I am 15 years old now we just celebrated my birthday last month and currently we are at odawa strain station.
"Passenger for Hokane, Kanagawa bound to Tokyo pls board the train, we will leave in 5 minutes" We heard the announcer said so I look at my parents my mom obviously has tears in her eyes since this is the first time that I'll be away from them. Dad just has a proud look on his face though.
Seido has a dormitory for their players so I had to leave home for it since Hokane is far from Tokyo.
When I told them about my decision to go to seido 6 months ago which is far from Hokane my mom asked me if I was sure about it so I answered them with determination on evident on my light brown and blue eyes. Both of them supported me after that just like always they've done throughout my life, they support whatever decisions I have and I'm very grateful for it as always.
"I have to go now mom, dad." I said to my parents and hug them both. I'll really miss them for sure.
"You have to update us always Jiro, remember everything that I told you." Mom said to me for I don't know how many times this is, not that I'm complaining about it.
"Go and wrecked havoc at Tokyo brat! Hahaha make us proud" Dad told me on which I just laughed as he received a glare from mom.
"I will" I replied to them and hugging them once again. I'm really blessed to have a family in this life.
We heard the announcer again saying for people to board the train so I immediately walk my way inside to it and find a seat. This going to be a long ride so I just put my earphones and play some music on my phone to relax myself.
While listening to music I can't help but think that I am really going to play baseball again. I'm trembling a little with excitement and anticipation.
I finally have taken another step towards my goals. This is just another begining for me, I continued my journey just like this to Tokyo with thoughts filled with baseball.

'SEIDO HIGH SCHOOL'
I've once again saw the big characters of the school name Infront of the school entrance. There's still not much students around since it's still spring vacation but us those that joined the baseball club was tasked to arrive this early for practice.
Seido high school is known for it's baseball club. I still remember when the first time I've gone here with dad to visit the school grounds to check it out and also to process my admission to the school I was still shocked seeing the facilities and fields. Highschool baseball is not this extravagant in LA where I lived in my past life.
Seido baseby club has 3 fields in total, for the 1st string, 2nd string, and 3rd string each. There's also an indoor gym where players could train physically if they like. They have complete set of pitching machines and other various baseball equipments too. Just for this I'm already happy that I've pick out Seido when choosing during that night.
As I entered the school grounds I made my way towards the baseball club office while dragging my luggage with me where I signed my club registration with my dad last time, I have to get my uniform there and get my dormitory number where I'll be staying for the rest of my highschool days.
"Come in" I heard when I knock the door of the office so I opened the door and welcomed myself inside. There I saw a woman and a slightly fat short old man sitting.
"Hello I'm Tsubayoshi Jiro, I would like to get my uniform and also know my dormitory number" I said politely. I remember these people since they're the one who is here to process my club application last time but I forgot about their names. I'll be staying here for a couple of years so I'll probably know them enough to not forgot their names in the following days to come.
The woman check and look for my assigned room number while the other guy look at the pack of uniforms trying to find my name on it.
"Oh you're assigned to room 308 Tsubayoshi, you already know where the dormitory right?" She asked on which I just nod.
"Just go in the third floor, room 308 is located there your roommate is our vice-captain Isashiki Jun and Higasa Shouji which is a 2nd year" the woman explained on which I just mumbled a "thank you" towards her, after that the other guy on which I said is short and a little fat walks up to me carrying a folded 3 pairs set of uniforms.
"This is your uniform Tsubayoshi we're pleased to have you, work hard!" He said to me handing out my uniform which I accepted and said my thanks to him.
"Before you go, practice starts early tomorrow so be sure to don't be late"
"Yes! Thank you very much." I replied bowing slightly. Then I excuse myself to go outside where there I put the uniform inside my luggage bag. After that I've picked up my baseball bag that I bring with me since all of my baseball equipments is inside it and started dragging my luggage.
After walking for awhile and looking for it in the 3rd floor I've finally found it. I stood Infront of a door that has a big 308 number on it then there's a placard that has my name on it together with my 2 roommates.
I knocked on it but no one is answering so I tried opening the doorknob and I discovered that it's open and there's no one inside currently. So I welcomed myself inside and I saw a single bed and another one which is a double deck bed inside.
I noticed that there's things scattered on the single bed and the upper bed of the double deck so I walk towards the vacant one and placed my own things on it and sat there myself.
While I'm in the middle of unpacking my clothes and stuffs the door opened and there I saw 2 people walk in. One of them is bald and the another one is a blond guy that has a beard 'I like it,they have their own unique style' I thought to myself.
"Hello I am Tsubayoshi Jiro, First year nice to meet you senpai" I said introducing myself to them, I know that this bearded guy is a regular at Seido since I've seen him when I did my research before but I don't really have an impression to the bald guy.
I was taller than both of them, they're both around 180cm while I am already 184cm tall in this life.
"Tch we got a pretty boy hah" I heard Isashiki senpai said.
"Shoo sho" My bald senpai said too on which I really don't understand.
So I look at them with a smile when I heard that, I'm already used to hearing that. They look stunned when I look at them, I wonder why.
"SHOOO!" Higasa senpai yelled which shock me so I look at them curiously since I don't know what's going on anymore.
They have shocked expression while looking at me while Higasa senpai is pointing something on my face so I touch my face to check and ask him
"What's wrong?"
"Your eyes!" Isashiki senpai said pointing at my eyes. Now I get it, I always get this kind of reaction when people saw my eyes for the first time so I'm used to it.
"Ahh I was born with this, I'm Heterochromia" I said.
"Hetero- what? Never mind. That's cool ! This is the first time I've saw someone have different eye colors. Damn I'm jealous"
"Sho Shoo!"
They said and I still don't understand what's Sakai senpai is saying.
"Ahh by the way I'm Isashiki Jun 3rd year your vice captain, I'm Center fielder that bats and throws right. This is Higasa Shouji, 2nd year he's a first string substitute for left fielder." Isashiki senpai said introducing himself and Higasa senpai as I only heard the signature 'sho sho' reply of Higasa senpai on which I still don't understand.
"I'm a pitcher" I just simply said to them. It's pretty peaceful after that as I started to finish unpacking my clothes putting it in a vacant cabinet.
Just like that we spend the rest of the night talking about baseball and nothing else but baseball.
