Her Skate of Life (Victor Nikiforov X Oc)

How to upset an old woman

Wait, what time is it? I rubbed at my eyes before I sat up from where I was laying on my mattress. I picked up my phone from where it was laying beside me and clicked on the side button. 10:41am. Wow, that's the longest I've ever slept in a while; guess I'll have to have to start taking those pills more often whenever I feel that I cannot put up people's shit.

I sighed as I stood up from where I was sat on the mattress before I stretched my arms above my head. I glanced around my room, noticing the bare walls that surrounded me. Tch, guess it's time for me to sort out my new room then. I'll have to go out shopping and go buy some paint. I spared another glance at the walls. I don't think I'll go with my old theme of green. Hm. I'll have to think about it later on. I caught my see-through reflection in the window next to my bed before I rolled my eyes and looked away. I guess I better get changed into some new clothes if I want to go do some shopping. Rubbing at my eyes, I walked over to my suitcase and began to pick out some clothes.

Eventually I settled on a black baggy top with intricate white designs on the hem and the sleeves, black skinny jeans, light grey hoodie and a pair of bright red trainers. I couldn't wear my combat boots unfortunately because I knew for a fact that walking up hills are a bitch in heel type shoes so I decided on something more practical.

After I got dressed I quickly brushed through my hair and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I glanced at the mirror in the bathroom, making sure my appearance was decent enough. My skin liked slightly washed out, my hair looked dreary and my eyes as usual, looked dull as they ever did. My face lacked make up unlike the usual girls which I saw but that didn't bother me. I wasn't looking to impress anyone whilst I was out shopping for paint an things to put in my new room. Fuck it, I'm not dressing to impress; I'm dressed practically. Plus, if I wear nice clothes they'll probably get ruined somehow. Then, I walked out the bathroom.

When I went downstairs I wasn't surprised to find my Father no where to be seen. He was usually gone early in the morning because of his work. Ryo and Hiro had gone out somewhere, personally I didn't have a clue but I had an idea that it was a beach, seeing as they mentioned one yesterday. I had no doubt in my mind that they would soon make friends. That was just the way they are; always love able and easy going and nice to have a laugh and joke with. Quite the opposite to me if I might say so. I sighed as I walked into the kitchen only to find my Mother quickly washing up the dishes. I cleared my throat to catch her attention.

"Oh Hanako, what are you doing down here. Usually you're not here unless you getting some food or something. I'm afraid if that's the case you'll have to make something yourself. I would but unfortunately I have to pop out and get some stuff then I'll have to go off to work. You'll be fine on your own here, you're responsible enough." She rubbed vigorously at a stubborn on one of the plates that we had ate off of last night.

"Actually I'm going out, I need to go out and get some paint and things for my room so you'll have to lock the door behind you." Although my Mother's back was facing me I could see her eyes widen at the thought of me going out. Carefully she placed the plate on the rack next to her before she dried her hands and turned around so that she was facing me.

"Seriously? I mean great! That's wonderful! Tell me Hanako, are you being serious?" I nodded stiffly. Her eyes widened some more.

I could tell that she was surprised about the thought of me going out into the real world and in all honesty I couldn't blame her. Me, the introvert, going outside. Quite the opposite of what I usually would do. She sighed to herself.

"Well I guess it would be good for you to go outside. It'll help you familiar yourself with Hasestu as well. Well then in that case I'll see you later. Your Father won't be here for tea laterr on tonight because he has to go to a meeting. I'll probably be at work but I'm not sure about your brothers. It's best you take your key with you." She pointed over at the new key which sat alone on the kitchen counter. It seemed she had even added my little jeweled angel wings on it as well. I nodded at her before reaching over and grabbing the keys in my hand.
