Rika nodded to the black haired boy as he introduced himself. "Naganori Tadayoshi...Naganori Tadayoshi...Naganori Tadayoshi..." She said it aloud three times, trying to memorize it. She was never any good with names. "Well, nice to meet you Naganori!" She began to stare at him a moment, and looked up and down at him. Just as she looked like she was about to say something, one of Tim's awkward stutters cut her off.

"Um... I'm Tim..."

Rika looked over to him and smiled. She was glad that he was talking at least. "Nice to meet you Tim!" After she introduced herself, she furrowed her eyebrows a moment. [i]Hrm, Tim is it... I wonder if his last name is Smith? Actually, is Tim short for Timothy?[/i] She continued to ponder on mostly trivial things, drumming her fingers. Until the new black haired boy broke her out of her thoughts.

"Are... you two friends?" Naganori asked, looking at the two of them.

Rika was about to chime in, but to her surprise Tim answered first. "Um... well... uh... I dunno... um... I mean... we just met... but... um... eh?!" She chuckled a bit at his mess of an answer. Though, feeling a little sorry for Tim, she picked up the question. "Naw, we're both new here. This is my first year here, same with Tim." She gestured to him as she said his name. "Oh yeah by the way guys, what do you think of our homeroom teacher?" She asked the other two, with genuine interest as to what they thought.
