"Howdy sugah!" You say looking up to your masked and tallest classmate. "Welcome to the last day of the term! Nothin' but relaxin' ahead! How ya feelin'?"
>"Well enough." Shoji answers as calmly as ever while one of his extra arms shifts into an eyestalk to look at the paper on the wall over your head. "And you?"
It's fairly weird to have a chat with someone keeping eye contact with you and reading something behind your back at once, but you try your best to show it doesn’t bother you. Besides, it's easy enough to focus on Shoji’s frame instead, his exposed biceps in particular. A tiny envious voice inside you resurfaces to carp about not being allowed to wear the school uniform sleeveless as well.
"Way better than Saturday, that's for sure!" You answer with a small chuckle as you side-step out of the way for him. "Classes are basically over and we’ve got a campin' trip on the horizon! Hard to stay down with so much to look forward to, right? That's not even mentionin' I-Expo!"
Whether it'd be excitement for the coming events or just an overwhelming desire to leave your drama-filled first term behind, you can’t say. But now that you are saying it aloud, you bounce a bit on your heels at the thought of spending some extended time away from school.
>"It'll be a great time to unwind." Shoji affirms, looking at you and the rankings for a moment longer before briefly patting you between the horns and walking away towards his desk. "Just hold out a little longer, right Walker?"
"H-hey!" You mutter and shake your head to get your hair back to its proper comfy fluff.You peer back at Shoji in time to see Iida looking stunned at his teammate as he walks past him.
“Congrats on also moving up a spot, Iida. We’ll be able to rise further next time.” A new mouth stalk praises your friend while the rest of the boy continues on by to stash his bag.
>“R-right. Same to you.”
