The sun was sinking down over the horizon, the day drawing to a close; the calico color spread out over the entire campus. The orange-red hue covered everything in it’s path. The buildings, the streets, the trees, the students— all painted over by the setting sun. The clouds bunched together, swiping across the sky like pumpkin-colored smoke. The student body crowded together in small groups, uncommonly mellow for this time of day, and dispersed out throughout the buildings — most likely all getting ready to retire for the evening.
The laid-back atmosphere was a little peculiar, but the change was a little more then refreshing.
The entire day had been a little more then overwhelming. There had been plenty of things that she had been asked to go over and complete. A few stacks of paperwork to confirm her interest in this university, a couple of different entrance exams and physicals so that she may be placed in her proper classes if chosen, a tour of the school — she’d even been asked to sign if she’d be occupying a dorm nearby or if she’d still be commuting.
It was amazing she’d been able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time. There really weren’t enough hours in the day.
Kurumi heaved a small sigh, watching as her peers passed by her and slowly disappeared off into the setting sun. Most of them didn’t even bother to throw a glance in her direction and none of them seemed to be very interested in trying to talk to her. Not that the blonde particularly minded, as she wasn’t here to make friends.
It was just getting to be that time, wasn’t it?
The soft summer breeze that floated through the air was usually a sign of good things to come. She’d always enjoyed summer break - mostly as it was time for her to show off cute outfits in an attempt to impress Kazehaya - but now.. it was different.
With her final year of high school just around the corner, she had to think long and hard about what university she’d liked to attend. Did she want to continue her education here in the city or did she want to travel into the country? She could probably even study abroad if she tried hard enough… but none of them seemed right to her.
"Maybe just going to a local one would be best.. I’d like to get out of that house, but I don’t know if I could afford living on my own right now."
The blonde heaved a small sigh, shoulders slipping gently as she made her way off of the campus. Her future was important and she didn’t want to think about anything else, but.. what if she chose a school that she didn’t like? Or what was worse… what if she chose a school where she had to share classes with Kazehaya and Sawako?
What was she going to do if she had to watch them all day like she did now? Her heart was still broken, the pieces unable to be mended quite yet.. but she cou—
Obviously distracted by her thoughts, the blonde had no idea that when she’d rounded a corner that she’d be colliding with someone else. She really had no idea that she’d be tumbling down with her bottom smacking against the pavement.
