Sigh~ the beginning of a new school year, the beginning of new beginnings. The birds chirping, singing the songs of the arrival of the day (Name) (Last Name) will go to school.Don't get the idea that she loves school, she hates studying like every sane person but what she missed is the company of her friends and that's what she wants back after a long tiresome summer of her staring at walls and counting cracks.
The sad and hot days of the summer are the time when she hates being alone, all by herself. She is living in an apartment, the whole building was once owned by her parents but they passed away a few years back, leaving her alone to fend for herself in the cruel world, yet she never gave up. People still lived in the apartments but the rent is collected by her relatives because she is not old enough to be given such responsibility.
But they provide her a little portion for food and living expenses and the rest, according to them, is being collected in her bank account.
the school starts in three days, two hours, and twenty minutes and before the start of the new classes, she is supposed to be performing the most remarkable activity at the start of the school year: stationary shopping.
So, she picks up her bag and travels to the nearest supermarket. The school supplies section is just as crowded as she expected. She bought all the things she might need, including some back-to-school gifts for her friends as well.
She surveyed her trolley, eyes darting around looking for something she might have missed in the hassle. "the colored pencils!"
She pushed the trolley back, looking for the object of interest but finding none. "man, I should've come earlier, most of the stuff is out of stock."
Her eyes glittered, as a smile stretched over her lips, "there it is!" she sprints towards the shelf, her hand out to pick up the last of the limited edition pencils that Mary always eyed from a distance but never purchased.
To her surprise, another hand reached out for the same product as well, "hey, what are you---"
The person rudely pushed her back and grabbed the colored pencils, looking down at her with a sneer, "I saw it first, b*tch,"
The man is strange, he is wearing a top with too many holes in it, exposing the obvious tattoos over his arms and neck. His hair is pretty pastel pink and his eyes ruby red. He looked like a delinquent and delinquent: trouble.
"No, need to be so rude about it but my fingers touched it first!"
"Cry about it," a man walked away, leaving her flabbergasted. But (Name) (Last Name) is not someone who'll easily go down, "wait right there, mister!"
she grabbed his arm, stopping him from moving any further, "look, woman, I have places to be let go of my arm or else..." She'll do anything to get Mary her colored pencils! Even if it means fighting a scary delinquent.
"Or what?" another voice joined in, and her eyes landed on a boy. He looked relatively youthful, with brown hair tied back into a ponytail and hands stuffed in his jean pockets, "are you planning on hitting a lady, my dude?"
"Eren..." a meek voice whispered from his side, another boy she didn't notice is holding the brown-haired boy by his arm trying to pull him back.
"What is it, Armin?"
"Mikasa isn't here,"
"What..." the boy looked around, looking for a Mikasa, "where did she go--- hey you stop right there! And give the lady her pencils back!"
"What are gonna do about it, F*cker!"
"Hey, no swearing, there are kids here!" (Name) failed to notice that their little banter is drawing the attention of other customers.
"I'm gonna kindly ask you to hand it over,"
"Huh, you little sh*t, you think I'm gonna do as you say? Is this what your mother taught you? I wonder if she is just as much of a wimp as you---" the man with pretty pink pastel hair received a punch to his jaw, sponsored by the boy with brown hair.
"Don't you dare bring my mom into this, you parentless f*ck!!!"
"EREN, PLEASE STOP!" the boy named 'Eren' is thrown onto a shelf by the tattoed man while the blonde screams in the background.
"You F*cker, you thought you can beat me!" the man with pastel pink hair stomped over his stomach.
(Name) is brought out of her trance as someone's shoulder bumps into her and she stumbled forward with the sheer force of a shoulder bump, "EREH!!!"
"Mikasa, you are finally here!"
"Get off of Ereh!" the girl with shoulder-length raven hair kicked the man in the shin and punched him in the gut for a good measure, "Ereh, you okay?"
The boy groaned, clutching at his stomach, "Mikasa, I had it all under control!"
"Eren, stop being stubborn and get up," the girl pulled him to his feet, "can't believe I left you two alone for two minutes and this is what happens!"
"Mikasa, don't tell my mom." the boy said, (Name) can hear desperation in his voice.
"We need to get out of here, the security is here!" the blonde boy told them.
"Hello, miss?" Eren turned to face her, wiping the blood with a napkin the blonde boy provided, "you alright?"
(Name) blinked once and then twice, looking at the trio, "yeah, I'm good," the boy bent and picked the package of colored pencils from the floor.
"Here, these are yours," (Name) politely took the pencils, shaking her head in gratitude, "thank you, but you didn't have any obligation---"
"It's okay, miss, I can't stand injustice, it irks me to fight," the boy smiled, his emerald eyes gleaming, "anyway, let's go guys!" the trio ran out.
"Hey, wait---" but they are already gone, "hmm, that was weird," she glanced around for any sign of the guy with pink pastel hair but he seems have been disappeared into thin air.
Shrugging her shoulders, she went on with her shopping.
