NAKAMURA RIKAKO<br/><br/>Katra spoke - or rather lectured me - as we walked. I remained silent but still had a wide grin on my face.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh, Katra, you're so serious. You make them all sound like rapists. Lighten up!"</strong>I bopped her a play punch on the upper arm. That was the trouble with student council, all the members had to conform to the party line. Me, I'm more likely to be a party animal. The idea that some of these boys might behave a little inappropriately was the whole point that I was up for it. A bit of flirting here and there, a few winks and touches, it was all good fun.<br/><br/>At the lockers she had a call on her mobile. When she closed it she told everyone to wait and set off towards the headmistress' office, indicating with a motion of her head that I should follow.<br/><br/><em>Now what? I'm not on student council? And anyway, I'd rather stay here, you know, in case they really are rapists!</em><br/><br/>As we started I fell into step beside her, unbuttoning my coat<em>again</em>and loosening my scarf<em>again</em>,<strong>"Katra, why not send the restaurant party out to catch up with Mana rather than have them hang around here?"</strong>
