"Are you sure this will work?"
"What are you worried about? If it doesn't, we can just say that we're trying new things and obviously, it didn't work out. Ya' know, trial and error."
The 'click' of a pair of shoes could be heard as the board members quiet down. "Mister Yamanashi, there is no such thing as a simple 'trial and error' when it comes to business," a loud voice could be heard as it echoed in the room before silence fell upon them once again.
"Yes but-"
The owner of the loud voice turned to face Mr. Yamanashi swiftly before cutting him off, "If you are in any form of business and you take the term 'trial and error' lightly, please do everyone a favour and resign yourself to herding cows,". The male who had once spoken up kept his gaze on the floor as the owner of the loud voice, Miss Inori, continued, "In the business of education, particularly that of White Rose High, we need to be extremely cautious. Having experimental tries such as the one we are going to start up soon is like threading on ice- you either fail miserably and plunge into a cold death or," she smiled slightly, her pristine white teeth visible, "You go back into the surface and write about how you crossed the Atlantic successfully."

The morning was alright.
If Nao Yoshida had to describe what it felt like to start her first day to high, she would say the morning was alright. It was slightly above average but the rating wouldn't be too high and she would not say that the day looked hopeful as she thought it would be last night.
"Okay, let's start over. Maybe that'll cheer me up a bit more."
The birds were chirping outside her window, presuming they were perched on a branch. The wind was blowing lightly, she could tell, by the sound of leaves rustling. And today was going to be an exciting, horrifying, regretful and adventurous day.
Whelp. All those words didn't mix well. Oh well.
The female placed her feet on the wooden floor of her apartment unit before standing up from her bed and stretching a bit. She then made her way to the kitchen. Nao had made pre-made breakfast the night before, wanting to sleep in a bit more.
She grabbed the sandwiches out of the refrigerator before placing them into the microwave and heating them up for about half a second. "Today's the day I become a man, Potato," she said as her black cat jumped onto the counter and meowed once. Nao gave it a smile before scratching it behind its right ear. "You know your food is in the dispenser." She replied before taking a bite out of one of the sandwiches she heated up.
Just as the female was about to grab the other sandwich, she took a glanced at the wall clock before her eyes widened. "I have exactly half an hour until the assembly starts," she said aloud before making her way to her bathroom and lightning speed, leaving her cat to poke at the sandwich she had left untouched.

I'mnotlateI'mnotlateI'mnotlate.
Nao Yoshida kept chanting to herself as she walked- more like ran her way to White Rose High.
"I cannot be late," She said to herself.
The platinum blonde was about to lean against the closest wall in exhaustion when she realised that she had just reached the front gates of her high school (her brother's but yeah). Just as she arrived, she had noticed that there was a large crowd. Of course, if they were students, she would understand, considering it's the first assembly of the school year. The thing is, they were not students but rather the media. More specifically, those who were from the press or even online gossip forums. She recognised some from sites she had browsed.
"Hey, watch it girl!" a male said as Nao accidentally bumped into one of the press representatives. Her heart beat slightly faster before he turned to her with a questioning look and bowing slightly, almost ashamed, "I-I mean, boy. Sorry, boy."
Nao nodded before quickly making her way into the multipurpose hall as the school bell rang once, not wanting to linger on what just happened. Considering she was one of the shortest 'males' there, she was forced to stand right at the back as the hall filled up quite quickly, not to mention having the press representatives occupying the first two rows in front.
"Welcome everybody, the media, visitors, teachers and most of all, students," an older lady in her forties with long raven hair spoke into the microphone with a wide smile, "To White Rose High. I am Miss Inori Yasuke and am delighted to start off this year with something new to offer the students that have decided to enrol into our historic school."
She then stepped towards what Nao assumed as the school podium before looking at everyone, or more specifically, the press representatives who were taking photos after photos of herself, "This year, we will be starting a 'Field programme' in the hopes of honing and deepening the skills of each student here, especially the first years." Miss Inori paused for a moment as she flipped a page of her script before continuing, "Each student is mandated now to enter a chosen field, either arts, sports or the sciences. The objective of this is to ensure that students obtain a learning-outside-the-classroom experience and immerse themselves in what is actually going on in the world."
Nao Yoshida raised an eyebrow as she stepped on her tiptoes, trying to stand tall enough to be able to witness the principal. Although, her efforts were to no avail, considering only she knew she was a girl. The rest were all results of the XY chromosomes.
"I wish I was taller for once in my life," she said a little bit louder than she intended.
