Joining the three

As I jogged toward the school gates, the faint glow of streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement. Chii, An-rin, and Kushii were leaning against the gate, their silhouettes unmistakable even in the dim light.

An-rin was on her phone, most likely scrolling through her social account. Kushii was standing next to her, peeking from her shoulder.

Meanwhile, Chii’s arms were crossed, her foot tapping impatiently while staking out the direction I was coming from.

“Finally, Kii!” She called out as she saw me approaching. Her tone is mostly relief rather than irritation. She pushed off the gate and her fake gyaru flair was on full display with her slightly loosened tie and the way her skirt swished with every step. “What took you so long? Did you get pulled into a room or just lost in the Gymnasium?”

This girl… She’s pretty spot on that.
