Orie's "normal" new life

Erika Wagner

My eyes open wide as I feel my cheeks turn warm "w-w-what?! Why are you saying that just now!" she was also an executor two ranks above me, I always tried to be on par with her, I believe we are close with combat but her exs abilities are much stronger than mine, she's called the flame tyrant, I've always had a friend crush on her but she's very dry when it comes to talking, however its different story when shes in battle. Lex looks at me as she knows that I wanna be closer to Wagner as she reassures me "don't worry, you'll be fine, remember you wanna be friends with her". I nod, for whatever reason I did want to get close to her. I felt like she has such a huge wall she puts up with her antagonizing personality and I want to break that wall down, I wanna be her friend after all. Lex looks at me "so you gonna talk to her? I still need to finish my coffee" I nod as I get up from my seat and head towards the door to exit the cafe. I take a deep breath as I open the door to talk with wagner. The sunshine shines bright as I close my eyes. A voice is heard "Hey, over here" I turn to the voice and its wagner sitting outside the cafe near shade, I suddenly feel anxious, I've fought voids and evil but this was another type of feeling, not of worry but I push it down as I grab a chair and sit on the other side of the small round table, I speak first with a friendly demeanor "Hello wagner! I am excited to be working with you!" She laughs as she looks at me "you know we're going to different schools right? This is all so stupid" She gives me an intense glare when she uses the word stupid, I didn't know her situation and just assumed for us to be in the same school, I feel disappointed but I reply still as friendly as ever "oh no worries I do think that we'll have some opportunities to work tog-" I get cutoff "stop being a kiss ass will you? What are you trying to achieve" I open my mouth as my smile drops but I get interrupted "shut it, I am a higher rank than you so you listen to me, I don't appreciate the friendliness you know" she mutters "this is why I don't like you orie" I look down as I feel disappointed, was I too forward? God im so stupid, but I won't let the conversation end like this "like me or not, we have similar missions here in japan so we're gonna have to get along" She looks at me pissed "I was gonna say that, we can meet up every week or so to share our reporting and developments with our investigations'' I sharpen my eyesight and I can see her reading from her phone, I don't say anything but i roll my eyes as she contradicts herself, am I supposed to be nice or not? Nonetheless I do feel as if I need to say more, still wanna be her friend, my heart tells me that there's more than meets the eye with wagner. I say "so if you're not going to my school, where are you going?" She looks but scrolls on her phone as she reads "oh its says here, umm an all girls school' WHAT? So the licht kris sends me to an all gender school, though it's private and sends Wagner to an all girls school! I always knew that they were biased with giving wagner all her needs, but this is just frustration, I take a deep breath as I look at her "well I hope you'll do fine there, and that once a week meet up sounds fine by me" she looks at me contempt "alright, then i'll be going" she gets her bag and fixes her curly blond hair and starts to walk away, I stop her "wait don't go!' She gives me a mixed look that's mostly filled with irritation as I explain myself "y-you don't want to get anything from the cafe? T-t-the plane ride must of been long and-" I stop myself as I don't want to seem like a kiss ass to her like she said, I do feel my cheeks warm but before I know it, she's walking to another street, I sigh disappointedly, I guess I have to go back to Lex and tell everything, this conversation didn't go well, its wagner I guess.
