Kagami sighed as he approached the front door of his new house. 'Ugh, this place sucks,' he thought for the hundredth time. He opened the front door, dropped his bag, and ran up the stairs to his room. He flopped onto his bed, suddenly aware that he now lived alone, and trudged back downstairs to close the front door and grab something to eat from the kitchen.

"Ugh, this place STILL sucks," Kagami said out loud this time. He opened the fridge: nothing. The pantry: nothing. "UUUGGGHHH"

The landline began to ring as Kagami closed the pantry door. "Why do these even exist anymore..." he mumbled as he answered. "Yo."

"Young man, you need to learn to answer the phone properly sooner or later."

'Ugh. HER again.' "Yeah, whatever mom."

"Look, are you moved in yet?"

"Yes, mom. I'm moved in. I only had two bags. How long could it take to unpack two bags?"

"(sighs) No need to get sarcastic with me. Look, don't forget to set your alarm so you wake up in time for school tomorrow. I'll call you every now and again."

"Whatever."

"Goodbye, Taiga."

"Bye." (click)

Kagami sighed in relief. 'Good thing THAT conversation is over,' he thought. 'I wonder if there's a convenience store nearby...'

Kagami stepped out the front door, closing it behind him and locking it. He shoved his hands in his old basketball jacket pockets and began walking down the sidewalk towards the town. 'This place is so old and run-down...I heard the school has only two-hundred students, too...' Kagami sighed, yet again. He was beginning to feel slightly depressed, so the second he saw a fast-food restaurant he immediately walked inside.

"I'll have twenty of those burgers at the top, and...nah, that's all."

"F-Forty, ninety-five, s-sir..." the flabbergasted cashier answered.

"Sure." Kagami pulled a fifty out of his pocket, accepting the change from the startled cashier. Kagami found a booth by the front window of the restaurant and sat down with his tray of burgers. He opened his first burger and began eating.

"Can I help you?" Kagami looked across the booth and noticed a small blue-headed girl, and began choking on his burger. He swallowed and gasped loudly.

"Where the hell did you come from?!" He exclaimed.

"Um, I've been here the whole time..."

Kagami thought back. "What?! No way! I didn't even notice you!"

The blue-haired girl sighed. "I know." She took a sip out of her drink. "You're gonna eat all that?"

Kagami was still awestruck. "You're eating only that?" he said, pointing to her drink. "We're both on equal terms at this point."

She took another sip out of her drink. "I come here all the time. This is all I need, anyway. Do you also enjoy vanilla shakes?" Kagami slowly took another bite out of his burger.

"All I need are these. I don't eat ice cream."

"This isn't ice cream. This is a shake."

"Smartass. They're the same thing."

"No they aren't." She took another sip of her drink. It did not take Kagami much longer to finish his food. At one point, he became so enraged at the small bicker, he began to eat much faster, soon having only one burger left. He quickly ate it and stood up.

"Well, I have to go, so-" He soon noticed the small, blue-haired girl was already gone. He grunted, shoved his hands into his pockets, and headed back home. 'I'll probably never even see her again anyway...she looked about ten. What was she doing out alone, I wonder?' Kagami sighed one last time as the sun began to set.
