Scene 1: First Meetings

SCENE 1: FIRST MEETINGS

"What do you mean, that gloomy girl?"

Karina only laughs at the weird gesture of her friend, Yeji, who wildly waves towards the end of the classroom while being oddly discreet as well, only making Karina laugh all the more before looking at whatever direction Yeji was signing to.

Three years had passed in high school and this is the first time that she had stared at the girl who sat upon the far end of the seats as always (they did not really have a permanent seating plan), and she may have been too busy to care or did not even care at all.

"Isn't she a gloomy one? The kind you read in books where she's always alone, of some sort?" Yeji asks, and Karina frowns at such a stereotype but could not deny that it isn't at all true—especially as she had not seen anyone interact with that girl herself.

"Maybe she doesn't really fancy human interactions that much? Come on, no reason to be thinking so hard about it—"

"Karina-ssi?"

Karina could not even hear her move closer as the girl they were just talking about had already made her way towards her—well, she was really going out of the room—and picked up something that she had apparently dropped off the floor, which was actually her pen, and Karina could only smile as she stated at the girl's open hand.

"I take it this is yours?" the girl asks, and Karina could hear Yeji stifle a laugh as her friend picked up the pen in her hand, exchanging a tight lipped smile as the girl then made her way out of the room—

"Wait!"

The girl looked back into the room, wonder and curiousness all painted in her face as Karina looked really unsure as to why she even spit out that word, but then she managed another smile and did not really feel awkward with that—

"Your name's Winter, right?" She asks, and Winter smiles wide at that, Karina mentally rejoicing as she heard it right from the chattering in school about her—not that she's gossiping, anyways.

"Yeah. See you, Karina."

Yeji laughs as Karina sinks down her seat, her face unbelievably red while she clutches the pen she had dropped upon her right hand, holding onto it for god knows how long and drowning out every conversation until the bell rang, waking her up from her trance.

"...all I'm saying is, you should go to school earlier if you're going to copy all of Karina's work. Well, shall we go?" Ryujin, another friend of theirs, joined the conversation afterwards without Karina even noticing due to her trance, but she then starts tidying up her belongings as the conversations all ended.

"Rina, you coming? We're going to an arcade!" Yeji says, raising her hand up for the girl to hit, but she then pouted as Karina offered one of those smiles—it usually meant no, I can't join you in her terms, as per what Yeji had memorized from her friend.
