Sarei slid open the door with a slam, causing a few looks from her classmates. She panted heavily, after running down hallways and up flights of stairs.
"Oy! Sarei-chan!"
A small group by the windows waved at her, motioning her to come over. As she did she found them doing something weird again. A silver-haired girl sat in the desk, laying out tarot cards, and having other people pick one to determine their horoscopes.
Other students around the room talked about normal teenager things; Weekend plans and new movies, idols and books. Her friends were different. Of course, her friends talked about some of that stuff to. However, they mostly spoke of anime, games and events and all sorts of things that otakus enjoyed. Sarei herself had never been interested in that sort of thing, but the only thing she was interested in was the status of her studies.
"Arugakime-chan, you should get Haruzaki-chan to draw a card for you," A black haired boy said.
"Ah- Sorry, Kamiga-kun, I don't believe in that stuff," Sarei replied.
"In that case your first card is the tower," Haruzaki butted in.
Sarei looked at the card and the two people falling out of a flaming tower, struck by lightning. Her face crinkled up to show her dissatisfaction.
"That's a bit rude, don't you think?"
"Not if you don't believe in this. I could draw your real card."
"Whatever."
Haru shuffled the cards and Sarei pointed to three cards. Haru put the rest of cards to the side. She flipped the cards over to reveal an emporer, the tower, and the fool. Sarei turned around, no longer really caring. That whole tarot thing was stupid anyways. Haru and the rest of them continued to talk while Sarei sat in her desk, reviewing her notes before the teacher walked in.
"Stand."
"Bow."
"Sit."
