Once the first break came, I was immediately surrounded by my classmates.

I already know who they are. The first wave was Okamoto-san and Fujisaki-san. These girls were both bright and lively mood makers.

And now, my trial begins.

"I'm Azusa Okamoto."

"I'm Fujisaki Mai."

And they immediately introduced themselves- – –

"If you have any questions or problems, you can tell me any of that, okay?"

"Thank you, Okamoto-san, Fujisaki-san."

"Mai is fine."

"Also call me, Azuchi."

Our surroundings sort of got quiet as our conversation began. 

The two of them who are lively and sociable, have the first rights to speak to the transfer student.

However I don't know how to get along with them, I just know they are important. That was the social hierarchy of the class.

For example, the quiet kids just were silent and listened in. One example was a braided glasses girl sitting in the front row. Her name was Watanabe-san, she really likes books and has a very modest personality. Two years ago she actually transferred from Tokyo. She is one of the quiet ones and is obviously listening to my interactions with Okamoto-san and Fujisaki-san.

If anything it symbolizes the delicate power relationship between girls. There is no obvious or insidious bullying, but the human relationships are built like glasswork.

"What should I call Kitaharsan."

"Y-Yukiya is fine."

"Okay then, Yukiychan."

"Hey, Yukiychan. Did you take part in any club activities? What was it?"

"U,Uh yeah. Soft ten- – ."

"I am in track and field club, I recommend it."

"I-Is that so?"

"Ah, the volleyball team is good. The senpais are also nice."

"I see. . ."

"Yukiychan used to play soft tennis."

Then to the rescue, Natsumi-chan came.

"Eh, soft tennis."

. . .5 minutes later. . .

(I-It doesn't end. . .)

"So, there is a snow festival next week. Let's go together with Yukiychan! There are snow sculptures and skating rinks, and a ton more!"

"Hyosei's Snow Festival is a lot of fun. I think you'll love it."

It's like a machine gun of words.

"Heh, that's right. . .It looks fun, I'd love to go."

I already know a ton about the festival, because my father is in the committee for the festival, and I often help in the setup.

"Yatta, well, Yukiychan. Let's have a welcoming party for you.- – -"

More people joined in "I couldn't help but overhear, but can I go as well? Is that alright?"

Can we go as well? Oh, me too.- – -More and more people got involved. 

Most of the class in fact.

"Okay, let' all go together."

They all agreed.

The chime of the bell came signalling the end of break, and the excited students went back to their seats.

"Good work, Yukiychan."

When I returned to my seat and sat down, Natsumi-chan's voice came from behind.

She was watching whether or not I could get along with the other girls. Only occasionally dispatching a rescue ship for me- – -.

After the second period, the moderately long 20 min recess came.

During that there were some students who had to work on things like committee, but of course because I just transferred I didn't have anything to do.

It was at that time, a boy who wasn't there when the conversational mess happened appeared.

"Kitaharsan, do you perhaps know this manga? I'll lend it to you if you want. It's very interesting."

The boy recommended me a fighting shounen manga that I have already read. The story itself was actually pretty dark, and unfortunately I didn't really enjoy it. That being said, it is obviously prohibited to bring manga to school.

"Eh? T-Thank you- – -But I've already read it."

"Really? Girls rarely read these, but do you like mangas a lot?"

"Eh? Uh, Y-Yeah."

"Then do you play games?"

"Yeah, just a little. I play them at Tomonori's hous- Aah."

I instantly noticed my slip up.

"Eh? My house?"

Tomonori was right next to us, and he immediately responded.

"Ah, I mean, I was taught by Yukiya(♂), who was good friends with Saeki-kun."

I made a lame excuse. . .Tomonori simply tilted his head, but accepted it nonetheless.

"Fu, that was dangerous. . ."

Crap. I'm way too comfortable talking when it's just boys. 

"Hey? Is it true you haven't ever been confessed to?"

"Y-Yeah?"

That discussion came up way earlier.

"If it's true you aren't dating anybody, then I wonder if I should post my candidacy then?"

"Uh, w-what. . ?"

He was smiling but his eyes looked serious- – –

"Idiot don't cause trouble for Kitaharsan. Don't worry about what this idiot is talking about."

This time, Tomonori came to my rescue.

"Ahahahaha."

Then the laughter in the air solidified that it was a joke.

I could feel the girls listening to my interactions between the boys and me.

"Heh, it's amazing how the transfer student gets along with them so fast."

"Hey, Yukiychan. Would you like me to show you around the school now? I did promise you."

I suddenly realized Natsumi-chan was here.

She peeled me off from the conversation with the boys, and blocked the girls from flocking to my desk.

"Let's go."

"Ah, okay."

She pulled my arm, and stood me up from my chair.

"Ah, Natsumi, you sly. I was thinking about asking her."

"Fufu, well I promised first."

One of the girls interjected when, but it was clear that my attention was going to be monopolized by Natsumi-chan.

After all, in the hierarchy of our class. Natsumi-chan is the top mood maker, and the leader.

Phew, another one done. I am actually getting these done quickly now. Also Yukiya sucks at this. I'm sure both of her friends know by now. And just by attitude and how she is treating her, I'm sure Natsumi-chan is simply watching her, knowing it's the real Yukiya. But so far, I am really enjoying the school arc.

Next chapter in 2-3 days. Probably 2 at the rate I have been going.
