"At least you're roomed with Kurokawa-Senpai and Yoichi-kun."
Hikaru was once again awed by Reika's bright and bubbly nature. Her friendly tone made up for the horrible welcome that Hikaru had received earlier, and it was almost completely forgotten. Hikaru tilted her head in confusion, as if she was supposed to know who those two were. Hikaru wasn't the brightest crayon in the box obviously, but in her defense she didn't know anyone's name aside from her attacker's and Reika's herself. However, that fact was short lived.
"I didn't get the chance to introduce myself earlier, but hey."
Olive green eyes blinked when the blond male turned around abruptly. She wasn't sure why he suddenly felt the need to introduce himself, but Hikaru did her best to remain calm. Suddenly she was very aware of his bloody lip, but said nothing, as it wasn't any of her business to. Besides, if she said something it would alert him that she had been looking at his lips, and since she was dressed as a dude and pretending to be a boy, that probably wouldn't sit well with the blond. Hikaru decided it was best to be as non-conflictive and as inconspicuous as possible if she wished to survive the year, "O-Ohayo.." Hikaru stated in a surprised manner, unsure of what else she could say. She accepted his handshake, squeezing his hand with firm confidence, but just enough to make a good impression, avoiding using too much pressure. She didn't want to come across as a challenge. He seemed to be an ally, so she tried to come across as one as well.
"I'm Yoichi Yamada, also known as the hottest guy you'll meet at this pretentious, overrated school."
Hikaru sweatdropped a bit at Yoichi's self proclaimed status, shaking her head a bit, "If I didn't know better I'd swear that you're coming on to me..." she stated in an equally teasing manner. Hikaru was equally disinterested with the lesson, but she at least attempted to jot down a few notes. She didn't understand the equatiom that the teacher was explaining, but Hikaru was sure that writing it down would be good practice and that someone else would be able to explain it to her later. Though she was immediately surprised when the blond male plopped his head down on the ebony haired girl's shoulder. A-Are they dating...? Hikaru thought to herself in the midst of her shock, finding it a bit difficult to believe that the two of them could be more than friends, but it would make sense, considering how quickly he had come to Reika's aid. Even if they WERE dating, it was none of her business, but imagining the two overly attractive people sitting before her as a couple was more than Hikaru could handle at that given moment. She wasn't prepared, and she was too intimidated by the possibility to even ask. She continued to jot down hit and miss notes to avoid looking suspicious, but she began to wonder how she would survive the year if she was sharing a dorm with the blond.. He seemed like the kind that totally disregarded the personal space of others... Will I really be able to keep him from finding me out..? Hikaru thought to herself, chewing on the edge of her pencil nervously as she glanced to Reika and Yoichi every so often, amazed that the teacher didn't even seem to care at all. Was this an every day thing between them? Typically Japanese girls were a little shy about such advances, were they not? Hikaru was in complete culture shock. Had she studied outdated material? These two didn't seem very conservative by Hikaru's standards.
Before Hikaru knew it, lunch time rolled around and she decided to roam the halls, to get used to her new school. She didn't know where to buy food from, so she figured she could just search until she found the right location... There wasn't a cafeteria, but she was hoping there would at least be some sort of vending machine. The lack of food in her stomach was practically killing Hikaru already and lunch had just begun. What good is my Japanese grandmother if she can't warn me about stuff like this..? I'm from Britain! I never had to pack a lunch before! Hikaru thought to herself irritated, but she was more frustrated with herself than she was actually angry with her grandmother. The only one she could truly blame was herself for being ill prepared, but being so far away from home it was simply easier to place the blame on someone else. She was already in extremely unfamiliar territory, and now it would be ages before she would see her grandmother again... This school life, it was already incredibly intimidating, especially now that she had such a cocky and flirtatious dorm mate. I'm doomed... Hikaru thought in a pessimistic manner, leaning against a wall in the boys bathroom, attempting to hide from her peers. The last thing she wanted was to look starved, lost, and lonely. However, Hikaru decided to go check out her dorm room since she had time to spare. Perhaps she would be able to work out some kind of game plan once she saw the dorm? If not, she'd at least pick the room closest to the bathroom. She made her way up the stairs until she met their floor, and the door. She used her Student ID card to get in the room, placing her bags in the room nearest the bathroom that she would now share with Yoichi and Kurokawa. With time to kill and no lunch to eat, Hikaru began setting up her room, putting clothes away in her closet and dresser, and making her bed neatly. Hikaru flopped on the mattress, feeling a bit feverish after it was all said and done, so she decided to take a little nap. One little nap would not hurt, would it? Her entire room was furnished now, after all. How many other students could say they accomplished that already?
