And now...Utena.

Thanks for reading!

      Her basket rapidly filled up, particularly with the addition of
the huge hardbound chemistry text. She saw that she'd have to make a
separate trip to the copy shop to get the remainder of the required
class materials.  She resolved to sit down with the books and her
class schedule to make sure her backpack would hold what was needed
for each class, knowing that she'd likely have to make periodic
trips back to her dorm room.  She wondered how she was going to get
even this load back to her room.

My. Quite a few books, to be sure.

It was a while ago, but I remember my first term, oh yes...

      Utena's breath caught in her throat, and she reflexively
interposed her laden basket between them.  She finally managed to
choke out, "Saionji."

interesting choice. And I don't think anyone other than Wakaba was glad to
see him. :)

      With a last wary glance at Saionji, Utena made her way to the
front of the store as fast as the crowd would let her.  She didn't
let herself look back as she waited in the checkout line, but stared
resolutely out the front windows at the passing street traffic.  Not
until she'd paid and packed her new books into two sturdy sacks did
she take one final scan across the store.  She saw no sign of
Saionji.  Feeling suddenly paranoid and silly, Utena hefted her bags
and began the trek back to her dorm.

There will be others. :)

Of course there will.

      Winter had given way to a crisp, windy spring.  Utena's heavy
sweater kept her comfortable enough but

enough, but

 halfway home she found

herself wishing she'd brought her gloves.

drop 'her'. Not needed.

Both noted. Thanks.

      Utena studied the slight-framed young woman, her short cut hair
moussed up into spikes, giving her a sprightly appearance.

Blech. Never liked that look

Yuki: I don't recall asking you. :-P

      "So is he cute?"

Utena; In a moron sort of way. My best friend loved him to death.

Heh. Remember that you said that.

Interesting work. Will get to the second part some time.

Hope it'll keep your interest. Chapter three is well underway, but my
muse keeps getting distracted and real life just ... happens.
