My eyes slowly open, I yawn and stretch, still infinitely tired despite having a perfect amount of sleep. Oh shit, it's already 12 am?! And I promised to meet Will at 1 pm at the park! I throw my self out of bed in a rush to get ready, I grab clothes out of drawers, throw my scrunchie across the room in an effort to get in on and after a few long moments, I rush out the door, forgetting my car keys in the process. Oh well, can't go back now. I rush down the stairs of my apartment with no time for waiting in a crowded elevator, my toast burnt and half out of my mouth as I swing myself around each poll to go faster. After getting out of the giant maze of an apartment building, I rush to catch the 12:35 bus, it arrives and I pay my far to ride. After what seemed like an hour, the bus stopped at the park. Whew, I wasn't late, it was 12:57 am. I abruptly got a text from Will saying she was late, uhgggg, Really?! I reluctantly waited for Will to arrive.
1:12
Will comes running off the bus towards me, she has hair down and half unbrushed.
"God, sorry I was late," she scratches the back on her head in embarrassment.
"Uh huh, I practically threw myself out of the apartment building trying not to be late and yet you were late, I could've slept in!" I complain.
"Last night was a family dinner so I didn't get enough sleep, sorry" she replied, looking down in shame.
"It's fine, there was something you wanted to show me right?" I asked, she had mentioned something like that in the text.
"oh yeah, it's more like someone I wanted to introduce you to," she swings her head back at the mention of that. " oh wait, I swear to god if they're late, are all of us late?"
"almost all of us."
A girl with yellow cat ear headband hops off a bus and runs toward us, "Hai Willow!" she exclaims, then skids to stop in front of us, "wait who the heck are ya'?" Her face is molded with pure confusion as she stares at me.
"I'm vixen, you?" I glanced at Willow with a look that says: who the heck is this person?
"I'm Emilia but you can call me Emy," she is still quite confused.
"you can call me Vix," I say, again I'm looking at Will, waiting for her to say something.
She jumps up from her trance and points at herself with a questionable look on her face, staring at me. I nod, signaling her to introduce me to her, I'm still quite confused. This person is. She nods back.
"Emy, this was the person that I wanted to introduce you to, Vix, Emmy! Emmy, Vix!" she says enthusiastically, She probably didn't plan this much. We stare at each other in silence for a few intoxicating minutes before I decide to break the silence.
"so um, let's all say something about ourselves," I say, trying to start up a conversation.[:] Character introductions! [:]
