New Student!?

In the messy bright room that filled with unending lively aura, a girl named Subaru is sleeping at her bed in the corner.

****

As I'm sleeping enjoying my deep slumber from my comfortable bed there's a noise that keeps ringing, again and again, disturbing my peaceful morning.

I tried to ignore it because its a hassle to search what's the thing that making that noise and shut down it.

Closing my eyes more tightly I remember something so important...

I have school today.

"Wahhhh!!!"

Getting up and checking the time it's actually my alarm who's been making that noise.

It's now 7:30 in the morning.

"Oh no!!!"

Running straight to the bathroom as I strip my white-yellow striped pajama I quickly take a short bath and brushes my teeth at high speed.

Because of the shortness of my hair, I don't need to put much effort into styling it as I leave it as it is.

I noticed that mom already left the house for some reason and left me some breakfast to eat at the table.

Heading downstairs while I dressing up myself with my uniform, I ate breakfast at the table in the kitchen.

My uniform is quite stylish... a bluish sailor uniform as the sleeve and my collar is white with a red line at small part of the collar.

My skirt is purely white as there no more details except the comfort it gives to those who wear it.

I'm almost ready... Now, where's my bag...

Without a proper check to see if there some stuff that I forgot I just grab my bag and leave the house without checking.

"I'm sorry, Ka-chan! (mom) I'll make sure to clean the dishes after I go home."

As I said it with a tone of guilt and apology I rush straight to the school...

****

Running with all of my might hoping that I got in time before the school bell rings I encounter a girl with the same uniform as me.

Brown hair with a bone pin at her bangs as her dog ears are showing from her head.

A brown tail that straightens up showing how nervous the girl is because she's also late as me.

It's a dog girl... Actually, I know her quite well because she's my classmate. Her name is Korone Inugami.

Korone greeted me with her usual bright smile as we run.

"Good morning! Why are you late? this is rare..."

"Good morning too. Well, I'll tell you the reason later *pant* We're late you know. We don't have much time... So... why are you late this time?"

"I spend playing games until morning ehehe."

"I know you, since what time did you start?"

"Eto... What time, you say... I started since 19:00 hehe."

Right now it's almost 8:00 so in short, she spends roughly 12 hours playing nonstop and yet she's still in full energy even tho we're late.

A-amazing... Even tho I knew her being like this it's still amazing.

Barely made it in time we managed to get into the school into our room with sweats all over our body.

*Pant Pant Pant*

Going at my seat in the middle of our classroom I sat down with a haggard expression.

Korone's seat is at the very back far away from mine so I didn't tell her the reason why I am late. Well, after we gather our strength we'll chat but right now we're physically exhausted.

Geez, I thought that this will be my first being late in class. Why Ka-chan didn't wake me up... In the first place, Where do Ka-chan go anyway!?

"Woah... You're late... This is unusual."

A girl's voice talks to me as she hands me a water bottle.

She's my seatmate.

Her white hair is very long and in the end, is a vibrant red color. Two small buns and two small bells at each side of her hair.

She has two white horns at her forehead and the color of her eyes is ruby red.

Her name is Ayame Nakiri, an oni.

Before I answer her I take a drink in her water bottle and take a deep breath to calm my heart down.

"*Pant pant* You see, my mom just suddenly goes out without waking me up or even telling me."

"Oh isn't that bad?"

"Yeah but she cooks me breakfast and left a note that she will be back at night. So I guess it's fine. But I'm almost got late."

"At least you made it in time, right? *angelic giggle*" (Author's note: Yes, I purposely put the word 'angelic' in her giggle.)

"Well, you can call it like that but geez where did Ka-chan go..."

As we're having a short conversation the school bell rang throughout the whole school giving a sign that the school is about to start.

Students quickly enter their classroom as the teachers leave their room and walk towards their scheduled classroom.

I completely recover from the fatigue so as Korone and we're just waiting for the teacher to come.

While we wait, I heard my classmates gossip about something that catches my interest.

"Hey, hey... Did you hear? A new student is going into this classroom?"

"Yeah, I heard it... They said that the girl is pretty cute."

"I actually saw her and it's true that she's cute."

"I hope she's friendly..."

"But her hair is blonde like a delinquent so I don't think she's nice."

"Really!? Then let's just hope that we don't get her attention if she's a delinquent."

"I agree, I agree."

The front side door opens with a screech.

Our teacher the classroom.

As our usual start, our Classroom president does the starting words of the class.

"Stand up." As she said we all stand up.

"Attention." As she said we all pay attention.

"Bow." As she said we all bow to our teacher.

"Sit down." As she said we all sit down.

Our teacher also bows and looks at us with an excited face as she tried to hide her expression but kinda failed.

"Ahem, As most of you know a new student will be coming to this classroom... She's actually a dropout since years ago but she said that she is still familiar with high school life. So I hope that you all get along with her and help her when she's in need."

Now that the teacher said it I'm now more interested in that new student.

I wonder what kind of girl she is...

The teacher beckons the new student from outside.

It didn't take a couple of seconds of hesitation for the new student to get into the room.

She looks younger than I thought she could... She might even look younger than me.

Like my classmate had said her hair is blonde but more like a vanilla tone hair than pure color blonde.

Short hair like mine but her hair at the side is braided as they are attached with cotton fluffy white balls.

Her height is smaller than me about 150 cm and her aura she gives is a caring and gentle totally opposite from a delinquent.

Wait...

Wait!?

What what what what!?

Huh is this real!?

As I was confusion I stand up and shout out my thoughts.

"KA-CHAN!?"
