It had been more than two months since I entered high school, yet, this was my first time actually going to school.
As I approached the school, more and more students around me were wearing the same uniform.
Although I had a lot of energy yesterday, walking next to the students like this made me nervous.
I was nervous because some of them might be my classmates.
“Ooh, so this is Seiran High School…”
When I arrived at the school gate, I looked at the school building.
It had no special features, and its exterior looked like a very ordinary high school.
In case you’re wondering, I came to the high school once when I took the entrance exam, but I didn’t get a good look at the school building or anything, so I only had a hazy recollection of it.
Then, I entered the school building like the other students and changed my shoes at the shoe lockers.
Normally, I would just change into the shoes that were left in the shoe locker, but since it was my first day of school, I had brought my shoes from home.
When I took them out of the bag, a student nearby looked at me curiously, which made me feel a little awkward. After that happened, I went to the first-year classroom on the first floor.
“I was in 1-D, I think.”
Walking down the hallway, I looked for my classroom — found it.
I should go into the classroom as soon as possible… But I decided to take a peek inside first.
In the classroom, my classmates were each talking in several groups.
There was a cheerful group, a quiet group, a nerdy group, and a group of people who were probably club mates. It was a common scene in junior high school.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
I muttered to myself over and over again.
From this day forward, I will live my life as myself.
