Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma High Courtyard || May 11 MON: After School
A watering can in her grasp, Shizuka was tending to the seeds which the agriculture club planted into the small, plowed field, the previous week. Since the ever nature enthusiast president had been excited about the piece of land the club had received, its members slowly began to work on the field during club hours. But even on days which did not fall on a club meeting, one would see the dedicated club president planting seeds, sprinkling fertilizer or watering the seeds about the premises. Seeing such dedication was quite admirable, Shizuka thought to herself as she chuckled softly. As such, she thought to help out a little today, seeing as she had some time on her hands, while most clubs on this week before the exams were not having meetings.
"Hey Shizu! We don't have club meetings today, ya know. Or did you wanna deepen your love for nature like I do?" A familiar voice from behind her caught the freshman off guard as she jumped slightly, splashing a little too much water onto one area. Chuckling awkwardly with an apologetic expression as he scratched the back of his head was none other than the agriculture club president, Matthew. When the female turned to face the upperclassman, he started,
"Sorry about that, didn't mean to surprise you. But you sure surprised me by being here, I didn't expect you guys to be here around the week before exams."After calming herself down from the initial shock, Shizuka flashed a soft smile as she parted her lips to respond,
"I-It's alright, Ha-Harv.. Harvester-senpai, you just caught me while I was pondering on something. Um... I had some free time so I thought to drop by and assist you with the watering, at least." Hearing her reply, the foreign male grinned and patted her shoulder in appreciation.
"That's nice of you, Shizu, I appreciate the help!", Matt exclaimed as he laughed light heartedly and let Shizuka continue what she was doing previously. She could hear a humming time from the other from time to time, which was a little more lively than the silence from when she was working alone. It was certainly nice to be working with club members, or with other people in general, the raven haired maiden whispered to herself. Matt turned to look at her, wondering if she were talking to him but continued planting some seeds while humming when he saw that it was not the case.

Few droplets of rain splashed on the ground as it alerted the two agriculture club members that it was to start pouring down soon. To take refuge from the inevitable rain, they ran towards the entrance to the school building and not long after, it had started to rain heavily.
"Looks like we didn't have to water the seeds after all," Matt chuckled slightly, gazing at the raining scenery.
Shizuka giggled softly and nodded, agreeing to the upperclassman's statement. They exchanged a couple of words before parting to their own ways when the rain had become lighter.
Shizuka Otonashi || Star Drop Cafe || May 15 FRI: After School
After a change of clothes and putting time on light make up, Shizuka decided to drop by the cosplay cafe she works at as a mere customer. Of course, she couldn't be caught seen as her usual self and as such, she wore a long, silky violet wig and an elite fashioned school uniform, tailored solely for cosplay. Studying day and night was quite exhausting so this visit was a little reward of sorts to herself and a stress relieving time.
Stepping into the cafe with a pair of polished, heeled black shoes, Shizu was greeted by her fellow workmates, who were dressed in futuristic military uniforms one would see in mecha anime like Gundam, and lead to a table. Kenji, the manager and owner of the cafe, noticed the girl and approached, also with the intention of taking her order himself.
"Welcome, Shizu! How's your studies coming along? And I'll take your order down if you've decided.""Greetings Kenji-san! Well... I suppose I'm doing alright but I'm still a little behind on some lessons, particularly in English. And thank you, I'll just be having iced green tea and hm... A slice of the mobile suit themed cake." After a little scribbling of notes, the manager beamed a friendly smile and told her to await for her orders patiently. Her amethyst eyes (due to contact lenses) took a quick glance about the store for any familiar customers while her cake and tea were being prepared.
