Haruko only got to read the listing after a portion of the class dispersed - so did a few others, including a shorter boy who, for some reason, was wearing a turtleneck even though it wasn't exactly cold out. Weird. So she was in 2-C. Did she know any of the names? Didn't feel like it. At least then that meant meeting new people and maybe new friends. Alright, best to start meeting the people she'd share class with for the year. She abandoned the board, seeing no one else looking at the 2-C listing, and went at a quick trot to her classroom.

Soon, she noticed, a boy ahead seemed to be heading in the same direction she was going. She forced herself to pick up some speed to catch up to him - not that he was especially fast, just that he had gotten such a headstart on her. When she was a couple of feet behind him, slightly to the side, she spoke up. The halls were noisy, sure, but, at this distance, she was confident he could hear her.

"Hi there. You're also headed to 2-C, right?"
