Introduce Yourself

This year, I'll be able to go to school again. I dropped out of school last year. I mean, the stress was getting to me. I couldn't handle that much back then. But now that I'm older, I can safely say that I've matured enough. Steeling myself, I entered my classroom. 2-C. I I arrived quite early today. I'm older than most of my classmates so I figured that I should be a good role model and be an example. I sat by the window, as I always do. I wonder what my classmates and teacher would think of a dropout like me? There's still time to spare before the class starts. It's the first day after all. I waited diligently, looking at the campus grounds as students swarm through the building to go to their classes.

"Ah, good morning." A girl said to me. Waving her hand slowly to see if I was paying attention. "O-oh. Sorry I spaced out." I said. She replied with a smile and carefully placed a bento box on my desk with her other hand. "You see... there's still some time before class. I'm hungry but I made too much this morning. I think I was too excited for the first day that I got carried away. And besides, it's kinda lonely eating by myself. So, wanna share?" The girl says, still smiling as if talking to someone she knows. I look at the box with its cute designs and a name in the middle written in black ink. Maya Yumegami. She opened the lid and a good smell wafted around the room. "She'll be a nice wife." I thought to myself. "Hmm?" She said. Tilting her head in confusion. Did I say that out loud? It's the first day and I'm already doing something strange.

"Ah it's nothing, just smelling your lunch made me hungry as well." I said. Dodging the question in a way I never did before. "Is that so? Then let's eat." The girl said, picking up a rice ball. We ate all of the food inside. Her cooking skill is godlike. I was able to casually talk to her while eating. This must be her lunch. I feel bad for eating it but refusing her would be a decision I'd regret forever. "Now that you're full, why don't you introduce yourself?".
