Caught between an exasperated sigh and the urge to yell, Sakuya bit down on her tongue so hard that she was sure she was going to accidentally cut it off any second now. He was definitely trying to get to her. That part wasn't worrying, though; what worried her was that it was working! Maybe it was because she was so used to getting insults hurled at her about her father, her appearance, her personality--she had to admit, no one really used the middle school crush equivalent, and she didn't really know how to handle it. [color=lemonchiffon]"Crush?"[/color] Himawari looked up at Sakuya. [color=lemonchiffon]"Does that mean you like each other?"[/color] The sweet girl was innocent in all this, but she didn't appreciate the comment. Inhaling sharply, Sakuya forced a grin as she tugged Himawari's arm, signaling for them to get going. [color=salmon]"Hoshino is just making a really, really, [i]really[/i] unfunny joke, Himawari,"[/color] Sakuya replied, keeping in mind that he was walking ahead of them. Annoying, but she was sure that they would split off sooner than later. Himawari pondered over Sakuya's words but didn't make any further comment. Sakuya leapt at the opportunity to ask how her day was instead, all too happy to hear literally anything else. As their conversation continued, however, she noticed that Hoshino was still in front of them. Truly, God had a wicked sense of humor if he just so happened to live in the same direction as the Natsuhime household. Unfortunately, Himawari seemed to notice, too. [color=lemonchiffon]"It looks like we're following Hoshino-san, doesn't it?"[/color] She asked. [color=salmon]"Maybe he's your neighbor,"[/color] Sakuya tried not to react too much, but she was obviously unamused. [color=lemonchiffon]"Then we should walk together,"[/color] Himawari suddenly dropped the gem of a line. [color=lemonchiffon]"What do you think, Hoshino-san?"[/color] [/indent][hr][right][sub][@Asura][/sub][/right][hr][indent] Anzu studied Yori's expression, thinking for a moment. Ultimately, whatever concerns she had seemed to have been put to rest; once again, with vigor, she picked up the paperwork with confidence. While she was aware that it wasn't a guarantee of their success, she hoped that Nakano would see the facts objectively. It wouldn't do to get overly emotional, but if she would at least hear them out, then there was a chance. She just hoped Yori's support would help more than harm. With that in mind, Anzu led the way to the Student Council Room. Once the pair entered, they were greeted to the scene between the two council members and one third year student--but no sign of Nakano herself. Shoot, even the treasurer wasn't here. [color=dodgerblue]"Excuse me,"[/color] Anzu frowned as she looked around. [color=dodgerblue]"I was hoping to talk to Nakano about the Archery Club."[/color] [color=dodgerblue]"She wasn't feeling well, so she left for the day,"[/color] Oka stated.

While her nervousness around Ueno evaporated as she revealed her intentions, her eagle eyes were already locked on their potential new member. Kaito could see it from a mile away, letting out a quiet sigh as he joined the group. [color=dodgerblue]"I'm sorry for the disturbance. My reaction was a little over-the-top,"[/color] He admitted, tapping his cheek. [color=dodgerblue]"But I was so sure I had it right this time..."[/color] Linda waved Kaito's concerns away, all too happy to cater to Ueno. [color=dodgerblue]"Oh, of course. I almost forgot you were good friends with Makoto-kun,"[/color] She stated, understanding. [color=dodgerblue]"I don't know if you remember Kinoshita Kaito, but he was here last year, too. Mori Genki-kun just joined us, and our newest member is Hinari Daigo-kun."[/color] She radiated joy, her previous meek self a memory by now.
