Chapter 1:
Blooming Love
Kokai no Monogatari (The Story of Regret)
BLOOMING LOVE
There were about a thousand people in this 500-meter noisy School Hall! Well, it is normal since this is one of the best schools in Japan.
Art and Fame School, Tokyo. It is different from other schools in Japan because of its unique criteria for admission. Here 90℅ students get admission based on their family's worth or their fame. The other 10℅ are those who have top marks in Junior high. And yeah, they teach the same stuff as the other schools do. However, this school has many clubs and activities when compared to normal High Schools.
Well, I like to call this school as the school which can make your dreams come true.
So why am I here?
Because today is the first day of my High School life! Am I excited? Well, I am not going to lie I am not excited. Why!?
I don't know it is probably because of my previous school experiences. My Junior High experience was not so special and was boring.
And that is why am I talking to myself.
As you guessed, I am not a social person. I always stay at my house and watch anime or read manga. So in short words, I have no friends. Haha
Maybe, that is why I am annoyed by the noise the students are making in this hall.
I looked around the hall, I saw many students whom I've already known and seen and I saw many other students who were laughing and enjoying this boring orientation class with their friends.
“Ah, I wish I could be happy too" I said that, aloud.
I am not going to lie, I want to have friends as well. Having friends can make you happy and less lonely right? Ah, if only I was lucky.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from my left side!
“Umm? So you are not happy right now?"
I looked over to my left side and I was surprised! I was not surprised because of how someone heard my small voice in this noisy hall.
I was surprised because I have never seen someone as beautiful as this girl.
I always thought that beautiful girls do not talk to boys like me! However, she talked to me! She has big eyes and red lips...
Ah, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Why is she so small? She is probably not even 5 foot tall! How can someone be this cute! I found myself staring into her eyes.
“Ha ha! Why are you making that surprised face!?" She asked while looking at me.
Huh, why! Why is her sound so gentle?
“I.. I... I am sorry, I didn't expect someone to hear my voice in this n...noisy ha-hall" I replied to her.
“Ha-ha, you were talking to yourself and I was interested in knowing what you were saying. Ha-ha I'm sorry"
“D-don't say s-sorry"
“Ay ayy! By the way, what's your name?" She asked me
“I am Satou Kousei (佐藤 恒星, Meaning: Fixed Star), nice to meet you, w-what's your name?"
“My name is...."
“ALL STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO LEAVE THE HALL AND PLEASE GO TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSES" The Headmaster announced that loudly from the front of the stage.
All students rushed outside from the hall, she waved her hand, and I waved my hand too!
Every step she takes away from me is making my heart beat faster!
What is this feeling? Is this Love?
Nah, how can this be love? We didn't even speak properly.
And I do not believe in first sight love.
But
But why am I feeling like I want to meet her again!
We followed our teacher to the third class. Our classrooms were at the Third Floor.While climbing the endless stairs I was looking for her.
Like a Meerkat, I was lifting my whole body up just to check where she was. That was what I did as we all walked towards our class
There were about 120 students in my department.
“Ah, she is in my class," I thought to myself.
Well guess what!
“We decided to divide this class into two! Sixty students in each class. I will call out the names of 60 students, they will be in class A and the remaining 60 students be in class B" The teacher said that from the front and after saying this, she started calling out names.
Every time the teacher called out a girl's name, I found myself looking at her. Because I wanted to know her “name". So, I was listening carefully.
“Satou Kousei will be in Class A", the teacher called my name!
Of course, I am not surprised; I don't even know what “luck" means! I just wanted her name to be called before mine!
With the disappointment on my mind, I walked towards class A.
Ah, It is kinda making me anxious when I think about the new people I am going to meet.
Will I get friends in this school?
Can I enjoy my school life just like others.
Ah with these unanswered questions, I entered the classroom of class A.
It was loud! Everyone was talking to each other.
Just as I entered, everyone stopped for a while and checked me out.
Ahh, They were staring at me like a predator stares at their prey when I entered that room.
I hate when people stare at me.
I looked towards the class to find an empty seat and I found an empty seat near the window. So I went and sat there.
Unsurprisingly, I found myself looking at the door.
I was hoping and praying to have that girl in my class. I was waiting for her arrival.
One more student left, please let it be her. God, please.
My heart was beating crazily!
The 60th student entered the class and
IT
WAS
NOT
HER!
Life reminded me again that I am not a lucky person.
Ah, The first day of high School and I have one regret, I couldn't grasp her name.
That is how it started, the story about my High School life
