Kinoko Uchimaki's POV

I glared at myself in the mirror before breathing deeply. "Suck it up...it's not a problem..." I said to myself gritting my teeth to calm down. I then raised my hand above my chest, gripping tightly on the tie around my neck and pulled hard on it.

"It's so damn hot in here..I need a break" I threw my phone on the bed watching it as it bounced and hit the side of my pillow. I sighed deeply, walking to the front of my room, slipping on my shoes.

glancing at my lamp, I bent down. This wasn't normal for me, I felt so out of place today, that I even forgot to turn the lamp light off. I arched my eyebrows glaring at it, I was sure I did.

I stood up grabbing my bag on the side of my bed before throwing it over my shoulder. I decided to ignore all the weird stuff that was going on. I didn't need another nuisance to deal with, not another error in my life.

I grabbed my phone off the side of my pillow and ran out the door. As soon as I walked out the door I realized I forgot to eat breakfast. I groan softy but continued to walk on, without eating.

As I walked farther away from my house, I adjusted my bag on my shoulders, I breathed softly as I felt my bag digging into my shoulders. It made my shoulders ache with pain, but I dealt with it walking on. Was I being to lazy? Or maybe I was up tight? My mind filled with 'what ifs' as if I was thinking about my last day on earth. "Maybe I was just being dramatic" I thought.

I walked faster breathing heavily, I couldn't take this any more, not another second. My eyes then widened as I realized I almost walked past my favorite vending machine, my legs hung still in the air as I turned my body around towards the machine.

I smiled softly as I stared at it, at least I could have my coffee soda. I walked towards it reaching in my pocket. The coffee soda costs about 130 yen, it was cheap, easy for me to pay for every morning.

Authors note: ( I probably should have done some real research on yen and the money in japan before writing this. Sorry! Please don't hold it against me 🙃 )

I took out my hand from my pocket and pulled out a couple of yen from it. I Looked down at my hand then at the vending machine.

I moved my glasses further on my face, before placing my money in the vending machine, clicking buttons 2C.

I smiled as I heard the can drop in the bottom of the machine but it hit something else. I raised my eyebrows bending down to see what it was or might be. I opened the vending machine and reached out to see there were two coffee sodas. I pulled it out placing them in my bag. Maybe the soda gods blessed me today, I grinned.

I turned away from the vending machine, walking on. As I walked, I ignored the loud sounds of cars and honking, the sounds of construction and talking. I groaned, maybe it was harder to ignore it then I thought. I dodged the dog walkers as well was the construction sites. But something stopped me, I saw a small girl that looked about my age carrying bags of supplies probably for work or a job she worked at.

As I tried to walk past her she tapped my ankle with her foot, her hands were full will supplies and bags. I turned my head seeing her trying to balance the supplies in her hands. I looked at the bags she was carrying and how it towered above her head.

She looked at me awkwardly, I thought she was crazy. "H-Hey! Can you help me with this..? I kinda got my hands full.." she said moving back and forth so none of the supplies fell on either side.

I stopped and turned my body around, to face her, grabbing more than half of the supplies she was carrying. I only did it for my own conscious.

I adjusted the bags in my arms as I walked next to her waiting for her to tell me where we were going to put the supplies. She looked up at me, smiling awkwardly. she didn't look like she was from Japan. "Sorry about that...I needed to bring these supplies to the market, its not far. She pointed to the market across the way next to a chicken shop.
