In Sakura No Hana, it is Lucy's first day of school. She was nervous but brave. She is walking in Sakura No Hana Elementary School, going to her next class. Lucy didn't need a Japanese learning class since she's fully fluent. She is now in her math class and sat down in one of the front tables. As the black haired 9-year-old sat down, the boy sitting at the same table as her had a scared but stunned look. Like he was in love in a way.
Lucy noticed the boy staring at him and said in a monotone voice, "Hello". "Oh... you speak English?" the boy asked in a Japanese accent. "I'm bilingual." Lucy said. "Oh... ok..." the boy said, "Yo-You-You're new here, aren't you?". Lucy nodded yes. "Oh, ok... because I heard about a new student.... I just wasn't expecting her to be a girl... or American..." the boy said, "M-may I ask, what is your name?". "Lucy Ichika Loud." Lucy said. "Oh... I'm Haruto Shinoda..." Haruto said. "Chūi kurasu!" (Attention class!) they then heard the teacher say.
It cuts to later that day. It is the end of the school day. Lucy is walking out. As she is walking in the hallway on her way out, she hears a kid say, "Mite! Goshikkufurīkudesu!" (Look! It's the gothic freak!). She turned to him and saw a group of boys. "Aww, dore dake shakai ga kirai ka ni tsuite nakigoto o iu tsumoridesu ka? Naze son'nani shinken'na nda?!" (Are you going to whine about how much you hate society? why so serious?!) another boy taunted while putting his index fingers at the corners of his mouth and doing a joker smile.
Lucy ran out of sight as the group of boys just laughed heavily. She ran out of building and stopped to catch a breath. She then hears a horn honk. She looked to see her grandmother in the driver's seat, Leni in the passenger's, on the phone with someone, and Lily in her car seat in the back. She then ran up to the car and hopped in.
"So, magomusume (granddaughter), how was your day?" Ema asked. "It was fine until the end. A group of boys made fun of me for being goth." Lucy said. This caught Leni's attention. "Shikimori, I got to go. It's my little sister. Yeah, I'll call you back. Alright. Bye." Leni said before hanging up the phone. "Who's making fun of you?" Leni asked, ready to pounce. "I didn't get their names." Lucy said.
With Lincoln and Akari, they are in Akari's room. They just got finished studying and are now chatting. "You know what's 1 thing I love about Sakura No Hana Private School?" Lincoln asked. "What is that?" Akari asked her boyfriend. "The bathrooms. It's so peaceful. The bathrooms in Royal Woods Elementary and Middle were terrible. You don't know what it's like when you're trying to use the urinal in peace but then 4 guys suddenly enter and start passing around a vape or weed to each other. During lunchtime, there would be like 20 guys in the bathroom doing fights, vaping or hanging out. It was nasty." Lincoln said. "Gross." Akari said trying to swallow a little vomit.
"Yeah. The boys in Royal Woods are douchebags too. They would blare mumble rap through a Bluetooth speaker running around the school, they would have the ugly broccoli haircuts, they would wear ugly skinny jeans and cringy ass hoodies, and they would talk like they think they're in the hood, when in reality they are upper class suburban kids. I hate those kids so much. The kids here are much more sophisticated. They are a lot nicer, a lot cleaner, a lot more mature, I love it here. I made actual friends, here. My old friends abandoned and turned on me at my lowest point in that suit." Lincoln said. "Wow... I'm sorry, koibito..." Akari said. Lincoln sighed and said, "Thank you, Akari-girl. I appreciate it.". Akari smiled. This made Lincoln smile too.
Meanwhile in Royal Woods, the Loud sisters (sans Lori, Leni, Lucy, and Lily) are in Aunt Ruth's home. "This is all Stincoln's fault! If it weren't for him, then we wouldn't be here right now!" Lynn Jr said. "Yeah, him and his mommy." Luna mocked. "Why couldn't Pop-Pop take us?" Luan asked. They all shrugged.
Meanwhile on Vancouver Island, Albert is enjoying the view of the beach. He is looking at the sunset. The old white-haired man then took out a passport sheet. "Ema, I'm coming back... Suziko, daddy's coming home, sweetie." Albert said as he started filling it out.
