XXXXIt was a beautiful morning as far as Noa is concerned. She was in her school uniform, her school bag in hand, with her golden locks flowing behind her freely. She was quite a sight really, especially her features showcase her foreign blood. She was enjoying the peaceful walk towards school as Sakura trees lined up the pathway. The petals fluttering across the breeze like they were dancing to a tune only they could hear. The sight was enough to put a smile on her face as her blue eyes twinkled in delight similar to a child. The same scenery could be found in the big city at the parks, but in the countryside, there's just something magical. From that word alone, her imagination would soar to different facets. She couldn't help but daydreamed a little bit and if she could hum, she would have.

XXXX"Meow..."

XXXXThat sound alerted her as she looked at her feet and found a stray cat looking up at her. Her smile stretched as it reached to her eyes. She lowered herself to the ground and reached out her hand. The cat smelled her fingers for a bit before rubbing its face on it in an affectionate manner. She then patted its head lovingly as her face lit up as she remembered something. She gestured for the cat to wait as she rummaged through her bag. She remembered she had packed some tuna sandwiches. Her eyes widened in joy as she found what she was looking for and shared it with the cat who was happy with it. She watched the cat for a while before hearing some students calling her name. She raised her head to look and waved at her classmates who greeted her morning and then...

XXXX"Hey Noa-chan! You might be late again!"

XXXXHearing that, she quickly patted the cat's head and then jumped to her feet. She remembered that it was the first day of school. She can't be late especially when it would be her first day in her new class. She had planned to change her rather spacing-out moment and be more responsible, but, hey, it's a little bit hard. It was then that her leisurely walk turned into that of a sprint. People who are already used to Noa's late antics couldn't help but wish her good luck while others find humor in it. She had been living in Onimura for a year now. She wasn't that opposed to the idea of moving in here when it was said by her father. It was a way for them to begin a new chapter in life with still a link with the old one. Her mother was actually the one who wanted to move here back then... back when she was still alive.

XXXXShe was able to reach the school and still have some time to spare. This made her very happy as she looked at her wristwatch. She clapped both of her hands in joy while even jumping a bit. Her smile was so angelic and bright at that point, where some male students were blushing at her. Others looked at her funny while giving side comments, like congratulations, and nice going. She smiled at them without any hint of sarcasm. They were actually her classmates and her friends. She was rather pleased that her effort made it through. It was rather easy for her to adapt to her new hometown even when she was technically the new student just last year.

XXXXShe took a deep breath and combed her hair a bit. It might be a bit messy because of her rush. She was now accompanied by her classmates last year. They were talking about various things and particularly the news of a new transfer student. One asked her if she felt peeved since her reign as new student would be taken by someone else. Noa shook her head and then took out her small note pad and her pen. "Not really, I'm rather excited to see what the new student is like!" She wrote as she showed it to them happily. That's when another spoke. "It seems you got your wish, Noa-chan. There's the new kid." Her eyes landed on a black-haired girl being pointed at. The girl was surrounded by some boys. If she remembered correctly, they were from Class 2, the class she was going to be a part of from now on.

XXXXSomehow, she felt that this year would be a bit different than the last one, but that was just her feeling after all.
