Following lunch the second half of the school day passed by just as dully as the first. Lecture after lecture, students chatting about this and that until finally the bell rang signaling the end of the day. Just as quickly as she did previously Rei stood from her seat and made her exit from the class. She had to make the trek back to the boarding house and gather her things before heading back towards the school and for the dorms. An annoying prospect having to go back and forth on foot but she had little choice otherwise.
When she finally did arrive back at the orphanage she scurried back up to her room, gathering up her clothing and the few belongings she kept during her stay, though most of it was inconsequential. The only relatively expensive thing she owned was her cellphone which she carried with her anyway. Thankfully it seemed the others she roomed with hadn’t came back yet or were elsewhere in the building so they could not make a nuisance of themselves. With her things shoved into a duffel bag Rei once again headed for the exit after leaving a note for the buildings staff. Even if she had no parents to tell she was leaving she still had to inform the boarding houses management even if it had become a yearly occurrence.
Her half hour was spent walking back towards the school and dorms, lamenting the orphanage being so far from the school once again. With that sort of travel time there was no way she'd arrive first meaning she'd be stuck with whatever was left over. Still, a little over a half an hours walk and she arrived at the dorm, swinging the front door open to see several people having already arrived, some even had time to deposit their things in a room. The girl sighed lightly before giving a wave, looking over the dorms entrance room. ”I guess you guys are the underclassmen I'm stuck with.” She began, stepping over to the stairs and taking a quick glance upstairs from the bottom floor.
”Lets all try and get along now boys and girls, I don't wanna have to start knocking anyone around!” She gave a grin and flexed an arm in jest, it was pretty obvious with her small stature that it would hardly be intimidating to anyone more confident than a baby bunny. Even if she figured she could really take a few of them it would never seem like it to most. Afterwards she moved over to a chair and sat down, dropping her bag beside her, eager to let her legs rest from the long walk. ”Nozomi, Rei. Third year, class 3-3, by the way.” She said casually, tilting the brim of her hat back a bit to look around the room again.
