Day 3 Novelember

Today it seems the good mood still hasn’t left me as I get ready for another day of highschool. I wonder what’s in store for me today. I hope it somehow involves blue twintails. I’ll try my best involve them anyway, I need to start taking some action myself now that I can talk to Aya more comfortably.

I leave the house after I’m done with my usual daily routines. I made sure I didn’t leave too early so no accidents happen like last time, and not too late so I don’t have to run to school which happens a more regular basis.

On the way I always take to school, around midway through, I reach the small town square, and this time I see a familiar face, a face I am always happy to see. Standing by the town clock I see Aya, it looks like she’s waiting for someone. I see a good chance to talk to her and I take it.

“Hello” I said after approaching her

She smiles as she greets me back.

“Ah, hello Anon. What are you doing here?”

“Just on my way to school. Are you waiting for someone here?” I asked

“I’m waiting for Yoko, who is late as always.”

I don’t think it’s that late but she looks like the early bird type.

“Do you always pass by here on the way to school?” Aya asked

“Yeah, I come from that road over there.” I replied while pointing at said road

This seems to surprise her a bit.

“Oh, I also live that way.”

My eyes start glittering a little with this statement.

“Then m-maybe we could go some of the way home together from now on.”

Her face is blushing and she turns her head to her right and a little down. She’s more nervous than me at this point. But she so cute when she’s blushing, I can’t help but smile a little.

“S-s-sure that sounds nice.”

I scream a big internal YEEEES at her response. But of course on the outside I can keep my cool and say.

“I’ll be looking forwards for it.”

And with that it looks like Yoko is finally arriving.

“You’re late!” yelled Aya.

“Sorry, sorry … Oh Anon, you’re here too.”

“Yeah, looks like we’ll be seeing each other every morning from now on.”

“Ohoh, cool” Yoko replied

We now begin walking towards the school. It looks like they take a different path from what I usually take.

“Wouldn’t it be faster if we went that way instead?” I asked

“Oh, we still have to meet up with Shino and Alice. It’s just a little detour” Aya answered

“Oh ok, I don’t mind, I was just wondering.”

We walked around two minutes until we reach a small plaza, and it seems Shino and Alice are already waiting. They spot us and wave at us with a smile.

Shino greets us with a “Hallo!”

Everyone else also says “hello” or “good morning”

We’re all talking to each other when Yoko says.

“Now that you mention it, I met a blond girl around here yesterday.”

Shino gets very excited with these news. Yoko describes the girl and right after she does she says.

“Right, she looked just like this.” She says, pointing at a blond girl sitting in a bench.

She fits perfectly in Yoko’s description. This is obviously the same girl she was talking about, she even has a Union Jack Jacket. Which I admit looks kinda cool. This blond girl quickly sees Alice and gives her a quick hug. They must be close friends.

Everyone talks for a bit, until everyone knows what’s going on. Looks like she’s Alice’s childhood friend

“I’m Karen desu~. I transferred to your school desu~”

Oh great, another girl joins our group, being the only guy I feel like the main character of some dating simulator. I already  know which route I'm taking though.

Shino's eyes are shining with joy at the sight of this new blond girl. So I ask.

“Does Shino also know this girl? She seems very happy to see her.”

“Nah, but we told you she loved foreigners:” Yoko replied

“Well … I’m kind of a foreigner too. And this makes me a kind of jealous.” I say half-jokingly (I’m actually a little jealous)

“There is only one thing Shino loves more than foreigners and that is blond hair.” Aya answers with a cute giggle.

“Ah, ok I think I get it.”

Anyways we go to school like originally planned, with this new girl being the main topic on the way over. Eventually we arrive. And right on time it seems, we don’t have much time before our first class.

I have to part ways with the girls and go to my own classes. That was one eventful morning. I’m still focusing more on the fact that I get to go home with Aya, or maybe I’ll take her home, depends which one is closer. Either way it’s very nice and I’ll get to do it every day from now on.

The class is over but the teacher keeps me in for some stupid reason, he says haven’t been paying attention in classes and haven’t been doing my homework. While it may be true, it’s still very annoying, I do not feel like doing this at all right now. Like dude it’s the first week, calm down. I wanted to go to Aya’s classroom and try to talk to her but the break is almost of over and he’s still going at it. Oh well there’s always next class break.

The next class passes as slowly as the first but at least I get to leave with the bell. I go over to classroom 1-B to see if Aya is there.

Looks like I’m in luck since I find Aya in the hallway talking to Karen.

I greet them both “Hello there.”

“Hi.”

“Hello desu~”

“So … what’s up” best line I got when I don’t know what else to say.

Maybe I should have planned something before coming over.

“Oh, I was just talking to Ayaya!”

“Ayaya?”

“Please not you too” Said Aya. It seems she must have got a lot of that earlier.

But I’m always up for a bit of teasing, and that nickname is just is just adorable.

“Ooh, I love that nickname. Mind if I use it Karen?”

“Sure desu~” She replied happily

“Please don’t” Begged poor Aya.

“Why not it’s so cute, it suits you.” Damn I’m getting smoother.

Ayaya’s face instantly turns red as a tomato.

“S-shut up ba-BAKA!” She yelled

What? A Tsundere? I thought these were fictional beings that only existed in the fantastical realm of anime and manga. But there’s no doubt about it. That was the standard Tsundere response to a compliment.

Now wait a second. I happen to be an expert on this subject. I studied enough tsunderes to know that they only act tsun when they have some affection towards the “victim” of her verbal attacks. And she just called me a baka. So I guess she must like me at least a little.

Her face is still fully blushed and I realize no one has said anything for a while, so I quickly change subject, and we talk for the rest of this break.

The bell rings and as I am about to leave Aya asks.

“Will you join us for lunch again today?”

“Sure, I’d love to.”

She replies with a smile. I was planning on joining them anyway but it's a very nice feeling to know that she wants me there.

And so I happily go to my next class awaiting to have lunch with the prettiest girl I know.  

Time always seems to pass slowly when you want it go faster, and it seems the teachers lecture didn't do any good as I find myself daydreaming the class away not paying attention to it all.

Class is over and I quickly go to her classroom for lunch, this time I don't get lost on the way over. I take a seat in the same place I did last time and Karen also joins us today as she seats in front of me on the other side of the desks.

A lot happened today and there's a lot to talk about. We all have a good time, talking to each other and I got to hear a cute story of when Aya was child.  

I feel like I'm already well part of this group, even besides Aya, they're all really nice girls.

The bell rings signaling that lunch time is over and I go to my next classes. Like always it feels like a really long time but they do eventually come to an end and it’s now time to go home. I haven’t forgotten that today I have company.

I leave the school building and wait by the entrance for the girls. They come after a while and we start walking on our way home. We make small talk along the until we reach the small plaza where say bye to Shino, Alice and Karen and then keep walking until the town square where we get separated from Yoko.

And now it’s just me and Aya. This is the first time that I’m really alone with her. We start going on our way and none of us is saying anything. It’s a little awkward right now, somebody will have to break the ice. Naturally that somebody will have to be me, so I start by trying to make some small talk.

“So today was an eventful day.”

“It sure was. I wasn’t expecting we’d get another new girl from England.” She says still a little shocked.

“I know right, and isn’t she half Japanese? Why does she speak so poorly and what’s up with the desu~?”

She laughs at this remark and it seems we finally have a conversation going on. Thankfully the topic changes after a while, not that I don’t like Karen but I don’t want her to be all we talk about.

And sadly after a while our walk for today comes to an end as we arrive at my house, looks like I’m off first.

Before we say goodbye for the day, I feel like I should add something more.

“You know, I used to feel lonely coming home by myself. I’m happy I get to come with you now.”

She starts blushing a lot at this statement but she’s smiling as she does.

“I-I’m happy to come with you too.” she said shyly “I’ll wait for you here tomorrow morning. I-if that’s ok with you.”

I have a big smile on my face as I say.

“That sounds lovely, I usually leave around seven and a half, I’ll to try to not keep you waiting.”

She happily agrees with this and we both say bye-bye.

I go inside my home with the widest smile in a very long time. I can’t remember the last time i was this happy.

This year is already being great and it has only just begun, I feel like things will be even better with time. It looks like it won’t be that easy though, it’s not easy to please a tsundere. I wish one day I get to hear those sweet words “It’s like you or anything baka.” because that's when I’ll know that she really does like this baka.
