Two days passed and it was finally Saturday. Minako, remembering what the others told her, knew she had 'Tea Time' (or to most students, free time) after her morning classes. She was excited since she had decided to send an email to her Aunt and Uncle an update about her new life at her new school. She'd been too busy with trying to get used to all her new classes and that to be able to send her Aunt and Uncle any type of update. After loosing her parents when she was 10, Minako moved in with her Aunt and Uncle, who had became like her second family, and when she found out about her family's fortune she felt it hard to just leave them.
After saying goodbye to Yukari and Junpei, Minako grabbed her bag and quickly headed out of the classroom looking for somewhere to sit and type. She made her way over to the gardens where most students sit and actually have some tea and ether read, study or have a chat with other students. Without any luck of finding a place to sit alone, Minako was about to turn to leave when she saw something catch her eyes.
It was Mitsuru Kirijo. Her long red hair was tied up in a loose pony tail and she had on the school's outfit except for the blazer which was draped neatly over her school bad that sat beside her. Her dark red eyes were staring right at Minako, looking like she was waiting for her to notice the red head sitting there, and when their eyes met Mitsuru motioned her over.
Minako looked around before walking over, checking to see if there was anyone else she was looking at.
"Minako Arisato, have a seat" Mitsuru jested to a chair right across from her. Hesitating slightly Minako placed her bag down and sat down in the chair across from Kirijo, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Mitsuru Kirijo. I was wondering how you are faring with the school".
"Oh, um its been going well… it's a lot different from my old school of coarse" Minako watched as a waiter came over to the table bringing a cup of tea for the both of them and placing it on the table in front of the girls.
"Well yes I would assume it is a big change, but you seem to be coping just fine" Mitsuru picked up her cup in front of her taking a quick sip of her tea, then placing it back on the china plate it originally sat on, "you see I'm the president of the student council, so it's my job to check in to make sure you are accumulating just fine".
Minako looked down at her tea in front of her, she picked it up following what Mitsuru did, and took a sip. She reacted right away sticking her tongue out at the bland taste. She placed it back down and reached for the milk and sugar, and started pouring some milk in. After she picked up the sugar glass and started pouring a whole lot of sugar into her tea. Getting a raised eyebrow from Mitsuru, Minako stopped pouring the sugar, feeling embarrassed she quickly slid the milk and sugar back to where it came from.
"W-well the classes are a lot different from what I'm used to, but I'm sure I'll be able to get into the swing of things" Minako replied taking a sip from her tea. She made a small smile when she tasted the right sweetness in her warm drink.
"Yes of coarse… I was also looking over your student report before you transferred here and noticed that you excelled in all of your classes" Mitsuru raised a hand and Minako watched as the same waiter came and refilled her tea.
"Well I don't want to brag at all or anything" actually she did, "but I was the top student in my school" she earned a small smile from Mitsuru.
"Yes, and I was wondering how you would feel if I invited you to the student council" this caught Minako's attention.
"The student council?"
"Yes, I would love to have you as part of the team, possibly as a secretary" Minako pondered this thought. In her old school she would always try and avoid the student council due to the fact it was run by snobby kids who thought they had so much power, when they didn't, but maybe joining the student council here would run smoother and look great on her records.
"Yeah sure, I'll think about it" she smiled trying to picture herself as past of the student council, which wasn't working so well.
"That's great to hear, you can stop by on Monday in the Student Council room, it's by the teachers lounge, on the third floor" Mitsuru started pulling out papers from her bag and sliding them over towards Minako, "these will tell you all about what we have already started discussing and such, also the position and what you would have to do"
Minako smiled to herself, it seemed like Mitsuru was excited and was hoping that she would join. It made her feel good inside, "All right, I'll look this over tonight"
"Perfect, now do you want to try some of their red velvet cakes? They are to die for" Mitsuru stuck up her hand to order.
"Ow! Shit ow!" sharp whispers could be heard on the far wall late at night as Minako tried to sneak out once again. She had decided that it was time to go find that grumpy brunette again, since he owed her a date.
She rubbed her palm together trying to dull the pain from scraping her hands on the brick walls. She glared up at the wall and proceeded to kick it in revenge for hurting her… which wasn't the smartest decision. After her little moment she finally proceeded toward the station. She tried to remember the path she took last time to make sure she didn't get lost; things at night are harder to find. Soon she heard the distant laughs of the kids who hung out at the back alley last time she had been here. She had a small sigh of relief that there were people here.
She walked over toward the small group of people and watched as the smell of booze and cigarettes' hung thick in the hair like last time. Glancing around Minako didn't seem to be able to spot the shady teen.
"Hey pretty lady, what're you doing here" Minako turned toward the voice to be face to face with one of the punks. His breath reeked of alcohol making Minako take a small step away from the black haired man. She kept her mouth shut not wanting to make conversation.
"Aw are you being shy? You shouldn't be like that when you got a body like that" and with the word that, the punk gave Minako's butt a quick pat making her stand up stiff, too surprised that he would touch her there. The roar of laugher filled up the place as his friends started watching the two. She felt an arm drape around her shoulder from behind and a rough voice over filled the laugher.
"Shouldn't you be hitting on girls who are attractive?" Shinjiro's presence made the punk back up a bit, making it clear that he didn't want to start any trouble. It took Minako a minute to realize that Shinjiro had just insulted her. Feeling her face burn another roar of laughter came from the punk's friends as him stumbled back into the circle leaving Shinjiro and Minako alone. Puffing out her cheeks, she made sure to stomp on Shinjiro's foot, hard.
"Ow! What was that for" Shinjiro removed his arm and stepped back moving his foot away from her.
"For calling me ugly!" Ignoring the comment Shinjiro just pulled his beanie back over his eyes.
"What are you doing out here again? Can't you tell that this place isn't for you?" Minako smiled and looked up at Shinjiro through her eyelashes.
"I wanted to see you" but instead of getting the reaction she was hoping for, Shinjiro just stared blankly at her waiting for her to go on, "… you owe me a date remember"
Shinjiro just rolled his eyes and started walking as Minako felt deflated at her attempt to get a reaction out of the brunette. She sighed and started to run to catch up to him.
"Where are you going?" Shinjiro just looked out of the corners of his eyes at her.
"I'm taking you out, isn't that what you wanted?" he sighed. Minako's face got bright.
"Really? Then where are you taking me?"
"Ramen"
The two entered the small ramen shop and Minako's nose was filled with the smell of different spices and such. She looked around to check out the nice little place Shinjiro had taken her. Walking over to Shinjiro, she took a seat beside him at the bar. A man appeared behind the counter they were sitting at and smiled as he saw Shinjiro sitting there.
"Two specials please" Shinjiro looked over at Minako to see if she was all right with what he ordered. When she showed to sign of protest the chef started cooking their food.
"This is a nice place" Minako smiled watching the chef as he cooked. She heard a sigh beside her and turned her attention towards the teen as he just looked at her.
"Alright, so I have taken you out, now can you not go to that alley way anymore" the chef placed the two bowls of ramen in front of the two.
"Why not, you always are there" her eyes widen at the smell of the food in front of her. She quickly took a bite out of it, and then soon regretted it.
"Careful it's hot" Shinjiro said in a monotone voice, receiving a glare from Minako saying why didn't you say that before! "And I'm not always there, you've only seen me twice, its just luck that I've been there"
"Well I'll only go to the alley if it's the only way I will find you" Minako took some ramen in her chopstick and blew on it hoping to cool it down.
"Then I wont go to the alley anymore"
"But how will I find you?"
"You wont, that's the point"
"Meany" Minako pouted taking a bite out of the ramen. Shinjiro just continued eating his share ignoring the glare he was getting from the girl, "come on, I think you're an interesting person, and I'm new and I don't have a lot of friends at the moment"
"So..?" Shinjiro raised an eyebrow in her direction.
"Fine, I'll just keep going to the alley if you wont meet me" she smiled to herself as she received a glare from the brunette. He put down his chopsticks and reached in his pocket and pulled out a phone.
"Fine, then just exchange numbers and message me when you feel incline to walk around at night, I'll meet you" Minako quickly shoved her hands in her pockets looking for her phone and exchanged numbers with the boy.
The two ate in silence after that for about 20 minutes until Shinjiro broke the silence.
"It's getting late, you should finish up so I can get you back" He looked over at the clock on the wall trying to remember what time Minako had disappeared last time they meet. Minako nodded and quickly finished up the last of her ramen.
"Thanks for the food" she smiled and stood up walking toward the door waiting for Shinjiro. He placed the money on the counter saying a farewell to the owner as the two stepped out into the dark.
"So where am I taking you?" he looked down at the girl.
"Oh just where I left last time works" the two started walking side by side, "so where are you going to take me next time?" she smiled at him.
His response was a grown and a ruffle of her hair as the two walked back in the emptiness of the night.
done! alright, this chapter is done! what a great feeling.
when i was writing Mitsuru, i was constantly worried that i might OOC her. so if i did, then i am sorry.
i felt the need to add a little more quirkiness to Minako just to define her character. i hope i did it alright.
like i said sorry for the late update. i hope you enjoyed the chapter.
