Sisters of Destiny: Old School

Shiho Hoshizora: Seeing Stars

Today, Jack can be found on the roof, simply dozing off despite the sun being practically over his head.

"Zzz... Bumblebees... Zzz." Jack snores as he continues to doze off. He's suddenly woken up by a strange buzzing noise, and when he opens his eyes, he comes face to face with a trio of big fat bumblebees who had most likely mistaken him for something to land on. "BUMBLEBEES!!!" Jack screams as he gets on his feet and bolts for the door. He quickly gets inside the building, shutting the door to stop the bees from getting in, and not looking where he's going he runs smack dab into someone and they quickly fall to the ground.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" The girl shouts. Jack realizes he's run into a girl with dark purple hair that just stops at her neck with two pink hairclips, and she has blue eyes, and they both get back on their feet to dust themselves off. "What happened?"

"A bunch of bees had landed on me and I made a break for it." Jack replies. "I'm deathly allergic to them..."

"Well, I guess I can't blame you for running. You didn't get stung did you?" The girl asks.

"Luckily no." Jack replies. "What's your name?

"I'm Shiho." The girl says.

"I'm Jack." Jack replies as the two shake hands. "What are you doing here?"

"The sun is just beginning to set, and I wanted to prepare because I like to do stargazing." Shiho explains. "Are you familiar with horoscopes much?"

"Kind of." Jack says. "I'm a Capricorn."

"I'm an Aquarius." Shiho replies. "I'll make sure the bees are gone if you want to head back out and do whatever you were doing." After she opens the door to make sure that the bumblebees that were chasing him have gone, Jack heads back outside and dozes off once more. "Wow, how is he doing this? Sleeping in broad daylight?"

"I'm not actually sleeping. I'm napping." Jack says, opening one eye. He continues to nap until the sun sets, and by then he's opened his eyes and joined Shiho in the stargazing. "It's really nice out here."

"It's the perfect weather to do stargazing, I tell you." Shiho says as they make out various constellations in the sky. "So what do you do when you're not at the academy? Whenever I'm not doing this I'm out doing volleyball stuff and-" Jack stiffens at the question but loosens up after he notices her worried face. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, it's just that I've never been asked that question before." Jack replies as they continue stargazing. "I don't really do much I guess. I'm not part of any clubs, and I'm seen either still here or at home when it comes to after class. There have been a few times where I would sleep at the academy for the whole night and then wake up wondering why I was even there. Of course I take care of myself, but those are the few times that I may accidentally get carried away with things and well... That happens."

"Oh." Shiho says. "You know, I feel so comfortable. Looking out, gazing at the stars, makes you wanna just sleep on the roof doesn't it?"

"You know, you're right, it does." Jack chuckles. "I wonder what our senseis would say if they found us like this."

"I don't know if they'd go up here, but I'm pretty sure they'd have a field day with us when class starts." Shiho laughs. "But who cares? This is perfect weather." An hour passes by, and all the stargazing is starting to make Jack's eyes heavy.

"I dunno about you, but I'm gonna-" Jack slowly trails off as he realizes that Shiho has fallen asleep. He sighs as he heads into the now empty academy to try and find a blanket to drape over her.

Jack's thoughts: She seems like an interesting person, one you would just love to get to know better. If I were any ordinary student I would have fallen asleep right next to her but I'm no ordinary student.
