Nat followed the bouncy cat hat girl down the hall as Rei and Alyla followed close behind.
"Omigosh, you're gonna love this sooo much, Nat Chan! There's snacks and drinks and all kinds of stuff!" Nikki chirped as she skipped down the hall.
'Okay Nat, it's nerd fest time.' Nat said as she walked in and took her seat in the anime club room, one used for the school's Japanese course judging by the word listings on the wall.
The anime club excitedly chatted as they were apparently excited about something.
