First Steps
Jasper's P.O.V
" Uhm...excuse me?"
I look at the source of that voice and there she is, the same person that i bumped with earlier.
"Oh hi." I replied to the girl that i bumped earlier.
"We're in the same class huh...sorry from earlier " She said, flustered.
I dont know what reply. Shes the one I bumped earlier.
" No worries, are you okay though? You didnt get hurt? " I asked her out of concern.
" I'm fine ,thanks for the concern." She replied.
This is so akward, I dont know what to discuss with her.
"I'll just go to the restroom" She said hurriedly going out.
"Sure."

Aurora's P.O.V
I TALKED TO HIM! but it's embarrassing to ask at first. I thought he'll just ignore me.
Just calm down Aury, it's normal to be embarrassed and feel akward with him. It's your first time to talk to him,calm down!!
--
After I calmed myself down after that akward exchange, I returned to the classroom and it's perfect timing because the teacher just arrived.
"Good Morning class, I will be your class adviser for the whole year. Now I just wanna lay some rules for the class. It's quite simple if you ask me. "
She picked up a marker and wrote something on the board.
Respect Begets Respect.
"Now class,the quote I wrote here on the board is a quote that I heard from my teacher. the meaning of this is pretty simple. If you respect someone, sooner or later they will repay you with respect. However, if you disrespect someone, don't be surprised if one day,someone will disrepect you.Remember that everyday. "
It does make sense if you ask me, no wonder teacher upholds the quote. it reminded a valueble lesson.
" Now that's out of the way, I want to know each one of you. So we're having "Introduce yourself! State your name,age hobbies and what you look forward to your high school life. It can be anything from good grades or maybe a special someone! Make your imagination run wild! "
as we heard that from our teacher, I feel excited, this is the chance to know more people. I cant say the same to the whole room and rest of the classmates were they felt agitated, especially the boy next to me. He seems to be not fond of introductions like this.

Jasper's P.O.V
this is one of the reasons why I hate beginning of a school year; Introducing ourselves.
"Ok since that's out of the way, I want to start with the boy at the back,next to the window." The teacher said,pointing to me.
Chills run through my spine because I was called first. I particularly dont like this part of the year;, let alone being the first one to be called.
"M-me? "
"Yes you,who else is in the back and near the window? now stand up and introduce yourself. "
I got no choice but to oblige. On the bright side I can sit out the rest without that feeling that I'm next.
" Hello everyone, I'm Jasper Hawthorne. 15 years old. I graduated elementary on this school. I'm usually at home reading manga and watching anime. I don't usually expect on things as I believe it's unnecessary especially if it ended up not satisfying my expectations but hopefully we can get along. " I kept my introduction short but sweet,just enough for people to know me.
Oh thank god thats over, hopefully no questions will be-
" So you watch anime and read manga. I too was a fan of that, what are your reading and watching now? " The teacher asked.
Teachet seriously need to ask that? Good grief.
" Uhm...I'm into watching Frieren right now and I'm finding a manga that will get my attention and read it. " I replied to the teacher's question.
"Ok that's good, thank you for introducing yourself Jasper,Next Please."
Oh thank god it's done, I wonder who's this next to me though

Aurora's P.O.V
Jasper? oh that's a good name. So he watches anime and graduated on this school huh. I wonder if he could show me around.
"Next please. " The teacher looked at me.
Oh right that's me!
"Hello everyone! My name is Aurora Garcia! you can call me Aury. I'm 14 years old and I came from the province. I usually play sports such as Tennis and Badminton on my free time and I hope we could get along! "
" Oh you came from the province Aurora? May we know why you came here? " The teacher asked.
"That's because of my parents and I want to start anew! not that I dislike living in the province, I want to meet new friends and learn to live on both the city and on province! " I replied enthusiastically.
"That's good to hear Aurora! thank you for that wonderful introduction,you may sit down."
"Thank you!"
Well I'm quite relieved that I'm finished now, I'll look forward to this new chapter of my life!

Jasper's P.O.V
Aurora huh, and she's younger than me. She also mentioned that she came from the province. Not gonna lie I would like to experience life there. I assume its quiet and peaceful.
...
All introductions are down before we know it, The teacher mentioned everything about the school; such as the policies. I didn't bothered to listen because I listened to that for atleast a dozen times now. I noticed Aurora is rather enthusiastic while listening, probably because she is hearing it for the first time. Maybe rules of her elementary on the province are different from ours. I wont blame her though.
After a grueling an hour or two of listening to things I know, lunch break is here. I received a message from Ollie that their Orientation is still not done yet though.
"Wait for us in the cafeteria,Our orientation isn't done yet unfortunately:( -Ollie"
"Ok, hurry up."
"You expect me to tell that to our teacher? >:(
-Ollie"
"Fine I'll wait."
"Thanks :) "
To be honest I still have no idea how the heck he doesn't get caught texting on class. Oh well, I guess he's that good at hiding.
" Uhm...Jasper right? " A girl asked me on my back.
I turned around and checked who said that. It was Aurora.
" Yes?"
" Aren't you gonna eat? wanna eat together?"
Wait, is she inviting me to eat with her?
" Uhm, I'm good. Thank you for the invitation though "
" Okay, can you show me where is the cafeteria though? " She asked.
So that's why he asked me.She doesn't know where the cafeteria...
" Alright, I'll lead you to it."
" Thanks!"
