Chapter 7

You closed off the gym once again and tossed the keys into your hoodie pocket. You were happy that the guys had been kind enough to put the balls back in the rack to help you even if just a little bit with cleaning the place up. They had seen how tired you were once your eyes landed on the messy gym so they decided on sparing you the extra work, that you were very grateful for. All you were left with was the task to take down the net and push the blackboard back in the small storage closet in the back. It helped you a lot. You weren't as tired and your muscles didn't ache as much. It wasn't hard but it was energy draining.

Turning around you walked off the mini steps that lead to the gym and took out your phone and earphones. You pressed on your favorite song list and plugged in the earplugs, connecting them to your ears. You put the song on your favorite height of loudness and resumed your path to your humble household.
You hummed softly, your head in the clouds. You always felt better whenever you listened to your music. It calmed you down whenever you were stressed and brought your mood up when you were sad. So a day without music was not a day completed for you.

You skimmed around the pavement, watching the nature around you move like normal. The trees were rustling gently in the wind, grinding against one another to create a crispy sound of the wind brushing through the leaves. You saw up ahead the white cat of one of the residents that had been living on the street far longer than you'd lived in Japan for. It was an old lady and her husband. You didn't personally know them but you waved at her everytime you past next to her window. She was very nice too.

The cat was sleeping in a ball on one of the small pillar next to her fence. That cat was sent out in the morning and once the night sky started showing, it was brought back in by the old owners of the house. You recently learned that she was a girl. You approached the delicate creature and booped her forehead gently making the cat meow in surprise. Right after recomposing herself she purred up a storm and rubbed her pelt into your hands, asking for cuddles. As soon as you brushed your fingers through her furr, she intensely pushed herself against your hand and rolled over for belly rubs.

You couldn't help yourself from awing at the sight and giggling at her eagerness. It was a shame that you could only do that a couple times a week since sometimes you had to take the bus. On colder mornings, you took the traveling bus but that was only when it was frisky outside or when winter started. Aside from that, you preferred to walk since it gave your legs some exercise. A good walk for a good health.

You unfortunately had to stop petting the white cat since your mother and father would be very worried if you ended up coming late at home. You pet her on the head one last time as a goodbye and walked away, leaving the fluff ball to stare at you like a hawk curiously.

Your feet hit the pavement rhythmically not faltering as you passed various shops in your side of Tokyo. The shops were all lined up on the streets while people passed them, checking out the windows to look for anything interesting. Chatter among the busy streets is what calmed you even if you couldn't hear it. Just seeing everyone so relaxed and calm brought a soft smile to your face. It was nice after a tiring day at school.

You checked the time on your phone and concluded that you could stop at a small cafe shop not far from where you were, before heading home.

'I have enough money on me and I'm sure mom and dad won't mind.' You thought checking your wallet. You nodded to yourself and faced the sidewalk.

You pushed the doors open gently, making the bells chime after you. A few people were already settled in the seats in the small shop, talking to their friends and a sweet aroma lingered in the air. You walked up to the cashier to give her your order when the bell at the door rang meaning that another client had entered. You briefly turned around in pure curiosity but froze upon seeing Kenma walk behind you to wait in line. He didn't even seem to have seen you since his eyes and concentration were buried in his game device.
