Naemini ate her food slowly. She was painfully aware of Rin staring her down. After swallowing the rest of her omelette she met his gaze with a scowl.
"If you wanna ask something, Okumura, then ask," she sighed. Rin jumped, realizing that he had been caught.
"I, uh--" he stuttered. "I don't know what you mean?"
Naemini snorted. "Oh please," she scoffed. "You've been leering at me almost all breakfast. What's on your mind?" Rin looked back down at his food for a moment, as if he were trying to figure out how to word his question. Taking a deep breath, a determined look came across his face as he looked up.
"Well... How come you're also in this dorm?" He inquired. "And why is Mephisto all buddy-buddy with you too?"
"For special reasons that are none of your business," she replied cheekily. Rin looked taken aback for a moment and she grinned. He was a nosey guy.
"Of course it's my business!!!" He snapped, causing Yukio who had just sat down to jump. "You're practically living with me!"
"Rin, please...," Yukio tried to get his brother to relax to no avail.
"I share a dorm with you," Naemini emphasized, "not a room." Rin stood abruptly from the table and towered over her. Naemini shrunk back and stared wide-eyed at him.
"Why do you do that?!" He snapped. "Do you like pissing people off?!"
"Do you like starting arguments with everyone who disagrees with you?" She retorted. Rin growled and brought his hand up, then slammed it on the table, causing her to flinch and bring her hands up in front of her face. Rin saw her reaction and gave her a confused look.
"Rin!" Yukio chided. "C'mon, you're scaring her! Knock it off!" Naemini didn't wait around for him to be scolded more. She stood and walked out the door without a word.
She was gonna be late for class anyways.

Naemini sat up front again, staring at nothing in particular. Bon walked in and gave her a nasty look. She didn't notice him until he shoved past her as he walked by. She shot a glare at him but didn't say anything. It wasn't a good time.
She didn't know why she was so upset... Well. She did, she just didn't understand how it managed to set her off.
Normally, she couldn't care less whether or not people liked her, or if they disagreed with her. It had never really mattered. But the fact she couldn't tell Rin or anyone else who she was, what she was, or why she was at True Cross bothered her.
She felt like a dog being restrained by a short leash and a tight collar.
"E-excuse me..."
A soft voice broke into Naemini's thoughts and she looked to see who it belonged to.
A girl with short but thick blonde hair, and blue eyes, stood in front of her. She wore a light pink kimono with floral patterns on it that covered everything but her neck and head. It was strange and kinda outdated... But she looked cute in it.
"What's up?" Naemini eventually replied.
"Uhm, I-I was wondering if you knew where Rin Okumura sits?" She managed to squeak. "I-if not, that's fine! I just, um..."
Naemini raised an eyebrow. Why was this chick so high strung? Especially over Okumura. Naemini smiled pointed to the opposite side of the three person desk. "You can sit there. Rin sits in the middle."
"Oh! Th-thank you, Ms...."
"Call me Naemini."
"Alright! M-my name is Shiemi! It's nice to meet you."
