Snippet #2276056

After resting for a short time and building up some energy and strength, Yumko sat up and stretched. Her doctor told her it was important to stretch her limbs as much as possible, so that she wouldn't become stiff in her chair from sitting all day. She stood slowly, twisting on the ball of her foot and plopping directly into her chair. She sighed, taking her ribbons from her bag and tying her twintails back up, though it was difficult since her mother wasn't there to help her.

Finally having them up and tied neatly, she wheeled out of her room, not bothering to lock it. She would only lock it if she were inside, and there really wasn't anything inside worth stealing. She kept all of her valuable things at her mother's house. Wheeling herself out of the dorms, she decided on checking out the rest of the school, having only been able to see a small section of it in a blur, and some of it with Alex's help.

Yumiko wheeled her chair into the main building, listening to the gentle chatter of passing students, the clacking of canes and crutches on the tiles, and the sound of... wait, was that a dog? She looked up curiously, strolling towards the sound and peeking into the ward to see a girl with beautiful long brown hair, a dog on a leash that was around her wrist, and a darkhaired boy with one arm in a sling. Yumiko noticed the dog was an aide, understanding the need for her.

"Do you like music?"

Yumiko heard the blind girl ask him, noticing they were a bit unaware of her presence. 'Better leave now before I come off as intrusive,' She thought, slowly backing away and heading down towards the library. She pushed herself in, looking around and picking up a book. It was one of her favorites from her childhood, a smile gleaming on her face as she picked it up, then rolling over to a group of beanbags and practically jumping on to one. Maybe she should have thought that over now as her chair rolled away from the propulsion.

"Oops.." She muttered, sighing as she sat up and began reading. Someone would hopefully push it back in her direction. If not, she could always askthe librarian.
