Cool weather, light sunshine, the start of school, cherry blossoms...it was Spring indeed! Standing by one of the windows, one student quietly watched the large tree in the middle of the courtyard at the center of the school, a handful of pinkish-white blossom petals falling with every whistling breeze, lit lightly by the early morning sun. Encapsulated a bit, the boy, a bit taller than average, his short, well kept hair a light brown color, couldn't move his dark green eyes away. He wore the a light red colored coat with matching pants over a white dress shirt with a green tie. Also in his arms were a few papers, seemingly forgotten.
As the young man watched through the window, footsteps approached, but he did not heed them, until a voice called out, "Hanayume Yutaka?"
Snapping his head towards the adult, Yutaka gave a surprised gasp of, "Yes!?"
The shorter, portly man with a bristly mustache and shaved head, wearing a rather plain shirt and black tie noted, "You're here rather early for your second day."
Yutaka admitted, "Er, I guess I'm just excited..." He scratched his head as he let out a nervous laugh.
The portly man nodded, blinking his gray eyes before stating, "I can tell. I believe this is yours?" Yutaka gulped as he saw the paper, matching the bundle he had in his hands: at the top, it read 'Competitive Karuta Club!', and on the bottom 'See Hanayume Yutaka at lunch in class 1-A'. Sandwhiched in between was an image of an old man in a colorful, traditional outfit, like one might see on one the Hyakunin Isshu reading cards.
"A-ah, is it too early to stat looking for club members? Or does Akayamamine already have a-"
"There was one of these in every desk in my classroom. And this one came from the bookshelf."
"Well, I though that no one would expect to join a Karuta club, so I should put them in unexpect-"
"It's too intrusive. We have a bulletin board for club advertisements, you know. It's by the principal's office." Glancing at the stack, the teacher asked, "How many of those have you scattered around?"
"W-well, 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, I was about to go to 1-D..."
With a sigh, the teacher said, "Please fetch them. I'll place this one on the bulletin board for you."
Slouching a bit, Yutaka muttered, "Th-thank you, sensei..." As he went by, Yutaka was alone in the halls once again. Holding up his stack of papers he had planned to pass out, he shoved them into his face before groaning quietly, "What a waste of money..."
Trudging on his way, he moved back to 1-C, entering the still empty and clean classroom, before going along to take the papers he'd left. A few desks on, he grabbed one paper, but instead of taking it, he hesitated, before pushing it back deeper inside the desk and moving on. Just that one, he offered.
A few desks along, he did so once more, thinking, Or about five...
Some minutes later, he stepped outside, ready to move to the next room. ...Per class...
