Reiko was in the midst of stretching to reach her toes, back bending forward, a stressed, slightly pained expression on her face, though mercifully pointed away from the other group of students. As she was stretching, the familiar voice of her room mate entered her ears; she wanted to sit next to her, or rather near to her, and Reiko didn't have a say in the matter, Junko had already sat down. No words were exchanged between the two, Reiko made no indication to speak with her and Junko must've picked up on this since she remained silent as well. 

Reiko finished her stretches and sat back, placing her palms onto the grass. Already there was a hint of swear on her forehead; probably not a good sign. If she was tired from just stretching, how could she handle whatever physical activity was in store for class today. Reiko turned to give Junko a late nod of approval, letting her know that she didn't care where Junko sat. It was something, at any rate, or so Reiko figured. 

The sounds of a whistle entered the athletic fields. "If you are not on the athletic grounds, you are now late!" The voice following the whistle was harsh, loud, and there was a detectable hint of bitterness. In other words, the physical education teacher was here.

The tracksuit wearing staff member blew the whistle around her neck again and clapped her hands. 

"Welcome to physical education. I'm Himeji-sensei, next to me is Toshiya-sensei." The younger teacher gave a polite wave to the students before Himeji continued her introduction. "The purpose of physical education is to ensure you ladies keep a healthy, fit, and active lifestyle. To that end, we will be participating in a variety of sporting games and events as well as general fitness related activities. That is why Toshiya-sensei is here. Students will be given a choice on which activity to participate in. I will be running the athletic games, Toshiya-sensei will be facilitating over the students who just wish to run the track." 

After saying this, Toshiya-sensei split away from Himeji and stood off to the side on her own. 

"Any students who wish to run the track as well as partake in more overtly physical activities, stand over with Toshiya-sensei." At this, Reiko watched as some nameless students went over to Toshiya. Reiko shook her head. While she wasn't a fan of this class, games sounded more fun than just running for an hour or so, Even if Toshiya-sensei seemed a bit less...flammable than Himeji-sensei. Still, Reiko remained with the group who were going to play the games. 

Another whistle sounded. Back to Himeji. 

"Alright then. Those of you with me, we've got nets set up. We're going to be playing volleyball. Follow me." 

There were groans heard, but nevertheless, Reiko stood and began to follow. "Hey, Junko-san," Reiko said, not even sure if Junko was with Himeji's group at all and acutely aware of the fact that she used Kuriyama's first name, "Let's be on the same team." Without even checking if Junko was following, Reiko followed the group towards the nets.
