The closing bell's chime signaled Yori to close her books and stow them away in her bag, quickly moving to exit the classroom as the hallways began to fill with students departing for home. With many clubs being closed for the day, the Archery Club included, most of the student body surged toward the bottom floor exit. 

The usual cacophony of voices that filled the school hallways was accompanied by the faint growl of thunder in the distance, a potential downpour building in the skies above as dark, ominous clouds slowly yet surely rolled toward the school. Yori stopped for a moment by one of the many windows to watch, her eyes glazed over as they stared unfocused at the rain clouds overhead. She waited for a long moment as if attempting to catch the first glimpse of water droplets falling from the sky, but eventually moved on, either bored or tired of waiting for an event that wouldn't happen until later in the future.

Mind still visibly wandering, it wasn't until she bumped into a stalled student that she noticed what was going on near the school entrance. A crowd had gathered around the shoe lockers, blocking the way for the students who had come from the upper floors or were just late in leaving their classrooms. Nothing too surprising in the current situation, as there were more students in the "Going Home club" than there were usually, but a certain scene within the commotion had caught her eye. 

A familiar face, kneeling down next to a small yellow cat that seemed to be nuzzling his legs. Though her face scrunched up at first, her features eventually softened when a name was attributed to that face. Hoshino Noriaki. The transfer student. A memory unbidden came to her mind, of a strange, unlikely trio in her classroom. Yet again, a trio formed once more with him at the center, albeit slightly less interesting compared to the former.

The itching returned, only this time she had no reason to ignore it. With her club closed and her siblings still at school, she had no pressing matters to pull her away. She headed to her own locker first, to switch her school shoes for her outdoor ones, before moving to approach her classmates. Momentarily rifling through the contents of her bag, she pulled out a notebook as she glanced at the cat between the three boys, quickly writing down 'swing by pet store; live bait for Ku-chan' in bold red ink.

[color=c4df9b]"Are you a magnet, Hoshino-san?"[/color] Blunt, abrupt, Yori hadn't given her words even a moment of consideration before speaking them, addressing the transfer student directly without even using the cat as a pretense. [color=c4df9b]"This is the second time I've seen other students gathering around you. Is it only because you're new here, or just a coincidence?"[/color]
