So far we had managed to tour half the building and it was starting to get late. Thankfully we are allowed in out of the dorms until 10:30. It is only 7:30. We started the tour around 4:45. We have plenty of time.
I currently know where two of my classes are, one of Momo's classes and both of Toushirou's classes for this semester. I was bummed that I knew more about a guy's, who I didn't even like, whereabouts than the girl I managed to make friends with.
I also learned that the classrooms were different from my old classes. When they said Room 1-A, they meant to find the section of the school that subject is taught then find those numbers. Math was on the first floor on the west side of the building. Science is on the second floor, west side. History is top floor west and all language arts classes are on the second floor of the middle building. Obviously since we have four different languages to choose from and the required proper grammqr courses that are required every year along with Speech class...The middle part of the building is the largest.
Bottom floor, east side of the building is gym, art, and band classes. Of course the gym classes are in the gym or outside. The band room is apparently huge from what I've heard.
Dual-enrollment college classes are on the second floor on the east side.
Lastly the club rooms are on the top floor on the east side.
The dormitories are the two buildings to the sides of the school. Each building holds about five hundred people when there are two to a room. There are nine hundred eighty six students. This left seven room unused in the west dormitory. Momo's, Toushirou's, and my dormitory.
Momo said earlier in the tour that it was rumored that the teachers used unused rooms for inappropriate activities. Afterward she told me that those rumors weren't true. I didn't think they were in the first place.
We were nearly done with the tour at nine. We were in the club rooms hallways when I thought of a question, "Hey my elective has to be a club activity right? Does that mean the more electives you have the more clubs you have to join?"
Toushirou was the one to answer me, "No. Your tenth grade year you join a club. eleventh grade is foreign language and club. Seniors have a foreign language a club and then something they choose to do. You can join more than one club but only one that meets during school. You could also not do a club and instead sign up for an extra class. For example you could take eleventh grade math as your elective when you are in tenth grade. This is better recommended if your electives are in the second semester."
"Okay."
It was quiet for a while before Momo blurts out, "Hey Karin you skipped a grade right? How old does that make you?"
I blink at her, "I'm fourteen. I'll turn fifteen right before the end of this school year. My birthday is May 6th."
She smiles, "I was just wondering because I turn eighteen eight days after the last day of school. And Shiro turns sixteen in December five days before Christmas."
Said boy sighs in front of us and says, "That's not my name."
I'm not sure why I wanted to say what I say next but I did, "You left the -chan off."
Momo bursts out laughing and can't stop until we get back to our dorms. Once we get there Toushirou lets us take the lead and he walks us to our room. As we are turning into the last hallway to get there Momo says, "You shouldn't take things so seriously Shiro. She was only joking."
I hear a mumbled, "I know," but otherwise he is silent.
Momo unlocks our door and opens it. As soon as it opens Toushirou turns around a starts walking the way we came. Momo smiles at me as I finally enter the room I had to throw my luggage in, in a rush because of her rushing away.
I look around the small decorated room. There were picture frames on the wall and and stuffed bunny on Momo's bed. The small bookshelf was full of books. Some of them I had read but a lot of them I wanted to read but hadn't.
Momo speaks up behind me, "It's not much. Just a small room that I've already decorated.
I nod but don't say anything.
She speaks again, "That was pretty funny what you said earlier...in my opinion anyway. I think Shiro took it offensively."
I look back at her, "Why? I was just joking."
She looks up at the pictures on the wall, "He doesn't like people making fun of him. And that's how he would take something like that."
"I wasn't though. He deserved it if he took it that way but I didn't mean it that way."
"You two got off to a pretty bad start, huh?"
"Yeah."
She looks at her feet suddenly finding her feet interesting.
"You like him don't you?"
She snaps her gaze and blurts out,"Is it really that obvious?"
I nod, "I'm also good at reading people's feelings. I grew up with an older brother and a twin sister it's just something I developed."
She gulps and changes the subject,"A twin sister, really? Are you two identical?"
I shake my head no, "About as far from it as you get. We're complete opposites."
She says a soft, "Oh," and then crawls into her bed. Soon after she falls asleep and I crawl into my own bed. I fall asleep not long after my head hits the pillow.
The next day was a disaster...
Shorter chapter but things got awkward and I lost what I wanted to write anyway here's your last chapter for the night! Remember to review. I'm really sleepy...
