April 9th- Afternoon

---

Aside from the issues during homeroom, the day went by rather quickly without much of a hitch. Oka began to gather her things from her desk. From the corner of her eye, she could see some female students waiting for her outside of the classroom. No doubt, it was their usual ritual. It was the first day of school and they wanted to have a chance at speaking with her.

As she stood from her seat, she noticed Ueno-san gathering her things along with...Ito Maki was it? Oka couldn’t imagine why the two of them would still be in the classroom but still it made her curious. Ito Maki was the last person she wanted to be associated with considering her reputation as of late. Oka wasn’t sure what had been going on or what she had particularly done, but she had heard plenty of things from the other girls in the school. It hadn’t really mattered to her, because as long as the girl wasn’t causing any trouble or made more work for her she had no reason to step in.

Oka made her way outside of the classroom where the other students had been waiting for her. ”Senpai~” One of the girls clutched her books tightly to her chest, pouting her lips. The other two stood next to her, mimicking the same face. Same girls, different year. It was always interesting to see these girls pandering after her when many of the other students kept their distance and admired from afar.

“Good afternoon ladies, can I help you all with something?” Oka responded coolly, offering her peers a light smile.

“We were just wondering if you were going to be having Kendo practice this afternoon,” One of the girls spoke up with a smile. All three of them looked up to her expectantly.

“Ah, no actually.” Oka responded and the girls seemed to get excited, invading her space a bit more. One of them elbowed the girl with the books. She shot them a glance before looking back to Oka.

“Then, that must mean maybe you’re free to come to karaoke with us this afternoon? I-I mean to celebrate the start of the new year.” She smiled.

“Ah, no. Sorry ladies. I have a Student Council meeting this afternoon.” Oka offered an apologetic smile, thankful that she always managed to have an excuse to not hang out with these girls. They had pursued her ever since they'd entered High school during her second year. Oka’s popularity amongst the students had gone up simply because A: she gave off an enigmatic aura because she never associated with any particular crowd and B: she was an upstanding student. If you combine the two, that’s a recipe for any high school student to be admired. Of course, there were other small details such as the fact that her father was the vice president of a large company and the fact that she was fairly well-off.

She felt like she was being treated like one of those characters in those games she had secretly played. It was hard to interact with other people like this; it made her feel overwhelmed at times.

Still, the girls accepted her response without much more push. It wasn’t out of the norm for her to be so busy but that never stopped them from trying at every chance they got. “That’s too bad.” She replied, looking a bit somber. The other two girls sighed. “One day we’ll get you to come out with us. Maybe next time. See you later, senpai!” She scurried off with the two girls and watched as they stuck closely together, chattering and giggling to themselves.

Oka turned the opposite direction and began to head to the student council room, feeling her body begin to relax again. “Don’t count on it.” The raven haired girl mumbled to herself. It wasn’t too far that she had to walk and when she’d arrived, she realized that she was the first one there. She thought nothing of it and sat her things in one of the chairs before peering out the window to look outside. There, she watched as the other students went home for the day. She wondered what Nakano-san would be discussing with them today.

As she suspected, Nakano-san was going to have a student council meeting after school today. She was the kind of person to plan ahead and immediately start working towards her goals. Although she did agree with her it was a little sudden for most people, Oka had already expected it. Nakano-san then began to start walking towards their classroom.

They were indeed in the same class this year. As they made their way to class 3-B, she watched as other students talked amongst themselves in the hallways as they walked by. Some of them seemed to have been careful around the student council duo, some smiling a bit excitedly as they walked by, and others were laughing. It was the first day so it was expected that people would have their ideas of how they felt they should feel about the student council, but something about this mixed bag made her feel uneasy.

She understood the ones that seemed excited and maybe even the ones that were a bit nervous but she was cautious about the ones that were laughing. Oka continued to walk quietly beside her, still observing their surroundings. They’d finally made it to their classroom when they were stopped by an emotional Ueno-san who’d been doing her best to keep it together as she spoke of her missing friends. As she continued on speaking with her, Oka noticed that the classroom was getting a bit out of control. Ueno-san’s voice was drowned out by the loud chatter amongst the students there.

It was then that she noticed the writing on the board. She read it aloud in her mind then immediately shot a glance at the students in the class who’d begun to quiet down as Nakano-san took a photo of the picture before clearing away the obscene message. Oka couldn’t believe that they would think such a thing about her. Did they really all think this through? Her own brother was missing as well, had they thought of that? The only thing a person gained when becoming student council president in the midst of several scandals was more problems. Again, Oka always thought her as admirable while the rest of them were too selfish to see it or take on the responsibility themselves.

Oka bit her tongue, choosing not to lose her cool here of all times. She’d done very well not to let anyone get to her. She could only imagine what else Nakano-san was bound to endure for the rest of the school year if people were already spreading foolish rumors like this. Instead of addressing the students, she waited for Nakano-san to return to where she and Ueno-san had been standing near the entrance. ”It may be best to continue your conversation later. We should quickly get to our seats so as not to cause more of a stir. We shouldn’t give them any more of a reason to talk.” And with that, Oka went to her desk in the middle row but near the window. She sighed, knowing full well the uneasy feeling she’d had was not going to go away anytime soon.

Oka sat quietly, waiting for the opening ceremony to start. The room was starting to fill quickly which gave her an indication that the ceremony was starting soon. She checked her watch and just as she thought, it was only a few minutes until the school year officially began starting with the Principal’s typical opening speech, followed by the Student Council President. Just before the opening ceremony began, someone called her name again but this time it appeared to be by a fellow student council member.

Ah, yes Ueno Emiha. The Student Council Treasurer. It wasn’t often that she’d spoken to her since her promotion, but it wasn’t like she had spoken to many people other than the President. Since her duties were similar to that of the President and her primary focus had been to support many of her ideals and practices, she took extra care to remain in the good graces of Nakano-san. Thusly putting all others on the back burner. She respected her strong ethics and her ability to face adversity head on. Many had heard of news of her father and it was quite the scandal. Oka's father, of course, was the first person to immediately tell her to be careful around her as not to allow her own reputation to be tarnished. It was funny how that was one of the few times she managed to see him at home and it was the first thing he wanted to talk about. That and of course his other favorite topics: grades and future plans after graduation.

Still, she couldn’t help but admire Nakano-san's ability to appear to not worry about the judgement of others.

Oka focused back on Ueno-san, ever impressed by her ability to distinguish who she was even with her lack of vision. "Ah, Nakano-san. As usual, she arrived here just in time. I’m sure she had a meeting with the other administration prior to the start of this." She replied before instinctively looking in the direction to where Nakano-san would be seated.

At the end of the row, Oka saw her seated quietly. She was sure that there had been a lot on Nakano-san's mind. It had felt like there was pressure coming from all directions since the incident five months ago and the hasty rearrangement of the student council. Her biggest hope was that the student council would be able to handle the challenges tasked to them.

It was shortly after having those thoughts, that the ceremony began. Several teachers came before the student body of Hinotori High and gave their usual pep talk followed by the Principal who stressed the importance of meeting certain expectations at the school. He touched on the renovations that had been going on with the school and the new auditorium that was being built. It would make sense for him to urge students to be on their best behavior while representing the school since it seems they did get a fair amount of funding based on their performance. And so far, that extra spending money was spent on an expansion of the school. She wondered what other activities they would be focused on this year.

Oka glanced over at Nakano-san, who was then called to the podium. She listened closely to her speech as she addressed the student body. A phrase resonated within her, Do all that you can to reach your full potential. It reminded her of the recurring dream she kept having every night. Or for all she knew it could have been a nightmare. Oka didn’t have a chance to reflect on the phrase too much more before Nakano-san continued on with her speech. As she spoke of the missing students, she was reminded of Natsuhime-san. She was such a sweet girl who radiated a warmth that was nearly unmatched at the school. She was the complete opposite of well...herself. She was highly popular but was able to carry conversations with anyone. The students really gravitated towards her and Oka felt like Natsuhime-san truly meant to build close relationships with her peers in order to best support them. Although Oka was popular with students, she found herself feeling awkward, almost incapable of building those bonds. Oftentimes she felt like she was being superficial with her responses and extremely careful of how she interacted with everyone.

With the last bit of Nakano-san’s speech came the uncomfortable tension from the adults in the room while the students quietly clapped. Of course, this subject was taboo. She quietly observed both Nakano-san and the administrative staff before turning her attention back to the front of the room where the principal dismissed them to their classrooms. Oka stood from her seat and made her way over to Nakano-san. “Good morning Nakano-san,” She greeted, choosing her next words carefully. She wasn’t sure if now was a good time to ask about her meeting this morning, so instead she opted with, “It may be early to ask but were there plans for us to meet after school today?”

April 9th- Morning

Golden hues slowly fluttered open, blinked slowly and attempted to adjust to the light peering into the room. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the smell of fresh bacon in the morning or the chipper sounds of family conversations that woke her up. Hell, her alarm wasn’t even the thing that woke her up.

She had hardly slept as is.

It was the dreaded feeling in the pit of her stomach that kept her up all night and it was the reality that her final semester was here that woke her up. She didn’t have a reason to feel this way. She should be rejoicing. She wouldn’t have to deal with the feelings of stress that came with keeping up with her image at school and hopefully have a fulfilling career once she was done. Or so she wanted to think. Her stress from school would just turn into stress from work and her job would likely be something that only her father would agree to.

She groaned quietly as she reached over and turned off her alarm before it could even make a sound at 6:35. Slowly she rolled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom where she began her usual morning ritual. The obvious was to brush her teeth and cleanse her face. She had read in a magazine that the new cleanser that she was using was somewhat popular with people around her age. She wondered if her classmates would even notice. She combed her hair and then put on her school uniform.

As she headed down the stairs, she listened to see if she could still hear her father getting ready for work and of course, when she’d made it to the bottom of the stairs she noticed that his shoes were already gone.

Figures

She didn’t know why she got up everyday expecting him to be there when she got up. He never was. She went and made her usual breakfast of eggs and toast and while that cooked she prepared her lunch. And while she ate her breakfast, she went over the grocery list for the week. These were how Oka’s mornings were spent.

Alone.

She cleaned up and put away the dishes and checked the time: 7:15a. It was just enough time to leave and take the train a little early just to make sure she wasn't late. It was another one of her father's many teachings about being early is being on time-- you get the idea. It just sort of stuck with her. So regardless if this was considered too early for most, she knew based out of practice that this was the best decision in case something came up. At least, that's what she kept telling herself everyday. As she reached for the door and put on her shoes, she checked to make sure she grabbed everything and then departed.

---

At 7:45am, Oka arrived at the school, she placed her items in her locker and changed her shoes to the indoor ones. She immediately went to the assembly hall and sat in the front row with her fellow peers in the student council. She had hoped that today went by rather quickly and without a hitch. And she also hoped that the new first years wouldn’t give the student council any trouble. This was her final year as Vice President and she simply wanted to finish it without errors. "Naomi-sama!" She heard a group of students shout behind her. Oka turned around and gave a gentle smile and wave before turning back to face forward.

She could feel a wave of anxiety wash over but she remained calm and collected externally. Still, it was always so embarrassing when they did that.

ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ

Oka has never been the kind of person to lose her cool over any situation. She's often quiet, but quiet not because she's shy or disinterested. She's always wary of her surroundings and the people she's near. This attitude comes from her father's teachings and lack of personal relationships she's had in her life. She's extremely ambitious and competitive, which is why she has made every effort to become part of the student council and is often revered at school with tremendous respect from her teachers and other peers. Image is everything for her and it has been the one thing she has clung to in order to make something of herself, as her father instilled in her.

ＨＩＳＴＯＲＹ

Oka was raised by her father, her mother nowhere to be found. Her earliest memory of her mother was when she was three years old, otherwise she knew nothing much of her. Her father never spoke of her and the only thing that was left of her was a picture of her holding Oka when she was child. Her father never remarried and was often very busy as she grew up. She was socially isolated, only learning how to communicate with adults and not very much with children. Since she was raised as an only child by her father, he brought her up to be careful and selective of who she spent her time with. Her father worked very hard at a small company before working his way up to become the vice president. And since his promotion during her first year, Oka has done her very best to make him proud-- to make him notice her. Rarely do they get to spend time with one another and often it has bothered her, but she has always remembered her father's advice once she got into high school that it would make her a stronger person to work alone. And so she did, very rarely taking the time to get to know anyone in her class or become closer to anyone beyond their given role in her life.

And then as her third year came rushing forward, she wondered if stress was getting to her. These dreams that she was having, the sight of a butterfly-- a room. She felt like it meant something, a premonition perhaps?

She wondered if her mind was urging her to break out of her shell-- to start to make a change. But as usual she ignored those thoughts and continued her mundane life. It's her final year of school and her last chance to make an impressionable memory of herself other than being the perfect student. Can she change?

o/ Hi there!

Hello--

I'm Entityx a 29 year old female. I'm not quite new to writing/roleplaying. I have been writing for about 16 years and probably roleplaying just as long. I would prefer if I didn't work with anyone under the age of 18. I would consider myself an Advanced writer who would consider writing with a casual writer. I can see myself being able to reply 2-3 times per week since I am working from home permanently and it just frees up a bit more time for me in the day. I would prefer to roleplay in a thread but will consider E-Mail or Discord. I don't really mind writing any gender. In the past, I did tend to write as Male characters more than female. If I had to choose preference though I do like MxF and FxF. I've never done a group roleplay so that's one thing that has interested me here on this site. I've written several original characters and some canon ones as well as I'm very much into anime.

I look forward to working with you all!
