Just as the homeroom teacher finished his announcement, Hiro entered the classroom and slowly made his way towards the podium.
Chiseled jaw, sharp nose, curly black hair and fair-skinned with strawberry red lips, his appearance was similar to that of a young teen idol. And by no means he looked like he was only 12.
“Woah!! Look at that new guy. He looks damn good looking.” One of the student mumbled in awe after noticing Hiro’s appearance.
“And what’s with that height and appearance? Is he even the same age as us? Or did he inherit some western genes?” Another student seated at the 4th row beside the hallway mumbled.
“He seems just like my type.” A girl with medium length straight black hair seated at the seat in the second row, just beside the window spoke while looking at him affectionately.
“Yeah!! Hahaha… Every pretty boy is your type.” Another fair-skinned girl with bangs, who was seated just beside her chuckled and teased her.
While most of the guys and girls in his classrooms were fawning over Hiro’s looks, Masato was getting annoyed by their overexaggeration.
“What are they fawning over him for? He’s got just above average looks at most.” Masato the bully from before intoned sounding somewhat annoyed.
From the moment Hiro stepped inside the classroom, the students in his classroom had started to gossip about his looks. Some looked at him affectionately, some idolised him, some didn’t care at all, while some even hated him just for his good looks.
And as the gossip’s continued, the class started to get noisy.
Even after he reached the podium, the gossips of the students infront didn’t die down. Infact it only intensified as he stood infront of them while facing them.
“Silence everybody!!” Annoyed by the students gossiping noises, homeroom teacher yelled.
Hearing his furious roar, everybody shut their mouth in an instant. And as the classroom got silent, the teacher gestured Hiro to introduce himself.
“Hello everyone!! I’m Takahashi Hiro. I’m 12 years old and I’m from Tokushima. I’m not good at anything other than football.” Hiro then began to introduce himself infront of other students.
“He’s only 12!! Are you kidding me?? He’s even younger than me.” The same guy seated at the 4th row who was questioning about his age earlier, intoned with his eyes wide open and mouth agape.
Most of the student’s were shocked to find out his real age. At most they had predicted him to be of their age. But he was the youngest in the class instead.
“Hmm… And doesn’t that name ring a bell to you?” One of the student with short hair and tanned skin, who looked like a monk questioned while trying to remember something.
“I’m not sure.” The other guy sitting beside him replied.
“Ahh right!! He’s that guy who didn’t turn on his camera during the online classes.” The guy with monk like appearance blurted out after remembering.
“What!! He’s that guy? I thought that during that time that guy was keeping his camera off because of his ugly appearance. But who knew he’d be this handsome.”
Since he had kept his camera off during the online classes, nobody in his class had seen his appearance before, despite attending the online classes together.
“So tell us Hiro. What brings you here to kanagawa prefecture?” The teacher questioned him after he finished his introduction.
The teacher obviously knew about his reason. But still he questioned him about his reason for coming to Kawasaki.
“Ahh right!! I forgot to mention about that part. The reason why I’m here in Kawasaki is because of my footballing career. I play football for Kawasaki Frontale’s youth team. You guys should come and watch us play.”
“So he is a Footballer. I thought he was somekind of idol in training but that’s even more amazing.” Her eyes gleaming, the girl beside the window spoke.
“Thank you for your introduction Hiro. You can take that empty seat beside Masao.”
And as he finished his introduction, the teacher thanked him and gestured him to take the empty seat beside Masao which was in the 4th row beside the window and right infront of Masato’s gang.
With each row consisting of 6 students, there were altogether 7 rows in total.
He then stepped down the podium and walked towards the empty seat. And as he placed his bag beneath his desk, he adjusted his chair and sat down.
Masao who was keeping his head bowed down during his introduction, meekly lifted his head towards Hiro to take a peak of him.
But at that moment Hiro too had turned his gaze towards Masao to greet him.
“Hello!! Pleased to make your acquaintan-” Before Hiro could even finish his sentence, Masao quickly turned his gaze away from him and ignored him.
Noticing him giving him cold shoulders, Hiro’s smile quickly faded away.
‘May be he’s one of those shy type of guy.’ Hiro thought while looking at him with somewhat puzzled expression on his face.
And as he assumed his seat, the teacher started to scribble something on the board and resumed the class.
During the class, time and again students in the front seat turned their head towards him to take a peak of him.
However despite noticing their gazes, he paid no attention to them. Instead most of the time, his gaze was always wandering outside the window.
And as such during one of the classes while he was looking outside the window, he heard a voice coming from infront.
“Pss!! Dude the teacher is looking at you.” The guy infront whispered while warning him about the teachers gaze on him.
But before he could react, the teacher called out his name.
“You!! The new guy. What’s your name?”
“Who?? Me??” He questioned with a puzzled expression while pointing his finger towards him.
“Yes who else here is new but you?” The teacher replied with a stern expression.
“I’m Takahashi Hiro.”
“Oh!! So you’re that guy who kept his camera off during the online classes.” The female teacher with a ponytail spoke while stepping down her podium.
“So Hiro. Do you find my classes boring?” The female teacher questioned.
The teacher infront was the English language teacher. And currently at that moment, he was in english class.
“No mam. I love English.” He replied in a confident tone. .𝒐𝙧𝒈
However that was a lie. Aside from footballing terms, players names and some basic english, he knew nothing about english.
