Welp thats the end of that! I put my phone in my bag where no one can take it and started making my way towards the quad. Im walking pretty fast so that way I can make the most out of my lunchtime because im willing to bet that ill be bombarded with lots of questions =-=

Location:
School quad

i spotted saaya and rimi along with two other familiar girls. As i made my approach saaya spotted me

Saaya: hey over here! she yeld while
Waving at me.

Soon after the other girls started to notice me and i also noticed the girl with cat hair and the blonde girl from this mornings reception.

Rimi: ah L/N-san! She said a bit timidly

Kasumi: oooooh L/N! Hiya I didnt know were joining us!! She said. Jeez you still got energy even at this time =-=

Arisa: gya! I didnt know you were gonna be joining us today!

Saaya: now now arisa dont be rude Y/N come sit here. I took a seat between Saaya and Rimi as I was more familiar with those two.

???: ooooo a new comer! Welcome, welcome!
Said the girl with long black hair said

Y/N: thank you for having me I said trying to be polite.

Saaya then offered me some bread. I took a cream cheese croissant and ate it with my other sausage bun that I had saved for lunch. As we were eating we started getting a bit comfortable and began to talk and introduce myself. Kinda gave them the same spiel as my class intro. But the one that caught their interest was music.

Y/N: umm hey you guys mind telling me a bit more about yourselves? I asked. Even though I know their names and the fact Rimi and Saaya are in my class im curious to know more about these guys.

Kasumi: ill start! My name is kasumi toyama! And play the guitar! I have a guitar called Random Star I hope we can make memories that are kira kira doki doki!

Umm... what i did not understand anything she said at all other than the fact that she plays guitar which i was more interested at that fact

Arisa: Im sorry if you can understand her kasumi-nese but im Arisa Ichigaya I play keyboard. Its nice to meet you she said. Ayeee anothee piano player neat!

Kasumi: shes also into bonsai trees and will sometimed talk to them as if they were live she added

Arisa: KASUMI! she yelled all red in the face and embarrassed
DONT TALK ABOUT IT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT!

kasumi: well its true though~ she said teasingly

We all then laughed while Arisa just sat and stuffed her face with more food to hide her face.

???: anyways my moving on im tae hanazono but my friends call me O-Tae, I too am a guitarist and I love my boyfriend she said

Y/N: awee thats so sweet I think its nice that you love your-

O-tae: yeah take a look isnt he cute she said interrupting me. She pulled up a picture of her "boyfriend" and it wasnt what i expected =-= it was a photo of an oddly colored eyed rabbit.

Y/N: oh thats what you ment...=-= i said. I literally thought it was an actual boy

O-Tae: what do you mean? Oddie is a boy

Oh my lord this girls a bloody airhead

Y/N: not what I ment but okay I said =-=

Arisa: yeahh O-tae likes to call oddie here her "boyfriend" and it throws people off alot

Y/N: yeah I can see that I retorted

Saaya: well you already know me but my name is saaya yamabuki. My family owns a bakery and I play the drums

Y/N: Oh nice! I said. I think me and her are gonna be good friends considering the fact Ive been in the drumming mood lately!

Rimi: im ushigomi rimi i play bass and umm what else...oh I like coronets the ones that saaya makes are incredibly good!

Aweee that what so cute.
I thought myself

Wait a minute... I noticed something. While these girls were not only introducing themselves but they also stated the fact that they play an instrument...

Y/N: well girls its nice to know you all but I wonder, the way you guys introduced yourself, and the instruments you guys play, are you guys in a band perhaps? I wondered because the way it sounded when they stated their instruments it sounded like they could fill a band.

Kasumi: we are she said

Everyone then look to one another

Kasumi: we are-

Everyone: Poppin Party! They all said in unison. So mu hunch was right. They are a band.

Y/N: yooo thats really cool! I said

Saaya: yeah i thought youd caught on to us based on how we ontroduced ourselves

Rimi: mmhm

Y/N: yeah no thats so cool that you guys are a band! At first glance I wouldnt know haha

Kasumi: we aim to make lots of sparking heart pounding preformances

Again with the kira kira doki doki theme

Y/N: I see one I'd like to see you preform

Arisa: yeah speaking which kasumi?

Kasumi: hmm?

Arisa: when is our next preformance

Kasumi: she just shrugged

Arisa: of course

O-Tae: I wanna preform too

Jeez where were you this entire time woman

Saaya: we dont know when we'll preform next

Y/N: Awe thats a shame let me know when im curious to hear you guys preform

Kasumi: sure

Arisa: okay

O-tae: yeahhh

Rimi: yeah!

Saaya: most definitely!

They all said individually. With that being said the lunch bell rang and we all
Parted ways. Since me rimi and saaya were in the same class we all walked together. Again class was class since it was only the first semester it was only teachers giving out rubrics and class expectations and lesson plans

Hanasakigawa
After school

Finally school finally ended! I said my goodbyes to Rimi and Saaya got my stuff out of my locker and started making my way towards my getabako (げたばこ)

(translation - shoe box if you watch anime you would know where it is)

I was walking pretty expeditiously because my desires to walk and listen to music is really high right now. I turned the corner only to bump into someone out of reflex, before she could fall back any further, I grabbed her hand and slighter pulled her to the upright position so that she could gain balance immediately. I then realized it was the school council president

Y/N: hey are you okay?

Rinko: yeah...im fine...thanks for that she said in her usual soft spoken voice

She looked up at me and then looked down only to realize that i was holding her hand. She began to turn red from thay fact and so i let go

Y/N: oh um sorry for that

She just looked down nodding her head slightly. It grew silent for a second and it was really awkward. I didnt want to leave her just yet and not like this...shit I gotta do something. So I tried to make some conversation to cover the awkwardness

Y/N: hey I gotta question

Rinko: y-yes?

Y/N: I realized something, you dont seem like the extroverted type. I can tell by your speech this morning. You were studdering like crazy and you looked like you were about to pass out at any second

She got really really red after I pointed that out

Y/N: I wonder... why would you put yourself in a position like that despite your own nature? I asked

Things grew silent again...thinking about what I just said I think i mightve crossed the line a bit...Crap was that too rude? Was I too direct? Maybe I should back out now for her sake I thought.

Y/N: hey I-

Rinko: Its because...its because I...want...
She then looked up to me. Its because I want to be better then what I am now!

Wow that fire in than answer, i felt that

Rinko: im not confident, or out going, and I know...I know im not one to interact directly with others...but I wanna change that...I want...I want to be better than what I am now.
..I  want to become something more that what I am now...its really hard...and I have days where I want to quit and give up...but I want to keep fighting...I cant give up... someday I want to be someone whos reliable someone you can depend on..

Huh wow...I barley know this girl and its already getting personal but somehow what she said resonates with me...in a way were both the same. Were both fighting for change within ourselves. Shes fighting to become a better person despite her shy and introverted nature where as im fighting to restore my blackened heart and gain something Ive never had the chance to get which was a normal life outside the order despite being an Assassin...Granted what shes fighting for is small to me but big for her and I can really respect that alot. And its good she realized this now and acted upon it early than exploding on the path of self-hatred like I did...but even so.
...

Y/N: Pfft hahahahhahha! I started to laugh

Rinko: Umm...please excuse me if I got carried away.

Y/N: No don't get the wrong idea its just that I  just barely met you and well were already getting personal like that Im sorry!

Rinko: o-oh I see...you are right that is a bit funny...

She then let out a small smile

Y/N: hey honestly i feel you I have my own battles to fight as well but just know that I really respect what youre doing. A word of advice. Theres gonna be days where its gonna be like youre being held down like your heart is a rock and its sinking and that some days it can gets so tough

I then approached closer to her and put my hand on her shoulder and then looked her in the eye. Because what I want to say is something that be of encouragement

Y/N: but just like the eclipse thats in the sky , you can rise above. You can change you arent set in stone and well theres also going to be times where youre just wading through your mistakes but no matter what you gotta hold on, realize this, that theres also people out there fighting and that they fall as well so just crawl out that fear and dont give up because there are others who are gonna struggle along side  you. Just by you steping up and becoming  student council I can tell you are already taking bigger steps to become who you want to be.

Rinko: Actually...I was more forced into the position...I never actually wanted to become the student council president...

Y/N: So? You gave in and and accepted it right? It maybe forced on to you but you still took it. You could've given it to anyone else yet here you are and yes I'm aware that it's only the first day you had a whole summer break to give it yet you didnt. By you still being here shows that youre resolved to go forward am i wrong?

Rinko: I guess...youre right...

Y/N: yeah! So let your voice be heard! Let your fire burn! Even if the candles burned at both ends and theres nothing left you still end up with a flame that burns bright! Go and get it girl!

I left it at than and began walking away

Rinko: umm...excuse me...

Y/N:hmm?

Rinko: I never got your name...

Y/N: oh its L/N, L/N Y/N!

Rinko: I see...even though we just met those words really means alot...thank you so much...for giving me such nice words despite being strangers...

Y/N: no problem, I just hope that you find encouragement in what say and that youll let these words last forever.

Without looking back I continued walking happily that I was able to bring something positive to someone in need in a safe and constructive manner... without someone being at the end of a blade.

Outside hanasakigawa
After school hours

Finally im out of school. Walking towards the gate, I plopped in my headphones and began to ignore the world around me. Ahh yess after a boring day of class some EDM is what I  need!

I walked out the gate and turned the corner and as my luck would have it...I bumped into someone i did not want to see today

Sayo: Ahem do you mind explaining to me how you obtained that device youre currently holding?

Y/N: aw shit...

To be continued...
