"HEY AYA!!!" I heard a yell from across the building.

Turning my head towards the noise, I saw a very anxious Nakajima waving his hands frantically as the entire cohort, or at least the rest of it (we were let off late), as I bid goodbye to Ryutaro who left for his locker.

"Come on! Its lunch~!" Nakajima swung his arm around my shoulder. "Anyway, whats your next subject?"

"Co-ordinated science..."

"Aw...I'm taking triple science, so I have Physics next..." He pouted as we headed downstairs to the canteen.

"I see, now, where do we sit?" I looked around for an empty seat in the already crowded cafeteria.

"Uhm...Set C please. No mushrooms, thank you." I ordered and paid for my food. "Eh, Nakajima-san, wait!"

"Come on Aya-chan~ You're so slow!!" Nakajima scolded as he got utensils for us, "I'll introduce you to the rest, so SMILE~!!" He went back to the table.

Yuto, (he made me call him that) explained as other boys around our age nodded and attacked their food. "Secondly, this school follows the American 'homeroom system' in which we move classes all the time. And not the teachers. Next, rules. If you see anyone with dyed hair, don't follow them. Saki-sensei will give you detention."

"YUP!! She gave Yuto-kun one month of cleaning toilets!" Chinen Yuri, a boy around my height piped up
