GHOUL / KANEKI KEN

IX.

it was late when you got the bed because after a while of not cleaning the apartment you finally got to it. and you had to admit, it looked way better. you had a night snack and went to bed. you didn't have to worry about homework this time, and that was a relief.

when you woke and the bright sunlight came in from your balcony door. you blinked a few times before your eyes adjusted to the light and drowsiness. you picked up your body for that you were leaning against your wall. you picked up your phone and saw you had about an hour an a half before classes started for the day.

you then examined yourself to see you still had on the clothes from yesterday, you felt inside your jacket pocket to feel you had a little piece of paper. you took it out and read it. seeing that it was hide's number, memories of yesterday came flooding back. and to simply put it, the thoughts made you blush.

you were still flabbergasted that you got to talk to kaneki, even though it was not for long at all. you were still grateful that you had the chance to talk to him again.

you blushed back such lovely thoughts and took a warm shower and put on more comfortable clothing than yesterday. and you felt like you were back in your natural state, all comfy and relaxed. no more damn heels that hurt your feet and felt like you we're losing your blood flow from your feet. no more pretty professional skirt that hugged your hips maybe a little too tight. made you feel too revealing for your liking.

you packed your belongings in your bag and headed off to anteiku. you wondered if he'd be there this morning.

when you arrived there he wasn't working, but that didn't keep you from coming in, looking through a magazine, saving the book to read later with hinami if you got the chance to see her later today, and enjoying the hustle and bustle of the morning. as you paused to take a sip of your coffee you decided to text hide before you actually lost the little slip of paper.

you took your phone out and typed in the number, then texted him saying who you were and asked about what sections of the volunteering needed the most help.

in just a few short seconds he replied back saying good morning with a cute little emoji and a list of sections.

you thanked him before looking closing at the list, you saw that many different sections needed help, but the crafting one caught your eye, it sorta sounded like fun. you then sent another text to him saying that you wanted to volunteer for crafting and he told you the location to head to after classes were over with.

you smiled, things were going in an interesting direction that you never expected. but you didn't mind, if that meant you had a chance to do something different in your life for once.

you went back to looking at the magazine and coffee and when time came you walked off to the university.

after classes ended, you went to the location hide said they were doing the crafting at. you saw a whole bunch of people working on stands for different type of things. one was a stand for cookies, another cotton candy, also one for a hit-or-miss mess rice ball stand. you asked a someone where the person that was running it's section would be at and they pointed to a small room in the back.

you were greeted by a very short energetic girl, she seemed to be all artistry since paint was all over her outfit and even her black long hair.

"hello i'm here to help," you greeted her with a small smile.

"oh great ! come with me," she walked out the room and to a stand that was just started being worked on.

"help with this one, ok?" she asked, seemed like she was in a rush.
