Ichika followed Ishihara's gaze, watching the grumpy looking cousin of hers. She wanted to think they were friends, but Ichika often felt like she was always imposing or needing to be rescued. The past two weeks had been...rather challenging. The move itself was one thing but she was having a hard time trying to adjust. Her cousin had been patient enough, surprisingly, but it was hard to interact with her socially. She mostly kept to herself, while Ichika loved talking to people and meeting new ones. They had yet to bump heads, but she felt that any day now she'd really mess up.

But none of that was relevant right now. Or at least, that's what she told herself.

Flashing a smile at the girl, she shook her head. [color=lightsalmon]"Actually, we're cousins!"[/color] She revealed the fact like it was some sort of trivia. [color=lightsalmon]"I hope you don't mind, but I'd love it if we could be friends! I just moved to the area, so I don't really know anyone."[/color] Nor could she really count on Shiori for all her social interactions.

Shiori scowled at Juno, displeased. What an ass. He had a point about the contrast, but did he really have to point it out like that? Her eyes briefly flickered to her cousin before looking at the guy in front of her. She supposed she should get used to those sorts of comparisons--the delinquent having a cheerleader as a cousin, what a pair. Letting out a sigh, she lifted her gaze to try to make some attempt at a conversation before he would dismiss her. She was left with her mouth hanging open for a second before she would scoff. So much for a pleasant conversation.

Not in the mood to accompany Little Miss Sunshine, Shiori would instead begin the walk into the school. As Juno wasn't too far ahead of her, she quickened her pace, purposefully shouldering him before continuing forward, throwing him another scowl before carrying on.
