It was a beautiful day out, and given that she was (for once!) relatively on top of her assignments, Sora had decided to make the most of it. She would have brought her best friend along, but Amaya had been busy with something or other (hadn't been very clear what) and couldn't join her. Ah well. Such was life.
The loveliness of the day made up for the disappointment of being alone though. Pleasantly cool, just enough to need a light sweater, with a soft breeze, and hardly any clouds in the sky. On top of that, the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom. All in all, it made for a perfect day to capture some lovely photos.
While some dedicated photographers might bemoan the fact that Sora exclusively used her smartphone camera, she'd never been disappointed in the quality of her photos. Besides which, it was distinctly easier to sort through and decide if any of them were good on a smartphone versus a fancier camera, at least in her opinion. Which, really, was the important thing to worry about as far as she was concerned.
For now though, what she was most concerned about was getting a few good shots of the cherry blossoms, and anything else pretty that came into view. And hopefully getting someone to take a quick photo of her so she send it off to her parents. They did a video call every couple weeks, but they still liked to get updates in between those, and given the day, this seemed a good thing to share. Sora paused for a moment in the middle of the path as she spotted a particularly good angle, and snapped a quick couple shots of the blossoms overhead. Picking up her pace again, she glanced at the people around her, partially to make sure her brief pause hadn't inconvenienced anyone, and partially to see if there were any moments around that would make for a good candid shot.
There was no luck on that front, but she did spot a tree which would lend itself to some very nice framing for a picture of herself. And it seemed luck was on her side, too, there was someone standing right by it - someone she recognized in fact. Well. Sort of. Sora knew the blonde girl was a classmate of hers, but beyond that... yeah she wouldn't be able to tell you anything about her. Still, better than asking a stranger.
She approached the other girl with a wave and a smile. They were classmates after all, maybe the other girl would recognize her. "Hiya! Lovely day out, right?" Best to start by breaking the ice a bit. "I dunno if you recognize me, but I'm Sora, we've got history together right after lunch, Monday-Wednesday?" She held out her phone, camera already set up. "Listen, can you do me a quick favor and take a picture of me at that tree?" She gestured at the tree next to them. "It's too nice of a set up for just a selfie, ya know?"
