Shard and the Crescent

'black cat?'

"when can we start?" i said nonchalantly, but soon realised it's not as easy as it seems, getting trained by a hashira was not easy. the whole day I was running around, trying to balance on one foot, doing handstands, the whole day was just a warmup according to him.

the next day, I got woken up early, at roughly 6:30, the boy who was my age introduced himself and we quickly became friends, Asahi, he gave me a uniform and told me that it was the first day of school, I had to quickly get ready putting on the white button up shirt and a black skirt that barely touched my knees, then i rushed to put on socks and my boots.

the first day of school went pretty well, I made a friend, Akari, it seemed that Asahi paid much attention to her, after school Asahi went home first and i was walking home with Akari, while walking i looked around and saw a boy playing with a black cat, maybe he was a few years older, he didn't seem like it though. before I knew it i slipped and feel into a small hole and let out a muffled scream which caught the boys attention. he walked over slowly as i admired him, basically not taking my eyes off of him, he reached out a helping hand and said

"are u okay?" i took the hand and slowly got up clumsily dusting off the dirt on my skirt, then turned around to see Akari, eyeing my nervousness and clumsiness.

after walking past the boy Akari nonchalantly said "that was my step brother" my eyes widened and I looked at her in denial. "yes, yes, before u ask, he does go to this school, his 12, class 7th" i chuckle "why are u telling me this?" she looks at me knowing me more than myself...
