The Devil's Angel [DISCONTINUED]

14.

   I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock, its irritating noise blasting into my left ear. I slowly  sat up on my bed, rubbing my eyes before looking around at my surroundings. My laptop laid asleep on the bottom left corner of my bed while I was surrounded my papers.

   I had been researching on Angelina and I's project last night after our call, and probably fell asleep while taking notes. But to the looks of it, I had gotten some good information.

   I gathered the papers, placing them into my binder before climbing out of bed. I check my alarm clock to see it was 6:10, so I had plenty of time to get dress, eat, and gather all my things.

   I walked over to my dresser, pulling out a black v-neck, a pair of jeans, black sneakers, and then began to get undress out of my old outfit.

   I then headed toward the kitchen after I comb my hair, serving myself a small breakfast before gathering all my things that I needed for today.

   Once I finished getting myself ready, I unplugged my phone from the charger and headed out the door. Once I exited my apartment, I turned around and locked the door, but when I did, I saw a small sticky note on it.

   Head to the base before school starts

   -Kira

   I sighed, grabbing and crumbling up the sticky note, throwing it somewhere into the hallway. 'Perfect way to start my day...' I thought, stuffing my hands in to pockets of my jeans ' I have to go meet up with Kira, just great..!'

   I jogged down the the old oak staircase carefully, my backpack bobbing up and down as I did. I rushed past the main office once again, seeing that the small latino man - who's name I've forgotten - sitting at his old metal desk sorting threw his papers and bills, he seemed frustrated.

   ' Maybe I should pay the rent...' I thought, feeling a bit sad for the small man as I exited the building.

   The cold morning breeze bit at my skin as I made my way out of my apartment building, regretting not grabbing a jacket, but it was too late to go back now.

   I once again, stuffed my hands into my pockets to keep warm. I began to head toward the base, which wasn't that off-course from the school. I kept wondering what Kira wanted? 

-----

   Once I reached the ally way which led to the base, I was greeted my Kira, who had seemed to be waiting for me," You finally came." She stated, her arms crossed on her chest.

   " I don't think I took long." I replied, walking over to her side.

   " Listen, this is serous." Kira said, her facial expression still the same.

   " Well, what is it then?" I questioned, leaning against the damp brick walls of the building next to us.

   " We're running low on money, we'll soon not be able to pay the police and our members..." She sighed, her face dropping to a frown," ...We need to do another run soon, or we'll fall..."

   I stayed silent, my arms now crossed on my chest," We could try to get some small businesses, just to stay a float, but who knows how long it'll last..."

   I let out a sad sigh, she was right. It had been a while since we went on a money run, but that's due to there not being a lot of small businesses we could get,"...Fine, we'll go on a run..."

   " When?"She asked, her face seemed to brighten a bit in a weird way," How about tonight? I'll in form our members and-"

   " No." I stated in a stern voice while Kira stared at me confused. I had remembered tonight was the Festival of Lights, and I couldn't bail on Angelina like that," W-We'll go tomorrow."
