First Day, First Everything

⛅ 'Hakachi Kemiko' ⛅

Un! That's me!

Or.. That's what I thought untill a few months ago.

Hakachi Kemiko—Kemiko Hakachi *sigh* Just call me anything... Just call me, it's fine.

**I never go school before. But now, I am here**.

**GPPS**. Big, big school. Bigger than any place I ever see. And it is on an island.

**A whole island**!

I hold the letter many times before. Touch the words. Read them again and again. I think maybe mistake? Maybe someone take my name by accident? This school, only smart people come here. Like genius, like prodigy, like brain-big people.

**Me**? I don't even know how school work.

But letter says, **Kemiko Hakachi, you are accepted**.

**So here I am**.

Everything is BIG.

The plane is big. The boat is big. The school gate is big...

Even my eyes are going big, cannot stop moving. I want to see everything, touch everything. I hold Kyo-niichan's hand tight. Not because I scared. Because if I don't, I run. I run everywhere, see everything, maybe get lost.

If I do get lost—Daijoubo dayo! [It's okay, don't worry!]

I get lost many times and I go back. Miko always come back. ^~^

The Onee-san who called me, she wear a suit, and a pin, just like her friends. Really nice big girl. "Welcome to GPPS, Kemiko, student from Japan." she said.

"Here's your card."—"Your card will be your key to everything. Do not lose it."

She give me a card with my name.

So many letters and numbers on it. When I touch it, I feel... special.

I put it in my little bag. Safe.

We take a train to the dorm.

What did Reina-oneesan call it? Ah... Yes, a monorail!

The ride is smooth, and I see trees, buildings, even a little bit of ocean. I want to ask so many questions, but I also want to just look. My head is full of—Wow, Wow... Wow!

I stand at the door. The card in my hand. I tap it like Reina-oneesan said.

*Beep*!

The door clicks.

My heart also clicks. Like—this is real. **I am really here**.

~~~~~

Usually, four students in one room. But they are making new buildings. Not enough ready space. So, they put me in a room, a teacher's room. Not a student room—With one other girl.

**Soo-ya; Jisoo-ya**

Her family call her that.

Yeah, her family.

Her Father. Her mother. And... this big girl, **Jihye** onee-san.

Our senior. **Student council** they say...

And I think, it's... Nice.

**Jisoo so lucky**! — I only have Kyo-niichan with me.

~~~~~

She sits on her bed, looking at me.

Her eyes like a doll, cubby cheeks—***Kawaii ya ne***! \[So cute, right?!\]

But she no expression. No mean, maybe… shy?

More like... thinking. Studying me.
