{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:153|Yayaka (153)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yayaka is sitting under a tree, on a grassy hill on Radiant Heart Academy campus. She has the stick of a lollipop protruding from the corner of her mouth while she focuses on the hand-held gaming system held lazily on her belly. Her backpack is off to the side, and she doesn't appear overly concerned about the fact that there are classes in session, and she might be expected in some of them. She flawlessly maintains perfect marks in basically every subject, so she just aces the tests and spends the rest of her time slacking off.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's quite the life.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, with how cold it is these days, she would much rather be inside, but she keeps having teachers and hall monitors and other goombas coming out of the woodworks to tell her off, so it's really on the authority figures that she's out here instead of in clss, if you think about it. That's her story, and she's sticking to it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:151|Cocona Cocomine (151)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For her part, Cocona does her best to corral her best friend when she can. It's inbetween classes at the moment, but the next one is due, and lunch is over, so Yayaka should really be inside. The bluenette comes wandering over with her arms wrapped around herself, even in her coat, thanks to the cold. "Yayaka." she says as greeting as she walks up the hill. "You're going to get in trouble if you miss informatics again. Also, being out here is bad for your health!" She huffs out a steaming breath, as she puts her hands on her hips and looks down at the blonde lazing away with a videogame.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Why do you even have that on campus?" she asks disapprovingly.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's still five minutes before class if they get a move on.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:205|Iona Hikawa (205)}} has posed:'''<br>It's in-between classes right now and Iona is patiently waiting for the next one to start, her desk orderly and already set-up for the following lesson. Well, she is currently looking at her classmates, trying to come up with something to break the ice somehow, but nothing. She either gets pushed back or put on a pedestal, nothing else.<br><br>Her gaze wanders outside the window and the purple-haired girl fall on two students casually talking outside. Don't they know classes are about to start? One of them is even gaming! "I will be right back", she announces to her classmates. They would tell the teacher, no?<br><br>A quick run outside without breaking a sweat and she tells the two girls fussily "What are you doing here? Classes are about to resume."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:153|Yayaka (153)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The blonde-haired girl with the pink streaks barely looks up when Cocona approaches. "Hey, Cocona. Aren't you passing that class already anyway? You should chill out with me and just let your test scores carry you through." She frowns when she hears another voice, and glances up from her Bullet Hell-style game very briefly to see the purple-haired girl approaching. "What's it to you?" she asks before turning her attention back to her game. She's almost to the Extra Credit Bonus Stage!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But having two people nagging her has become enough of a distraction that is thrown off her game very slightly and she has to really focus. The stick of her lollipop works up and down as her eyebrows descend to assist in glaring the game into letting her win.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"It's in five minutes, right? I'll be done before then." Yayaka lies.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:151|Cocona Cocomine (151)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I need to study and do the homework so that I can pass the tests!" Cocona protests. Some people aren't geniuses who just succeed at everything, and Cocona isn't confident enough in herself to even consider trusting that she knows the answers without intensively reading through all of the material. She looks over in surprise when someone else approaches to chime in. She bows her head briefly in greeting. But she doesn't get a chance to say anything else, before Yayaka retorts about her game being done before class starts.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bluenette turns back to her friend again. "Ya-ya-ka!" she says, stressing each syllable of Yayaka's name as she stomps a foot in irritation (and panic. Lots of panic. If she keeps trying to convince Yayaka for too long, Cocona will be late too!!). "It's ''four'' minutes now! Please, let's go, or all three of us will be in trouble!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:205|Iona Hikawa (205)}} has posed:'''<br>Iona relaxes a bit when she realises the bluenette is there to convince the girl that's actually wasting her time out here. She bows at her in kind, before going back to address the prospective truant. "She is right, good marks comes from hard work and perseverance. You should be in there getting ready for class, not wasting your time with something that will still be there after classes are over."<br><br>Really, how hard it is to get? She wouldn't actually miss anything with that. "Listen, if you are doing this because you don't get that particular class, we can put on some study group and help you along. But you aren't going to actually achieve anything like this."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:153|Yayaka (153)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"...Ah!" Yayaka lets out as she is lectured from two directions at once, and gets hit by a bullet as a result. She lets out a mix between an exhausted sigh and a frustrated groan as she tilts her head back, and laments her annoyance to the heavens. =_= Finally, she says, "Okay, okay. I'm coming. I don't see what the big rush is. We still have four minutes after all." She starts putting her stuff away and gradually getting to her feet and retrieving her backpack.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'm already passing all of my classes. I'm fine." she assures Iona. Then she squints as she bends over to get her bag. "Who are you, anyway?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:151|Cocona Cocomine (151)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cocona puts on her eyeglasses and peers at her wristwatch. "''Three minutes''!" she corrects anxiously! She offers a hand to Yayaka to pull her up and get her moving, while looking over to the new face and apologizing. "I'm very sorry for the trouble my friend has caused you. I appreciate you taking the time to help her get to where she belongs. I'm Cocona, and she's Yayaka." she introduces on the blonde's behalf, because Yayaka's manners leave much to be desired.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Come on, Yayaka! Let's hurry! We're going to need to run at this rate!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:205|Iona Hikawa (205)}} has posed:'''<br>Passing all her classes? While she is staying away from them? To say Iona is skeptical is an understatement, and her face isn't exactly hiding it. "You can do so much better than a passing grade", Iona nonetheless decides to say. "And relying on your classmates to pass you their notes isn't helpful either, writing them down yourself helps with memorising", she starts dispensing tips.<br><br>"Iona Hiwaka, nice to meet you, Cocona-san and Yayaka-san", she introduces herself before shifting to a distressed look as the bluenette mentions what little time they have. They really risk being late like this!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:153|Yayaka (153)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Hai, hai, hai..." Yayaka mutters as she lets Cocona pull her along. She doesn't see a point in arguing about her grades with someone she just met, nor about her studying methods (namely, none). She slings her backpack over her shoulder as she hurries towards her class. "You take school really seriously, huh?" she asks idly towards Iona. It doesn't sound like she's complimenting the purple-haired girl, though she's not trying to insult her either. She just... Doesn't see the point in it.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She would honestly have just stayed right where she was, but she doesn't want Cocona to get in trouble, and it was clear her friend wasn't going inside without her. Sigh. She's such a softie when it comes to Cocona.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"At least this is the last class of the day..." she mutters as she crunches her Chupa Chups now that it's been reduced to a manageable size for chewing.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:151|Cocona Cocomine (151)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"N-nice to meet you, Iona-san!" Cocona gets out while running towards class, with a Yayaka being hauled behind her by the hand. She wants to ask if they can meet up after school to study, since she's the one who needs the help, but hesitates. Putting herself out there... She feels anxious about that. So, instead she just smiles towards Iona when they part ways, heading to their separate classes. "Thank you!" she calls out over her shoulder.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe she'll ask next time.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:205|Iona Hikawa (205)}} has posed:'''<br>"Of course I do", Iona replies nonchalantly, keeping a constant pace while they run to their classes. "Maybe you don't feel like it, but what we are learning is very important. If you want a study group, all you have to do is ask", she remarks just about before they split.<br><br>She even recites her phone number out loud just so the blonde girl with pink streaks knows she means it. Between her consistent top grades and her karate course, providing effective tips comes as natural to her as breathing. "See you", she exclaims before entering her classroom in the nick of time. She invited someone to meet up, she thinks warmly inside. Maybe they will take her up on it?<br> <br>
