First Day

Three weeks after the entrance exam, Mika's first day attending U.A. High was about to begin. Mika was so excited to go to U.A. High that she woke up early to wear her new school uniform.

The shirt of her uniform is a white buttoned-up shirt with short sleeves. It came with a red necktie with a yellow button under her folded collar.

The uniform also came with a gray blazer with blue-green stripes on the sleeves near her hands, blue-green straps and yellow buttons on the shoulders, and the front of her jacket had flaps near her neck with blue-green stripes, two yellow buttons, and two pockets.

It also had her summer uniform with a gray vest with blue-green straps and yellow buttons on the shoulders. If the uniform were a guy's uniform, there would be blue-green dress pants.

But, since Mika's uniform is a girl's uniform, she wears a blue-green pleated skirt. It also came with brown shoes and black knee socks. Mika looked at the mirror and did a little twirl with her high school uniform on. Mika looked at her skirt, not wearing one that was short.

If Mika had the option of wearing either skirts or shorts, she would prefer wearing shorts, *This skirt looks short on me.* she thought, *Hopefully, there aren't any perverts in my class.*

Mika walked towards her desk and looked at her school id, her documents, her school schedule, and her homeroom class, Class 1-A, "I wonder if Koda made it into U.A. as well?" she asked herself; she smiled a bit, "I hope he makes it." she said.

Mika heard a knock on her door and turned towards it, "Come in." she said. The door opened, and Mika saw Saburo and Yuma enter her room; they saw her in her school uniform. Saburo smiled, "That uniform looks lovely on you, sweetheart." he said.

Mika blushed a bit and rubbed the back of her neck, "Th-Thank you." she said. Yuma noticed Mika was shaking a bit, "*Are you nervous about going to school, dear?*" she signed. Mika nodded, "A little..." she said, "I'm mostly nervous about how they'll act towards me."

Saburo walked towards Mika and hugged her, "It's alright, dear." he said, "I'm sure you'll have good classmates." Mika smiled and hugged Saburo back, "Thanks, Dad." she said; Yuma smiled and joined the hug.

They let go of Mika, "*I'm assuming you want to go to school early so we won't stop you.*" Yuma signed, smiling, "*Have fun, dear.*"

Mika nodded as she got her id and school bag, "I will see ya later!" she said. Before Mika left, Saburo turned to her, "Don't get swooned by your male classmates." he said.

Mika blushed a bit and turned to Saburo, "Dad!" she shouted. Saburo chuckled, "I'm just saying, you're at the age to-" a book hit his face, making him stop. Yuma smiled with a book in one of her hands and waved, "Thanks, mom." Mika said as she left.

After the hour-long train ride, Mika stood in front of U.A. Mika was nervous, *Are things going to differ from middle school, or are they going to be the same?* she thought.

Mika looked down, *I hope it's different...* she thought, *I don't want to be known for what I did in the past. I want to start a clean slate.* Mika's thoughts stopped when she felt a light tap on her shoulder, "H-Hello Lyoko." she turned around and saw Koji wearing a U.A. uniform.

Mika smiled, "Koda, you got into U.A. too; that's awesome!" she said with excitement. Koji nodded, "To b-be honest, I-I'm r-really surprised th-that they would w-want someone like m-me here." he said, "I-I didn't do m-much."

Mika frowned a bit, "That's not true." she said, making Koji look at her, "You were amazing in the entrance exam; you deserved it just as much as I did." Koji blushed a bit and looked away, "T-Thanks." he said.

Mika walked up the stairs for a bit and turned to Koji, "Come on, we don't want to be late on our first day of school." she said with a smile. Koji nodded, "R-Right." he said as he walked up the stairs and they entered the building.

Mika and Koji walked in the hallways in awkward silence. Mika looked at Koji, "Hey... Koda." she said as she stopped walking. Koji stopped walking and turned to Mika, "I... want to thank you for what you did after the entrance exam." she continued.

Koji jumped a bit and rubbed the back of his neck, "I-It was nothing." he stuttered, "I-I bet y-you would d-do the s-same th-things w-were different." Mika nodded, "You're right, I would." she said, "But, I don't think a stranger would pick another stranger up and carry them to the nurse's office."

Mika rubbed the back of her neck, "And... you saved me in case things got worse." she continued. Mika looked at Koji and smiled, "So... I guess I owe you one." she said. Koji blushed a bit and looked away, "W-Well... wh-when y-you put it l-like that, I-I guess were e-even." he said.

Mika remembered saving Koji from the robots; she giggled a bit, "Yeah... I guess you're right." she said. Mika realized something, "Oh!" she said; she looked to Koji, "I forgot to ask this, but what class are you in?" she asked.

Koji tried to remember and looked at Mika, "I-I believe I-I'm in Class 1-A." he said, "W-Why do you a-ask?" Mika was completely shocked; soon after, she smiled, "You're in Class 1-A?" she said, "I'm in Class 1-A too."

Koji was shocked, "R-Really." he said; Mika nodded as she jumped in place, "This is awesome! We'll be classmates!" she shouted. Out of nowhere, Koji wrapped his arms around Mika, shocking her; he spun in place with her.

When Koji realized what he was doing, he put Mika down instantly and blushed a lot, "I-I'm s-sorry!" he stuttered, "I-I don't k-know wh-what came o-over m-me."

Mika shook her head, "It's okay." she said smiling, "To be honest, I like it when you're happy." Koji's face was red, and he covered it with his hands, "T-Thanks." he stuttered.

Mika giggled a bit and grabbed one of Koji's wrists, making him jump a bit, "Come on, I want to see what our other classmates are like." she said with a cheerful tone.

Koji's face was still red as Mika pulled him to class. Koji looked at Mika's hand, holding his wrist, *Why is she doing this?* he thought, *She just met me at the entrance exam, and she's friendly towards me.*

Koji realized something, *Is this... when a person cares for me.* he thought, *Is that what a friend is?* Koji looked at Mika, *If she wants to be my friend, then... I want to be hers too.* he thought; he smiled slightly and nodded, "R-Right." he said lowly.
