First Step to a New Beginning

[saito]

-- Keith I was obviously aware of, Hiroko was standing right in front of me, and Keith had already informed me about Kate. And then there was Fau-... FAUST?!... Well, I guess this might explain why I hadn't been seeing him around New York over the past while. He was on the other side of the country. Here! But besides those few scrapes we had gotten into during my freshman year, I didn't think we really held anything against each other. Phew. And Jyo? I thought he was dead for some reason. Meh, must be my mind playing tricks. Trying to be FUNNY. But there were more besides those listed!... I could make a Where's Waldo game out of this.

"That is a lot..."

-- It made me wonder if something had been going on at 552.

-- Well, as Hiroko had said, that was for another time. Now I got to know the buildings a little bit. Seperate buildings, eh? Not like the one big building 552 was. But heck, with all these transfers, there was a need for room, wasn't there?

"Well, I hope I'm in the right building, then."

[Keith]

Keith had made it into the classroom and started mixing the ingredients. Luckily, he was the only person in the classroom. But he never thought he'd run into the Hiroko Katashi that he learned so much about back at 552. Keith had plenty of questions he wanted to ask Hiroko. But now wasn't the time. And perhaps, Hiroko was trying to get away from his past and start a new life, too.

Who knew?

Perhaps Saito knew who Keith really was. But that was uncertain at the moment. Luckily Kate didn't know who he was. But back at 552, the two of them hardly knew each other at all aside from the slight run-ins with each other. And Keith's been hearing rumors of a certain college graduate transferring all the way from NYC.

If the rumors were true, things would get interesting. But at the moment, they were just rumors. However, there are two truths. Saito was now a transfer and that Hiroko was actually here as the home economics teacher. It was slightly unreal. However, one must expect the unexpected.

So many questions...
