“Good Morning class, I’d be happy to announce that you’ll be having a new classmate joining us.” The teacher smiled at the whole class. “She’s actually an exchange student.” And with that she gestured the new student to come in.
A girl went inside looking down on the ground from both nervousness and embarrassment, maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.
She stopped beside her new sensei as she wrote something on the board. ‘Serenity Faith Trinidad’ “Okay, so Serenity here will be joining us for 3 months so be nice to her.”
The girl still looked down unable to look at her new classmates.
“Don’t be shy you’re now part of the family.”
The girl nodded as she looked at her teacher on the eyes.
“Please introduce yourself properly so the class will get to know you better.”
She nodded before heaving a sigh and smiled.
“Konnichiwa, Trinidad Serenity Faith desu” she started. “demo you can call me Seri for short.”
She looked at the window in front of her so she wouldn’t get nervous “I’m from the Philippines, 17 years old and. . .” she thought of something. “I like the color blue?”
She made a face not sure if that was even needed to be told, she could hear giggles from her classmates. “I hope we could all be friends, dozo yoroshiku” she bowed.
She glanced at her teacher whom only smiled at her. “So now, I would like it if someone could show Ms. Trinidad around.” Her teacher looked around for someone and found a girl raising her hand.
“Okay, Saito-san would you want the task?
The girl nodded with an eager smile.
“Well then, Trinidad-san please take the seat beside her.”
The new girl smiled as she thanked her teacher as soon as she put her bag down on her desk, she pulled the chair and sat down.
“Hi there, Saito, Shizuna desu.” She smiled as she gestured her hand.
“Nice to meet you” Serenity said while shaking it.
“Wow, your hand’s cold”
“Yeah, I was kind a nervous.”
“Why? We won’t eat you so don’t worry.”
Serenity grinned. “Yeah, I know. I wouldn’t taste good anyway.”
Shizuna laughed at her joke. “You’re not really that shy, are you?”
“Who said I was shy? I was nervous dude.”
The two laughed lightly as their teacher continued her lecture.
“We better listen.” Shizuna smiled as serenity nodded in agreement.
