Raining Books! [Sora/Tamaki/Open]

[Haruhi Otonashi]

Despite the frequent rain showers that engulfed the atmosphere lately, today is unusually sunny. What's more, most of her school work are almost finished, thanks to all her hard work during the past weeks. Of course Otonashi Haruhi isn't one to complain; after all, the weather and the situation allowed her to catch up with her casual reading. And the perfect place for doing such is the uncovered porch at the second floor of the elementary building. With a small black book occupying her left hand, the student walked towards the banister at the edge of the verandah.

She was still dressed in the prescribed uniform for boys, as she had always been ever since she started studying at Alice Academy. It seems that she would never ever find the seamstress, and of course she has her limits too. Why waste time finding the seamstress if she could enjoy the life of being a male even for just a definite time? And besides, her student ID is missing as well, and she has this feeling that, like the seamstress, she would never find that too. Again, why stress herself with things like that if she can live in a perfectly normal state? Well, not that living inside this place, but you get the idea.

Refreshed, that's what would best describe her feeling this fine, sunny, November morning. Yesterday she had her hair trimmed for no reason really; she just felt like having one. Besides, she's already finding her brown hair quite unmanageable. Her round auburn eyes stared at the open book in her hands, leaning her elbows to the balustrade in front of her. At that position she could see the students come in and out of the building, but that doesn't matter to her, really.

Suddenly there was a strong gust of wind, which caught the girl off-guard, causing her to accidentally drop the book that she read. It landed on the ground, making others to look towards the direction of from where the foreign object fell.

"Could you please pick the book up for me? I'll be there in a jiffy," she shouted out, referring to nobody in particular. Hopefully that would catch even a little bit of attention.

[|Sora High|]

Wearing her school uniform for females, Sora walked to in the elementary building. She was deciding to do some pranks using her alice since she became really bad when she went to this school. Sora went to the second floor to look for something or somebody. It doesn't matter to her what would she do if something bad happen. Some of her personality changed. She was still wearing her I.D. on her upper left chest. She had reached the second floor and sighed. It was a pretty boring day, nothing special had happen. She never walked outside the dorm because of her sickness, BOREDOM.

She moved to the verandah and saw a girl.... wearing a guy's uniform. What!?!? A guy's uniform? Sora felt weird for this person. She thought it was a girl wearing a boy's uniform. She heard her [or him] shouted something. Could you please pick the book up for me? I'll be there in a jiffy Sora doesn't know what she meant but she went near to the 'person' (because she can't decide if it's a boy or a girl) and picked up the book. She bend her knees and reached out for the book. She stood up and stared at the 'person'. A girl? Or a boy? "Um... here's your book...." she said softly.

"Watashi wa Sora desu, onamaewa?" she asked. It was like her first line everytime she meets new people. And another reason, to know her gender. Sora is a dumb person, she never use her common sense. If she would, she would thought this 'person' is a boy. But she didn't, so she thought this is a 'girl', because of her appearance. "I'm from 1-A, have an alice of Phantom. How 'bout you?" she asked again. This time, Sora smiled.

[Akira]

Taking a ordinary walk around the elementary building, she just continued to stare at the sky. The girl was wearing her not-so-usual attire, a denim jacket covering her graphic shirt, a denim miniskirt over a pair of black pants, and a pair of red chuck taylors. It was her first time wearing those types of clothes. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. The warm air was nice, it relaxes her.

It's been a while since she showed up, her once fiery red hair with matching crimson eyes were once inside that cool and spacious building. She used to play there especially in her old classroom. It's also been a while since she entered the academy. Warm and happy faces greeted her from afar. She just missed the old days.

Walking through the doors of the elementary building, she noticed that there seem to be a lot of students wandering along the halls. Where the students just dismissed at the time she arrived? Well, that doesn't matter for now. She just wanted to see the changes in the academy since she was not around.

From the 'sky', a book just landed on the way. A lot of students didn't 'notice' it nor dare tried to pick it up. Before she could get it, a girl already picked it up and waited for the owner to return. Walking up to her, she smiled and said "Hey there"

[Haruhi Otonashi]

[OOC: I'm assuming that Sora and Tamaki are already at the ground floor, by the entrance to the elementary building.]

In her haste, Haruhi neglected to see who picked her book up first, assuming that the person who picks it up would immediately return it to her. She even almost tripped down the staircase as she rushed down towards the ground floor. When she was finally outside the elementary building, she was alarmed, to say the least, realizing that somebody just might take the book as their own. Oh, how naive could she be!

Within a few moments of gazing towards nowhere in particular, Haruhi was approached by a girl around her age, with the black book resting on the latter's hands. "Um... here's your book...." she even mouthed.

That certainly snapped Haruhi out of her blank daze; she looked at the girl and bowed to her with utmost gratitude. As she straightened up, she prepared her lips with a smile. "Domo arigatou gozaimasu!" she uttered, her voice sounding very ambiguous that it doesn't really help her claim that she's a girl. In fact, her voice was somewhat leaning towards the boyish tone. She took her book, when suddenly a 'redhead' approached and greeted. Shifting her attention to the newly-arrived girl, Haruhi replied with a simple nod and a smile.

"Aa, I'm from 1-A as well, and my alice is human pheromones," she promptly replied, turning towards the brunette. "Ore wa Otonashi Haruhi desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

Haruhi. It was a pretty common unisex name, and it basically means spring day. It actually came from the name of her rather eccentric father, Haruto. The name suits her very well; she was as calm as a quiet (which is the meaning of her surname, Otonashi, by the way) spring day. But that doesn't help in convincing people that she's female.

Neither is her appearance, of course. Wearing the boy's uniform, sporting a short, brown, rather messy hair, and a somewhat deep voice, nobody could ever tell that she is indeed a female.

And that issue doesn't really matter to her, seriously.

Cassentie was walking on the building trying to find some person who she had met at the elementary building. She went upstairs and saw three people. 2 girl and 1 boy. Is it a boy? Or a girl> She really can't figure it out. It's pretty unisex like person. She can't realize. She just went up and said, "hiya..."
