Character(s): Mayumi Yoshida & Takuma Amori
Time: 11:30 A.M.
Location: Courtyard


The icy weather was killing her. That morning, Mayumi had tugged on a dark black pair of tights under her uniform skirt and socks, an extra sweater and had nearly worn a pair of gloves, as well, but thought better of it -- it really wasn't that cold, and Mayumi would look ridiculous if she walked in to her classes wearing gloves of all things.

She shivered again, clutching her rapidly-cooling coffee in her hands and glaring at the students kissing on the bench she had planned to sit on. It took nearly everything she had to not storm up to them and dump her beverage on their too-close-for-comfort heads.

Then she wouldn't have any coffee and the bench would be wet. Huffing, Mayumi decided against doing anything of the sort, and turned her glare to the open notebook in her lap.

"Fucking lovesick idiots," she tried to sound angry, but jealousy was radiating off of her.

Sitting on her jacket on the ground like she had been for almost half an hour now, Mayumi had spent the majority of that time scowling at different people and things around her instead of attempting to write anything down.

Her earbuds were in her ears again, her feet tapping to some ridiculous British-sounding rap song that she wasn't even sure she liked at all, and her hands still wrapped tightly around her cup. The dark-haired girl began to nod her head in time with the song.

I get this writer's block,
it comes as quite a shock,
And now I'm stuck between
a hard place and the biggest rock,

The girl smiled at her lap, still feeling incredibly jealous of -- annoyed at -- the fuckheads smooching on the bench about twenty-five feet from her, but the lyrics twisting and tugging at her brain and pulling a smile out of thin air. Looking up again, her gaze swinging to the tree she sat under shedding its leaves and the grey sky, her breath caught in her throat.

Mayumi's eyes had landed somewhere far worse than the kissing couple... The dark haired girl looked up just in time to see the blonde boy -- she had learned his names was Hiro -- that Kakeru had kissed jogging past her. Mayumi's smiled faded quickly, the song she had been listening to changed at the least appropriate time.

Though she had told herself that she wasn't going to be upset or annoyed by that happening anymore -- and instead be happy for the younger boy that she considered a friend -- Mayumi couldn't help but let her heart clench a little. The only person she had expressed any interest towards since coming to this school had kissed a boy... it was hard to deny that that hurt a bit. And though she had told herself that she didn't need someone to like her like that for her to be happy -- or great at what she did --, Mayumi still felt out of the loop.

Ayame was dating Ren, Ren was dating Ayame, Kakeru was kissing a mildly attractive blonde boy, the two on the bench seemed like they were having a good time. Where did that leave her?

Right. Sitting on the ground, notebook open and ready to criticize the world around her, with a cup of too-sweet now-cold coffee. She chuckled once, her mask slipping itself back in to place. Behind that over-confident, never-breaking mask was the only place Mayumi really felt at home anymore. How sad is that?


(OOC: The song she's listening to is THIS. Also, I seem to have forgotten how to be Mayumi, so sorry for the repetitive, crappy starter!)

With hands shoved carelessly into his blazer's pockets, the blue haired teenager trudged onwards through the courtyard slowly. Takuma didn’t have any more classes for the day and he felt like going for a walk. How he ended up in the courtyard however, was beyond him. It was possible the reason Takuma was wandering aimlessly was because he was somewhat confused.

Takuma's day had gone exceedingly normal for once. He didn't have to stand up to any dipshits picking on younger kids. Nor, did anyone provoke him into a fight. Usually, the teenager got into fights practically every other day because of some asshole picking on someone else. However, so far this year Takuma had only gotten into three fights.

Which is why Takuma was slightly puzzled now. Was it because he was finally in his third year, that no one dared to provoke him? That wouldn't explain why he had yet to stumble across someone picking on another student. That in turn, made Takuma wonder if other students were just becoming nicer. Heaving a light sigh, he gave up on figuring out a reason.

Looking to the left, blue eyes landed on a couple heavily[/b] making out on a bench. Takuma felt himself shudder, not only from the chilly weather, but because of the sight. Sure, he was a passive person, and usually things like people displaying PDA didn't bother him. However, lately seeing two so intimately close made him slightly annoyed and jealous.

"Fucking lovesick idiots." At the sudden sound of a girl's voice, Takuma's head turned to the right. Sitting ten feet away on the ground was a girl with a notebook opened next to her. She obviously seemed to be sharing the same ill feelings towards the couple on the bench that Takuma was. Uncharacteristically, Takuma decided to walk towards the girl. She seemed... different from the other girls he's come across Aozora.

When the blue haired teen was several feet away, he swiftly took a seat next to the girl. Now that Takuma was up closer, he was able to get a better look at the girl's face, and he would admit she was very attractive. The stranger realized that he was sitting next to her, and she turned to look at Takuma. The moment their eyes met however, Takuma spoke bluntly.

"Is something wrong?"


(ooc; dfoigvneboigbverg. No, no! The starter was wonderful. Everything you write is wonderful. |: Sorry this took me a while. Writing Takuma for the first time was... odd. I hope it doesn't sound to weird.)

Mayumi felt a gust of wind next to her, and, jumping slightly, turned her head in the direction of the movement, stopping short when she realized who had sat next to her. The blue-haired boy she had spotted nearly a week ago in the hallway and had immediately -- as much as she hated to admit this -- swooned over in the comfort of her own dorm room. Their eyes locked, neither one of them moving to look away.

The girl barely heard what he had said around her music. "Is something wrong?"

Tugging the earbuds loose and trying to not look ridiculously shocked at the boy's sudden appearance, Mayumi stuttered, "Uh... n-no?" Then, mentally hitting herself, she added, "I feel like dumping my coffee on those two" -- she motioned toward the couple on the bench -- "and it's cold out, but nothing I can't handle, I guess."

She blinked, trying to come up with an appropriate name for the color of the boy's eyes -- finally landing on 'azure,' but that wasn't the point. He was sitting close enough to her that Mayumi could feel the slight warmth from him. The girl had to stop herself from moving closer to him.

Though she had told herself days ago that she wouldn't let her feelings effect her until she left Aozora, Mayumi found herself once again drawn to another person after only first meeting. She was convinced it was only performing arts students that his happened with, but, going to a performing arts school, she would never have the opportunity to test her theory.

"I'm Mayumi, by the way." The dark-haired girl said, offering him one of her near-frozen hands. "Mayumi Yoshida."


(OOC: sdkjfhsadkjh Thank you :3 And you didn't take long at all! I understand getting used to a new character, but he wasn't odd at all! Mayumi and I love him already. And sorry this is short -- I got sleepy :c )

"Uh... n-no?" The girl sitting next to Takuma seemed to realize what she said, because she immediately spoke out again. "I feel like dumping my coffee on those two-” Takuma watched as the girl motioned to the two teenagers on the bench, who were still heavily kissing. After her slight pause, the stranger continued. "And it's cold out, but nothing I can't handle, I guess."

Takuma nodded his head in an understanding type of notion. To say the least, he had no idea how to agree with the stranger with her feelings towards the duo on the bench and the cold weather. The blue haired teenager waited several seconds before deciding to answer the girl. “I see.”

There was silence between the two for several long seconds, and for once Takuma enjoyed it. Being able to bask in the presence of someone else was nice. On top of that, the girl sitting next to him intrigued him entirely. She didn’t seem to be frightened of him, which was nice for once. To finally meet someone who wasn’t afraid of him, especially considering this ’someone’ was a girl. At that thought, Takuma felt his stomach flip contently and his heart rate pick up slightly.

"I'm Mayumi, by the way. Mayumi Yoshida."[/I]

The blue haired teenager lifted a hand up to meet Mayumi’s outstretched one. With an incredibly small smile, his hand met Mayumi’s cold one. “Takuma Amori. It’s wonderful to meet you, Mayumi.” He let go of the dark haired girl's hand with a slight amount of reluctance. His hand instantly found it's way back into his blazer's pocket as he sat next to Mayumi. The passive teenager waited for Mayumi to respond, seeing as he had no idea at how to start an interesting conversation.


(ooc; Oh my god, I am so, so, so, so sorry that this is incredibly short and it took me forever to reply. I really have no good reason for taking forever, and I'm really, really[/b] sorry about that.[/s] Hopefully they'll cuddle soon because of the cold, neh? Oh god that was a horrible attempt at making you forgive me...)[/size]
