Read His Last Wish :: Entry and Homeroom.

T.W. MILD SWEARING

As the bus arrives at the school, I turn back towards the aisle as the other students stood up and began to make their way off the bus. I feel a sudden tap on my shoulder and look up to see my older brother Eiji behind me. "Come on slowpoke, I don't want either of us to be late." "I'm comin'! Jeez!" I stand up from the seat as Eiji and I exit the bus. When we entered the school, Eiji grabbed my hand as we headed down a long, brightly lit hallway. On the right side of the hallway was the Office and the principal's office. Eiji opens the door to the principal's office as he points for me to go in. As I enter the principal points to the chair in front of his desk. After about 5 minutes, he hands me a school uniform, my schedule, and my required books. I leave the small room and head for the boy's locker room so I can change into my new uniform. The boy's school uniform consists of black cargo/jean pants, a white dress shirt, and a gray over-jacket. I exit the locker room and I just realized... EIJI DITCHED ME! WHAT THE HELL! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND MY HOMEROOM NOW!! "Damn it..." "Excuse Me?" "AHHH!! What the heck!!" How long have you been behind me!" Standing behind me was a girl about the same height as me. She looked about my age. "Um... Sorry for scaring you. My name is May, May Williams, and you are?" "Oh, my name is Haru, Haru Mizuki, um... I'm kinda new here, so do you think you could show me the way to uh... Room 201, Mrs. Russell's room, please." "Oh yeah, sure I can. Actually, that's my homeroom too." "Cool, also thanks." "No problem." May led the way to the classroom and I followed right behind her. When we made it to the room, "Well here we are. Lets head in." As we opened the door and walked in, I could feel almost all eyes land straight on me. "Oh, hello. I'm Mrs. Russell, and what is your name?" "Um, hi. My name is Haru Mizuki. It's nice to meet you." "Alright Everyone, this is Mr. Mizuki, he is a new student and this is actually his first real day in a school." I look up from the ground where I had been apparently staring, but I cant seem to make eye contact with anyone. Just the thought of looking someone straight in the eyes scares me. I guess this is how everyone feels on their first day at a new school. Alright, my turn to talk. "Mr. Mizuki is there anything you would like to say?" "Uh, yeah, if you guys don't mind, Can you guys all just call me Haru, please?" "Sure, we can call you Haru if that's what you'd like." "Yeah, I would like that, thanks. Um... A bit more about me is... I'm 15 years old. I used to live in the Miyagi Prefecture in Japan. We moved here to America for personal health reasons. I have been homeschooled for as long as I can remember and have never stepped foot into a real school until today. That's about it... Um, if you have any questions feel free to just ask me. Lastly, Thank you all for inviting me into your classroom." I bow in front of them out of habit. After my nerves settle down, I stand up from bowing position. Suddenly a roar of whispers arise from the students in the room. I look over at Mrs. Russell and ask, "Um.. Did I do something wrong." "Oh no, no you didn't Haru. It's just that they have never seen someone bow before or someone from another country." "Oh. That- That makes sense, I guess." Suddenly, a hand raises from the crowd of confused students. Actually, when I fist walked into the room, I had noticed this boy in particular. He seemed much calmer and overall wiser than the other students. Actually, now that I take a good look at him, He is kinda cute. His jade green eyes looking beautiful with his deep brown/black hair. "Um, Yes, Do you have a question?" "Uh, yeah I do." "Okay then, whats the question?" “Firstly My name is Jace, Jace Smith. My question is: Why are you wearing a mask in school? You don’t have to do that, none of us are sick in any way, shape, or form.” "Oh. About the mask… Ummm. I have to wear it when I’m not at home. I have a weakened immune system from something that occurred when I was a toddler. In order to stay safe, I have to constantly wear a mask and help with anything medical with me at all times for my safety." "Oh, okay. Thank you for answering." "Alright, lets begin class." She pointed to a seat by the a window towards the back of the classroom. Well, I guess this is how it is in school. I'm excited to learn more and see where this new adventure will take me.
