Kiki's POV

It was my first day at aoba johsai. I put on my backpack knowing it'd be as heavy as it's always been. I didn't even bother to check if everything was neat and if my bag was clean. I needed to create a good impression on my first day of high school, at least that's what everyone told me and I knew this wasn't the right way to do it either. But I didn't really care about impressions because I knew most impressions were fake.

I head out to my breakfast table and saw my mom staring at me as if I was a lost puppy I turned to face my sister as if to ask what's wrong with her. She just shrugged. My sister had been going to aoba johsai as well. But now she had graduated and was a college student. I sat down and picked up a piece of toast and ate it whole. No I wasn't an animal. I think. My sister looked at me with wide eyes as if hiding a laugh as she usually did when I did that.

I had no idea how my new school would be. It seemed interesting and had a good rep for sports. That was one thing I enjoyed. I was just considering my options when my sister said, "kira, you'll be late! I believe your breakfast is done?"
"Yahyah I'm going! gosh woman you really wanna get rid of me, huh!", I responded. My mom burst into a sob, "gah! Kira! You grew so fast at least give your mother a hug and dear you better be careful at school". That's when my sister completely lost it and started laughing. Good. I almost thought she'd start crying too.

It was a quiet and fast walk to aoba johsai. It wasn't that far from my house. Once I entered I got this weird feeling. This feeling, it made me feel like I belonged here and that there would be many people here right beside me to go through everything I did. And that made me feel ready for whatever came at me.
