She was late. She was really, really `late. It was not a surprising thing for her to be late, but it was what she was trying to avoid for awhile. Once you fall into a habit, it's hard to get out of it. She scolded herself as if she was scolding another person. Wednesdays usually meant early mornings but it was a habit, a sad and irritating habit to stop by at Lucky café writing on her journal.
It wasn't irritating writing on her journal. Although, she'd be guilty if accused of forgetting the time when it comes to literature.
Stopping at the café while writing on her journal meant passing the time while waiting for someone and that someone used to be someone special. Sad, ain't it?
Erika finally reached her locker and spun the lock, afterwards she shifted her weight to her left leg while bending a bit to take her right outdoor shoe off, replacing it with indoor ones. On the process of doing the same thing to her left feet, she leaned sideways facing the entrance of the school. Just as she stood on both feet wearing her indoor shoes, a blur of red hair was coming towards her and when that blur of red hair passed by her bumping against her shoulders, the force knocked her off.
"Ouch!" She rubbed her shoulders, ignoring the pain on landing on her bum.
"Sorry!" The red haired guy shouted, and knowing her meek personality she would have accepted the apology with no problem but then he added, "You're a munchkin, I didn't see you."
The guy was tall, and loud and rough as he hurriedly went through his locker. And the fact she was only 5 foot tall should have been taken account to reconsider telling off the guy even when it's still in a mild tone.
"I know you're rushing because I'm also late, and as much as I'd accept your apology did you really have to insult my height?"
The guy ignored her, muttering a string of words and she only picked up a few words practice, Kuroko (she mentally shook the interest in her head), test, burger, basketball and phone. Then, she noticed the guy was leaving she called him out but the guy was rushing, she looked at her hand and threw her right outdoor shoe. She wished she could say that her aim was perfect but the truth is that it just sailed over the guy's head.
He turned around, irritated and she could imagine a vein popping on the guy's forehead. She felt panic, regretting her decision. The guy looked menacing and she was indeed a munchkin standing before him as the red head crossed the distance.
"I said I was sorry." He was not in a mood to deal with girls like her. First off, Kagami slept in late and is now undoubtedly late. Second, his pride was still bothered by what Kuroko said that he doesn't stand a chance against the Generation of Miracles.
"I'm not deaf. But did you have to insult my height?" She crossed her arms, as much the ashen grey haired girl felt panicking deep inside, she had to bluff and come out strong.
"I was stating a fact, I'm late." Kagami replied, hardly bothered.
Before she could say anything, he left just like that.
Erika let out a sigh of relief or exasperation, she didn't know.
She walked in just in time for the next period to begin, seeing the red head talking to her seatmate. Ignoring the red head and sky haired boy, she sat on her chair, looking out the window and let inspiration possess her.
