School went by slow as it usually did, with the occasional nagging and bickering from the popular kids. The bell suddenly rang after 8th period. "Class dismissed, Have a good rest of your day!" Mrs. Kobayashi said cheerfully as she packed her notebooks and pens into her suitcase.
Your POV
I silently walked out of the class. I just wanted to get home. I had always been on my own, even when dad still lived with me. He would stay at work for days at a time and wouldn't even call to see how i was doing.
I got onto the train and sat down next to an older lady, she seemed nice. Her cheeks a rosey red color and her silver hair flowing from the movement of the train.
It was a quiet ride, all though a baby started crying a few times. Before i knew it i was home.
"damn, never thought that day would end" I said out loud as i unlocked the door and slid my shoes off at the mat by the entrance. As soon as I shut the door there was a knock. I sigh as i open it.
"oh" i say almost scared as i look up and see two men wearing black suits with white collared undershirts towering over me.
"Mrs. Shimizu, Please come with us." The man on the right said. From what i can see he had blonde hair and very chiseled features. "w-who are you?" I say nervously as i swallow my spit. "Your father sent us. We are from NERV headquarters. Mr. Shimizu requested we transport you there"
I can feel the tears building up in my throat, all though i hold them back. "even though i always complain about never seeing my father, he still scares the hell out of me" I think to myself as the men start to get impatient "o-oh okay yeah do i have time to pack a few things before i go?" I ask looking the one on the left in the eyes. "Yes ma'am" He says reassuringly.
I walk down the hallway of my small apartment and turn to the left entering my room. I open my closet and pull out my brown leather suitcase from the top shelf above my clothes. I open up my drawers and fold up everything as small as i can and stuff most of everything inside. "dad never reaches out, it's kind of scary when he does. It must be important" i whisper to myself as my hands are practically shaking as i shove my clothes into my luggage.
I finish packing up my bag and walk out of my room. As i take the turn to walk from my hallway back to the front door i see the men still standing there. I swiftly walk up up and say "I'm ready to go" i know don't sound upset but i'm still scared what my father will ask of me when i get there.
The car ride to Tokyo-3 was horrible. I'm a very impatient person and sitting in silence for 2 hours as I were driven from my home town, Takayama, to a new place I had never been before was insane.
When we finally arrived i was greeted by my father at the entrance of a large building, my fathers company, called NERV. Well it wasn't owned by my father it was owned by Mr. Ikari but i have never met him. So i like to assume my father is the head honcho.
"Tohru" my father states to me with a kind smile on his face.
"yes sir?" i question back
"As you know from the conversations we have shared over the years, you should understand that we have machines called EVAs here correct?" he asks me
"correct, i know what an EVA is" i reassure him
"well we have just created a new one, and i want you to be the pilot of EVA-02" he says, with no room for me to argue as he turns around and shows me a giant red robot's head with the body submerged in purple liquid.
"y-yes sir" i say to scared to wonder what will happen if i decline his request.
A few moments pass and he reaches out his hand to shake mine
"Thank you Tohru, you have no idea what this means to our company, to me." he says kindly
"Your welcome father..." i say as my words trail off as i think "now that i'm here where will i stay, i know dad must stay here overnight because he's so infatuated with his work...".
My father looks over towards me and leans his head to the side, confused.
"what are you thinking Tohru?" he asks concerned i might be rethinking my agreement.
"w-well i'm thinking about where i might live.. it might be to early to start worrying about this but.." I was cut off as a cold, thin, hand placed itself onto my shoulder.
I turn around and see a middle aged woman with dark purple hair.
"Hiya honey!" she says in a sweet tone "I'm Misato Katsuragi, your father has arranged for you to live with me and another EVA pilot, in my apartment.." she says cheerfully. "it might be a little crowded though" she almost whispers. But besides that last remark she seems awfully excited.
"Oh that seems perfect, thank you" i say in a respectful tone as i slightly bow towards her.
"well let's get going, you have a lot of adjusting to do! don't you sweetheart?" she says happily
I follow the purple haired woman outside of NERV headquarters and we get into a navy blue Renault Alpine A310.
