[b]Kotori Shirohane - Warakuma High School: Classroom 2-2 | Tuesday, April 14 2015 - After School[/b]

In the usual routine that had started to become the class' commonplace, the bell signalled the mass exodus of the larger part of the class' students in a wild ruckus - classes, friends or even just home were all the destinations that most were all to eager to head toward after a full day of school. A few took it more slowly and one or two even stayed behind for a little while - such as, much like usual, Kotori who finished up her note-taking before checking them over once more. Only once this was done and she was satisfied did she pack her books and then head on out - conveniently, this also meant that she missed the large hustle and bustle that followed the bell and thus didn't have to deal with quite as full a hallway or the crowded main entrance.

As she headed on out, she kept much to herself - being her usual self, she passed by a number of other students without much in the way of greeting. Whilst there were the occasional few people she did know at least in passing, Kotori didn't happen to run into any of them on her way - and, as such, soon reached the main entrance without further ado and thereafter was on her way home.

As Kotori walked through the mall, she thought for a moment on whether there was anything she needed from there - but came up with nothing; neither groceries nor school supplies or any personal items were running low and thus in need of restocking. Judging from the uniform they were wearing, she wasn't the only student from Warakuma High here - a small group of girls were excitedly discussing something in front of the shoe store, a few others could be seen throughout the shops. Despite not actually needing anything, Kotori couldn't help but still walk past some of the stores' windows to take a glance inside. Unfortunately, however, she didn't find any sales - as the afternoon bargain sales on eggs in the grocer's store had already all been sold out.

With a small sigh of disappointment, Kotori took her bespectacled eyes off the windows and instead back ahead - and taking a moment to realise that not far ahead of her stood a familiar figure. It took her another before she recognised said figure as that of Noboru Yamamoto, recent vanishee and subject of numerous rumours at school and, by the look of it, currently out for a jog or something in that vein. It would have been hard to have gone to school these past few days without hearing his name thrown about by at least someone - Kotori had heard a number of tales ranging from him having run away from home to him being hospitalised all the way to him having been kidnapped or even perhaps murdered. However, by the looks of it, nothing that serious seemed to have happened to the boy - even as Kotori had to remind herself that he was a fellow second year student despite his size.

Drawing nearer, it would have been difficult to just walk by as if she hadn't seen him - and not exactly the politest thing to do, too. As such, Kotori raised a hand in greeting as she held her school bag with the other. [color=green]"Good afternoon, Yamamoto-san,"[/color] she said, her voice quiet as ever. Though she only had met him once - on the same day that he'd seemingly vanished - she still remembered the concern with which both his brother, Aiko, and Toma had been searching for him - and felt as if seeing him up and about at least stifled that worry.
