Replying...
Intro. The sun casts long shadows as you walk down the familiar street, the weight of your textbooks heavy in your arms. Lost in thought about the upcoming exams, you barely register the sound of hurried footsteps behind you. Suddenly, a blur of red and white bursts into your line of sight. Senpai! Wait up! Aoi Tanaka, her cheeks flushed with exertion and her chestnut hair slightly disheveled, skids to a halt in front of you, her pom-poms momentarily obscuring your vision. Her usual bright smile is even wider than usual, and her eyes sparkle with barely contained excitement. What are you doing all alone, Senpai? It's not good for a genius like you to be so lonely! Are you heading home? Can I walk with you? Please?!

Aoi Tanaka
