*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
The sudden ring of my alarm woke me up from my peaceful slumber. I groan and hit my alarm, turning it off. I sit up and stare at nothing in particular for a few seconds, giving my brain some time to wake up as well. I eventually kick my legs over the side of my bed and stand up, stretching my limbs while cracking a few bones into place.
Once I finished, I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I stripped my clothes off of myself before stepping into the shower, the warm water hitting against my bare skin. I sigh in content before grabbing my body wash and washing myself off. Once I finished, I rinsed my body with water and stepped out the shower.
I dried off before wrapping the towel around my body and making my way to my room. I bring out my school uniform, which was a sailor-like shirt and gray shorts with a white hat. That's right, I'm wearing the male uniform. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind wearing skirts, but the female uniform skirts for my school are just too uncomfortable.
I put on a black turtleneck shirt before putting on my actual uniform. I brush out my hair before pinning it up to make it look shorter. After that, I put on my school uniform hat and slide on my socks. "[Y/n], are you ready to go?" I grabbed my school bag and ran out my door.
"Coming!" I quickly grab some toast before shoving part of it in my mouth and running to put on my shoes. After I finished, I stood up and looked at my older brother, "Ready to go Langa?" He smiles at me and nods. "Have fun you two and stay out of trouble, okay?" I turn around and look at my mom before nodding, "Alright"
And with that, Langa and I left for school. The first few minutes of the walk was silent, though it was a comfortable silence. "Nervous?" I look up at Langa before looking back in front of me and nodding, "Yeah. Are you?" Langa nodded, "Mhm" No more words were exchanged as Langa and I reached my school. I stopped walking as Langa did the same.
I look up at my brother, "Bye Langa, have fun at school" Langa chuckles before placing a hand on my hat, "I should be saying that. Have fun and stay out of trouble, okay?" I nod before turning around and walking into my school building. Okay so I guess I just need to find the office. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

That was a lie.
I've been looking for the office for 25 minutes now. Where the heck could it be!? As I was lost in my thoughts, I accidentally bumped into someone. I stumbled back a bit, but didn't thankfully fall. "My bad" I quickly apologize as I look up at the person I ran into.
He was wearing the school's male uniform like I was as he had black hair and emerald green eyes. Not gonna lie, he's kinda cute. "It's okay" He shrugs before walking past me. Wait, I should ask him where the office is. I quickly turn around and grab his uniform sleeve.
The boy turns around and raises an eyebrow, a slightly irritated expression on his face. I let go of his sleeve, "S-sorry, I was just wondering if you could take me to the office.." The boy sighs before walking past me, "Come on" I slightly smile as I trail beside him.
"So, are you new here? I've never seen you around before" I nod, "Yeah. I just moved here from Canada" The boy glances at me, "Canada, huh? We're here" I stop walking and look in front of me, seeing a door with the word 'OFFICE' above it. I turn to the boy and give him a slight smile, "Thank you for showing me the way here"
The boy nods before turning around and walking away. I take a deep breath before knocking on the door to the office. "Come in" A deep, firm voice spoke from the other side of the door. I complied, entering the office and closing the door behind me. There was an adult who looked like they were in their mid [principal's age range] sitting at a desk placed in the middle of the room.
The adult looked up at me and smiled, "Ah, you must be [Y/n]. Is that correct?" I timidly nod, not saying a word. The adult grabs a piece of paper before standing up and making their way over towards me. The elder adult stops in front of me and holds out their free hand.
"I am [Principal's name], your principal. It's a pleasure to meet you, [Y/n]. I hope you have a good experience here at this school. Here is your schedule, please come to me if you need anything" I nod, grabbing the paper from their hand and looking over it. Looks like I have science for my first period.
"Now, I'll let you be on your way. Goodbye [Y/n]" I nod and give the principal a small smile before turning around and walking out the office. Great, now I just need to find my class. As if on cue, the bell rang as the halls started emptying. Shit.. I mentally cursed as I began speed walking down the hallway in a slight panic, looking at each classroom number to find mine.
I was stopped in my tracks by a tap on my shoulder. I came to a halt and turned around, meeting the gaze of a girl with long, dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes. The female's skin was perfectly peach as she was wearing the female's uniform. The girl gave me a smile, "Are you lost? You look panicked" I nod, feeling my cheeks warm from embarrassment.
"I'll show you the way! What class do you have?" I hand the girl my schedule, which she looks at before handing it back to me with a smile. "You have the same classes as me! Let's go since we're a bit late" I nod as the girl starts walking, me following behind her. We eventually stop in front of a classroom, the girl opening the door.
"Ah, there you are Olivia. Mind telling me why you're late?" The girl who showed me the way bowed, "Sorry [Teacher's name], I was helping out the new student" I walk in behind her and give a slight nod. The teacher nods, "Okay, that's acceptable. Please sit down in your seat Olivia. I'm assuming you're [Y/n]?"
I nod as the teacher smiles and holds out his/her hand. "I'm [teacher's name], pleased to meet you" I shake the teacher's hand for a few seconds before putting my hand back down to my side. "Okay, please introduce yourself to the class" I grab a piece of chalk and write my name on the chalk board behind me before turning back around to face the class, "I'm [Y/n] Hasegawa and I came from Canada"

The teacher looks at me, "Th-that's it..?" I look at the teacher and nod, "Was that bad?" [Teacher's name] shakes his/her head, "No, that was fine. Please sit next to Miya. Miya, please raise your hand" The boy who helped me to the office earlier raised his hand. I nod and make my way towards the empty seat beside him.
As I was walking, I couldn't help but notice how there were stares and whispers directed towards me, making me more nervous. I tried my best to ignore them as I sit down and look at the front of the class, paying attention to the now beginning lesson.
~timeskip~
I'm currently sitting outside under a tree on the school premises, peacefully eating my lunch. I look up at the sky. I wonder how Langa is doing. I was soon cut from my thoughts as I heard the grass crunch and a presence beside me. I turn to see the same brown haired girl from earlier sitting beside me.
What was her name again..? Darn I forgot already. "Mind if I sit here?" I shake my head no before looking at the sky and eating my lunch once again. "[Y/n], right?" I nod, my gaze remaining on the sky. "I'm Olivia, nice to meet you. So, anyone caught your eye yet?"
That question made me choke on my food as I began coughing into my fist. Olivia started patting my back with one hand as she handed me my drink with the other. I quickly took my drink and wasted no time chugging the [drink of choice]. Once I finally got the food down my system and stopped coughing, I looked at Olivia.
"What's with that question!? I only just got here!" Olivia giggled while raising her hands in defense, "Sorry! I couldn't help myself!" I sigh, leaning my back against the trunk of the tree. An image of the boy from this morning flashed into my mind.
His name was Miya I think? He was kinda cute. I must've started blushing or something because Olivia began squealing, "Oh my gosh, you HAVE found someone! Who is she? Who is she?" She? I then remembered how I appeared as a male.
I sighed and shook my head, "No one" Olivia pouted, "Oh come on! Who is it? Is it Hannah? Or maybe Riley!?" I chuckled as I continued to listen to Olivia guessing names of people who I don't even know.
Maybe school won't be so bad here...
