She thought her life was pretty awesome.
She was healthy, she lived in an interesting city, she had enough money to put food on the table for herself, and her two cats of course.
Well, they weren't exactly hers. They just happened to always come around her door, soon enough she named them and gave them canned tuna any chance she had. The black one with white mittens' name was Captain Edward Alexander Charles the 3rd, the golden one with brown stripes that stretched across her back's name was Pixy.
I'm seriously forever alone. She thought with a sigh.
Shaking her head, she looked towards her pilling trash. Garbage day wasn't for another day, but the smell was really starting to bug her. With another prolonged sigh, she got up from her couch situated by the television. She grasp the large black plastic bag and nearly hurled at the smell. Opening her door, she decided to just barely drag her trash to the bin.
After an hour of trying to convince herself that she was just seeing things, she finally headed out for a light jog. She had to admit, she was starting to get a little chunky, therefore she shall jog to Sunshine 60. Of course after all that light running, she should reward herself with two chocolate bars.
Maybe three..
And a bag of Doritos.
It was Saturday after all, meaning romantic movie night for her. You can't have a romantic movie night without snacks..
That just contradicts the whole rule of it.
She bit her lip as she thought of the minimal choices. Ever since she had turned 16, she made every Saturday night, her movie night. Through the years, it had turned from comedy films to horror films to mystery films to now romance films.
As the sun started to hide behind darkening clouds, she rolled her eyes as she realized that it wouldn't take long until rain started to pour. From jogging to sprinting towards the nearest corner store by Sunshine 60, Reika entered before the water droplets could get her. Upon arriving she took a good look at her surroundings. Finally spotting a bag of BBQ Doritos and a variety of chocolate bars, she quickly walked over and snatched them. Just as she turned, she accidentally walked into someone's brick-like chest. She nearly stumbled backwards, but a large hand held her in place. Light brown eyes met with hazel, and she immediately recognized who it was.
"Hey sir!" She greeted him with a smile. "Sorry about that!"
He grunted, clearing his throat. "Watch where your going next time."
"Right." She nodded.
He looked as if he wanted to say more, though he swallowed it down.
"What is it?" She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head, passing by her. "My name is not sir. It's Shizuo."
She blinked awkwardly before giving a sheepish smile. "Well my name is Reika Sohma!"
After not receiving an answer, she assumed the conversation was over and proceed towards the cash register. Paying for her items, she quickly exited the store and headed home. Just as she had predicted, it was pouring. She tied her bag tight to prevent the water from slipping into her snacks.
"Her name is Reika Sohma." The cashier nearly whispered into his flip phone.
The man on the other end ear's perked as he was finally granted the information he needed.
"Reika, huh?" He smirked as he hung up on the cashier. Even her name was ordinary.
Still though, he couldn't resist the urge to type in the name into his computer.
