Honest Hearts
....
She's staring pretty intensely
Did I do something wrong?
Is she angry with me?
Um...this is getting very scary-"You're a weirdo" "e-eh?!" Umbra did not expect that, he looked at the girl who was named Tsuki apparently, she looked to have toned down her aggressive aura in favor of a more... neutral one, which Umbra took in appreciatively but was utterly confused.
"W-....what do you mean?"
"Look around" Tsuki said, looking around herself "even before people are born they know to head into groups they're comfortable with, cliques, close friends-"
"Cliques?"
"Social groups, basically people that- eh~ fit your life style"
"Oh" Umbra said, he still didn't get it but it seemed simple enough he'd learn later, Tsuki shook her head.
"Basically it's natural for a bunch of people to get together and act like family, but they're super prejudice against outsiders, and guess where we're sitting" Tsuki said, patting the table "the losers table, so whenever they look at you, they think 'loser'" she said, squinting her eyes at the hurt Umbra "best leave before the name sticks...'Umbra'" Tsuki said with abit of venom to scare them off...Umbra looked hurt and was really considering it "consider this- thought for food, trust me you'll be thanking me"
"...well- if we're 'losers'...then that's a group in it's own r-right?"
"...what are you-"
"We can be our own c-c-click!" He mispronounced 'Clique' but was super into the idea....Tsuki just looked at him like he was stupid.
"... whatever, your choice I guess" Tsuki said, huffing as she looked about, bored already and uninterested as Umbra huddled up again, now feeling awkward as Tsuki ignored him, and deciding he shouldn't bother her anymore than he has.The bells rang once more, everyone started piling out of their cramped long tables and placing their empty trays onto a rack which was being picked clean by lunch lady's and back to the kitchen to be washed.
Umbra walked down the corridor, rubbing his arm awkwardly as the line of kids walked about, chatting as he drifted over to Tsuki instinctively "... dude" Tsuki simply said sternly, seeing him being all awkward... actually more importantly too damn close "personal space" "ack- sorry!" Umbra back up while following her "...what are you doing?"
"I haven't been in a place like this before...I think?"
"You...think?"
"I don't know... please let me stand by I promise I won't get in your way"
"...fine, but you better hold that promise" Tsuki said, not feeling the energy to argue otherwise with this weirdo as they walked down The Corridor with some luggage this time around....
"Seriously are you just going to be following me around like some lost puppy?" Tsuki said abit annoyed as Umbra flinched, looking back at him "what? Expecting a free tour?"
"... what's a tour?" Umbra asked
"..." Tsuki just gave a face that yelled 'are you kiddin' me?' and face palmed "... whatever dumbass...well fine, I'll give you a first class tour"Library: "this is the library"
"Woah" Umbra said, enamored with the surroundings as Tsuki shook her head "this is where nerds come to cry and absorb books at a uncomfortable speed" Tsuki said before moving on.
