together. As we got there, a girl with rose pink hair in low pigtails was waiting outside the office.

"Aikyou-dearie," Dahlia-sensei called out.

The girl looked at us. "Good morning, Dahlia-sensei." Her eyes came in contact with mine. "Are you one of the new students here?"

"Yeah," I answered with a bow. "I'm Harusame Reyna, nice to meet you"

The girl grinned. "Harusame Reyna?! I'm Aikyou Yana! We're gonna be roommates, I think." She shook my hand.

Dahlia-sensei smiled. "Looks like you have a new friend, Harusame-dearie. Aikyou here will help you around the school, even if you aren't in the same class."

I thanked Dahlia-sensei before she left. Aikyou Yana and I entered the office together. Headmistress Misaki was seated at her desk.

"Good morning girls," greeted the headmistress warmly. "Looks like you already know each other."
