Yaguchi
Yaguchi didn’t know how long she’d been asleep but she felt someone tapping at her shoulder. She tried to ignore it but they carried on tapping, she screwed her face up in annoyance.
“Egh….What?” Yaguchi moaned rolling slightly onto her side, not an easy thing to do on these small chairs.
“Excuse me, Yaguchi-san? I hear that you’ve just arrived?”
Yaguchi forced her eyes open slightly to see an attendant standing over her, she realised what she must look like, half-asleep and completely drenched. She stood up as quickly as she could and put her handbag over her shoulder trying to look as normal as possible, smiling probably a little too much.
“Ye-yeah that’s right, just got here this minute, just thought I’d have a little sit down you know?” Yaguchi continued to smile but she didn’t think it was such a good idea to, she knew she looked like an idiot, but she knew she’d look like an even bigger idiot if she stopped now. Thankfully the staff member didn’t seem to care to much, he actually seemed quite happy himself.
“Well it’s good that you’ve arrived,” he started, “I noticed there was no-one on reception and that this was your first time here so I thought I’d take the liberty of helping you get yourself sorted out.” The attendant continued to smile.
“Mm, sort out…?”, Yaguchi’s smile changed slightly to look a little more forced, and with a little hint of anguish. Sort herself out? Maybe there were some things she should have brought with her? Ruler? Pencil? Protractor? Compass? She hadn’t thought of anything like that, the smile changed completely to a pained look, she felt she’d already made a stupid mistake by not realising she should bring her won things with her, she would be doing work after all, it was common sense. Plus, she was sure she’d left the oven on back home, that had been niggling at her too.
“Yes, nothing really, just giving you your room number really that’s all for now.”
“Oh right, good good,” Yaguchi’s smile returned, she didn’t know quite what she had been expecting the man to say, just that she didn’t expect it to be good. She cursed herself for getting worried about such a stupid thing, but then she had the habit of thinking things were stupid afterwards, but worrying about them way too much hat the time.
“Yes, I wouldn’t worry yourself about anything just yet, you’re not the first to arrive today actually, Tsuji-san only made her way to the university a short while ago.”
Yaguchi couldn’t concentrate on the rest of the sentence, “wouldn’t worry yourself about anything…yet?” What did he mean yet? So there was something to worry about in the future?
“Oh, that’s good to hear. Wait…sorry, what did you actually say?”
“Er, Tsuji-san arrived today too, so you’re not the only one running a little late. In fact that’s who you’ll be sharing a room with, it’s the fourth floor, suite number 14, there’s two people to each room just so you know.”
Yaguchi was kind of relieved, although she knew she’d be nervous seeing her band mates again after such a long time away there was probably no-one else she would have liked to have shared a room with more. She always felt she’d looked after Tsuji in a way and liked to consider them to be quite good friends.
“I see you don’t really have any bags with you, is there anything you do need help with or do you want me to just leave you to it?”
“Leave me to it thanks, I guess I’ll start to learn my way around while I’m looking for where my room is.”
“No problem, if you get lost or anything just come down to reception and there should be someone on the desk.”
“Okay thanks a lot.”
Without wasting another second Yaguchi headed over to the dorms, she wanted to sleep. Now.
