Standing alone by the window of her homeroom, Cho Fukawa wondered what was so wrong with the energy circuit of Seiyo academy. Every time, every single time there was a storm, the power went out: Didn't fancy schools from big cities have energy plants for situations like these? Even someone like her knew that much! There was a good side to storms, however: the intricate serpents made of lightning were mesmerizing to look at. 

Shifting her weight from one shoe to the other, the impatient girl wondered how long she would have to wait until they lights come back on. The school was wrapped in a rather dark and chilly aura that, while it was refreshing for these incoming days of summer-- it was also creepy, to some extent, since it was accompanied by rampaging thunder, and bolts crashing on the sport fields of the school.

There was nobody around from her homeroom, 3-E. Cho figured that she could wait right outside of her classroom, just in case that she could find another 'storm aficionado'. 
Who was she trying to fool here? She was feeling lonely back there at her desk.

Takara found himself in the hallway, the flashing lights of lightning filtering through the classroom windows and in turn through the doors filled the room with an was awfully creepy atmosphere. The sky had darkened so much from the storm it looked like it was almost night time. The sound of his steps echoed in the school followed by the roar of thunder in the distance. He was on his way to his classroom to pick a book he was forgetting, and a part of him almost wanted to just leave it there.

If he didn't know better he would start thinking of bad american horror movies.

He stuck his hands in his pockets and quickened his pace.

Clearly he didn't know any better, he admitted, while the sound 'Shh shh shh... Haa Haa Haa' played in his mind.

Shaking his head he shunned himself, what would people think of him if they saw him like this. Taking a deep breath he tried to calm down. He wondered if anyone else was in the building, considering how heavy the rain was, there was no way he would make it back to the dorms without catching a cold. Better to wait the storm to die down, better to find company to make it less unbearable. To his surprise he found someone exiting a classroom. Eyes narrowed in the dark to try to read the plate on top of the door. '3-E' he noted.

"Good to see I'm not the only one here---" He said, a fake little chuckle escaping him, fingers wrapping into fists in his pocket when a lightning hit closer and its thunder startled him enough to cut off his sentence. He cleared his voice. "Is this a regular occurrence?" He asked unsure, he was after all, a new guy in school.

The ace bonkura from homeroom 3-E wasn't, in any way, the kind of person to pick up fake gestures and forced Japanese politeness. She believed that, if someone was nice to her, then there wasn't anything behind it. Her naivety would be the reason of her demise. Luckily, this was the least dangerous scenario she would have met with: A guy approached her by the window; walking down the hallway with a cute smile on him-- a chuckle. Her best guess was that he was nervous about the storm, right? "Oh... Hi!" Her physical language imitated his chuckle, absentmindedly. She hummed. "I'm glad too... There's nobody in my homeroom! And it's... Kinda creepy in there-- There's this weird shadows, hahah, wanna see?!" A guy? Scared by some lightning? Nah, that would be silly!

He made a question about the frequency of something-- The power outs! Her head nodded rapidly, a handful of times, then, she turned away to face the window, where she started to draw what seemed to be... Hearts, maybe. "It is! It happens a lot... Every time there is a storm... BOOM! Off they go with the energy..." After a pause, getting lost in thoughts, Cho placed her fists firmly on her hims, and shifted her position to face her companion. "If a farm can have a power plant... Why can't such a big school in the city?! I don't get it! City folk are weird..."

Returning her attention to the window, a strike of lightning shot a glaring light into the window, illuminating the reflections. Cho saw the guy's face clearly for around half a second, or so, and realized that she had never seen him before. "So, hey! I know this is a big school and everything-- but I've never seen your face, anyway! Are you like, new?" She presented herself openly, in her most friendly disposition.

Her glasses were accumulating foggy humidity, so, as she waited for his response, she removed them to wipe them clean.
