[color=darkgray]It felt like a silly question the second it left Shiori's mouth. This girl had been her classmate for how long? The basketball starlet was never the most attentive person in class, but still, there had to have been a role call at some point to spare her the embarrassment of admitting to this... this beauty that she didn't even have a name to put to that face with the cute little freckles dotting it around her nose. Her face had so much personality, so much going for it to spark conversation. So much better than the pale skin that never seemed to show signs of tanning, just going from blank to scorched whenever she played basketball outside in the summer. It was inviting, down to those full lips that seemingly beckoned to...

...

...there were things happening that Shiori was not fully prepared for at this time, and she had to stop herself to at least get some presence of mind back so she could pay attention to what those lips were saying. 

[b][color=ffc0cb]"Oh, you didn't. Remember, I passed out drowning in the endless pools that are your eyes? You had to save me like one of those sexy lifeguards? It was all very dramatic."[/color][/b]

[i][color=007fff]Holy shit, did she actually just say that? She just said that! She is seriously laying the flirt on! This is what it's like to be outright flirted with! And it's not some creepy business student doing it! I...do I flirt back? Did I flirt first? I...[/color][/i] Shiori's mind was racing now.

[b][color=ffc0cb]"I'd love to see you play sometime! I'm a statistics nerd when it comes to games like basketball, and I might not look it, but I'm an athlete myself. Gymnastics. I was even considering joining this school's team when they opened up tryouts for new members."[/color][/b]

[i][color=007fff]Already wants to see you play! This girl is so into me! I... oh wow, how do I even do this? Like, do I just take this? Do I give her a clear path already? Get her the courtside seats? Does Hyakusawa even have courtside seats?[/color][/i] Shiori took a second to take in the girl's body some more. [i][color=007fff]I guess it makes she is an athlete. She definitely has a gymnast's body. At least from the size and the fitness...[/color][/i]

[b][color=ffc0cb]"Anyway, my name! Jazzy Cyra, back home they call me Jazzy Belle for... 'reasons.' But for you? Jazz works just fine."[/color][/b]

[i][color=007fff]Jazzy...even that name sounds musical...so exotic...It suits her well.[/color][/i]

[b][color=ffc0cb]"And what about you? In my head I've just been calling you 'Mystery Classmate.'"[/color][/b]

[i][color=007fff]Right. My name. Ugh, it's going to sound so much lamer by comparison! Thanks a lot, Dad. Couldn't name me something cooler like Namiko or Akari or something...[/color][/i]

Shiori finally let out a sigh that she didn't know she had been holding in during that whole exchange. [color=007fff]"Right, well, as much as I'm honored to be THE mystery classmate out of the entire grade, I suppose it makes sense to give a name to replace that. My name is Hasegawa Shiori, but I've never been a fan of honorifics, so you just call me Shiori. Makes things a lot easier."[/color] The girl was certain to make sure Jazzy didn't fall into the same trap that many of the other students here did, referring to her by her last name and thinking of her father so much they accidentally use his name when addressing her. It happened two too many times for her liking. [color=007fff]"I knew you had to be some kind of athlete the way your arms felt." 

[i]Fuck's sake, Shiori. Just admit you were feeling her up. Good work.[/i] 

"Anyway, I'm not too sure of my lifeguard skills, but hopefully you don't go falling into that cup of coffee or anything so I have to find out, huh?"[/color] 

Shiori closed her eyes and smiled, as if to try and make sure that Jazz knew that her offers and flirts had found a home here. Given the lack of attention since she arrived in Nashiro, it was nice to have someone take such a relatively pure interest... and even nicer to have that person be cute as all get out as well.
