Shiori's eyes followed Totsuka as he sat across from her. Probably for the better, she might've gotten crushed if he had chosen to sit with her. She was fully wary of the other girl now, but she didn't understand what she was trying to play at. There was some bizarre thought in her head that she was ultimately trying to make Shiori jealous--of God knows what, who knew--but that would imply that Harumi had some sort of interest in the transfer. Maybe that's what all this was? Shiori squinted at the girl's pleasant smile and demeanor. She couldn't read her or guess what she was thinking.

Harumi herself took a seat next to Shiori, glancing between the two. [color=lightsalmon]"You two don't look too happy,"[/color] She commented.

The redhead had to outright bite down on her tongue to quell her initial response. That said, however, maybe a direct approach was better. She sat up and gave Harumi an unamused look. [color=pink]"Probably because of you,"[/color] She replied.

Harumi finally frowned, looking concerned. [color=lightsalmon]"Oh...I'm sorry, I do tend to tease incessantly..."[/color] She admitted with a small sigh. [color=lightsalmon]"I'll make sure not to do it again."[/color]

Shiori held back her sigh of relief, though she had to push down that slight amount of guilt she had. Stupid Harumi looking so sad. Her fingers tapped the table as she eyed Harumi, but true to her word, she said nothing, instead looking at one of the doors presumably leading to the kitchen.

[color=pink]"What?"[/color]

[color=lightsalmon]"Mmm...the tea should have come out by now..."[/color] She mused, getting up. [color=lightsalmon]"I'll go check on it and get your boba while I'm at it. I'll be right back!"[/color]

Shiori pursed her lips as she watched Harumi, examining her actions closely. She was probably up to something else, but she had no idea what. She outright pouted, frustrated as she put her chin back on the palm of her hand. Well, at least she'd get to be grumpy with boba. Totsuka probably had a bad impression on Ariyoshi, now that she thought about it. The girl wasn't all bad, she was just being [i]really[/i] weird today.

[color=pink]"...she's not usually like this,"[/color] She muttered out something resembling an explanation. [color=pink]"She's more into tarot cards and fortunetelling."[/color]
