[x] Talk with Evelyn.
-[x] About the gym lesson.
-[x] About the afternoon.
[x] Plan with Evelyn during the lesson.
You clear your throat to get the blonde's attention, but she doesn't seem to react to the prompt, as she is simply gazing at the roof. You almost panic at the reaction, not sure what it means for you, but can't really act on it as Evelyn lets out a long sigh.
"It's not faiiiiiiir..."
The girl is speaking in French and it takes you a second to understand what she said. Your brief burst of panic turns into puzzlement and the other girl continues in her accentuated Japanese before you can think of a proper response.
"How is it possible for someone to be that fast? I swear, Kishi must be some kind of hidden pro athlete to be able to pull off those moves."
The sudden realization of what she's probably talking about dawns on you and you calm down a bit. However, that is still rather vague, so you find yourself somewhat curious about the exact events that must have transpired.
"U-um, what exactly happened, Evelyn?"
The girl slumps further on the her chair with a pained groan.
"Sorry about that Tamiko, but I had to let it out. See, there was basketball for gym and I got sorted into a different team from Kishi. We got into a... friendly competition. Long story short, that girl is a lot better at sports than you could guess at first glance, and I had to put everything I had into simply trying to keep up with her."
Evelyn seems to deflate as she explains the events. You briefly consider telling her that Kishi has certain 'unfair' natural advantages, but decide against it. This doesn't seem to be the place to talk about Magical Girl things. Instead, you attempt to divert the attention to more mutually pleasant topics.
"W-well, that's sports for you. H-however, I was wondering about the afternoon, and the trip to the city? D-did you get any ideas?"
"After this, I doubt I will be able to walk much... Are there any good places for ice cream or something to swallow down this defeat?"
You raise your eyebrow at the suggestion. While the thought has been expressed rather dramatically to you, it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab something to eat with each other. You can recall several different cafes and ice cream bars you've either seen or heard of, but none of them are truly familiar to you.
You don't get too much time to think about it in peace before the teacher marches into the class room for the last lesson of the day. It doesn't interest you as much, however, as it is already afternoon, and you have something much more interesting to prepare for.
As such, within five minutes you have ditched any effort of actually listening to the teacher, and turn to the extremely tired-looking Evelyn to discuss your plans. She doesn't have any objections about planning this during class, even if she makes an effort to be discreet about it.
You manage to conclude that going to some cafe in the closest mall to the school might be the best bet for this situation. After that, though, you don't have any idea, but you think you can figure out something once you are there.
After many agonizing minutes the bell finally rings, signalling freedom for the rest of the day. It is time to go.

Well, pretty much any kind of magical girl is going to be good at sports. Risking your life 'most every night tends to do that.
Not necessarily. As mentioned, she could just be holding back deliberately (even more than Kishi probably is anyways).

-[x] about the plans.

[x] Talk with Evelyn.
-[x]about the plans
[x] Go to the mall.
First things first, you immediately proceed to send Kishi a telepathic message to inform her about the plans for the afternoon. It is going to be a group activity after all.
'K-Kishi, you there? I decided with Evelyn to take a trip to the mall, and pick a cafe there. A-are you coming too?'
The answer from Kishi comes pretty fast. She sounds rather thoughtful about the thing, as if trying to figure out something.
'Y-yes, I-I'll see you at t-the school gates, I-I guess.'
One problem down for the count! However, now that you know Kishi is more or less free, you decide to satiate your curiosity. Evelyn was rather brief about the gym lesson and didn't seem too willing to talk about it after all.
'W-what exactly did you do during the gym? Evelyn looked like she had run a marathon.'
A prolonged silence meets you this time, and you are not sure what to make of it. Maybe Kishi is embarrassed about it? Your guess gets confirmed soon after by the frantic response you get.
'I-it's nothing, s-she just decided t-that she c-could get pass m-me. I-it didn't work the f-first time, n-nor the h-hundredth. T-that girl d-doesn't know w-when to give up... A-anyhow, meet y-you at the gates!'
With a very final exclamation Kishi ends the message, causing you to sigh. What the heck were those two up to during that lesson is something you're starting to wonder. Still, it seems that neither one is entirely willing to disclose it, so you simply turn towards Evelyn.
"I-I think we should go. W-we'll meet with Kishi in the yard and then go to the mall together."
Evelyn nods tiredly at you, not entirely registering what you just said.
"Yes, that sounds good to me..."
You shake your head bemusedly, but walk slowly with her out of the school. Seems that she wasn't kidding about having put her all into that P.E. lesson, as her steps are rather stiff and weary.
As per the agreement, Kishi is waiting for you near the gates. She looks rather embarrassed about something, but even after some gentle prodding she refuses to admit what it is about. You have your suspicions, though, but don't let that affect your mood or plans.
The mall closest to the school is quite near, and it takes you barely ten minutes to walk there even with Evelyn taking it slow and looking around the sights you pass. The mall itself isn't the largest in Mitakihara, but it is still incredible, and looking at the map near the entrance you can easily find and pick between several different cafes.

You quickly go over the map, searching for all the places you can recognize, even if only vaguely. There is so much to choose from, and it takes you a minute of hesitation to finally pick an ice cream bar you have heard is pretty good. You've never been there yourself, but there's a first time for everything, you guess.
Neither one of the girls has any objections to your suggestion, and some time later you find yourself sitting at a rather pleasant bar inspired by British tea houses and looking at your orders. Rather normal portions for you and Kishi, but as for Evelyn...
"...U-um, sorry for asking but what do you need 4 cups for?"
Much to your bemusement, the blonde is already halfway down her first cup of chocolate ice cream, which she is wolfing down like she hasn't eaten anything in several days. She doesn't even slow down as she briefly responds to you before returning back to her ice cream.
"It makes it easier to cope with defeat..."
You sigh in exasperation. What was it that caused the two to be so awfully dodgy about a simple competition?
"W-why would a gym lesson cause such... reactions?"
"N-nothing i-important happened, i-it was only a s-simple friendly c-competition, t-that's all..."
"Yup, that's all."
You stare at the two and pinch the bridge of you nose. Drastic methods would be needed to get anything out of your friends, and you are not really sure if you want to know what happened that badly yet. You return to your admittedly delicious ice cream for a bit before starting a new topic
"W-well, how was the day otherwise? I-I mean, it was the first one for this year after all."
"It was pretty strange to be honest, you need to focus really hard to keep up when the lessons are in a different language."
"N-nothing out of the o-ordinary, e-even with the t-transferring students..."
You take a quick look at the ice cream portions in the midst of the answers. Evelyn still has a single cup to go, Kishi is half-way through and there isn't much left for you. You are all soon finished.
"I-I found it to be pretty good, honestly. A-although I couldn't take part in the gym, this has been a good day overall."
You tactfully leave out just why this was probably the best day for you since you first came to the school. There is no reason to bother them with that.

We may want to consider talking about "ghosts" or more truthfully witches. The city has a nasty witch infestation problem, people go missing, mysterious accidents, the suicide cults, unexplained murders...
By how Mami explains in episode 2, the side effects of witch activity are noticed. And kids always come up with theories. Tomiko could (with Kishi's expertise) pass off some witch avoidance tips as avoiding ghosts. Don't walk in abandoned areas, if you see something out of the corner of your eye or something that should not be (familiar) run. Common areas where "ghosts" are reportedly seen, to leave when people start acting funny (episode 4)
We can use our own ghost sighting, and then end it with us getting hit by a bike and having to go to the hospital and make it sound related. We are held out of gym for a week, so we do have documentation backing us up. And if Kishi and Tamiko are caught talking about witches in general terms, it could be handled by saying it was just some ghost theories.
The masquerade is upheld because we are merely describing what is already known and applying another layer of deception. Keeping friends out of trouble is human nature, and Kyubey isn't likely to verbally complain about magical girls preventing victims from falling into traps if all they are doing is preventing is he?

-[x] Evelyn: What her previous school was like.
[x] Films: Unlimited Blade Works
-[x] Suggest watching it with your friends some time.
[x] Ask Evelyn about Ghosts:
-[x] This may sound a bit strange but... do you believe in ghosts?
-[x] It's just... I thought I may have seen one last night. I didn't get a very good look, but I thought it looked like a girl in a green dress. She was flying in the air and then suddenly she just disappears... I'd never seen anything like that before.
