Falling For You

Breathtaking

She laughed and Gon noticed how infectious it seemed for he laughed right along with her. "Think nothing of it. I'm Retz by the way."

"Well, nice to meet you, Retz! By the way, do you know where the office is?"

"Obviously." Retz gave a playful roll of her eyes, and Gon, realizing how stupid of a question he just asked, turned pink.

"Heh...well, mind telling me which direction it is?"

"Better yet, I'll even take you." She offers him another smile and turns around, beginning to walk.

Gon follows her while gazing around the hallway. "This school seems pretty big for a high school. They sure went all out, didn't they?" Though this was honestly the first actual school Gon has been to, so he didn't know much about them.

Retz laughed. "You'll get used to it."

As they made their way down the hall, Gon noticed that there were a lot of students casting glances at them, which made him frown.

"Hey, Retz? Why is everyone staring at us?" He figured it was because of his stature, which wouldn't be surprise. Everywhere he went, Gon always garnered stares, but he couldn't help but wonder if this time, it was because they thought Retz was beautiful. Not that he would blame them, she certainly was and she had the aura of a popular maiden, even if he wasn't one of those attracted to her in that way.

Her response surprised him.

"Cause of you, duh." She covered her mouth and giggled. "We didn't think we'd get a new kid when school has already started, so it's a surprise to everyone. Plus, you're cute."

His cheeks grow warm at her last comment and he turns away with a nervous laugh. "I'm not all that special." He chuckles out, though he realizes there must not be as many students as he originally thought due to the size of the school, so of course the rest of the student body would be able to pick out a newcomer in no time.

Retz rolled her eyes, flipping her hair over her shoulder before stopping in front of a door. "Well, here we are." She chirped out, gesturing towards the door rather dramatically. "You need your schedule right?"

"Yeah." Gon nodded, just as the second bell rang.

"Oh, gosh! I'm going to be late for class!" She gives him a little wave. "I hope we have the same homeroom! Sorry, I wish I could show you where it is, but I can't be late again!" With that, Retz dashes off, leaving Gon alone in the hallway as the rest of the students started to slowly trudge off towards their classrooms rather reluctantly.

With a deep breathe, he opens the door of the office and steps inside. He's greeted by a middle aged woman, who looks over her glasses at him with a smile.

"You must be Gon."

"That's me!" He chirped out, a bit surprised she knew his name, but maybe not, after what Retz told him.

"Here's your schedule." She hands him a slip of paper. "You're in homeroom 3-A. I just need you to take these forms to your parents or guardian and bring them back by the end of the week. You won't be able to join any sort of club or activities until I have the necessary forms."

"Great!" Gon takes the paper and the envelope she hands him, scanning his schedule over before looking up at her with a smile. "Thanks, miss!" He gives her a wave before leaving the office, hoping his homeroom wouldn't be too hard to find.
