Yoshino heard the short beeping of her cellphone letting her know she had received a new mail and quickly pulled it from her jacket pocket. She flipped it open long enough to scan the message from her sister and type her own reply.
I'll be there.
She released a sigh as she shut her phone, rolling her eyes as she put it away. It wasn't that her sister annoyed her, it definitely wasn't that, but she behaved as though she were Yoshi's mother away from home. As they were biological sisters, Nani could be quite overprotective at times and typically made the pink haired girl a lunch for school every day. She was that dedicated to making the younger girl feel welcome and happy.
It was exactly with this thought in mind that she'd sent her short but to-the-point text. It didn't let her sister down and promised that she'd be present, something that didn't change up much. Yoshino often put her sister's feelings before her own, after all.
She raised her head and looked around, not having realized she had paused just to read and reply to the message, and continued on her way. Yoshino crossed the street as the turn to school was coming up but almost stepped on a book.
"What...?" She asked as she turned her head around to search the general area but Kenji was nowhere in sight. She'd seen this book in his possession quite regularly since she'd been in the same class as him for quite some time now. For the second time in the last few minutes, Yoshino sighed as she bent and picked the book up before looking at her watch.
"I'm late?!"
This irritated her as she placed the book in her bag and, gripping the bag tightly in her hand, sprinted the rest of the way to school. Having grown up learning that tardiness was extremely impolite, Yoshino was the type to absolutely hate being late. Which might be why she only bowed and nodded to the teacher as she entered the room before she found her regular seat near the back and beside the windows. She ignored her family members, as she often did at school, mainly due to her frustration with herself.
