I slowly open my eyes to find myself staring at the brightly lit room. "What time is it?" I mumbled as I glance over to my alarm clock. "…1:30 pm…great. I should probably get up, the movers will be here soon….But I don't want toooo~!" I wined as I rolled around frantically on my bed. Then stopped when my face almost hit the wall. "Whoa! That was a close one. But I guess I have to get up now, or else they might leave my stuff on the stairs..." I sighed and got up from my bed and stretched. Hearing a pop sound come from my back. "Ahhh that felt great." I smiled softly and headed out of my bedroom and into the kitchen. When realization hit me. "I can't really make food. When I don't have any pots or pans to cook with." I sighed and face palmed. "Just great." Knock. Knock. Hearing the knocking, I exited the kitchen and walked up to the front door. "Who is it?" I said. "Um the movers ma'am. We have some things that belong to a…Karasu Mashiba?" I opened the door and smiled at the mover. "That's me! Uhm..." I looked around for a brief moment. "You can put the boxes over there in the living room." I pointed to a giant (well not really more like normal size) empty room. "Alright me and my buddy will get right to it, but first could you sign this, to show that we showed up." He smiled at me while handing me the clipboard. "Sure no problem." I smiled back and signed the paper, handing it back to him. "Here you go." "Thank you. We'll try to hurry and bring your belongings in." He said and then he walked away. "Alright." I said and then walked back into my bedroom. To find I only had a bed, closet, and a dresser that had some clothes in it that I had packed in my car, and my alarm clock on top of the dresser. "Hmmm what color should I paint my room? Should I have roommates? This place is kinda big for just one person…..Oh! I gotta call sis and tell her I got here safe!" I pulled out my phone and began to call my sister.
"Hello~?" Said a girly voice. "Hey sis it's me." I giggled softly. "I got to the new place safe and sound. So you don't have to get freaked out, and think I got kidnaped." I heard her scoff. "Well sorry if I have an irresponsible sister who is very naïve." I blushed lightly. "Hey it's not my fault that I didn't know the dude at the movies was hitting on me! I've only ever had one boyfriend and we both know how that ended…" We both grew silent. I began to walk around my apartment to see what I have to work with, but some of my past began surfacing. So I shook my head. To clear my mind of the memories. "…Hey I understand, that you wanted to move away because of that… But you have to face the music, one of these days, you just can't keep running away." Her voice was filled with concern. I sighed rubbing the back on my neck. "I know, I know. I just… Just not right now... I just couldn't be there anymore…You know? The way people would stare at me… They would see me as a helpless little girl." I heard my sister sigh. "No one looked at you like that Karasu." I sighed again. "Look sis I know you didn't want me to move but I just had to because -" I stopped mid-sentence when I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Uhm excuse me Mrs. Mashiba?" I turned around to see one the mover's, I covered my phone. "We finished bringing up your belongings." "Okay give me one second please." I smiled softly and began to talk to my sister again. "Hey I have to go, the mover's just finished bringing my stuff up. I'll call you when I just want to talk to you or when I'm coming home to visit." She sighed. "Did you forget your going to the high school on Monday?" I pulled my phone away and stared at it, as if my sister could see my face of disgust. "You mean I have to go to that hell hole and I only have four days to explore my new environment?" I scoffed. "No thanks." "Would you rather be it tomorrow?" I could basically see her smirking. "No…" I grumbled. She chuckled with amusement. "Then Monday it is. Bye Karasu have fun~! Oh! And don't do anything stupid, like getting pregnant, selling drugs, or starting a gang alright? Bye bye~!" She hung up and I just stood there looking at my phone, then I remembered the movers. I turned around and walked to the living room. "Thank you so much for bringing my stuff up here." "Any time miss. Well we're going now." I waved to them as they left my apartment. I turned and looked at all of the boxes sitting on the floor. "Well… I have work to do." I rolled up my sleeves and began to put my stuff.
It was around 7:00pm when I finished putting my stuff up. "Ahh I'm so~ hungry!" I complained as I fell onto the couch. "Maybe I should go out to get something to eat, and probably go buy groceries…But what if there are perverts!?" I got up immediately at the thought. "But it's only 7… Do they come out at this time?" I pondered then I shook my head. "No! I won't let this stop me! I shall take this chance so I can go and get some food." So I walked to my room to get my wallet. Then headed to the front door, grabbed my car keys and left. "Alright where is a good place to eat?" I pulled out my phone and looked up some areas I could go to eat at. "Hmm Spades Sub Shop…meh I can go for a sandwich right about now. Heh and it looks like it's not even that far from here, so I can just walk there." I began my walk to Spades Sub Shop.
-Sometime later and a few blocks away-
"Alright all I have to do now is cut through the park." I looked at the park entrance and a strong wind blew. "Alright not creepy at all…" I walked in with caution. "I hope nothing happens…" Suddenly a noise came from a nearby bush. 'Why did I have to say that!?' Turning my head instantly to the noise. "W-who's there?!" I looked around frantically getting into a fighting stance. "Y-you wouldn't want to mess with me I k-know how to box!" I slowly began to walk towards the bush when a small black figure ran past me. Panicked, I turned around to see what it was, I came face to face with a puppy. "Aww well aren't you a cutie?" I bent down and picked up the puppy. "Hmm you don't have a collar?" The puppy began to fuss and jumped out of my arms, for it to only run away from me. "Aww." I pouted. "Hey. You okay?" A voiced suddenly asked me from behind. 'It's a pervert!' Scared at the thought, I immediately turned around. "Take this!" I screamed and punched the person, straight in the face. "Jesus fucking Christ!" the person yelled, slightly staggering backwards. I looked up to see a boy, trying to rub the pain away from his cheek.
