CHIYO WASN'T A FAN...












of amusement parks, as she preferred somewhere more serene, like museums. hence, she offered to watch everybody's things while they mounted on various exhilarating rides that seemed to drop sixty feet into hell — from the girl's perspective at least.

"we can't just leave you alone here", maki argued, even though chiyo was fine being by herself.

     "I can stay. I don't like any of these rides anyways", megumi offered.

     "oh, you don't have to do that to yourself, fu—"

     "alright, great! we'd all feel much better if fushiguro was with you. ya know, he's a pretty reliable guy", yūji proudly stated.

the rest scurried off, with sukuna casting the duo one last glance, as chiyo was now left alone with megumi.

"aoki-senpai, do you want to take a seat on that bench over there? it's probably more comfortable than just standing here with all their bags and such", megumi pointed out.

"r-right, good call!", chiyo weakly smiled, taking a seat beside the first-year, as her social anxiety kicked in.

'I've never directly talked to fushiguro-kun before...he's always pretty quiet compared to the other first-years...'

the two stayed in an uncomfortable — for chiyo at least — silence, as screams and curses could be heard whilst the cart looped upside down twice in a row.

attempting to take another step forwards from leaving her shell, chiyo had asked how megumi's day was going.

"good I guess. and you?"

"I'm doing fine myself", chiyo answered.

     and that was it. that was the end of their conversation.

     internally cringing at herself, she wondered what else there was for her to talk about.

     "ah, by the way, when are basketball tryouts?", chiyo questioned.

     "I believe it's july 21st, a thursday. and results come out the very next day", megumi replied.

     "oh, well...a-are you nervous?"

     "not really", megumi honestly responded, "if anything, I'm more concerned for yoshino".

     "why's that?"

     "he originally wanted to join the film appreciation club, but was swayed by yūji's request of wanting all his friends to tryout with him for basketball".

     chiyo hummed, as she finally lifted her head to glance at megumi.

     "so is that the reason why you're trying out too? because yūji-kun asked you to?"
