It was already 2:57pm and you still haven't finished getting ready. You've torn your bedroom upside down looking for an outfit, yet nothing seemed to be working.

A simple tshirt and shorts could've worked; that was your first idea. Though simple, it felt too basic. Solution? Accessorizing, obviously, but nothing looked quite right with the shirt, so you changed it, but now the pants didn't fit the energy and--

You get it; there was nothing good to wear.

Your eyes flick back to the clock. 2:58pm. Fuck! You continue to look through your closet as notifications emit from your phone, unanswered.

You reach for another pair of shorts after deciding that it was better than the last. Eventually, you've weaved together an outfit you've decided was good enough to wear.

Ding! The sound of another text message ticks you off enough for you to (finally) check your notifications.

At 3:12pm, you reach The Cat's Tail. Everyone else was already there once you joined them, even though you lived the closest to the café. Rosaria is the first to notice your arrival, though Kiara was the one that walked up to you.

"[name]!! What took you so long?" She called out, her long, dirty-blonde hair billowing in the air. She stopped a few feet away from you, a pout forming on her lips.

Pouting was a harmless habit she has had since meeting you and even before then. It was nothing big, though it was rather funny at times since it reminded you of a pufferfish.

The oversized, unzipped varsity jacket Kiara wore had slipped off her right shoulder by the time she reached you. She wore a pleated navy skirt and a black crop top.

Kiara paired the shirt with black leg warmers and white platform shoes. She had various cat-themed clips in her hair, as well as a bow that mimicked cat ears and a simple black choker.
