Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, just this story and the unfamiliar characters! I'm sorry if the characters may seem OCC! Enjoy!
I would say that I was a normal girl. Senior in high school and perfect for the part of a quirky, outcast extra with a few lines in a high school drama. You know, those weird kids who are only there to explain some of the plot and state the obvious. I wasn't very social and I didn't have any plans for the future, I was merely floating through life, waiting something to change me. That was before my timely death... And strangely active afterlife which followed after. But in order to fully comprehend my story, we'll have to go back to five years prior to the present.
~~August 19, 2014~~
The day was beautiful, a little on the warm side and bright but not blinding. The birds were chirping and the flowers were blooming, giving off pollen which made the more sensitive to sneeze and curse. It was a perfect summer day for frolicking in the freshly cut grass and having picnics in a nearby park. Everyone was out doing just that except for a small group of men who were working hard under the hot sun. It was moving day for young Sophie Green, 20 years of age.
"Hey! Be more careful with that box!" She yelled at one of the movers who were hired to move her extensive amount of things to the house.
A loud crash near the rear of the moving truck made the young woman whip around, long blond hair slashing through the air. Her jade eyes narrowed in on the general area where the sound came from. Flames of rage burned brightly in her eyes as she stomped quickly over the rear of the truck.
"What happened?!" She snarled viciously.
"Whoops!" A timid, yet clear and loud voice replied along with a nervous laugh.
She groaned as her childhood friend, Rin Harding, came into view. The brunette merely rubbed the back of her neck not too gently before glancing up at Sophie, biting her bottom lip. She stood by a pile of fallen suitcases full of clothes- now empty due to the clothes having a spontaneous and rather forced affair with the ground. Her guilt ridden body language made it clear to her that the sound was the cause of the girl's usually case of mishaps.
"Sorry?" She chuckled, as though she was merely caught sneaking a bit of cookie dough by her mother. A bit proud of having gotten far yet scared and nervous to be on the receiving end of the punishment.
"RIN! How dare you!" Sophie screeched as she joined her in stuffing her clothes back into their rightful place. "Just what in the world are you doing? I told you to stay in the car so things like this wouldn't happen!"
"I got bored! And hot." Rin complained, "Just be glad there aren't any puddles or anything!"
"You should be the one whose glad." She blew stray strands away from her eyes before turning to glare at Rin. "If you're bored then just wait in the cafe down the street! We should be finished before you get bored again."
Rin nodded, though obviously disappointed and only agreeing due to guilt from causing the mess. Sophie huffed in annoyance before ruffling her hair to show she wasn't mad at her. She had quite a huge soft spot for the younger female after all. Rin smiled brightly at Sophie before scurrying away to the cafe that she had mentioned. Sophie sighed as she turned back to the work still left.
"Let's get this over with guys!" She shouted. "I'll treat you to some popsicles after!"
A chorus of deep 'Yeah!'s and the shuffling of objects sounded behind her as she turned to watch Rin bounce down the street and turn the corner. Before she did though she turned and caught her stare. She smiled and waved widely while jumping in acknowledgement to Sophie's stare. She merely smiled back and waved normally back to which Rin took as a sign to continue on her way. She quickly turned the corner after shouting 'I love you' at Sophie. Who smiled softly before shaking her head in amusement. She would have to buy that girl some chocolate later for being so sweet.
But that was never to happen considering that that had been the last time she saw her best friend, who disappeared like a mocking mirage caused due to the heat of the summer.
