The snow had been falling somewhat lazily for the past few weeks, covering the ground in a soft, white blanket; virgin and untouched. The cherry blossom trees had long since lost their beautiful pinkish peachy blossoms, and had been replaced by the elegant whiteness that only snow seems to bring. The snow landed and rested on the windowsills, making it look a lot like how windows on Christmas should look; that slightly frosted cold glaze over the windows that came with snow; a ring of white appearing on the cold glass at any hint of a warm breath. The class behind one of these windows, like all the other classes, were as one would have expected an all-girls school should be; full of only girls, and like with almost all Japanese schools; the girls were of the same age, approximately. There had been a rumor circling the schools; one of those<em>she said that she said that she said that a teacher said</em>kind of rumors that had some of the students fidgeting a little restlessly; but that may have just been because they were in class. The P.A. system crackled on, and the admin secretary's voice came out of the speakers in all classrooms, making all the students and the teachers look up.<br/>"Could the student body president: Tsukishima, Manami, and other members of the student body, make their way to the head office? Thank you." before a few more crackles and the message was over.<br/>The class that Manami was in, happened to be Home Economics; it being a Wednesday and 10:35 in the morning.<br/>The rumor had been one of many; the same old type of guys being accepted into Sendai school that some had chosen to ignore, and some had chosen to accept as the truth. This time, there wasn't anything made-up about it. In a few minutes a coach load of boys, would be driving through the gates of the school.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>(http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r388/Combi_con/sider.jpg)</td><td><strong><br/>The lesson had been something to do with childcare; which for whatever reason, Minori wasn't paying much attention too. She just wasn't in the right mindset probably. It may have been the rumors, it may have been the weather, but whatever reason, she had been doodling in her notebook for awhile, occasionally flipping the page to one that she had been writing on and writing a few more notes. Yawning, she couldn't help but look up as the speaker crackled to life; it usually sat unused, unless there was something important going on and they needed specific people; like Manami for example. Looking over at Manami; one of the girls who looked more foreign than Japanese, her height being quite a large factor in that. Either way, she was taken in as quickly as they would have a full-blooded Japanese person. Wondering what she was needed for; usually they wouldn't announce meetings with the student body members on the P.A. Shrugging it off, she went back to drawing a little. Even so; she couldn't help shake off the rumor that the guys were coming to the school. She knew it couldn't be true, but somehow there seemed to be some part of her mind that wanted to believe it; the more logical side however thought that work would have been done to the school; new changing rooms built, separate bathrooms, urinals, all that jazz, but no. Minori calmed herself in that thought, but even she knew that the only way to silence the little fluttering in her heart and stomach would be to wait it out and wake up tomorrow in a boy-free school, as it always is, always has been, and as far as Minori is concerned; always will be. Her pale fingers brushed her black hair behind an ear, and her dark brown eyes flickered over to the window, watching the snow fall for the few minutes that she could as the class was interupted; which would probably take the teacher a few minutes to settle down once more while the student body rep left.<br/></strong></td></tr></tbody></table>
