Aharen-san Wa Hakarenai season 2 episode 1 brief summary

Titled "A Transfer Student, Innit?", the first episode picked up where season 1 had left off - Reina Aharan and Raido began dating. As of their opening day of the second year of high school, they were now sophomores. The gang had reunited - Oshiro, Ishikawa, and Sato - with the homeroom teacher being Ms. Tobaru. Given the antics in season 1, Ms. Tobaru wanted to be wary of the new couple.
Later in the day, the students needed to change classrooms. But Aharen was fast asleep. Unable to wake her, Raido carried the smaller girl across his shoulders. After the class, they proceeded to have lunch, with Aharen making Raido's favorite meatballs. The day ended with no major event, and the next morning, on the way to school, Ishikawa revealed that a new transfer student was due.
As class began, the transfer was introduced - Riku Tamanaha. Following pleasantries, she took a seat ahead of Aharen and introduced herself to the tiny girl. A little odd and a whole lot of funny, introductions were successful, and Riku took an immediate liking to her, even inviting her to an after-school hangout. Leaving Raido behind, the girls went out for a drink.

Next, they visited a photo booth before calling it a day. Once Riku left, Raido caught up, and Aharen expressed that she didn't want the "past" to repeat. As Raido reassured her, the episode switched to Riku's room, where it is revealed that she was one of Aharen's childhood friends. They had grown apart in the past due to Aharen never knowing how to judge the distance between people.
The next day, Aharen voiced her concerns to Raido and thus decided to reciprocate Riku's energy. On the flip side, Riku was trying her best not to get over-excited. After school, Aharen took Riku to the arcade and for food before the two girls had a heart-to-heart. A brief flashback followed, the girls learning the truth about each other and quashing a misunderstanding to rekindle their friendship.
Next up, Oshiro approached Riku and asked her out for a cuppa. But the latter couldn't remember Oshiro's name. A few tense moments later, she learned that she had shared sixth grade with Oshiro and Aharen. The next day, the gang tried to incorporate Riku into a group lunch, but one embarrassing moment was all it took to send her running away red-faced.
