[b]Friday, April 10th, 11:56PM - Old School Building[/b]

Much to Shiori's irritation, the group of people gathered in front of the building didn't show any sign of leaving anytime soon. Why had so many people turned up for [i]this[/i], anyway? Scowling slightly, he slunk to the back of the group, obviously not wanting to interact with the others at all. Although he was tempted to go off on his own, he admitted to himself he [i]was[/i] rather curious what they were up to. Maybe there was some sort of... mass expedition he was missing out on. Yes. That had to be it.

There weren't any other third years there either, much to his disappointment. Shiori looked the group over, but none of them seemed to catch his attention in particular. Only the girl who had been hiding in the bush seemed to stand out from the crowd. (Of course, he was still wondering why she was [i]in[/i] that bush in the first place...) As he overheard some of the others chatting about 'exploring', he realized he was starting to regret this decision. It was much too late to turn back now, but he decided he [i]really[/i] didn't like this group. [i]They're not even third years,[/i] he thought scornfully.

"Idiots," Shiori said in an irritated tone of voice. Obviously, he hadn't intended to say this very loudly, but he found his voice accidentally slipping and ended up saying it louder. [i]Much[/i] louder.
