"take the flesh from me, put it on display"

Being alone isn't always a bad thing as most say. Sometimes we need to be alone to find ourselves, or simply to find the peace in just "me" time. But on the flip side, no one likes to feel lonely.

Among the aisles of books I'm looking at while drinking my coffee, nothing in particular is peaking my interest. After I finish reading a good book, I always seem to have trouble finding another book even greater than the previous- though I still manage to do so.

Realizing I've been drinking waayy too much coffee lately, I head to the restroom hurriedly. Reaching for the handle, someone pushes the door open and before I knew it-
there was coffee drenching my white shirt.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Ah..here, let me help!"

A girl around my age with long purple hair pulls me in the restroom, grabbing paper towels attempting to dry the now brown stain that's settled in my shirt. I sigh in realization as the problem doesn't seem to be getting any better, gently pulling her hands away from my shirt.

"Uh, it's okay really. I'll be heading home soon anywa-"

"Come with me to my place! I'll lend you a shirt of mine, and maybe I can make up for your trouble by cooking up something. Is that okay with you? I really am sorry."

She looks at me flustered and nervous, and I couldn't help but accept her offer. Plus, I haven't really been to anywhere with anyone for a while. Smiling slightly, I respond

"Sure, why not?"

She looks at me and nods, almost mirroring my smile. But I couldn't help but notice the quick glint in her eyes.

"I forgot to mention, I'm currently on a date with someone right now..but I'm sure he won't mind walking the both of us."

"Ah, well, don't worry too much about me then. I'm a pretty good third-wheeler ha..hah."

I nervously rub the back of my neck as I hear her softly laugh at my sudden shyness. She leads us back to a table where her date sat, explaining the situation that happened not too long ago to him. He nods his head with a blush clearly adorning his face, saying he would be more than glad to walk us.

5 minutes have passed and we're still walking, realizing my house was much closer than hers. But sadly enough, I was looking foward to getting to know her better over food and probably small talk over literature. Suddenly her date stops walking , slightly bumping into me.

"Um, if you wouldn't mind, can I see you again?"

She smiles and looks at him.

"I feel completely invisible right now oh goodness. Maybe I'm a little too good at being third-wheel," I thought.

"We do have the simular taste in books, and we're the same age. There's a lot we have in common, huh?"

Her gaze locks with mine, startling me with her sudden attention towards my way, and asks, "I'm sorry, but I never got your name?"

"_______. It's _______."

"Ah, glad to know now."

She gives off a smile that makes me shiver.

"But why?"

"Mr. Kaneki?"

Her date known as Kaneki tenses and stutters as she drew closer to him, nuzzling herself into his chest, "Y-yes?"

"The truth is, I noticed you. The way you were looking at me."

"Huh? Then, you mean, you, too.."

"Yes. I, too, happen to be interested in you."

Suddenly she takes a bite of his shoulder, causing my eyes to widen and my legs unable to move. Kankei looks just as freightened as I do, as we both realized in that cruel moment,

we weren't getting out of this alive.
