To say that Matsuri wasn’t interested in the woods was an understatement. It was a mysterious place, unexplored and seemingly waiting for her to find out it’s secret. She’s always wanted to go, but never really had the proper motivation or time to go. Matsuri was also sane and had no intention of going to the woods alone. When the chance to go with a group of people from school popped up, she was crazy not to go.
Excited at the prospect of finally going to the woods, Matsuri dressed for the occasion properly. Dark jeans, pink shirt tucked in, and a thick brown jacket to protect her form the cold. It was cute and functional, just how she liked it. She felt comfortable in the outfit, but not so much the rest of the group.
Matsuri knew everyone by name and face, and knew them well enough, but she hung out in different circles than the other four. They’ve lived most of their lives in the town so there was a level of familiarity that Matsuri liked, but that didn’t stop the slight tension in the air. It will dissipate on its own Matsuri figured.
"So...we've got break coming up. Any plans?" Hime asked.
Matsuri knew of the other girl, within the group they were the one’s who’s circles interacted with the most. That being said they were still far from being close friends. The first person to answer Hime was Rikyu, nice enough fellow from what Matsuri has seen and heard of him, but she kept her distance. He was known for being loud, but well-meaning so there was no ill will between the two of them. Matsuri liked his earnest qualities.
“Hmmm” Matsuri pondered the questioned and thought about her summer. She hoped to visit some family members, but she could also not. More than likely family members will visit their house since they were the one’s that lived near the ocean and had the biggest house. “Oh you know, busy busy, travel to the city, maybe visit some family outside of town, go to the beach every now and again.” Truthfully she had no big concrete plans.
