"Ahhh! Oh my god!"

Sena jumped out of her skin at the high-pitched shriek that echoed through the halls.

"Narumi Sena-san! Oh my god, is that you?!"

Sena turned around, obviously shocked and bewildered at the fact that someone had recognized her. And that they made it so obviously known that they recognized her. People in the halls turned and stared at the raven-haired, squealing girl who was running up to Sena. Quickly, she held out her hands in a placating motion to calm her fan down. "C-calm down! You're shouting!" she said gently.

"O-oh! I'm so sorry!" Quickly, the girl gave a low bow, then lifted herself back up with a bright smile. "But I just... I can't believe it's you! Do you really go here, Narumi-san?"

"Ah, I do," Sena said carefully. "I'm surprised that you recognized me. I didn't think I was so well-known-"

"Of course I know you!" the girl gushed. "You're so beautiful, and I've always admired you, Narumi-san! So many of the girls I knew in junior high liked you..." She smiled shyly. "You're the reason I realized..." The girl trailed off, then shook her head. "I just... Really like you, Narumi-san!" Her eyes widened, here. "That hairpin! Oh, you used it in a recent photoshoot, didn't you?!"

Sena giggled shyly. It was so rare for someone to recognize her, to let her know that they admired her work. She was just a model, not an idol or anything - though she had occasionally worked with them. She would be willing to bet that this girl first discovered her through one of those shoots or videos, not through something she'd done on her own - but the girl's excitement was sweet to see anyway.

"Yes, I did," she said softly, eyes twinkling as she looked at the girl. "What's your name?"

"Ah... I'm Takamizawa Arisa! I'm a first year, in class one!"

"It's lovely to meet you, Arisa-chan."
