Since I'm a scholar, I woke up at the dormitory provided by the school for me...

I took a bath, wore my uniform (i didn't expected it to be this short) and proceeded to my school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My teacher, Hanazono-sensei, an english teacher, is the one assigned to introduce me to my class. She entered the room first and made me wait outside..

I'm really nervous while she's saying that there will be a transfer student from Philippines etc. etc..... Then she finally called my name...

"Koharu-san....please come in.."she said..

I entered the room slowly...I look at my sensei, then to my classmates...I was so nervous that I didn't notice that I've been staring for them for a while..

Then my sensei said, "Koharu-san please introduce yourself."

"Hai.." I replied..

"Konnichiwa..my name is Kumiko Koharu...I'm from Philippines... I'm not yet that fluent in speaking in Japanese so please help me... Douzo Yoroshiku onegaishimasu..." Then I bowed...

My sensei translated what I said into Japanese.. And turned again to me...

"Yoroshiku" My classmates replied.

"Koharu-san you can sit in the chair beside the window. The one in front of Yabu-san." she said.

"Hai." I said while stuttering.

"Konnichiwa.." the other students said as I passed them as I go to my chair...

"Konnichiwa.." I replied..

As I arrive at my place...I can't help myself to stare at him.. Yes..HIM...Kota Yabu-san..I was so distracted by him that I didn't notice that I've been staring at him for a while...

"Doue(Why?)" He said...tilting his head up as he talk to me...

"Nandemo nai (nothing).." I said..a little scared.. and heard him mutter something I don't understand..

I sat in my chair.. and did my best to look normal..

As the attention of the crowd goes away from me.. I tilted my head down, covered my face and tried my best to hide the truth...The truth that a guy so handsome is sitting behind me!!!! Kyaaaaaahhh!!!!!♥♥

I was so busy daydreaming that I didn't that another guy is sitting beside me...His name plate tells me that he is Yaotome-san..He releases a good aura..Not like Yabu-san.. I can tell that he is a friendly and a kind guy...Yabu-san is handsome but i don't think he's as friendly as Yaotome-san...

"Konnichiwa." he said.."Yaotome desu.." He offered a handshake to me. I accepted it but I was a little confused.

"I thought handshakes are not a form of greeting here in Japan.." I told him..

"Yes it's not... But foreigners are not the only one coping up with our tradition.. we also try to cope up with them..." He answered.

"Ohh.. I see..." I let go of his hand and give him a smile.

"Yokouso!!!, As of now can I call you Kumiko-chan?..But if you don't want it's..." He said..

"Iie..Iie.. it's okay.. thank you for welcoming me Yaotome-kun??" I said..

He let out a smile and returned to listening to our sensei..
