Chapter 2 - NIGHT OUT

-PROLOGUE-

[Make sure to buy the melon bread, 'kay?]

"Yeah, yeah, I'll buy them for you."

[There you go with that attitude...]

"Why is it always me who buys your food? Buy your own for once. I'm not your maid you know..."

[Well I can't. I have to finish this project by tomorrow or else the teacher will nag on me again.]

"It's your fault for not finishing them last week. I told you not slack off but you just ignored me."

[But I don't want to do it. I'd rather play games than do this. Don't you know that there's a new released game in the game store?! I want to buy it but now I have to this...]

"That's exactly the reason why your hurrying right now! Gosh Nagisa, do the activities first before you slack off."

[You sound like Mizuno right now.]

"I'm understanding why she gets stressed when you bother her."

[Shut up, Yuzu. Just buy me that melon bread.]

"Yes, yes, I'm buying them. I'll go now, finish the project okay?"

[Roger that.]

——————————

"Thank you for coming." The cashier said as soon as I made my way outside the convenience store. Seriously that Nagisa, I became her errand girl.

There was still some spare time to hang around so I went to the manga shops to buy some manga. I recently finished the one I bought last month and it's time to finally get the next volume. I badly want to know what happens next. The story is so amusing that I never get tired re-reading them.

"Here it is!" I finally found it. I've been searching for a minute and I was lucky to find it. I also grab new sets of books that caught my attention. Good thing I finally finished my project, now there's no stopping me from reading all of these.

While I'm at it, I explored the whole store to see if there is something to add in my collection. There seems to be lot of them and it's really hard to pick. I have a limited budget since Nagisa didn't gave me money to buy her food.

After finishing my shopping, it was time to go to the dormitory. Nagisa stays in the dormitory unlike me because my brother wouldn't allow me. I don't know why but screw him.

It's almost time for dinner and I still have to give this to her. Gosh, if I knew, I would have just sleep her out.

"Aw, Yuzu, you really love me."

"Shut up, Isa-chan. Have you finished your project?"

"Of course!" Nagisa said proudly. "Am I that doubtful?"

"Well, judging by the way you act, I say yes." Her face suddenly change for the worse. Oh let her, as least what I said is true.

"I really am grateful for that." She said sarcastically.

"Your welcome, dear sister." I answered in the same tone.

After a little conversation, I headed straight home because it's already getting late, the gates will closed soon. Aunt will lock the doors and I don't wanna sleep outside. It's very cold today, you know?

[For the details, I don't really prefer adding too much because I think the genre won't fit it but it's completely up to you, just like that...]

Ugh, this is too hard. I can't understand it. I might have to replay this one more time. Who knew drawing a panel was this hard?

When I watch tutorials, I find it very easy and think that I might pull it off in one try...Well I guess I was wrong. The only good thing that I got about this is that I managed to convince my brother to buy me a draw pad. At least I can learn this step by step. It's not like I'm gonna be professional in a span of days...I need practice. Lots of it.

I replayed the tutorial one more time so that I could fully understand the steps. As I was finally getting that hang of it, someone knocked on my door.

"Yuzuha! Dinner's ready!" It was my aunt.

"Coming!!"

——————————

"How's the drawing going, Yuzu?" Nagisa tapped my shoulder as my head rests from my table.

"...It's so hard. I hardly did anything last night. I stayed up for nothing..." I was too sleepy that it was a miracle that I arrived before the bell rang today. What a weird coincidence...

"Don't give up so easily." Mizuno walks up to us and handed me my textbook.

"You always said you wanted to draw. Not like you're gonna master it at such a fast pace." Kaori said after, taking her textbook from Mizuno.

"I'll keep that in mind." I said and continue to sulk in my desk. I want to sleep. There's still time to rest so I just closed my eyes and let the time pass by.

"Kyouki...Kyouki...Kyouki!" My head quickly snap and instantly sat upright when I heard my names get called over and over. O-OW! The after-effects strike!

As I was regaining my posture, I saw a figure standing in front of me. I eyed closer and saw a blue coat worn by the person in front of me. Who wears a blue coat on school? Our uniform is black so--

"Done staring, Kyouki?" I looked up to the voice and immediately froze. Uh-oh....

It was a teacher...The math Teacher.

"I was wondering why you're not responding to me when I was calling your name...Ms. Kyouki, didn't the school teach you not to sleep while in class? What you are doing is disrespectful, do you know that?"

"I-I'm so sorry sensei...I slept late yesterday so--"

"No more excuses. Later on, I want you to come at the teacher's room after school, understand?" She said, tapping her fingers around her elbow as she waits for my answer.

"Y-Yes..." Geez, what a terrible day has become...

After classes, I met with the teacher and as punishment for sleeping at her class, she gave me an extra homework to be submitted by tomorrow. Not that I was aggravated by it, I mean, I have good grades in math, it's just that math takes a lot of time to finish. Especially in our lesson today which is a bit difficult. I guess I'll have to move the drawing tomorrow.

I bid goodbye to my friends and went straight home. While walking down the street, my phone buzzed and it showed someone calling me. I answered the call while I continue walking.

"Hello?...Yeah, I'm on my way home...Okay...EH?!" Seriously? Today?
