🖤Chapter Seven: What a Great Day🖤

It was a new day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping from outside my apartment, and I didn't feel totally uncomfortable. 

My stomach, however, was absolutely murdering me. 

I stood up from my futon and walked to the kitchen. It was Saturday so I could cook whatever I wanted without worrying about the time. I walked to my cabinet, deciding I'd just have cereal, and cook dinner later tonight.

I grabbed the cereal box and a bowl from the neighboring cabinet and set them both on the counter, opening the box and pouring in the crunchy cereal. I set the box back on the counter and grabbed a spoon, walking to the fridge to grab some milk.

Opening it up, I poured the milk into my bowl, having just enough for one bowl.

"Looks like I need to go shopping. Ugh, but I don't have any more money. If only I didn't spend it on food I didn't eat yesterday. I'm such an idiot."

I knew I was going to run into problems during my move, but it never occurred to me that finances were going to be an issue. Because my dumb brain doesn't think of the obvious things needed in life.

Anyway, I begin eating at my table, scrolling through social media while I ate my Lucky Charms, savoring the sweet taste of the crispy marshmallows.

This one bowl of cereal was definitely not enough, but it'd have to make due for now. The last two days I haven't really had much to eat. It was just toast for breakfast before I left for school, and I didn't eat the school lunch because of Lunch detention after talking back to a teacher. And yesterday I didn't eat anything, and all of that running made me especially hungry.

I suppose I can't do anything about it now. After all, I have no money to spend on food.I finished my food and put the dishes in the sink for me to wash later.

I walked into my bedroom and begun getting dressed for the day. Today would be a very boring day. I just knew it. That's how my Saturdays normally go. Being so overly bored that I'd start chewing my own arm off.

I looked at my phone that laid blankly on my bed; it's screen as dark as some people's sense of humor.

I wondered if Mikado would want to hang out today. After all, neither of us really do anything on Saturdays anyway.

I sighed and looked away, a feeling of disappointment edging into my heart.

"No... He probably wants to sleep all day. I don't want to bother him."

I walked out of my apartment and closed the door, locking it tight.

I walked down the steps of the apartment and figured that I would find a job to pay my rent and buy me food. After all, It'd be impossible for me - or anyone - to live without food.

I kept a look out on light posts, trying to see if any places were hiring new employees. I thought about doing babysitting for a while, but there weren't many kids in Ikebukuro - not from what I've seen. Besides, kids aren't really the "calm" type. Always running around and causing a racket. I'd probably get murdered if I hadn't murdered myself by that point.

Just kidding.

A while passed and I was still looking for jobs. I wanted something that was hands on. I didn't want a half-assed associate job. I wanted to do stuff. I wanted to work with people.

I continued walking, keeping an eye out for any papers stuck to lampposts.

A few hours passed, and it was getting around to the point where my legs were beginning to hurt the longer I walked.
