My name is Kurumi," she smiled as she gave his hand a gentle shake and bowed her head a few times. She really needed to remember to pick one or the other when doing greetings. Mixing both cultures together usually ended up making her just look awkward.
She looked at the stack of books and tried not to giggle too loudly. "So, I see you are a Shakespeare fan?" Truth be told, she hadn't read any of his works in their original English. They all had been translated into Japanese.
Christopher grinned and tried very hard to suppress a chuckle as the girl shook his hand and bowed at the same time. It wasn't because he was laughing at her, it was more that he was relieved that he wasn't the only awkward kid at school.
"It's nice to meet you too, Kurumi. I like your name." There he went, being just as awkward, though surprisingly enough it wasn't as bad as it usually was, though most people complimented others on their clothing or something, rather than their name.
He turned around, looking at the towering pile of books and he blushed. Not all of them were Shakespeare, but a good amount of them were. He pushed his dark hair out of his eyes, which were a rather eccentric shade of electric blue, and looked back and forth between his book and Kurumi. With a timid laugh he said jokingly,
"How could you tell?"
