You followed the principal around as she gave you a tour of the school. She told you beforehand that it might take a while considering how big the school is; therefore, you are excused from the first few minutes of your morning class.

"Normally, I'd have one of the student council members give you a tour of the school, but they have a mandatory meeting today. To be honest, it's been a while since I've done a tour. It's refreshing compared to my office where I do paperwork." You nodded in understanding as she continued to tell you where different classes were.

So far, she showed you how the school worked. Each floor was for the different years. Everyone had the same lunchtime, so some years mingled with each other. Gym was also co-ed, so you were expecting to see different grades in your gym class.

Your last stop was in front of an office, and it didn't take long for someone to know that it was the principal's office.

   "Please, come on in." You bowed slightly as you entered her office and quietly shut the door behind you. She motioned for you to have a seat and you politely accepted.

   "I was very impressed with your test scores from the placement exams. It's almost like we have a genius at our school," she praised you. "Which school did you go to before Nekoma?"

You became shocked. You thought she saw your transcripts so you assumed she knew that you were actually homeschooled.

   "A-Actually," you started off shyly. "I was homeschooled. This is the first time attending an actual school..."

She then started to blabber out more apologies than you could count on your fingers.

   "I-It's okay! You don't have to apologize! So, please stop!" She then calmed down a bit before getting a drink from her mug and letting out a breath of relief.

   "I just didn't expect..."

"N-No," you could feel your face becoming hot. "You didn't know! It's okay, you're completely justified!"

"Well then...," she then cleared her throat. "Now that we've both cleared up that misunderstanding, I'll be handing you a list of all the clubs at Nekoma. Seeing that, I think the fashion club would be a good selection for you; however, you are free to choose any club as long as the said club accepts you as a member. You are now dismissed, please go to your morning class." And with that she sent you off.

You stood in front of your class as you breathed in and out for a minute. It'd be the first and only time you get to introduce yourself and make a good first impression, so you had to make it count. After a few seconds of trying to relax, you knocked on the door and excused yourself before sliding the door and walking inside. Already you could feel the many eyes on you and you couldn't help but wish if the earth could swallow you whole now.

   "I was wondering when you'd show up. I thought you might have gotten lost or something. (L/N) (Y/N), right? Don't be shy, introduce yourself." One look at your teacher and you already knew that she was the nicest person (second to your mom) you've met. You smiled at her before walking towards the front of the class and bowed before them.

   "H-Hi, my name is (L/N) (Y/N). I hope we can get along." You internally cringed when you realized that you had stuttered, but some students waved back at you and others just simply smiled which relieved you. Your teacher then pointed towards your desk which was right in the middle of the whole class and you prayed that you wouldn't embarrass yourself.

As you were in the middle of having an internal midlife crisis, everyone stared at you. Some noticed that your school bag was the latest randoseru bag with limited edition charms from different fandoms hanging from it. When you sat down and took out your class materials, some noticed they were from ridiculously overpriced school brands that were good quality and long-lasting. Some of the girls noticed that you were currently wearing a charm bracelet from Fanny & Friends*.

In other words, you were dripping.

And unbeknownst to you, some of these students were making plans.

All except for a boy who's hair resembled a pudding cup.

-

   "You're that model, right?! The one that's always on those teen magazines?!"

   "No way! I heard they only gave these out at the Mayhem concert in Kyoto! They were supposedly limited too!"

   "You're soooo pretty!"

   "You can sit with me at lunch!"

According to your student manual, each class had a ten minute break after every class; however, you didn't read anything about being bombarded with questions and having a crowd around you on the first day of school. You felt like you were at a showcase and you were the main display. You tried to answer some of your classmate's questions, but they overwhelmed you. You opted to just smile and nod.

Eventually it was lunchtime and you were considering eating in class when a girl with bright brown eyes and equally matching hair approached you. She gave you a grin before sticking her hand out.

   "Hi! I'm Sawabe Tsubaki! I saw you come in through the school gates with your dad. Not to embarrass you or anything, but I could've sworn he was on the brink of tears." Your mouth opened slightly at her boldness before turning into a smile and eventually a small giggle came out.

   "Yeah... that sounds like him alright. Oh, and I'm (L/N) (Y/N). Pleased to meet you." You stuck your hand out and engulfed it in her's.

   "Say (L/N), why don't you come sit with me and my friends at lunch. We're always open to newcomers. You looked a little overwhelmed today too and we sit always at a quiet place." Your eyes had a sparkle to them as you immediately accepted her request.
