You wake up to the sound of your alarm blaring on your nightstand, slowly blinking your eyes open you turn to the alarm. <p class="alarm"> 7:30 </p> Sending an irritated look to the clock you reach over to shut it off before rolling back into bed. Today may be the first day of the school year, but you did not want to get up yet. "I heard you shut your alarm off, get up and get ready for school, you're a second year now, you can't spend all day sleeping in." Wincing at your mother's voice you called back down to her, assuring her that you were getting up, before slowly rolling out of bed and heading dow the hall to your washroom. [[you look in the mirror]]

You go through your morning routine, getting ready for the day. You check the clock, <p class="alarm"> 8:15 </p> crap, class starts in 15 minutes, it takes you about 10 minutes to get to school. You haven't eaten yet, but if you take the time to get food, you'll end up late for class. [[Get something to eat|class begins 1]] [[Head to school without eating|class begins 2][$hunger = true]]

<span class="smaller"> [img[$capImg]] </span>

Your morning classes pass uneventfully and eventually the bell rings to signal that it is lunch time. <<if $hunger is true>> Your stomache growls loudly, and you realise that in your haste this morning you forgot to get your lunch from the fridge, you don't think you'll be able to concentrate on your afternoon classes with how hungry you are already. [[You head outside to the vending machines, hopefully there's something good to eat.|Vending Machine]] <<else>> You're glad you decided to eat this morning, or you would likely be famished by now. You grab your bag and search through it, looking for your lunch, when your search turns up nothing you realise that you must have forgotten to take it out of the fridge this morning. You ate breakfast so you aren't too hungry, you could just wait out the rest of the day, or you could go check the vending machines and see if they have anything good in them. [[Stay in the classroom, you aren't too hungry and you'll be fine for the rest of the day.|Lunch End 1]] [[Maybe you'll just take a look at the vending machines, see what they have|Vending Machine]] <</if>>

You quickly check you bag to make sure you have some cash on you, finding enough to get yourself a reasonable amount of food from the vending machines you head out to get something to eat. Luckily, there wasn't too many people milling about the vending machine today, so you were able to quickly get a few snacks to tide you over until dinner. You turned and were about to start heading back to class when you were stopped by someone calling out to you. "Ah, you there, wait please," Turning around you saw Kiyoko, the team manager for the school's VBC, and you knew right away what this was about. Last year she had tried recruiting a new manager for the VBC but hadn’t had any luck, as a third year this would be her last year to find herself a successor, she was likely asking anyone she found if they would take the position. “What can I help you with Kiyko?” She stopped in front of you, giving you a soft smile, tucking her hair behind one ear. “I was wondering if you are in a club already, and if not, would you be interested in joining the VBC, they’re a great team.” You gave her a smile in return before answering. [[“Unfortunately, I’m already part of a club, good luck finding a new manager though.”|vending machine 2][$fp.kiyoko += 1]] [[“Unfortunately, I’m already part of a club, but if I come across anyone who isn’t I’ll send them your way.”|vending machine 2][$fp.kiyoko += 5]]

Sitting at your desk you pass the time looking over your notes from your morning classes, you could already tell this was going to be a difficult year, classes would be harder, and club activities would be more involved this year. Speaking of club activities you heard a soft vibration come out of your bag, digging out your phone you saw a message from your club president. <div class="container"> <div class="message-blue"> <p class="message-content">Just a reminder, club meeting at 4:30 today, don’t be late :)</p> <div class="message-timestamp-left">SMS 12:37</div> </div> </div> You quickly typed out a reply, and almost immediately got a response <div class="container"> <div class="message-orange"> <p class="message-content">Sounds good, we’re going to be getting our assignments today, right?</p> <div class="message-timestamp-right">SMS 12:37</div> </div> <div class="message-blue"> <p class="message-content">Yep!

You decide that you don't want to skip breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day after all, so you quickly make yourself a piece of toast, quickly eating it before heading off to school. You arrive a few minutes late, unfortunately it's late enough that your homeroom teacher levels you with a glare for interupting class on the first day. Unimpressed with your excuse she tells you to get up earlier, and not to be late again. You take your seat and ready yourself for the day's lessons. [[Lunch Time]]

Deciding that there isn't enough time to grab some food you head to school, after all, you don't want to be late on the first day of the year. You make a mental note to pick up some quick breakfast items so that this doesn't happen again, or you'll need to start getting up earlier. You arrive at the school with a few minutes to spare, heading to your classroom you sit at your desk, awaiting the beginning of classes. [[Lunch Time]]

Kiyoko quickly thanks you before turning around and heading out, no doubt looking for anyone else that she could approach about joining the VBC. Giving her a small wave as she heads out you turn to head back to the classroom, deciding to eat lunch there as it was always quieter in the classroom. Your walk back to the classroom is uneventful, you pass by a few people you know, offering waves and smiles in return to theirs. Returning to the classroom you sit down to eat your food, slowly eating it while looking over your notes from your morning classes, you could already tell this was going to be a difficult year, classes would be harder, and club activities would be more involved this year. Speaking of club activities you heard a soft vibration come out of your bag, digging out your phone you saw a message from your club president. <div class="container"> <div class="message-blue"> <p class="message-content">Just a reminder, club meeting at 4:30 today, don’t be late :)</p> <div class="message-timestamp-left">SMS 12:37</div> </div> </div> You quickly typed out a reply, and almost immediately got a response <div class="container"> <div class="message-orange"> <p class="message-content">Sounds good, we’re going to be getting our assignments today, right?</p> <div class="message-timestamp-right">SMS 12:37</div> </div> <div class="message-blue"> <p class="message-content">Yep!

Your afternoon classes pass uneventfully and you begin packing up your stuff when you hear the final bell ring, immediately heading off to the club room. [[You're one of the first members to arrive and start helping the president, a third year girl named Akari Kobayashi, get things set up, though she doesn't let you touch any of the items for the lottery drawing.|club starts]]

You set your stuff down by an empty desk and take a seat, pulling out your notepad and waiting eagerly for the meeting to begin. Back in your first year you had been uncertain about what club to join, there were plenty of things you enjoyed, but you hadn't been sure about whether or not you really enjoyed them enough to want to devote your spare time to them. Eventually you had stumbled across the school paper, and it had seemed interesting, you enjoyed writing, and it would be fun to learn more about the school through reporting on it. You had learned a bit later that first years didn’t get to cover any club events, just general school events, and that first years were mainly in charge of editing and helping with the layout. But that didn’t bother you, it just mean that you would get to learn how everything worked, and that in the years to come you would get a specific club to report on. You had worked diligently, and eventually you had been assigned the student opinions section where you got to receive and respond to things that other students had sent it, it had been more work, but you had enjoyed it. You were almost sad knowing that you wouldn’t be in charge of the opinions section again this year, but you were too excited about what club you might get assigned. You wanted an interesting club that you could write the best articles about, your goal this year was to get a front page story, you knew it would be a difficult feat, there are plenty other club members after all, but you wanted at least one front page story this year, and you were prepared to put in the work to get it. “Alright everyone, lets get started,” The voice of your club president, Akari, startled you out of your thoughts and you quickly shifted focus to the front of the room where the president stood, a nondescript box off to the side. “As you all know in the next few weeks we will be getting some new members, those members will be in charge of editing and the layout of the paper, as many of you were last year. They will be the backbone of the paper and support all of us in our endeavour to be the best school paper we can be!” Some scattered clapping and cheers followed Akari’s remarks. She waited for them to die down before continuing. “All of us here, second and third years will be getting club assignments, everyone will cover a different club and it is our goal to make each and every club shine, we want the whole school to know how amazing all of our clubs are here.” A few cheers went out again, and she took a moment to pause and turn to her side to retrieve the box that had been sitting next to her. “Now I know in previous years club assignments were made based on seniority, and popular clubs were always covered, while some less popular clubs were forgotten about, this year, in an attempt to make everything more fair and give more clubs a spotlight, everyone will be drawing a slip of paper from this box to see what club they will be covering, leftover clubs will be given to anyone who feels they can take an extra assignment or, given to first years who prove they can handle it.” “Now then, since this is random the order that we go in doesn’t really matter, is there anyone that wants to draw first?” Sever hands shot up and Akari quickly waved them all over, letting them decide there order before picking lots. One by one club members went up to draw lots, there was quite a bit of excitement when the soccer and basketball teams were drawn. You were so caught up in everyone’s excitement and enthusiasm that you almost missed your name being called. “$pcName, it’s your turn, come on up and draw your assignment.” You quickly stood from the desk you were at and made your way to the front of the room, stopping just in front of the box that was held out to you. “There’s still plenty of clubs left, hope you get an exciting one!.” You took a moment, and then reached your hand into the box, taking a small slip of paper out. You carefully unfolded it to see what was written: <p class=”handwritten”> Boy’s Volleyball Club </p> [[This was going to be an interesting year.|end day 1]]
