Arisa had managed to find the one area of the store where security cameras and bosses couldn't see- the far corner by the ice cream- and was at the moment, reading a magazine and eating a bag of chips, ignoring the world around her, including the irritated man stalking toward her.
"Uotani!" the manager finally found her but didn't manage to pull her out of her reverie. After much grumbling and stomping, he finally reached out and smacked the top of her head.
"Ow!" Arisa looked up and stared at the fuming man, startled, "Oh...yeah...I don't have any more work to do-"
"I told you to clean up the display in aisle two an hour ago!" His voice was hitting high octaves, making him sound more and more hysterical, "You're lucky nobody is willing to take such low pay, otherwise you'd be out on your ass already."
"I love you too." Arisa gave him a mocking grin before standing and starting on her neglected work.

Naru entered the Convenience store where Arisa-chan worked, if her mother asked her to go shopping...wht not visit her cousin aswell? Naru worked her way backwards through the isles...picking up the items on her mother's list.
She came to isle two and saw Arisa cleaning up a display,"Hi Arisa-chan!"She beamed at her cousin.

"Ah? Naru-chan?" For a moment she had not recognized the girl she'd only seen a few times a year, though she did truly enjoy being around her cousin, unlike the rest of her family. She had had just as difficult a childhood as herself and although neither spoke of it often they did have this fact in common. Arisa flashed a small smile at the girl and stood up completely straight.
"What're you doing here?" She scanned the store briefly for her aunt but realized that Naru had come alone, "I'm not usually allowed to talk during work but, for you, I'll make an exception." She winked at Naru, who knew all about her tendencies to disregard some rules.
Glancing down at the not-nearly-complete mess next to her she looked back at her cousin with an apologetic look "Can I finish this while we talk?" She picked up a package from the floor and replaced it on the display with a frown.

"Oh!I wouldn't want you to get into trouble on my account!"Naru gushed, waving her arms about. "I'm just doing the shopping for Mom"She said in answer to Arisa's question,"Ans to give a little good news!"She added.
"Mom enrolled me in Kaibara!I'm gonna be in the same year and class as you!"She exclaimed happily, wondering how Arisa-chan would react.

Arisa raised an eyebrow, confused by Naru's excitement about school, before realizing that this was a compliment.
"Naru, that's great!" Arisa grinned genuinely and gave her a thumb's up sign, "You'll fit in just fine-well, with the three of us anyway." Her face fell for a moment as she remembered that she, Tohru and Hana-chan weren't exactly high on the social ladder, but soon recovered and continued, "And there's plenty of cute boys as well...And, yeah, classes, whatever." She added this as she remembered Naru's bookwormly tendencies.
"When do you start?" Uo continued picking up the display as they talked, but her job was almost completely forgotten at this point.

Naru beamed at the fact that Arisa was happy,"I start next week!"She said, almost dropping her shopping, she'd met Arisa's friends once before and they were very friendly,"You think I'll fit in?"She hadn't done a very good job of it in her last school. "How big is the library?"Naru couldn't resist asking.

Uo nodded, one side of her lips raised, amused. "Yeah, you'll fit in. The school doesn't really have very many bullies-" she paused, as she realized she was probably the only student who could be classified as a 'bully', "Uh, library...Dunno, never been there." She shrugged, unable to recall an instance of studying in the school's bookworm asylum.
"So you haven't got a boyfriend or anything yet?"

Naru blushed at Arisa's question,"N-no!Not at the moment...."Her blush deepened, in truth there was someone she liked...but she had never even talked to him....

"Oh really!" Arisa stopped what she was doing and walked to the nearby counter. She ducked beneath it and produced a large backpack. Delving inside she quickly pulled out a handful of pictures and waved them in Naru's face like a hand of cards.
"So you wouldn't mind if I showed you these?" She smirked as she allowed her cousin to get a good view of Kyon-Kyon and The Prince's "best sides".

Naru blinked as the pictures were shoved in her face. There was one of a boy with gray hair and deep purple eyes...he seems nice...her gaze froze on the other,"W-who is this...?"She croaked out, pointing at the picture.

"Hmm?" Arisa looked at where her cousin was pointing. She raised an eyebrow, surprised that Naru liked that type....
"His name's Souma Kyou...I call him Kyon-Kyon...." She was trying her best to not burst out in a smile, so she could better survey Naru's reaction.
"Why, you like him? You sure you don't like the pretty boy here?" Arisa pointed at Yuki, just to make sure.

Naru coughed,"N-no...it's just that I've seen him around..."She lied through her teeth, she'd seen him around, that much was true.
