Bad Timing (Open)

[Alice Tudor]

Suri had left the school at the wrong time. It was a Saturday, and Suri did not take into account the many students and people that would be about on a Saturday afternoon. The girl had tried to make her way to the Shopping Centre, to see if there was any new music in at the book store. She was detoured on the way there because of the crowds of people. She had bumped into, accidentally of course, so many people that she was exhausted. She saw so many images and felt so many emotions that she just needed to sit down and try to recuperate.

She was wearing a black frilly lolita skirt with light purple fishnet stockings. On her feet were her black boots, which she loved with a passion. She did not wear her jacket today, though. Instead she wore a black shirt with a purplish-navy was around the chest area. Right below the end of the rib cage under her chest was silver chains attached to the shirt, which draped around her side to under her arm. She of course had her head phones in, listening to My Chemical Romance at the moment. To match her outfit she had on black, blue and purple gummi bracelets, and her cross necklace around her neck.

She was not looking at anyone in particular as they walked around the cafe. She was sitting outside the cafe at a table, her eyes focused down in her lap. She was playing with some of her gummi bracelets on her wrist, just trying to pass the time until the crowd had thinned. She still needed to try and.. talk to the head of the Student Freedom Force too, to join. She really wanted to keep an eye on her brother now that she was at T'zenshin... but... he was old enough to take care of himself. She just.. wasn't sure what to do with herself now that... her brother didn't need her. That was not a bad thing either, as he was an adult now.

It hadn't been her idea to go out on a Saturday to try to get some shopping done, but after Kyerin's announcement about the karaoke contest and the secret mission, she had taken it upon herself to do some shopping for some of the things they'd need. However, she hadn't had the time until now to get over to the town. She had been able to get some supplies from the electronic store, such as batteries and microphones as well as some CDs for the karaoke machine that the Student Freedom Force had placed an order for the previous morning. She was still in need of getting decorations for the place that they'd be holding the contest, but she decided to put that off for now. She was really in need of some caffeine since she'd been up for quite a while getting things done.

Everything had been so difficult lately. She had been working non-stop to get things done for the SFF, while balancing school work. And then, there was the situation with Rai. She felt so... distant from her now-boyfriend lately, especially since Miki Azuma had transferred a few days ago. She had to spend a lot of her time with Rai, to get used to the school and so he could help act as her translator until she finished up her English lessons. She was semi-fluent in English, but not enough to be able to go around on her own. And that was something that bothered the SFF intelligence director, for that meant that Rai's attention was on Miki...

And it didn't help that lately, Rai had been acting a little annoyed with her...

Haruka Amagi let out a sigh as she made her way into the book store. She had always loved the store, since there were thousands of shelves of books, and they had free wireless internet, and really good coffee. But more than that was that they sold energy drinks, which Haruka preferred over coffee (though she'd drink coffee if she needed the energy boost).

She made her way to the cafe area, carrying her shopping bags in one hand, and her little backpack hanging off her back. She was dressed simply in a black and white long sleeved shirt that had a bit of a V-neck, a pair of jeans held up with a belt tightened all the way, and a pair of black sneakers on her feet. Her hair was worn back in a low ponytail tied with a black ribbon, and her glasses were in place upon the bridge of her nose. No make up, no fancy jewelry (other than her lanyard of flashdrives).

At the counter, she pointed up to what she was interested in purchasing, and she pulled her wallet from her backpack. "Thank you." She said, her cool, deep voice ringing a monotonous tone. She took her drink and found herself somewhere to sit where she could relax for a little bit. Her bags were placed under her table at her feet, her backpack resting on her lap. She took a sip of the cold energy drink, and gave a small, content smirk.

It was lucky for her that Suri ended up looking up from her hands for a moment to look at the people around her for she found Haruka sipping from an energy drink. A small smile came to her lips, sitting up a bit in her chair. As soon as her smile had came, though, a ping of nervousness seemed to set in just as quickly. Haruka was by herself, and without Rai. Would she... would she want to talk to Suri? Outside of school even? Hesitating for a moment, Suri just continued watching Haruka.

This went on for a moment before Suri had convinced herself that it wouldn't hurt to just say hi or wave. So when she thought she had gotten Haruka's attention, whether it be from staring at her for quite a while or by catching her eye when Haruka looked around the shop, she took her headphone from her ear and waved to Haruka with the smile on her lips.

Haruka sipped her drink as she glanced around the bookstore. It wasn't particularly crowded, though there were a good number of people in there. It was surprising that she happened to catch sight of a familiar face. At first, she wasn't sure who she was seeing. The face was very familiar, and she could have sworn that the person she was seeing was her boyfriend... but upon further inspection, she discovered that the person she was looking at was a female, and that female was a certain someone she knew.

"Aikaryu-chan..." She muttered softly under her breath before offering a small smile. She rose her hand and gave a small wave in return.

Suri had hesitated for another moment, slowly picking up her dark grey, somewhat distressed, bag and walking over to Haruka's table. She had been very careful to not brush up against anyone this time, as she was still very exhausted from earlier. She smiled to Haruka as she got closer, motioning to the chair next to her. "Do you mind.. if I sit with you Amagi-san?"

It was true that she did not know much about the Japanese language, like her brother, but she could at least speak it. She learned quite a bit from her father when he lived with the family. Oh how she missed her father... but her mother ruined it. She ruined everything. Pushing these feelings aside for now, Suri focused on the conversation at hand. When she was allowed to sit int he chair across from Haruka, she sat down lightly, crossing her legs and placing her hands into her lap. "So what brings you out to the cafe today, Amagi-san?"
