"Okay! I'll be patient! See you soon then!" Haruka replied and waved back.
"This time it went smoother. Much smoother." Haruka thought with a smile on her face. "I should stop judging people so quickly. He said he would spread the word! He even said he might give it a shot! He also agreed to do the challenge! It went much smoother indeed. Wait, isn't he the captain of the Basketball and Volleyball clubs? He won't have any time for this, but we'll see what the future holds!"
Haruka happily skipped to the fencing club's room. She looked around to see if there were any new members in the club.
"We have no new members in the club so far." Mei, the club president announced. "Did any of you at least manage to spread the word about the club?"
"I did! I did!" Haruka was waving her hand. Her cheeks started hurting from so much smiling. "I invited many people! Many, many, many! They all refused, but the club is getting more popular!"
"Sato..." Mei sighed. "Unless there are people who at least said they would think about it, don't waste your energy in pointless einthusiasm like you met Jurou Kawaguchi or something."
"Oh! He said he would spread the word and probably give it a shot!" Haruka said.
Silence filled the room for a moment.
"Sato, this isn't a matter of jokes!" Mei spoke.
"But that's the truth!" Haruka tried to explain, but none of the attention was on her any more. All she could hear were whispers that weren't even linked to the club.
"Hey, nice pendant, Chihiro!" A guy whispered to a girl.
"Thanks! Can you believe this beauty was at the lost and found? Whoever had lost this, doesn't deserve it!" Chihiro replied.
"WHAT?" Haruka's voice exploded in the room. "Gimmie that! Give it to me!" she tackled the pendant stealer.
The two girls were fighting over the pendant, until Haruka won the battle.
"Mei, can I be excused to return this stolen pendant?" Haruka's words were quickly shot.
"Alright, go..." the president sighed.
A loud and furious chase was shaking the hallways.
"Come back heeere!" Chihiro roared, almost reaching the one who took the pedant from her.
"Go away, you thief!" Haruka yelled back.
Both of the girls were tripping on their ways, or had trouble taking a turn, yet they quickly got on track as the chasing continued.
"Chihiro!... What you did... was wrong! I don't even know... how did you manage to take it!" Haruka yelled.
"It's none of your business! They probably... checked for it... while it was gone already!" Chihiro replied loudly.
