Six months had passed since Mizuha embarked on her journey, and the growth she had experienced was truly remarkable. Her artistic talents had gained recognition, a testament to her unwavering dedication and resilience. As spring arrived, signaling the start of their second year of high school, Mizuha approached the class assignment board with eager anticipation.
“I found it!” Mizuha exclaimed, her voice filled with sheer joy. Her finger traced the letters that spelled out her name under class 2A. Relief washed over her, knowing that she would be surrounded by familiar faces.
Just then, Shimizu, Zul, and Elly arrived, their smiles mirroring Mizuha’s delight. They gathered around her, eagerly awaiting the news.
“Mizuha, did you find your name?” Shimizu asked, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Mizuha beamed at her friends. “Yes! I’m in class 2A!” she exclaimed.
Mizuha couldn’t help but wonder if her friends had been assigned to the same class. “What about all of you guys?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Shimizu nodded, her smile widening. “We’re all in class 2A, including Hikaru too,” she confirmed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Zul and Elly nodded in agreement; their faces filled with joy. “We get to continue our journey together,” Zul remarked, his voice filled with quiet enthusiasm.
Mizuha’s heart swelled with gratitude and a profound sense of belonging. To have her friends by her side once again meant the world to her. They had shared countless memories and supported each other through thick and thin, and now they had the opportunity to create even more unforgettable moments together.
As they made their way toward their new classroom, Mizuha couldn’t help but reflect on the incredible bond they had formed. Their friendship had grown stronger over the past year, and she knew that it would continue to flourish in the days to come.
With excitement building, Elly invited Mizuha and their friends to enter their new class. As they made their way through the bustling hallways, Mizuha happened to run into Akemi, who seemed equally thrilled about the new school year.
“Mizuha!” Akemi called out, a smile lighting up her face. “Which class were you assigned to?”
Mizuha’s eyes sparkled as she replied, “I’m in class 2A!”
Akemi’s expression shifted ever so slightly, and her smile faltered for a moment. “Oh, that’s great,” she said, trying to mask her disappointment. “I’ve been assigned to class 2B.”
Mizuha’s heart skipped a beat at Akemi’s words, her hope for them to be classmates dashed. She had imagined the fun they would have together, sharing laughter and supporting each other through the challenges of high school.
“Oh,” Mizuha replied, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. “I was really hoping we would be in the same class this year.”
Akemi sighed softly, understanding Mizuha’s disappointment. “I know, Mizuha. I was hoping the same thing too. But don’t worry, we can still hang out during breaks and after school.” After that, Akemi left for her new classroom, and Mizuha and her friends went to theirs.
Joined by her friends Shimizu, Elly, Hikaru, and Zul, Mizuha’s excitement multiplied. The bond they had formed during their first year grew stronger, and they were ready to continue their journey together. Stepping into their new classroom, they settled into their seats, their anticipation filling the air with animated chatter.
In the midst of their conversation, Hikaru approached Mizuha with warmth in his eyes. He couldn’t contain his excitement and exclaimed, “Mizuha, it’s great to see you! I’m so glad we’re in the same class this year.”
Mizuha smiled, happy to see Hikaru. “Hikaru, I’m thrilled too! It’s going to be a fantastic year with you by my side.” Their exchange filled the air with a sense of camaraderie, setting a positive tone for the days to come.
In the classroom, Mizuha's seat was located beside the window, giving her a clear view of the outside world. Right beside her was Hikaru, her boyfriend, offering constant support and a comforting presence.
In front of Mizuha sat Zul, known for his calm and silent nature. Shimizu occupied the seat behind Mizuha, radiating positivity and adding a vibrant energy to the group. Elly took the seat next to Zul, completing the close circle of friends.
The seat placement turned out to be fortunate for them, as they were pleasantly surprised to find themselves seated next to their closest friends. It felt like a fortunate coincidence that they could be near each other, fostering a strong sense of unity and camaraderie within the class.
Being in such proximity allowed them to easily communicate, share laughter, and provide support whenever needed.
The close seating arrangement acted as a catalyst for deeper friendships, as they engaged in conversations, helped each other out, and created memories together throughout their high school journey.
Their lighthearted moment was interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Akihiko, their homeroom teacher. This was the second time Mizuha had Mr. Akihiko as her homeroom teacher. Silence fell over the room as Mr. Akihiko commanded their attention, officially commencing their first homeroom class of the new school year. With a confident yet approachable demeanor, he began by seeking nominations for the positions of Class Leader and Vice Class Leader.
A female classmate, Sakura, raised her hand and suggested, “I think Hikaru would make an excellent Class Leader. He’s responsible, dependable, and always brings a positive energy to the class.”
The class nodded in agreement, acknowledging Hikaru’s qualities. Mr. Akihiko asked for a show of hands to confirm, and with unanimous agreement, Hikaru was elected as the Class Leader.
Hikaru, taken aback by the support, thanked everyone with a humble smile. “I’m honored to be chosen as your Class Leader. I promise to do my best to lead our class with integrity and create an environment where we can all thrive.”
The position of Vice Class Leader remained open until Shimizu stepped forward and volunteered herself. “If it’s alright, I would like to volunteer as the Vice Class Leader,” she said, her voice filled with determination. The class immediately expressed their support, recognizing Shimizu’s dedication and ability to bring people together. Mr. Akihiko smiled and officially announced, “Hikaru will be our Class Leader, and Shimizu will be our Vice Class Leader.”
Mizuha and the rest of the class eagerly listened, ready to embark on a fresh academic journey under their newly elected leaders. Excitement and anticipation filled the room as they braced themselves for the challenges and adventures that awaited them.
