Tanjiro's Pov

"Tanjiro! Wake up!"
I woke up to Rokuta jumping on me, along with Hanako. "Mama says you're going to be late!" 

"Huh?!" I quickly sit up, checking the time. I slept in! "Right! Sorry.." I chuckle, the two children run out of my room, shutting the door behind them. I dress into my uniform, a white button up shirt, the regular school pants, tie and a jumper vest. I put in my Hanafuda earrings and style my hair. 

I leave my room after preparing my bag for the school day, then sit at the table with my siblings and mother and eat breakfast. Today, Nezuko is helping out at the café, which means I'll have time to take part in the cooking club at school, which I'm looking forward to. "Have a good day you two!" My mother waved goodbye as me and Nezuko left our home. We took our usual route to the boba store which is close to school campus. As soon as we entered, we instantly walked over to the booth at the back where our friends were. "Good Morning Tanjiro, Nezuko." Kanao calmly nodded to us as we sat down. "I have P.E today.. Does anyone want to skip lesson with me?" Zenitsu frowned. "HA!" Inosuke laughed out loud.

"Skipping isn't going to solve your problem, it will only alarm Mister Tomioka more." Aoi sighed. "Just dye your hair black, your natural hair colour."   "This is my natural hair colour! I told you the lightning--"

"--Zapped you in a tree and you have yellow hair now. You tell the same story every time it's mentioned." Kanao chuckled. "You're just going to have to convince him your hair is natural." I added in, Zenitsu sighed. "Fine. But if he whacks me over the head again, I'm sue-ing him!" 

"We should go now. We're going to be late." Aoi mumbled, she was all nervy again. 

"We have five more minutes, Aoi. Don't worry, we're not going to be late. Plus, I need to stay away from that building as much as possible." Zenitsu frowned slightly. I quickly realize why she's so nervous and quiet. Turning my head, I look at the booth across the room full of demon delinquents. I know Gyutaro, I recently met Akaza too. The white haired girl looks like a first year, which is probably why I don't recognize her.  I see Akaza glance over to me, and we make eye contact. I quickly turn my head back and act like I'm listening in on my friends conversation.

That was awkward, embarrassing, and creepy. I probably shouldn't have stared at them for so long, so I guess it was my fault. "Do you want me to get you a drink?" I asked Nezuko, she nodded, slightly smiling. I stand up, walking over to the counter and lining up behind two people. "Get me something." Akaza had appeared behind me, making me flinch. "No." I sternly spoke, furrowing my eyebrows. "Don't be a bitch." Akaza returned the stern tone. I took a step forward as one of the people in front of me left. "I'm not getting you anything." I sighed. "Get it yourself."  "I didn't bring money." He said flatly. I turned my head to him, annoyed. "Too bad." 

"Please. Just an ice coffee?" He had a look of desperation. I thought about it for a moment. "leave me alone." I spoke more harsher, and he hesitantly walking away, sighing. I instantly felt bad. It was now my turn to order, I glanced up at the menu, then glanced behind me, to Akaza, who was facing his friends. "Can I get a Taro Milk tea.." I pause. "And a vanilla ice coffee, please. Both of them to-go." 

I paid and took both of the cups, sitting down and handing Nezuko the Taro cup. "There you go." 

"What did that pink haired guy say?" Kanao asked. I paused, then smiled. "Nothing important." 

"Okay, well-- we're officially fourteen seconds late." Kanao stood up, we all did the same and began walking out, while walking past the booth the demons were at, I chucked the cup as Akaza, who caught it. I didn't bother looking at him, it was kind of embarrassing. But hopefully he leaves me alone for today, I don't want him even going near Nezuko either.
