After asking directions from upperclassmen several times, avoiding a group of second-years having a brawl in the hallway, and attempting to not get trampled by three guys twice her height, Kiba finally made it to a quieter stretch of the school. According to her echolocation, this was her stop; 1-A was carved into a protruding room marker just above the door. Sounds of conversation were coming from inside, but no brawls or (hopefully) no one so tall they couldn’t see her in her five-foot-two glory. She opened the door, peeking around the frame before entering the room and closing the door behind her.
Kiba blinked. Echolocated. Was there anyone there she recognized? The sketchlike picture of the room she received from the returning echoes showed her around fifteen other students there, one of which was taller than her even while sitting on what sounded like a reptilian appendage. She recognized the echoes of Takamoto and Kori, both of which were engaged in conversation, and a fairly good number of people were sitting in silence. No wonder this wing of the school was quiet, although the class next door seemed fairly rowdy.
Her ears involuntarily swiveled back to the tall boy with the snake tail. Kiba couldn’t help but be a little curious about him; plus, she didn’t want to intrude on either Takamoto’s or Kori’s conversations with other students. Better to get to know new people anyway, that way people knew others more and would have more options when it came to team exercises. I’m stalling~ Kiba thought to herself, slightly embarrassed. Go talk to someone, anyone, dumbass. Friends aren’t gonna walk up and plop themselves into your hand, go make some. Not everyone is like him. After her internal pep talk, she flicked an ear in irritation at herself, squared her shoulders, and started walking towards snake-tail-boy.
He was taller up close, and to her embarrassment, even though he was sitting, she still had to tilt her head slightly upwards to aim her eyes somewhere in his face’s direction. “Um… hi,” she said, kind of awkwardly. “I'm Kiba Shinjurui… uh… what’s your name?”
