Sutāsora High, an All-Boys school for aspiring Astronomers, has just so recently held a sort of contest, in which those who enter have the possible chance of winning acceptance into the very prestigious school, regardless of whether they were male or female. And, by pure luck alone, the winner of said contest was a young female by the name of 'Yui Hiromi', currently the first ever and only girl to have ever attended Sutāsora.


Of course, her attending the school does not go without notice by the other students, as she does end up getting a bit of unwanted attention at first, much to her own chagrin. That is, until she ends up befriending one of the boys, and suddenly all of her previous worries begin to simply vanish. . .

Ｙｕｉ Ｈｉｒｏｍｉ．
16 / female / aspiring astronomer.

Yui could generally be described as a very calm and collected, but somewhat brash young girl. Although actually rather intelligent, she tends to fall behind on most of her classes very easily, making her a far from Grade-A despite her intelligence. She prefers to pay more attention to the smaller things in life, rather than the big picture of things. Yui is also a rather organized person, and tends to get quite easily flustered when things don't go according to plan. She is commonly seen wearing the standard female's uniform, and is rarely seen not wearing it when attending school, despite the school itself not having a very strict dress code. The worst she does to change the uniform in the slightest is leave the jacket open a couple buttons and wear a more ruffled, white dress shirt underneath.

She has rather short, dark brown hair stopping at about an inch or so above her shoulders, that almost appears to be black in some lighting. The bangs of her hair are loose and a bit choppy, hanging just above her dark colored eyes. Yui has something of a short stature for her age, much to her chagrin, standing at the height of 5'3, accompanied with a rather petite figure, but strong legs that enable her to run for long periods of time, and not to mention they don't have a bad kick to them either.

.... . .-.. .-.. --- Haruki, on the surface, seems like a sweet, but quiet, and just all around nice individual. It's very difficult for anyone to get him angry or sad or scared and harder still for anyone to see him in such a state. He seems very much an introvert, keeping to himself and staying in empty classrooms most of his free time.
But, that's only just the surface, isn't it.
Haruki is actually quite eccentric. He likes to come up behind people and scare them half to death; maybe he'll decide to try a strawberry popsicle with ranch dressing if he feels like it. Or, at least, he would if he wasn't so scared of getting kicked out of the school. And that's the main thing that keeps this boy from his real self. Despite his oddness, he is a realist, with perhaps a bit of a habit of being on the pessimist side. He always seems in quite a hurry, making it so he often misses the small important things, to the point that he can seem rude to a person.
He doesn't even really want to be here at this school. Astronomy was never his thing, but it was his parent's. His mother and father themselves were both astronomers and his whole life they expected him to grow up to be just like them. When he showed interesting in painting instead, his parents panicked and decided all he needed was the right school to go to, which happened to be Sutāsora High. The boy has grown to like astronomy to an extent and can go through his classes a little happy, but he has started an art club (so far with the number of members being one) so that he can still find solace in his paintings. His grades are always straight A's. He keeps them that way for his parents, but they wouldn't be if he didn't acquire some... help from other students occasionally. To be honest, he has a bad memory, making it easy to forget when assignments are due.
He doesn't really have many friends, mostly since he has a difficult time making them. He's not shy or socially awkward, in fact, many people like him, but he hasn't found anyone who he would think of as a friend.
Haruki dresses simply, usually just the school uniform with a hat of his choosing (he might have a slight obsession with hats). As soon as he can, though, he likes to get out of the school uniforms as he finds them very uncomfortable. Usually, he just wears a simple white shirt and pants, but he'll dress up more or less depending on his mood. His brown hair is often a mess,--a combination of him not caring about it and of wearing hats all the time--and his eyes have the same brown hue. For the most part, he doesn't care much about his appearance and isn't self-conscious about it at all except for his height. He's 5 foot 5, making him one of the shorter guys at the school. He's not afraid of staying this short, however, as both his parents are 6 foot. One thing he does like about himself, though, is his deep voice. It is a little crackly at times, and just all around rough, but it has a nice tone to it (he thinks) that makes him almost feel like a radio announcer. A lot of people are a little off-put by it at first since the sound doesn't match his looks.
As for Haruki's past love life... Well, he's never had a girlfriend before. He just hasn't found girls that interesting in the past. But, perhaps, he just hasn't come across the right one yet. It is an all boys school after all. Speaking of which, when it was announced that there was going to be a girl at the school, he became extremely nervous. He doesn't have much experience in dealing with them since he has been to all boys schools all his life, and he has a surprising lack of siblings. For the most part, though, he figures he won't have to worry about meeting her and therefore won't have to worry about talking to her.

Oh wait. This is a romance isn't it...

((Ahh, goodness, he's adorable! ;o; and your form is so nice and detailed, I feel like I should written more for mine now.))

[aiu]

{{Aww thank you!
And I honestly think your form is great just the way it is. I just write whatever random thing that pops into my head so it gets jumbled...}

[Tako Otoko]

((Ahah, I usually do the same, although the stuff I end up writing doesn't often come out quite so neatly. ;A; Anyways! would you prefer to start first? or would you like me to? If you'd like me to, I could certainly do it right after I go outside for a bit, which shouldn't take very long. o':))

[aiu]

{{You should go first. I'm actually on my phone at ballet right now and I have to go into class in 25 minutes or so. I'll be back about two hours after that to reply. Or I can go first, but it will take me two an a half hours to post plus the time it takes to write it so it depends on you. I'll let you choose.}

In all honesty, Yui was so nervous about her new school that she just barely made it out the door, and even almost got herself lost on the way there. Although, whether the latter was intentional or not, only she knows. On one hand, she was excited by the fact that she'd be attending such a prestigious school, that she likely wouldn't have been able to attend otherwise, but on the other hand... Well, it was an All-Boys school. And she would be the first and only girl to have ever been permitted to attend it. Now, she wasn't necessarily one to be off-put about the idea of being around a boy or two, but a whole school full of them? where she would be the only female there? It did make her a bit nervous, she couldn't lie about that.

It might not be so bad, though. Maybe she was just exaggerating a bit when she thought about all of the attention she might get. Maybe the men at the school weren't ones to be immediately interested in any girl they saw, or at least she hoped so. Yui never considered herself to be very attention-worthy anyhow, so it was pretty likely that she had no true cause for worry. Or, again, at least she hoped so.

It was too late for her to turn back now, anyhow. even if she was still somewhat worried, since she was already standing in front of the large, silver gate that once she stepped through, there was definitely no running away.
''I-I'm just here to learn, that's it, and so are they. There's nothing to be afraid of, Yui.'' And there she goes, quietly talking to herself with one free hand on the gate to push it open, and the other clenching tightly onto the strap of her schoolbag. She wasn't sure why she spoke to herself so much, since she honestly disliked her own voice. It sounded much too soft and gentle, to the point where even when she got angry, her voice still sounded a bit too soft for anyone to actually take her seriously. Or at least, to her it did.

((I guess I'll go ahead and start while I have the free time, then! I hope this is alright, and let me know if you'd like me to change anything so it makes it easier to reply if you're having trouble writing a reply up!))

ʜᴀʀᴜᴋɪ ᴍɪᴋᴀᴢᴜᴋɪ↫
ooc: sorry it took so long. we stopped to eat on our way home.

Haruki's gaze lingered on the smooth surface of the lake a little longer. Last night, he'd watched it move from this ugly shade of green to a beautiful shade of midnight blue speckled with stars. That morning, he'd seen it catch on fire as the sunrise came and then fade into a peaceful blue and back into the green. By any standards, this lake was an ugly one. Unless you came at the right time, it was always murky, filled with yellow-ish froth that looked like mold and covered in algae that seemed to rise and fall away from the surface in a slug-like manner. It was disgusting. But Haruki knew when to come. He knew how to touch the stars and the moon, to become closer to the thing that he hated. Well, that he thought he hated. Perhaps 'the thing that he could now stand'? No that didn't work either...
Before he even realized what he was doing, the boy pulled out his phone and clicked the 'home' button. The time seemed to rise off the screen just so his eyes could catch a glimpse of it. Time to go. He heaved a sigh and cast a longing glance at the beautiful-ugly lake as he stood. He'd come here every year, the night of his first day at Sutāsora High. Those nights were always the sleepless ones, thus the ones that he wanted to see the beauty of the world he felt he always missed in his busy life.
"Good-bye," he whispered, knowing that it was only just a lake and that lakes couldn't talk back, but he did it anyways. As silly as it seemed, it brought him comfort. It wasn't logical, and he hated being logical, so that was just the right thing to do.
Haruki allowed a smile on his face as he plugged in his headphones and stuffed the earbuds into his ears. Music only competed with painting as his main interest, although maybe he should count astrology as it was the thing he spent the most time on. He shook his head. It didn't matter, so why think about it? The song switched to something sweet and sad, and he quickly skipped it. He loved the song, true, but he had no desire to listen to it right now. Today was a day when he need to be upbeat. After all there was a girl to welcome to the school.
As he'd been walking along, he'd completely forgotten to pay attention to where he was going. It was only now, when he saw the tips of well-pruned tress and a telescope, that he realized how close he was to his final destination. His gaze shifted from the horizon to where he was going and he stopped in his tracks.
The infamous girl student. Standing right there, in front of the gates.
Okay, just don't look at her Haruki, he thought, if you don't make eye-contact she won't notice your there. He started forwards again, keeping his gaze down until he could see the edge of the silver gate. Keeping on his heel, he turned to face it and waited patiently for it to open. He'd seen the girl put her hands on it so that must mean she planned to open it... right?
He waited several moments before looking up. The gate still wasn't open. The girl still just stood there, her mouth moving.
"Oh!" Haruki said, pulling out one of his earbuds, "Excuse me? I couldn't hear you." He pulled the second earbud out and stuffed them and his phone into his school bag in his hands. He smiled at the girl expectantly.

She knew that she had to hurry up and just open the gate sooner or later, since she couldn't just stand there all day like a fool. But though she knew that, the girl still hesitated with her hand on the gate, and her eyes locked onto her feet. She didn't seem to be paying attention to anything around her, being much too focused on her own thoughts, so when she heard a young male's voice speak to her it pretty much immediately snapped her out of it, along with making her jump a bit as she looked over to the source of the voice.
''Ah! Wh-what? Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you, I was...'' Yui replied to the boy, before her voice began to trail off somewhat. What was she supposed to say? That she was talking to herself? That would likely just make her seem like some crazy person. She was a horrible liar, though, so it was difficult to think of something else to say.

''Anyways, do you always sneak up on people like that? You nearly scared me half to death!'' What better way to avoid lying or seeming odd than to just change the subject, right? That was the best thing she could do without making things awkward.

((It's fine! sorry that my replies may be a bit short from now on, I kind of go all out on the first post and then after that I tend to just relax a bit and let them drop kind of. unu))
