April 16th

Mai stood in front of the large mirror mounted on the bathroom wall and tugged on the bottom of her black skirt. She pulled her socks up higher on her thighs and brushed her auburn hair again, trying to look as presentable as possible for her first day at Karasuno High School. The nerves may not have affected her so strongly if it had been the first day for the entire student body, but moving to a brand-new school half-way into the semester was bound to make anybody anxious.

The move to Miyagi prefecture was not Mai's choice, nor was it very planned out. But all involved adults agreed to sign the papers and hand legal guardianship to her Aunt Ren, who happened to live 6 hours away from her home, leaving Mai with no choice but to suck it up and move on.

Her Aunt left early for a morning shift at the hospital, so Mai walked the desolate streets until she came across the large gates.

Miyagi Prefecture was a stark contrast to Tokyo. The country side was so quiet and peaceful, unlike the city streets, where there were cars piled up in traffic at all hours of the night. Even though she was against it at first, she found herself growing attached to the serene landscape.

Her black leather shoes made imprints in the malleable soil when she stepped through the iron gates, folding out a small map of the school provided by her aunt's printer. The piece of paper nestled in her left hand led her to the office, where she needed to introduce herself and collect any extra paperwork that Ren forgot to fill out.

The lovely lady behind the desk grinned widely when she spotted the teenager, her bright red lips contrasting against her pale skin and dark hair. The jar of pens stored in the corner of the wobbly desk clinked every time she lifted a finger. With a sweet tone and an extra lovely smile, she asked the girl standing a few inches away from her desk. "Name, please?"

"Matsuda Mai," said the teenager, grateful that she shared her first encounter with such a pleasant lady.

"Ah, a new student, eh? You're going to love Karasuno." The lady whose nametag read Takeuchi grinned, typing quickly into the desktop keyboard. "Any clubs? We have swim, basketball, soccer, volleyball-"
