I had followed Harumi-kaichou's directions, and found myself standing in front of the dorm. I entered the building, and walked into a couch area with tables — maybe for studying, or talking with your friends.
There was a staircase on the other side of the room. I made my way over to it and went up.
I arrived at a new floor, and there was a long corridor with doors — most likely people's rooms. My room was number 58, and the door closest to me had the number 36. Since the stairs came up right in the middle of the corridor, there was two ways to go. When I looked to the right and read the door numbers I saw that they were decreasing — so I took a left instead.
I arrived in front of room number 58 after a minute or so of walking, and knocked on the door. At first no one answered, but then a girl who was quite a bit taller than me opened the door. The expression she held was a mix between monotonous and slight surprise, like she wasn't used to someone being at her door.
She had blue, medium length hair, and her bangs were covering the majority of her left eye.
-Hello! My name is Yumehara Minako, and I just transferred here today. It seems I'll be rooming with you, I said politely and tried to smile, but she was staring me down so it became difficult.
-Sure, come in. I'm Aoi Hana, she said in a bored tone and left the door open for me. I walked in and noticed that the room was a little bit messy, with clothes on the bed and deskchair.
-It's nice to meet you, Aoi-san, I said and closed the door behind me. She was lying on her bed, reading some astronomy magazines.
-Just call me Hana, she said.
-Okay, Hana-chan. Then call me Minako, I said with a smile. Her cheeks were tinted slightly pink at the 'chan', but she brushed it off. My side of the room was pretty much untouched.
I started to pack up my stuff. There was a desk in the middle that I assume we were sharing, so I put down my notebooks and a framed picture of Nozomi, the other girls, Coco-san, Natts-san, and I that we managed to take before I left. I stopped packing up for a moment and just looked at the picture.
-Who are they? Your siblings? Hana-chan asked me. I hadn't noticed that she'd been observing me a little.
-Not really — the girl beside me with short magenta hair is my twin, the rest are just friends, I explained and looked at her. She was looking at the picture for a few more seconds then continued to do what she was doing before. I packed up the rest of my stuff and decided to clean the room.
I collected all of her clothes and folded them into a pile. After that I put all her astronomy magazines in one pile, so that they weren't scattered everywhere. I picked up all the ones on the floor and on her bed, except the one she was reading, — but when I picked up the ones on the desk, something fell out and landed on the floor. I put the pile of magazines down on the desk and picked up what fell out.
It was a Precure magazine.
-"Precure magazine, learn everything you want to know about the Precures", I read out loud. Hana-chan's head immediately snapped in my direction. On the cover was a smiling Cure Dream. I opened it and looked through the pages.
-D-Don't look at that! Hana-chan yelled with a crimson blush on her cheeks.
-You like the Precures? Well, many do so there shouldn't be anything to be embarrassed about, I said to her as she snatched the magazine from my hands.
-Well, it doesn't fit my character to like them.. She said quietly and looked away, still blushing.
-Who cares if you think it doesn't fit your character, you should enjoy the things you like, I said and smiled at her. She looked a bit surprised over what I'd just said.
-So, do you have a favourite Precure? I asked her.
-Well, I think I like Cure Aqua the most, then in second place Cure Rouge, then in third place... maybe Cure Hope.., She said and looked even more embarrassed. I became surprised and made a surprised expression. When she noticed I looked surprised she looked at me with a questioning look.
-What is it? You look so surprised. Don't like my choices or something? She asked me with an annoyed face.
-No, I just was a little surprised that Cure Hope was your third favourite.., I said.
-Well, she is all over the Internet and has become very popular since she appeared a few weeks ago, Hana-chan said.
-Y-yeah, I guess so, I said and continued to do what I was doing before.
Hana-chan must think I'm strange now, since I was surprised by Cure Hope being her third favourite. I mean, anyone would be surprised if they chose you in their top three favourite, but still, Cure Hope has been a internet sensation – just like how Nozomi and the others were when they first appeared – because she doesn't have the same outfit as the Precure 5, she is another pink Precure, she can purify Kowainas and appeared way later than Dream and the others.
I was just done tidying up the magazines, and looked around. There wasn't anything to clean up anymore so I sat down on my bed, not knowing what to do.
-Why do you not have a roommate? I asked her to make the awkward silence go away a bit.
-She graduated, she answered shortly.
-So you can have a roommate who's in a different year? I asked her.
-Yeah, what year are you in? She asked me.
-Second year, what about you? I asked her. She looked a little surprised for a second.
-Third year for me. I'm surprised that you're a second year, you look like a third year. Basically, you look older than you are, she said.
-You think so? It's only a year's distance. You should see my sister, she can act like a little kid sometimes, I said with a sweatdrop.
-Your sister? How old is she? Hana-chan asked.
-She's younger than me by 4 minutes, I answered.
-Well.. That's pretty strange, considering you're twins, she said. I looked at the time and it was around lunchtime.
-I think I'll go and get us some lunch, I told her and stood up.
-You're getting me lunch too? She asked like she wasn't used to people doing stuff for her.
-Of course, you're my roommate after all, and we will be spending a lot of time together, right? It would be rude of me too if I just came back with nothing for you, I answered her and saw that she looked surprised and a little happy, but was trying to hide it.
-I'll get going then, I said and walked out of our room, and closed the door after me. I thought I also heard a whisper saying "thank you" before I closed the door.
