Who: Haruka, Himeko
What: Skipping classes
Where: Haruka's and Himeko's dorm room.
When: Monday, May 8, morning


Himeko slept in today. Just like she already did yesterday as well. Skipping classes wasn’t something her family back in Tokyo would approve of, but as always with the rules her family made she just didn’t care.
Even though, by now she was able to have a conversation without continuously mentioning her wish to disappear again, she still had difficulties acting like she normally would. There was no way she could show herself to the student body like that. She needed to preserve her ‘idolish’ image after all.

Additional to that she was pretty much aware of the fact that her depression could come back any second and it was better to be more or less alone in case that happened.
Still a little sleepy, she began tying her hair into somehow slightly messy looking low twin tails.
Another thing she had noticed earlier when she got up and went to the bathroom was that Haruka, who was usually the one getting up a little earlier than her, was also still in bed.

“Guess that makes us both skipping classes today. “, she simply remarked, observing her roommate a while before turning back around and facing herself in the mirror once again.
“Awful.”, she mumbled and sighed deeply before throwing her small stand mirror away from her, making it land rather smoothly on her bed.
It just was no good today again. It probably would continue being like that for a while.

Haruka usually woke up to the buzzing of her phone alarm before going back to sleep until her second alarm went off. Today, Haruka managed sleep past both and still feel like she hadn't slept at all when she jerked awake with a gasp - her eyes were wide and skin feeling clammy.

It took a moment to orient herself. She wasn't in water. She still felt like shit but she could breathe.

She let herself stay wrapped up under the covers. She could hear Hachi moving around around the bathroom so it had to be late. It was still several moments later before her hand crawled out to pick up her phone and pull it under with her. A few taps later, a pleasant automated voice told her homeroom had already started.

She still didn't feel any particular urgency though. Still mostly covered, she slowly pushed herself up and ran a hand through her hair, smoothing the tangled mess. After a while, she said,

"Think they'd care much if we skipped out of critical thinking?"

"Probably," Haruka replied, leaving it ambiguous whether she was agreeing with them caring or if skipping would be best.

At the question, Haruka fell into thought as she reached for a brush at the side and took it to her hair. A part of her had wanted to do what she'd been doing a lot the past few days and just go off somewhere alone or stay curled up in the covers. However.

"Probably not stay cooped up here all day? Doubt it's been healthy," she replied. She'd done more than enough of that... "Dunno. Maybe pick up something from a local bakery and go chill in a nice secluded park for a bit?

Anything you wanted to do?"

Haruka nodded, running another hand through her hair. It felt gross for some reason, even though she'd spent far too long in the shower before. That was one good thing about a school like this, she guessed...there was a lot of hot water.

She gave up brushing for now and reached for her uniform laid out on the side. It sounded like Hachi was going to be taking a while with her cocoa anyway.

"Just gonna shower first. Be out in a few min."

That was incentive to actually get out instead of getting stuck. She couldn't keep slipping into that.

"I guess? It's not like we need to make the bell or anything," Haruka replied with a slight shrug. Regardless, she still didn't feel like going slow.

She didn't need to give Hachi another thing to worry about.

Haruka mostly moved on autopilot, something she'd had to rely on that a lot the past few days. Save for the sudden suffocating flash of memories of her dreams when she felt the water, it was just blissful, uncomplicated ordinary routine. She finished just shy of when she said she would and it took another five minutes to dry and tidy her hair. When she finally came out, she looked passable, though far from the care she usually took - her ponytail looked limp and her uniform scruffier. However, she was out and moving.

Turning her head towards Hachi, she asked, "Ready?"

"Got a few but don't mind trying something new," Haruka said, picking up her bag as she went. "You got better tastes in sweets than me anyway? With cocoa at least."

She followed Hachi to the door. It almost felt like it were an actual day off or the weekend. Even normal school kids goofing off and skipping class was sorta normal, compared to everything else.

It was actually kinda nice.

As she opened the door, she asked, "Think we should come up with an excuse if anyone asks why we're in school?"

[personal profile] allisnothing 2014-02-20 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh....got experience?" Haruka asked. She picked up her cane from the corner, just before Hachi shut the door. That was something she wasn't going to ever forget.

"Sweet. Some parks around here are pretty nice? There's a few flower based ones that smell nice."

"Interesting," Haruka said, and there was a spark of genuine interest there as a small smirk crept up on her face despite herself. "So I'm in the hands of an experienced rule-breaker?"

"Okay then. Sweets, flowers and the sun." Those sounded like a good combo, right? And it was like that one song by that orphan character....no matter how bad things are, the sun will always come tomorrow, one way or another. At very least, those sounded like good incentives to get out and do other things, for her and Hachi.

Tilting her head upwards. "Could always kill time with acting or singing lessons too? Or we could nap or just goof off? Anything, I guess."
allisnothing: (huh. shenanigans that way?)

((Mmkay, time jump coming~))

"Crazier than here, huh? Wonder what kind of place that was." Haruka tilted her head upwards. Chitoku was both more leniant and far less than her old school. It was more leniant because they actually wanted students to succeed, supposedly (that'd wreck their advertising otherwise, a darker part of her thought). On the other hand was sorts of values they pushed and just their...whole situation.

She went quiet and let Hachi's words filter in. She focused on that rather than the other thoughts swarming in her mind that made her want to start walking back to their room. She instead put on that deceptive casualness again before replying, "Sure. Got a whole day anyway so might as well fill it? If we don't, there's always another excuse to skip another day." She sounded like she was joking, maybe.

The more they talked and the further they got away from Chitoku, however, the more lively he looked. By the time they reached the bakery, she looked like herself. She hadn't been eating much lately and it probably showed when she ordered a few more things than usual to go along with an extra large iced coffee, which she sipped as they walked. The park she picked for them wasn't too far away from the bakery. The park was across from an elementary school but this early in the day no one but a few joggers and passerbys were around. It was a simple one (a circular design ringed by a walking path, a playground in the center, a wall with a list of rules on a plaque, a few benches and only bushes and trees in sight) but as Haruka had said, there was a subtle sweet fragrance in the air, as all the surrounding bushes and trees were in bloom.

Turning to Hachi with a slight grin she asked, "Swing set or bench?"

Haruka smiled as Hachi rushed to the swings. As she imagined something like a puppy, she knew that nickname hadn't been off at all. She felt her way to the swings and settled on the one beside Hachi, lightly flicking up bits of sand with her cane before she placed it down against one of the nearby poles. She light a long, "Huuuuh....chocolate is tempting... raise you green tea loaf with caramel swirls? Also got a napoleon and a mini-pizza.

"Sometimes?" She sounded deceptively like herself, like she missed the seriousness in Hachi's tone. She leaned back against the swing and lightly kicked the sand so she swung lazily. "Lots of things are more fun than classes? Still necessary just not interesting." Another light kick and sand blew in the wind.

"If it's that hard to decide I can always take them all?" Haruka replied, smiling as she felt the air carefully until she felt Hachi's arm (thin, delicate and soft) before brushing her fingers up to Hachi's hand and plucking the half muffin from her hand. "Have to protect your figure from the fattening sweets conspiracy anyway."

She broke the loaf in half and held it out to Hachi while she took a bite of her own. She chewed thoughtfully as she replied, "Cleaning's sucky. Usually got excused from it though." Except for the times she didn't, which people either thought had hilarious results or they'd get frustrated. She tilted her head upwards and swung slowly. "Would be nice to skip math I guess though? Or dissection."

"Darn. My dastardly schemes have been foiled by your astute wit and paranoia," Haruka replied with a straight face. She smiled as she took a bite of the muffin though, taking the time to enjoy the chocolate. It was the first time in a while she actually tasted what she ate so she took another big bite. "Probably worry more when I feel the heavier foot falls in your direction?

"Convenient." Head tilt. "They really fall over you for that sorta stuff?" She supposed it'd fit the idol thing. Or super popular girls or people who seemed like they needed help. "You could always use them to do the stuff you hate I guess. Like deal with dissections or the English teacher if you really wanted to."

"Huh. Weird concern. That strict about that stuff?"

She took another bite of the loaf before chasing it down with a sip of iced coffee. She thought about things she'd read about idols before and how many things got nitpicked - 'Manami-chan is too fat', 'Kaori-chan looks like a cheap blond', 'Shou is trying too hard to cover up SOMETHING', 'Olivia is actually a bitch IRL'. "Sounds tough. Kinda like drawing your own cult based on moe cuteness?" Beat. "Though lot less fun than it sounds.

"Might need another form of moe there? Or just yourself as many a show would quote."
