Ray was excited and a bit nervous. It was his first day at Hope's Peak Academy.

He saw Nagito, who looked as nervous as he felt. 'Hi, I'm Ray!' he said.

Nagito smiled back. 'I'm Nagito. Nice to meet you, Ray!' They entered together.

The school was big and full of students. Ray and Nagito stuck close together.

'This is our classroom,' said Nagito, pointing to a door with a hopeful heart.

Inside, kids were laughing and talking. Ray felt a warm feeling inside.

Their teacher, Ms. Yukizome, greeted them. 'Welcome, students of hope!'

Ray and Nagito found seats next to each other. The desks were shiny and new.

Ms. Yukizome asked everyone to introduce themselves. Ray went first, feeling brave.

After introductions, they played a name game. Laughter filled the room.

'Let's help each other to grow,' said Ms. Yukizome. Ray and Nagito nodded.

At the end of the day, Ray felt happy. He had a new friend and a new beginning.
