Yumi turned to the first boy, who had just spoken up. He's definitely an upperclassman, Yumi thought. But that was all she generally knew of the students at this school. They rarely see her, and she them. But compared to the other boy with the look on his face, this one seemed friendlier as he smiled at her. Yumi had to return the smile.
"Rumor has it they're a paranormal research society." Yumi gestured to the door. "I'm a potential member, I guess." she shrugged.
Yumi had the feeling that this boy wasn't particularly interested in the club idea. She wondered what his reasons were for being there. Could it be he's dealing with a similar problem I have? But she hardly wanted to present herself as weirder than she already has. What kind of person carries a sword around and joins paranormal clubs?

Yumi observed as he started playing with his soccer ball. He's quite good. Certainly, the boy was agile and confident with the ball. Which makes his presence before the clubroom all the more intriguing. She decided to introduce herself.

"My name is Yumi Kitano, class 1-B. What's your name?"
