Mary was strolling casually towards the student council room. Although Mary was in a calm state of mind, the blonde girl herself didn't even notice that she was walking at an unusually fast pace. Mary's hand was unconsciously grasping Ririkas phone which she had put in her pocket. The hallways were almost completely empty, resulting in Mary hearing solely her own thoughts. "It's been a while since I've visited the council room, hasn't it?"
Mary tried to remember when the last time it had been she had visited the council room. "I think the last time I've been there was when Kirari tried to offer me a place in the student council..." Mary couldn't help herself but to remember the condescending gaze the president had given her back then. "I am not regretting it in the slightest to have denied her offer..." As glad Mary was to have set her goals higher, the experience itself still had been very unpleasant and Mary often would avoid recalling it. "I can't believe the president actually thought I would be this weak minded to voluntarily become one of her helpers... especially with the screwed up system she is enforcing on the academy!" Mary's eyes narrowed as she started to feel seriously annoyed while at the same time losing motivation to go back to the room where she had been humiliated. Mary for a moment closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm down.
"Well... it hasn't been all bad... telling Kirari in her face that I would refuse her offer, definitely felt amazing." Mary started to feel more confident in herself all of sudden," I am sure that once I become president, I will enjoy looking back on how she underestimated me." thought the blonde girl convinced. Mary noticed that she started to get carried away a little.
"However right now it has nothing to do with why I go there ... For now, I'll just go there to bring Ririka her phone. It probably will go by really fast in the first place." Mary's thoughts rather rapidly were back at Ririka. It was surprisingly relaxing to think about the whitehaired girl. After that, Mary in silence kept walking, seemingly feeling quite content. Fortunately the student council room wasn't very far from the community rooms anyways, so it didn't take long for Mary to reach the hallway the room was located in. That hallway, Mary rarely would enter, was one of the longest of the academy. The wide corridor was leading to a big wooden double door which just let the renowned meeting point of the council members seem even more conspicuous. Mary looked down the long hallway and to her surprise she barely got a glimpse of someone just close one of the big doors behind them after entering the student council room.
The familiar silver hair which Mary had spotted just barley before disappearing behind the closing door, had made it quite easy for the blonde girl to figure out who had just entered the room. "Hmm? I didn't expect to witness Ririka entering the room, considering how she left much earlier than me." Mary definitely was slightly confused and questioned herself on how fast she actually had been moving, however Mary didn't think too much about it. "I wonder if she will be happy when I bring her phone..." Just having seen Ririka for a brief moment had caused Mary to smile pleased while making her way to the door. Mary then as well reached the door and for a moment just stood in front of the dark wooden door, not quite sure what to do next.
"Should I just knock? It is technically possible that I would interrupt them, even if Ririka only recently entered..." Mary carefully looked over the door's wood which probably was quite old. The blonde girl then smiled faintly. "I don't need to be worried about knocking... Ririka is my gambling partner, so I suppose having the vice president on your side gives you a free pass to do almost anything at this school..." Mary then energetically knocked at the door. Every single knock coming from the blonde girl seemed to let the old wooden door resonate a deep loud sound, making it quite obvious that Mary didn't care at all about possibly maddening someone inside. The for some reason almost aggressive sounding knocks stopped, as Mary was now waiting for someone to open her the door. A faint yet smug smile was on Mary's face as she waited. A moment of absolute silence passed in which Mary didn't seem to be moving.
