Episode 1 - Oath Taking

I woke up and checked the time, it was already 5:30 in the morning.

I cleaned my bedroom and took a 15 minutes shower.

I did what mostly people would do after waking up.

After that, I went downstairs and smelt the aroma of toast.

My mom is definitely on a day off. That's why she's making breakfast today.

"Good morning everyone" I greeted my parents and my younger brother Akio who's 5 years younger than me

"Good morning sunshine, are you all set for your oat taking today?" dad asked.

"Yup, I'm all set now" I replied at him, and giving a smile at them "I'm off to go now. Mom, Dad" I grabbed my keys and walked out of the door.

All of a sudden, Akio hugged me from behind and said "Good luck on your oat taking, big sis!"

"Thanks for your concern, don't forget to take your vitamins before you went to school okay? And also double-check your school items if they are complete" I replied at him and giving him a head pat before heading to school.

Yuki and Aiko was waiting for me at the front porch, Yuki got a car from her 16th birthday as her birthday present. Ever since she got her car, she had been our personal driver.

We got in the car and Yuki drove off.

"Are you guys excited" Aiko asked.

"Were more than excited because we could spend another school year being classmates" I replied to Aiko

"I definitely agree with Yany" Yuki replied.

Yuki got a call, It was her older brother "Yuki, you forgot your portable charger at home"

"It's fine, I'll just borrow my friends portable charger" Yuki replied.

We got to school, Yuki parked the car.

After we got off the car, I saw Miko. I admired him but suddenly Aiko snapped her fingers in front of my face while we were walking.

"Admiring him again?" Aiko said.

"I can't help, he's too perfect. He's handsome and a school genius." I replied.

"You should try giving him a Love letter, you might strike a chance" Yuki said.

"What if I might get rejected? That's super embarrassing" I said.

"You wont know unless you tried, right?" Aiko and Yuki told me.

"You guys are right. I'll try next week at our first day" I replied.

We got to our seats, and gosh! Miko was in front of me like what a coincidence right?

...The oat taking ceremony started 5 minutes after we got into our seats....

"I, Miko Irie, do solemnly swear to uphold the duties of my office the Osaka Seikō Gakuin Junior & Senior High School student council with integrity, respect and conviction. I pledge to represent my peers honestly and to the best of my ability" Miko's Oath.

...All the student recited their oath one by one....

As soon as oath taking was over, the mean girl decided to pick on us.

"What do you want now, Emmy?" I said with a serious look.

"Your oath isn't that good earlier, are you really that dumb to said that oath" Emmy said.

"She doesn't need your opinion, Emmy. And besides why do you care?" Aiko said.

"Whatever, im just being honest about her stup!d oath" Emmy said with a grin on her face.

"Could you stop bullying them Em?" Elias Brown spoke.

Wondering who's Elias? He's the basketball captain and some girls are drooling about him, like why? He's also from the USA but grew up in Japan in some other thoughts.

"Cut the crap, Elias. Why are you defending these weirdos?" Emmy said.

"Just do what I say, do you want to get detention for your first day?" Elias said.

"Fine!" Emmy said then stormed off like an angry tea pot that is about to explode in any second.

...Few minutes went by...

"Should we get something to eat? I'm starving" Aiko said as her stomach growled.

"Sure, It's my treat for now." I said to them

We walked to the nearest 7-Eleven and walked inside.

"So what do you guys want? My money is ¥11,800" I said.

"How'd you get that much cash?" Aiko and Yuki said in shock.

"My parents gave it to me, It's my monthly allowance" I said.

"I'll just get a Pringles, 1 crunch chicken with rice and 1 Pepsi gulp" Aiko said.

"I'll take 2 crunch chicken with rice and 1 diet coke" Yuki said.

"Then I'll take a 1 medium size root bear gulp, 1 crunch box 4 pc. Chicken and 3 boxes of Tobleron chocolate"

"That will cost ¥2,579" the cashier said.

I handed the cashier a ¥5000 bill.

I took the change, and we walked back to school carrying our foods.

We ate at the cafeteria.

"Thanks for the food" Aiko said while munching her food like a hungry beast.

...After we ate....

"Let's go at my house, lets chill and watch some Netflix" I said to them.

"We need some snacks and drinks then" Yuki said.

"You're definitely right" Aiko said.

We drove to the 7-eleven, and we bought a bunch of snacks and drinks.

We arrived at our house.

"Good Afternoon everyone" I greeted my Family.

"How's the Oath taking, sweetheart?" mom asked.

"It was fine" I replied.

"Oh you brought your friends over?" mom asked me again.

"Yeah, I told them that if we could chill at the house" I said.

"Perfect, Your Cousins and Our relatives just got here. You should greet them as a welcome gift" mom said with a smile.

"Oh, they visited us?" I asked.

"Yes, your brother's birthday is coming up, so they decided to visit us as an early birthday gift" mom told me.

"Oh okay, We will go upstairs then I'll greet them as soon as I changed" I said.

Me, Yuki and Aiko walked upstairs with the snacks and drinks we bought.

I changed into a proper clothes and I went downstairs to greet my cousins and relatives.

"Hi everyone, welcome to osaka!" I greeted them.

"Yanzy, long time no see. How many years had been? 5 years?" Aunt Mary said.

"Do you have any boyfriend by now, Yanzy?" Aunt Sarah asked.

"Nope, I don't have any time for those kinds of stuff right now" I said to aunt Sarah.

"Oh by the way, Yany. I brought a friend here, do you want to greet him as well?" my cousin Alexei asked me.

"Sure why not?" I said.

All of a sudden I saw miko leaning to the wall and made an eye contact with me.

"Aren't you the girl behind me earlier?" Miko asked.

"Yeah. That was me" I said.

This is kinda awkward, cause how could I even think straight if my own crush is at my house. I was thinking of confessing my love to him but maybe that won't work now.

"See you guys later, I still have things to do" I said then I ran upstairs like I saw a ghost running to me.

I was panting when I got to my room.

"Why are you panting, did you see a ghost or something?" Aiko asked while laughing.

"It's not a ghost, It was Miko!" I said.

"Are you drunk or something, why would miko suddenly goes into your house? Yuki asked curiously.

"That's what I'm thinking too, but unfortunately. My cousin Alexei was miko's friend and my cousin brought him here!" I said.

"That's so messed up you know?" Aiko said.

"Then it's your chance to confess your love to Miko while he's here" Yuki said.

"I'm not sure about that right now, Yuki" I said to Yuki.
