Lunchtime Antics OPEN Locked

There was always something odd about Miharu. Perhaps it's because she isn't the type of person to socialize openly among her peers, her serious demeanor making it hard for anyone to try and approach her. While being a Navy Robed student had earned her respect from some of her classmates, they were nothing more than that. In short, she had no close friends, the reason why she's walking down the hallway on her own and will probably eat lunch somewhere, maybe the gardens. Acquaintances, yes, but not close. A harsh truth that she wants to change but is having a hard time doing so considering her habits.

It was something that Miharu wasn't bothered as she does enjoy her time being alone, got used to it ever since she was young considering how she almost spent it doing nothing but studying and practicing her broom riding and Quidditch skills and only having a few instances of social interactions outside their manor. Pureblood gatherings aren't exactly what you can call a good example for socializing for most of the time, it's just a meet and greet with people who hold values in their names and made an impact in the wizarding world.

Her performance when it comes to academics were top notch, and so are her skills in Quidditch considering that she just made it into her school's team yet her social skills are close to zero. She was so occupied with her thoughts that it took someone bumping into her to snap her out of it and then an apology followed. Looking up, she saw an older student and she did recognize him. Due to her parents' connection and being a part of a pureblood family, she is knowledgeable about others with the same status. "Ah, Midorimori-senpai. Yes, I am alright. I wasn't paying attention myself so I apologize for that as well." Letting yourself get too deep into thoughts in a busy hallway isn't the smartest thing to do.

"I guess there's nothing to forigve, then, if we both weren't paying attention," Ginyami said, chuckling lightly. "Glad to hear you're unharmed. By the way, Midorimori-senpai is such a mouthful; you can just call me Yami or Yami-senpai if you prefer."

Regarding the girl in robes the same color as his, Ginyami asked, "Would you like to have lunch with me and a few others, Goto-san? I haven't invited them yet, but I was thinking of calling over some schoolmates to eat together. I thought we could get to know each other a little better outside of just school and balls and tournaments and games. Those are always so hectic and busy, you know?"

He smiled at her before looking up and peering around, attempting to spot a particularly stoic classmate of his. Then he thought he caught a glimpse of him by their classroom door and raised a hand along with his voice to get his attention.

"Sara! How would you like to have lunch together outside in the gardens with a few schoolmates? Better than eating on your own, don't you think?"

He had to find Tone, too, so he could ask him if he wanted to come and bring all his close friends from his class. Miharu was likely to get along better with them, Ginyami thought, than just a couple of students much older than her. At least Tone and his classmates were closer to her age.

"Sara, have you seen Tone?" he asked, searching for familiar faces in the sea of students filling the halls for the lunch hour.

Now that he mentioned it, 'Midorimori-senpai' is indeed such a mouthful, making her wonder how she even managed to say it without turning it into a tongue twister. "That is true. Then I shall call you Yami-senpai." Miharu answered him. While she wasn't one to address someone by their name so casually, she had been given permission to use it so it's all good.

His next question had caught her a bit surprised. "Join you and others for lunch?" She asked with a tilt of her head. It was a question that she wasn't used to hearing for normally, no one would even dare to ask such a thing. To others, yes, she can see that happening but to her? Completely unheard of. She always gives off that 'leave me alone' vibe after all. With something so unexpected coming her way, she needed to think about it. Should she accept the offer? Or not? Who are the 'others' who will join them that Yami-senpai will invite later on?

There isn't exactly that much to think about this to be honest. Like what Ginyami said, it's a way of knowing people outside sports and events. "If you don't mind then of course, I would like to." The girl answered him with a small smile on her face. She can't say she wasn't happy that someone invited her to join them for lunch as it doesn't happen everyday. Her gaze was on the older student while Ginyami was busy scouting for anyone that could join them, hearing a familiar name from him. Sara, Sara Kohana. A fellow Quidditch player.

Sara's Ency

Lunchtime and he had a history. Not too unique, not too bad, and not too great either. As a child, a part of him was aware he wasn’t the most approachable person to ask if you were looking for someone to have lunch with. On the days when he reluctantly ate his lunch outside and alone, he often tried to look for positives in the situation. For starters, cats were often outside. And if he was lucky, some would come up to him and ask for a bite of his meal. Perhaps when he was a child, the tightening in his chest, the tension in his shoulders, the unexplainable voice in his head that told him he was unhappy sitting alone - was more prevailed. But as time passed it seemed more like a passing thought, or a memory from a different time. Currently content with his current lunchtime antics. Which usually meant a single quick meal, and if he were lucky sometimes his closer friends would change that. Sara could admit to himself that whenever they were there, ‘content’ had a slightly different meaning in this context. Where he was happy to be there, and looked forward to more of it.

Today seemed to be one of those days when he saw Ginyami called out to him. He greeted his friend with a polite nod, “ Ginyami, hello”. Simple words accompanied the giddiness in his stomach, tempting him to break into a smile. For everyone’s sake though, he proceeded to keep his neutral piercing stare. He only nodded as Ginyami offered a simple time for lunch. But there was a sort of sparkle in Sara’s eyes. Most would mistake it for bloodlust, maybe. But Sara was certain Ginyami was more than capable of understanding which one was which.

He then noticed the girl around Ginyami. Miharu Goto? Despite the girl being years younger, Sara felt a tad bit intimidated. They have only been around one another during practice and games, after all. Not to say he wasn’t interested in getting to know her. The curiously evident in his inspecting stare said as much. But his mind went blank on how he should talk to her. “...Hello” A curt, almost gruff greeting. The tension laced in it might have been mistaken for reluctance. His heart rapidly started speeding up and he quickly gave her a slight respectful nod in greeting as well. Did he do well? Was that a good starter? Oh god, he didn’t know and it was freaking him out. . His face didn't betray his thoughts, keeping its usual stony intimidating expression. Regardless, he almost let out a sigh of relied when Ginyami continued to ask about Tone instead.

Taking his mind off whatever impression he might’ve given the girl, he scanned the crowd for Tone. It was easy to spot him. Coloured hair, surrounded by people, and an undeniable main character sort of energy surrounds him. That was Tone Bakugo. Sara pointed to the direction where he saw Tone, but started walking towards him- figuring a bit of time off from Miharu would help his beating heart. He'll start thinking on ways to impress her and prepare for their next conversation that didn't involve quidditch.

Sara liked being around Tone. They had a relationship where he didn’t have to push himself to speak more than needed. As if the other boy had a certain talent for finding words in his eyes than his speech. It was not often he came across anyone who could even look at him in the eye. Let alone be able to understand him with no words said. Arriving at the small crowd, his presence seemed to unnerve everyone but Tone. Sara’s shoulders were about to slump, a twinge of guilt creeping up from his stomach, but with a glance from Tone, he found it easier to breathe.

Sara gave a curt nod, placed a gentle hand on Tone’s shoulder, and turned his head towards Goto and Ginyami. Their usual silent exchange started. An eyebrow raised here, a squint there, and suddenly Sara knew Tone had given him permission to carry him to the group.

It was faster that way, therefore practical, and therefore in Sara’s mind: necessary. Sara gave a curt nod of goodbye from Tone’s group of friends before making his way towards the group. Seemingly unfazed by the stares they were getting. Arriving near Goto and Ginyami, Sara gently let Tone’s feet touch the ground once more before straightening his posture. “ He’s here” he announced as if he didn’t just bridal carry Tone across the room just to get him here.

❰▬▬▬❀▬▬▬❱

“Ah, hello.” Miharu greeted with a slight bow upon being greeted by Sara Kohana, eyes on the older boy’s figure. This was… probably one of the few times, if there are other meetings that she wasn’t aware of, that he met him outside of Quidditch practice for one, she’s not that social. She wouldn’t go on her way to hang out unless there was a reason, like this one. She was asked kindly to join in but now, deep inside, she might be starting to regret it because of all the participants. Sure, she knows them, but really, she hasn’t interacted with any of them that is not about Quidditch.

There was nothing to worry about though because surely enough, talking to them would be easy but she’s a quiet kid and doesn’t have a lot of socializing experience outside of pureblood parties. Does she even socialize in those events? Aside from greetings, no. The young girl snapped out of her own thoughts, blinking in surprise at how Kohana just… carried Hiro Bakugo and set him down before them. That was… unexpected and it looked like it was nothing for Kohana, not even minding the looks that they might’ve gotten from those around them, from other students. She was sure she was staring at them as well, making her avert her eyes to anywhere else.

That had completely caught her off guard and in a way, was wondering if she should react or not.
