The two enter the classroom. Rengoku's and Uzui's face immediately lit up as they saw Shinobu

"Shinobu! Completely forgot you were going to be here!" Rengoku said with his usual ecstatic tone "You look good as usual!" Shinobu smiled

"Thank you, Rengoku-san. You also look dapper" Shinobu said before looking at Uzui

"Shinobu, you did flamboyantly enough in Grade 9 I assume for you to be here!" Uzui said making Shinobu nod

"Also nice to see you, Mitsuri! Your hair is amazing as usual!" Rengoku stated "Nice to see you too, Rengoku! Your hair is also fly" Mitsuri said with a smile before taking the bag from Shinobu's hand

"Here's your gifts, you two!" Mitsuri said making Shinobu looked at her, holding her arms out, expecting her gift

Rengoku and Uzui take the gifts that Mitsuri gave from her hands and examine them before smiling

"What a flamboyant gift!" Uzui said, looking at the sculpture of himself

"Yes! Truly an amazing gift!"Rengoku said, looking at the watch

"Why are you bringing out your hands, Shinobu?" Mitsuri teased before Shinobu glared at her

"Alright alright, here it is" Shinobu took the bag and grabbed its contents out

"Did you make this yourself?!" Shinobu asked, looking at the butterfly clips "Yes, I did" Shinobu smiled at the gift before storing them at her bag and hugging Mitsuri

The two break the hug before going to the Iguro who was at Muichiro's table

"Iguro!" Mitsuri hugs her boyfriend. Iguro had a mask on but it was obvious there was a smile behind it

"Hey Muichiro" Shinobu says with a smile "Why are you here?" Muichiro asks, looking far away

"Oh I got transferred here because of my grades, like you" Shinobu explains, fully knowing he would forget it anyway

"Here are your gifts!" Mitsuri said, pulling their gifts out from the bag. Iguro grabs it from her hand while Muichiro gets it after Mitsuri placed it on his table

"Thank you" Muichiro said as he took out the small cloud statues in the bag which he started to examine

"Thanks" Iguro says removing his black mask for the pink and green mask in the bag

"It's like my hair! So you'll be with me all the time" Mitsuri said with a smile. Iguro leaned in and removed his mask to kiss her forehead, making Mitsuri blush

"It's so nice seeing you two finally together" Shinobu said with a smile "Except it makes me feel lonely" She murmurs to herself before she turned around as she heard the door open

She sees an unknown face so she deduced that was Giyu. Giyu had a plain face as he walked to the corner seat and put his bag at the floor

Shinobu knew that he looked familiar but her memory of him was still hazy at best

Shinobu had a determined look before she was about to approach Giyu. She was halted though as Mitsuri held her wrist

"I'm going to talk to Giyu, Mitsuri" Shinobu said as she turned around "You promised to sit with me though so don't forget" she said making Shinobu nod

Mitsuri let go, prompting Shinobu to approach Giyu and sit beside him. Giyu was not phased by her presence though

"Hey, I'm Shinobu Kocho!" She said with a lively tone and smile "You can call me Shinobu" Giyu didn't notice her, slightly irritating Shinobu

"What's your name?" Shinobu asked, still using her lively tone even though she was slightly irritated "Actually I think Mitsuri has talked about you, are you Giyu?" Shinobu asked even though she knew his name, thinking it would make him notice her

"Since you're her friend, we should also get along" It seemed like this caught his attention since he turned to her, still with his deadpanned face though. Shinobu had an accomplished smile

"You're related to Kanae, right?" Giyu asked. Shinobu looked at him confused "You know Kanae?" Her sister has never talked about Giyu before so it startled her

"Who doesn't know Kanae?" Giyu brought up a good point making Shinobu awkwardly chuckle "You're right!" She said

"I'm her sister, I just got transferred here so I'm a bit younger" Shinobu explained before Giyu went back to looking away from her

"Why are you talking to me?" Giyu asked, making Shinobu chuckle "Well my sister said to befriend the people I don't know and you're the only one I don't know" Giyu nodded

"Then, Kocho, my name is Giyu Tomioka, call me Tomioka" Shinobu had a big accomplished smile as Giyu said his name

He is saying her last name, and telling her to use his last name. So they're still not yet casual but it's actually going better than she thought

"Nice to meet you Tomioka-san!" Shinobu said stretching her hand out, which Giyu ignored

"Now stop disturbing me" Shinobu had a startled look "Huh?" She thought she had broken through his cold shell already

Giyu ignored her again making Shinobu rapidly wave her hand in front of his face but he was still not phased

Shinobu had a vein popping out from her forehead in frustration before retreating from him and approaching Mitsuri

Mitsuri had a little laugh as she looked at the annoyed face of Shinobu

"I told you~" Mitsuri had a teasing tone "He's so cocky!" Shinobu exclaimed startling Mitsuri, it was not the response she thought she would get

"How?" Mitsuri asked, visibly confused "He doesn't talk to anybody because he clearly thinks he's above everyone" Shinobu said sternly

"Or he just doesn't like talking to anybody" Mitsuri deadpanned but Shinobu tuned her out

A/N: This chapter was supposed to be for next week but I felt like it was fine if it was published today
