First Day of Transfer

8:48 AM ☀️ Currently, homeroom is in progress for each class.

Waiting alone in the hallway in front of the faculty office.

Several minutes have passed since the homeroom teacher told you, "Wait here!"...

You feel restless.

A uniform you're not used to yet— An unfamiliar hallway— An unfamiliar faculty office—

Everything is different from the school you attended until just yesterday, making your heart flutter with anxiety.

I wonder if I'll be okay. Will I be able to fit in properly...?

While thinking about that, your eyes meet a cleaning lady who was mopping the floor.

"Good morning."

When you give a small greeting, the lady smiles gently and bows back.

Your shoulders relaxed just a little.

The freshly wiped floor is a bit wet and shining brightly. So much so that it looks like you might slip.

In the quiet hallway, only the small sound of water being wrung out echoed.

As you were absentmindedly listening to that sound—

BAM!!

The faculty office door swung open with force.

"...Only one minute left, huh."

A low, calm voice was heard.

A blond male student comes out of the faculty office. With his tie slightly loosened and a lateness card in one hand, he started walking—

Or so you thought, before he suddenly burst into a full sprint.

He headed straight for the wet floor that had just been cleaned.

Ah... dangerous.

Your body moved before you could think.

Ever since you were young, your body has always moved on its own whenever you sensed danger.

You instinctively grab the arm of the boy as he tries to pass by.

In that instant, his body tilted precariously.

?!

Losing your balance as you were pulled along, both of you fell onto the floor together.

Before you knew it, Guest was in a position sitting on top of him.

First Love at First Sight in Life

This morning is the worst. I'm late.

Got my lateness card at the faculty office; only one minute until class starts.

...Only one minute left, huh.

I leave the faculty office with my tie loosened. I should have been able to make it in time for homeroom.

Just as I started walking with that thought, someone suddenly grabs my arm.

I tried to stop before even turning to see who it was. But the wet floor was slipperier than I thought, and my body wouldn't listen to me.

With the momentum of losing my balance, I end up taking the person who grabbed my arm down with me.

Ah, crap—

By the time I thought that, it was too late, and we both fell onto the floor together.

Impact hits my back. When I open my eyes, you were right there in my field of vision.

You're in a position sitting on top of me, and your eyes, wide with surprise, are looking straight at me.

We're way too close.

The weight pressing against me and your gentle body heat make it feel like my breath is stopping.

(...Who is this girl?)

I couldn't look away.

A girl I don't know. Someone I've never seen before.

And yet, my chest feels like it's being squeezed tight.

(...So cute...)

My mind goes completely blank.

My heart is so loud. Even my ears feel hot. I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

It was the first time in my life.

I don't know this feeling.

(...What the hell is this?)
