<div class="floatleft">(http://oi67.tinypic.com/30rp8i0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Shizuma Nori (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12729551#msg12729551)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, a little after 7am<br/><strong>With:</strong>Taro + Open<br/><hr/><br/>Shizuma found there was something she liked about the way her behavior threw Taro for a loop. He could have just laughed at it all taking her bold, forward behavior as a joke among friends, or he could have appeared unfazed, missing the subtext entirely, letting her know there's no part of him that saw her as anything other then a friend. Instead, he stammered and cast her a sidelong glance that was querulous but engaged even as the mood shifted between them.<br/><br/><strong>"So, we'll trade. I'll help you with Science and I'll come to you for help with my English class,"</strong>Shizuma said in response to Taro's assertion about subjects he's strong and weak on. She nodded when he spoke of the Science club, frowning a little when she heard it might be defunct this year.<strong>"I'll look for them first then, before anything else, when clubs set up to recruit members, Taro,"</strong>she said thoughtfully.<strong>"I'm guessing you're going for the Martial Arts club, right, Taro? I bet you're a wonder to watch in competition,"</strong>she said with open admiration in her voice.<br/><br/>Taro asked about what year she was in and Shizuma smiled saying,<strong>"I'm a Second year now, I'm in home room 2-5, what about you, Taro?"</strong>She was curious to learn if they'd be seeing a lot of each other or if she'd have to make it a point to run into him. She blushed a little at that thought but didn't look away from him as she had earlier. She giggled and added,<strong>"it's nice to have normal school concerns again."</strong>
