Perhaps that's what makes us human. PRIVATE oxo rp with @Periwinkle_

(we can do long wait if you want? that would make it a bit more suspenseful)

@saor_illust

(Alright then I will do my best to dig up more creativity from inside my mind to post a starter lol)

Saori was in the classroom, silently waiting. She swung her legs back and forth, waiting for class to start. Her eyes were cast downward, to avoid any eye contact. While she waits, she idly doodles a vague drawing of a sushi plate.

@Periwinkle_

After slamming her locker shut, Gwen made her way down the hallway to her first class. Her boots stomping (she didn't mean to, they were just heavy), she turned the corner and plopped her books down on a desk in the back, then slid into her seat. On the first day of school, she tried her best to be inconspicuous. In, and out. That was her motto.

She was early, so there weren't many kids in the room. Well, maybe about half the kids were in the room. She looked around, trying to find people that she was glad to have in her class. Maybe not people she was friends with, per say, but people with whom she was on good terms.

(I have to go now, I will be back in like a couple of hours tho)

@Periwinkle_

(okie dokie see ya soon!)

@saor_illust

Saori jumped at the sudden noise. Looking up, she saw a newcomer. She saw the new girl looking around. She debated talking to the girl in her head, but the logical side of her brain told her that they looked kinda similar. So talk she did. "Hey," she called out lightly, softly.

@Periwinkle_

Gwen looked up from her desk to find a girl with similar features calling out to her. Skeptically, she raised her hand to wave. “Hi,” she replied.

@saor_illust

"We look kind of similar, don't we?" she asked, hesitantly.

@Periwinkle_

Gwen nodded. “Yeah we do. That is pretty cool,” she shifted in her seat a bit so she was completely facing the girl.

@saor_illust

"Yeah it is!" Saori replied.

@Periwinkle_

“So do your parents look like me too?” Gwen asked, occasionally looking up from her notebook. The more she thought about it, the weirder it was: apparently there are about seven people on earth that look like each other. So what were the odds that two of those seven would be in the same homeroom?

@saor_illust

"Uh not really, they're american, not at all asian, though my mom has black hair too," Saori explained. "Who are your parents?"

@Periwinkle_

“Actually it’s parent, single. I’m adopted and I live with my adoptive mother.” She tapped her fingers on her desk. “So we’re both adopted, huh?”

@saor_illust

"I guess so," Saori replied.

@Periwinkle_

Honestly, at that moment, Gwen didn’t think much of it. I mean, sure, it was interesting, but that was about it. But this girl did have a really cool hairstyle, which was enough to make her want to keep the conversation going. Little things like that tended to intrigue her the most.

“Huh. By the way, I like your hair.”

@Periwinkle_

(Ok I’m up waaay past my bedtime so gn!)

@saor_illust

"Huh? Oh thanks, it's really easy to do, which is why I have it. Personally, I would tie it up if it came to it, but mostly I like it down," Saori looked up at Gwen. "Your hair is cool too!"

@Periwinkle_

She smiled at the girl and stuck her hand out. “My name’s Gwen. Nice to meet you. What’s your name?”

@saor_illust

"Nice to meet you Gwen, I'm Saori-chan!" Saori shook Gwen's hand, beaming.

@Periwinkle_

"Cool name, too," she smiled back, although her smile wasn't as full of energy. "It sounds Asian, like Japanese maybe?"

@saor_illust

"Yeah! Actually it is Japanese! I like to stick to Japan's cultures, so I've adopted the nickname Saori-chan! You have a cool name too!" Saori exclaimed, happy that she knew a classmate. Friend, hopefully, she thought.

@Periwinkle_

"Thanks. You know, I'm Japanese. Although you probably already could tell," she laughed. "Unfortunately I don't really know much about Japanese culture though."

@Periwinkle_

(after them getting to know each other a bit more can we skip to the end of the school day?)

@saor_illust

(sure)

"Oh cool!" Saori replied. "Maybe you could come over to my place and we could chat a bit more than a school day allows?"

@Periwinkle_

"Uh, yeah, sure. I guess Abby wouldn't mind. I'll text her, she'll probably reply before school is over." To be honest, she wasn't really looking forward to it. She had a problem making friends, and this girl wasn't exactly her type. But, she didn't want to be mean, so she went ahead and said yes.
