Walking on the side of the road in the scorching hot afternoon sun, I felt the heat radiating off the pavement and the sweat dripping down my face. My shirt was soaked with perspiration, and I could feel the moisture evaporating from my skin. The salty breeze blew by, carrying with it the scent of the sea, and I felt a sense of peace and tranquility. I sit on the sand, the sound of the waves washing over me. The sun is warm on my skin, I close my eyes and breathe in the fresh, salty air. My muscles relax, and I am at peace. looking at the map on hand I was surprise that there is a school outside of the city, looking around me the place is almost like deserted place. almost no cars are passing by. As I walked along the beach, I admired the ocean. The waves rolled in, and the sun glinted off the surface. I was enjoying the scenery when I noticed a school in the distance. As I approach the school, I am surprised to see that it is located in a remote area. There is almost no traffic, and the place seems deserted. I am standing in front of a large black gate thinking there maybe here I would find my ideal student life, by thinking by it I can't wait attending the class wondering what kind of people I would meet inside. Yet it's odd even though the school building was so large I see no students are walking nor I see no guard on the gate, what is going on? How am I supposed to enter the school if no one is here, I tried pushing the gate but it was so heavy and it seems lock. now worried the sun is about to set and the city is so far away and no taxi are passing by, I look around for ways to enter the establishment yet the walls are so high up, while going back in fort in front of the gate suddenly I hear a voice.

"Are Natsuki Shiina right?"

As I was walking down the street, I was startled by a loud noise and fell on my back. As I was rubbing my rear end, I heard a voice that sounded worried. I looked up and saw a woman standing in front of me. She was wearing a brown suit and a pink ribbon. Her hair was tied in double buns, and her big purple eyes stared at me. She reach her hand to me while saying "Are you okay?, sorry for startling you" as she softly laugh her small sweet voice is was good for the ears. I reach my hand to her as she help me to stand up.

"Are you?" I ask her while tapping my skirt.

"Ah I'm sorry I haven't introduce myself yet, I am Bianca Brown teacher in this school, nice to meet you Natsuki Shiina I was expecting you I was worried thinking something might happen to you since, you didn't arrive at the appointment time.

"Actually I arrive here on time, but I don't know how to get in" I said it while laughing bitterly.

"Ah, I think there a door place here in the front gate" As teacher Bianca looking around while she press her index finger against her lips. "There is it, Shiina the door bell"

I was surprised to see a doorbell on the front gate of the school as I slowly walks towards it while pointing my finger to it and press it as the it's rings I drop on my knee realizing how stupid I was for not noticing it while looking for a way how to get in. seeing my reaction teacher Bianca laughs as I look at her with teary eyes.

After she finish laughing she claps her hand as she pull my hand "I know your tired, we will have the meeting tomorrow for now I will show you the dorm you are staying in."

While walking in the hall of the empty school I was still at awe on how big the school is I wonder how many students are attending here, I hope I can make friends as soon as possible. While thinking all about that suddenly I hear a voice.

"Disgusting!"

"Stay away from us!"

I stood frozen in my tracks, my arms wrapped tightly around myself. Teacher Bianca, sensing my distress, came to my side and took my hand. I looked up at her, my eyes wide with terror. She smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

after a while, we arrived at the dorm. The teacher showed me to a sofa in the living room while he went to the kitchen to get tea. I looked around and didn't see any other students. I checked the clock on the wall next to the vending machine; it was still 7:00. But the dorm was eerily silent, as if no one lived there. I felt a chill run down my spine. And teacher Bianca come back with tea on hand she give me a cup and she sit down across me as she takes a sip on the tea.

"Are you calm down now, Shiina?" she ask me as soon she finish sipping on her tea.

I was so embarrassed about what happened earlier that I couldn't look Teacher Bianca in the eye. I just sat there, tracing the rim of my teacup with my finger. "Yes, and I'm sorry for earlier"

After I gave my reply, Teacher Bianca stood up and went over to one of the rooms next to us. She opened the door and said, "This is your room. Please make yourself at home." I stood up and went inside the room. It was a large room, and I liked it. The furniture was nice, and the room was clean and well-organized. after that teacher Bianca left the room as she handed me a schedule of class.

I was so exhausted that I just wanted to sink into the bed and let the covers envelop me. I lay down and buried my face in the pillow. As I lay there, I started thinking about something that happened in the past. I wondered why I was suddenly remembering it. It all on the past it has nothing to do now.

I lie awake for a long time, thinking about the day ahead and all the things I need to do. I finally drift off to sleep, but it's a fitful slumber. I toss and turn, and when I finally fall into a deep sleep, I dream that I am late for an appointment. I wake up in a cold sweat and look at the clock. It's already morning! I leap out of bed and step on my backpack, which sends me sprawling to the floor. I scramble to my feet and grab my bag. I have to hurry!

I was so excited to start my new life at this school that I couldn't wait to get out of the dorm and start exploring. I couldn't believe my good fortune. I had been accepted to a prestigious boarding school I was thrilled to be here. I ran out the door, eager to explore my new surroundings. But as I was running out the door, I stopped and looked back at the empty dorm. I was wondering if this school had any students at all.

I was walking through the school hallways, but I didn't see any other students. I started to wonder if I had entered the wrong school. The place was so isolated that I began to think it might not be a school at all, but a secret cult building. I started to wonder if I was the only student in the school.

I ran toward the gate was my only hope, but it refused to open. I was about to give up when I heard a voice behind me. My heart skipped a beat, and a scream escaped my lips, echoing through the courtyard. I duck as I cover my head while apologizing over and over again as I beg not to hurt me explaining that I hate painful things. I looked up and saw Teacher Bianca laughing. I was confused and embarrassed.

"Teacher!"

"Sorry I was not expecting you would scream like that"

I was sitting on the sofa in the teacher's office, my heart pounding in my chest. I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead as Teacher Bianca carefully reviewed my documents. I couldn't help but wonder what her expression would be after she finished reading them. I didn't know, and that was what was making me so anxious.

After a while, Teacher Bianca slowly dropped the papers she was holding, let out a big sigh, stood up, and walked over to the window. She stared out the window for a long moment, not saying a word. Meanwhile, I was shaking uncontrollably. My throat was dry, and sweat was dripping from my face even though the room was cold. I knew that I was in big trouble.

I've been thinking about my life, and it seems that nothing ever goes as I imagine it. Maybe it's because I was born with bad luck. That would explain why everything and everyone leaves me. I've always felt like I was destined to live a life of misfortune. It doesn't matter how hard I try, things always seem to go wrong for me.

The room was so silent that I could hear the air conditioner running and the gentle thud of my own heart as it beat against my ribs. My body was shaking, and my mouth was so dry that I could barely swallow. When I heard the sound of Teacher Bianca's footsteps approaching me, I closed my eyes and tears started to flow. I clenched my fists so hard that my hands started to bleed, but I didn't feel any pain because I was so terrified.

As soon as I sensed Teacher Bianca standing in front of me, I flinched. My body tensed up, and I clenched my teeth. My heart pounded in my chest, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my skin. I was terrified of what would happen if this school rejected me.

Suddenly, I felt warmth and realized that Teacher Bianca was hugging me. I had been so focused on my fear and anxiety that I hadn't even noticed. Her arms wrapped around me, and I felt a sense of comfort and reassurance. "You don't have to be afraid," she said. "What's in the past should stay in the past. Don't worry, everyone deserves a second chance in life, and this is yours."

As Teacher Bianca holds my hands, I feel the warmth of her touch. The sound of her voice is familiar, and her words trigger memories of a time long ago, memories that are bittersweet and hazy. Tears stream down my face as I realize that there are still people willing to accept me, even knowing my past.

After a while, Teacher Bianca let me calm down. She never left my side during the entire time. As soon as I told her I was okay, she stood up and said, "Welcome to Eden Academy, Natsuki Shiina. I'm so happy to have you here. Do you have any questions?"

"There is one thing is bothering me since yesterday"

"What is that?"

"Today is Monday, and it is time for classes at our school. However, when I walked to school this morning, I didn't see any other students. I thought maybe this was a holiday or something, but then I remembered that today is not a holiday. So, I am wondering if our school is closed today for some reason."

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that there are only seven students attending this school, including you," Teacher Bianca said. "This school is for students who have difficulty fitting into society and can't attend regular schools. It offers a supportive environment where students can feel comfortable and safe. I imagine that you, Ms. Shiina, are here for the same reason. there is something else?"

I look at Teacher Bianca and ask, "Is it possible that I can have a normal student life here?" I don't know how to get started. I've never had a normal school life. The other students treat me differently, and I don't know how to fit in. I just want to be a normal student.

"The choice is yours," Teacher Bianca said with a smile. "If you want to have a normal student life like you've always longed for, you can have it here." She looked at me expectantly.

I've always felt like an outcast, never fitting in with society. I am always on the outside looking in. I don't know why I am different, but it is a fact of life. Perhaps this school can be a fresh start for me. I hope to find a place where I can belong and have a normal student life. I am determined to be like everyone else, and to have friends and a normal social life. I hope to find my place in this world.

The meeting had lasted for hours, and all we had done was sit there in silence. When it was finally over, I was exhausted and ready to head home. As I walked down the second-floor hallway, I was surprised to see that the sky was dyed orange and the sun was about to set. It had been a while since I had last seen a sunset. I stopped and took a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Now that I am officially a student at this school, I am looking forward to meeting the other students. However, I was surprised to learn that this school only has seven students, including myself. That seems like a very small number, considering the size of the school. I am eager to meet the other students and learn about their interests and backgrounds. I am also interested in learning more about the school's academic programs and extracurricular activities. I believe that this school will provide me with a well-rounded education and a positive learning environment.

I had never imagined that I would be here; it seemed too good to be true, like a dream. As I walked through the garden, I hoped that nothing bad would happen to spoil this perfect day. Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks. There, in the middle of the garden, was a large pond. I was curious, so I walked slowly toward it. As I got closer, I saw that the pond was filled with colorful koi fish. They were so big and healthy-looking that I couldn't help but think that someone had taken a lot of time and effort to care for them.

[rustle]

"Whose there?!"

Suddenly, I felt someone approaching from behind. Instinctively, I swung my hand backward in a defensive move. When I realized that it was only a girl, I stopped my swing, but not before I had connected with something soft. The girl fell to the ground in surprise. She was wearing a white sailor uniform with a navy blue and white stripe on the edge of the long sleeves. The socks she wore were mismatched checkered knee socks. She had brown hair in a ponytail and green eyes. In her hand was a bag of what looked like fish flakes. I wondered if she was going to feed them to the fish in the pond.

I tried to apologize and reach out to the girl, but she ran away as soon as I did. I picked up the flakes and fed them to the fish. I hope my first impression tomorrow will be better than today. I'm sure she'll tell the other students about me. I just hope they'll listen to me and give me a second chance.

It was getting dark, and I was walking back to the dorm, feeling a little down. I hadn't eaten anything since morning except the cookies in Teacher Bianca's office, and my stomach was growling. As I approached the dorm, it was as quiet as ever. The teacher had said that the other students lived in the same dorm as me, but I hadn't seen anyone except that girl earlier. I laughed to myself because I didn't think she was a ghost. When my hand touched hers, it was brief, but I knew that kind of sensation.

I dug in my bag for the key and opened the door. Memories flooded back as I stepped over the threshold. The room was familiar, but I couldn't place it. I shrugged it off and went to the cupboard for some canned goods. While I was eating, my phone buzzed with a text, As soon as I saw the text message, I knew who it was from. I ignored it and continued eating my food. After I finished eating, I took a quick shower and went to bed. I didn't want to think about the message, and I didn't want to give the sender the satisfaction of knowing that I was thinking about it.

Morning has come, and I am excited for the day. Yesterday was a good day, and I am looking forward to today being even better. I am going to study hard today and try to get good grades. Studying is important, and getting good grades is important for my future. However, my health is more important than good grades. Good grades will not heal me from illness, so I am going to make sure to get some exercise today as well.

Years ago, my master took me in as a child and taught me everything I know. I was like a programmed robot, unable to move without being told to. I walked down a dark path so deep that I didn't think I could ever return. But thanks to her, I am here. However, life doesn't always go as planned. I have encountered many struggles that have added trauma to my already messed-up life. But as my master says, life isn't about finding yourself; it's about creating yourself. Until now, I don't really know what that means. If I can't find myself, how can I create one? I'm not that smart, so I just go with the flow. No matter what happens, as long as I am me, I will be okay.

After cleaning myself up, I feel ready to face whatever the future holds for me at this school. I take a deep breath and open the door with confidence, knowing that I made a good first impression. I am eager to start this new phase of my life.

I was surprised to see a familiar face in front of me. It was the girl I met yesterday. I am relieved she is not a ghost! After what happened yesterday, it's no wonder she is looking at me with surprise. I need to set things right with her. I don't want my classmate hating me on the first day, and I definitely don't want her hating me in the future either. I just have to figure out what to say.

I had a good look at her, and I can tell that she is quite cute. She is short, standing about 158 cm, with a slender body and a small face. Her small pink lips, big eyes, and slightly oversized uniform suit her well. I was immediately attracted to her. When I tried to talk to her, she just stood there frozen like a statue. But the moment I walked away, she ran off again. That makes me a little sad.

I'm walking alone in the hallway, my heart feeling a little broken. I really wish she would talk to me. I really want to clear things up with her. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around her, and it's really starting to affect my life.

"You must be the new student teacher mention"

I turned around and was surprised to see a beautiful woman standing in front of me. She had waist-length red hair with tiny twin tails at the top of her head. Her eyes were a deep purple, and her lips were red with a mole just under them. Her uniform that clung to her curves in all the right places.

I was excited to meet everyone today, but I didn't expect to meet someone so early. I was nervous, but I answered honestly. "Yes, I am!" I said. I already met one person, but she didn't talk to me.

"I'm Haruna Smirnov Nice to meet you!"

"I'm Shiina Natsuki. It's nice to meet you too, Haruna Smirnov. Your name is Haruna, right? And you said your last name is Smirnov? That's an unusual last name. Where are you from?"

"I am half Russian. My mother is Japanese, and my father is Russian. We used to live abroad but things happens and now I'm here, is something wrong?" Haruna looks at Natsuki with a puzzled expression.

"Ah nothing and this girl?"

The girl from yesterday and earlier is hiding behind Haruna, clutching her hand to Haruna's hand.

"Ah, this girl is Miko Amamiya. She's pure Japanese, by the way, and a little shy. I apologize for her, but I think you'll like her once you get to know her." Haruna gently takes Miko's hand and squats down next to her.

Haruna's gentle voice was so nice to hear as she patted Miko's head. I could clearly see that she was acting like a big sister to her, but despite that, Miko buried her face against Haruna as she hugged her tightly while shaking her head. "Come on, Miko," Haruna urged, "say it to your sister for me." Miko just shook her head and squeezed Haruna even tighter.

"I'm sorry," Haruna says, looking at me with a mixture of concern and confusion in her eyes. "She's usually not like this. In fact, she's been acting strange since yesterday. It all started when she went to feed the fish in the pond. I don't know what happened, but she won't tell me."

I told Haruna what happened that day.

I was nervous about telling Haruna what happened. I was new and didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with my classmates. Fortunately, she wasn't angry. That was a relief because I didn't want to start my new life on the wrong foot.

Haruna bent down in front of Miko and spoke to her in a gentle voice. "Miko, I know you're still feeling shaken up from the encounter with Shiina. I understand why you might be afraid of her, given what happened. However, it seems that Shiina did not mean to hurt you. She was acting out of character, and she has been trying to apologize to you. Can you find it in your heart to forgive her?"

When I first met Miko, she was terrified of me. It took a lot of reassurance from Haruna to convince her that I didn't mean to hurt her. When Miko finally nodded and hugged Haruna, I knew that she had forgiven me. I felt that I was off to a good start in this new life.

I discovered that Haruna is quite talkative as we walked to class together. She shared some of her life story before coming here. As she talked, I felt a bit envious because it seemed like she had a good life before. However, I remembered that the teacher said that all the students who enroll here have reasons for doing so. I wonder what Haruna's reasons are, since it seems like she had a good life before coming here. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

As Haruna and I entered the room, she greeted everyone cheerfully, but no one responded. In the corner, two tables from the front, a girl with white hair and velvet eyes was sitting quietly, reading a book. On the other side, in the middle, a blond girl with ocean-colored eyes looked annoyed. In front, a pink-haired girl with rose-colored eyes was reading a book. In the back, another girl with long black hair and blue highlights was also reading a book, the wind blowing through her hair. This scene reminded me of a manga I once read, except that the girl in the manga was blonde, not black-haired.

I was surprised that Haruna was not upset that no one responded to her greeting. She went to her desk in the left corner, and Miko sat down next to the pink-haired girl. The room was silent, and I could feel the heavy atmosphere. I took a seat in the middle corner near the window, and the teacher entered the room and asked me to take a seat.

"Okay everyone let's starts our lesson"

I've dreamed of a normal life as a student for so long that it's difficult to believe it's finally happening. I'm excited to discover what this journey has in store for me.
