Hard Paper

-Chapter 2- •Trouble Approaches•

(Starts from Shiko's POV)

Shiko slowly and silently gets to the female dorm floor and heads to the list. Three girls stop her. Two are standing behind the one who is right in front of Shiko. She is really pretty.. her dress tho, is very very similar to Shiko's.
She looks up at the girl.

Nagisa: Well, Well, Well!~ What do we have here? Smiles at Shiko like she's looking down on her
I LOVE your dress!~ Now WHERE could I have seen it before??~ puts her hand on top of Shiko's head and smiles in a pissed off, annoyed way.

Kuro and Haru are going up the stairs while Kuro hears the conversation. He tells Haru to go ahead to the dorm room and starts watching the girls from afar out of curiosity. There isn't many students left on the corridor anyway.

Shiko silently looks down and clenches her hands, unable to say anything. She realizes that the dresses are similar. Nagisa starts playing with Shiko's dress's skirt like she's pulling her around

Nagisa: Hey. Shiko-Chan. You aren't gonna try to get everyones attention from the beginning of the year? Are you?~ I don't want to spend another year humiliating you. It's a waste of my time you know!~ smiles like a psycho like nothing is wrong

Shiko: starts slowly shaking and does her best not to look up.
"Attention??! That's the last thing I want! I just want to go to my dorm! Why do I have to put up with this!"

Nagisa: To make up for this, Hmmm... Why don't you sleep in the bathroom, in a trash can or something like that for tonight? You looked so comfortable in one last year!~ plus that suits you way more! Smiles cutely like she's suggesting a brilliant idea and shows Shiko a pic of her from last year in a dumpster, looking beat up
Oh! And you won't wear this dress ever again!~ Right?. starts looking serious for a sec

Shiko: ......but this is how almost all my outfits look.. not exactly, but very similar... she says very, very quietly

The girls behind Nagisa are just watching, smirking

Nagisa: Ha!? Did you just speak up to me!?. Says loudly as her face starts filling with anger, she stops as she feels a finger on her shoulder, tapping her, she looks behind as Shiko hesitently lifts her head up

Kuro: sigh Nagisa-San. Aren't you getting bored from this? He's looking at Nagisa with a blank expression

Nagisa: H-hm? Kurosaki-Kun!? This has nothing to do with you! I was simply having a talk with my friend! Makes an innocent puffy face

Kuro sighs again and slowly pushes Nagisa to the side

Kuro: Well then if you're business is done here, get out of here and be a bitch somewhere else smirks

Nagisa: gets slightly red off of anger and embarrassment
H-hmph!~ Let's go girls! Starts walking away down the corridor

Kuro: Oh and by the way; Your dress really doesn't suit you. Maybe you shouldn't wear it ever again? He says from behind to Nagisa in a mocking way and giggles annoyingly

Nagisa turns back towords Kuro and Shiko. She sticks her tongue out like a child, turns her back once again, does a sassy hair flip and goes into her own room with her two buddies
