[i]-Sunday 12 April, 2015-[/i]

[b]Leiko Hamada and Saya Ueno: Ueno Restaurant[/b]

"Aww, really? Bummer." Saya released a disappointed sigh as she slumped on the spare seat beside them, her lips drawing into an apologetic grin. "Sorry, Kotori-chan. Guess I got a little over-excited for some dirt. That's what a weekend shift does to a girl, you know. But not for much longer!" She yelled triumphantly, jabbing a finger at the clock. "Another hour and I've paid off my debt! Oh yeah!"

Was she [i]still[/i] on about those accursed boots? Leiko pondered in slight disbelief as she watched her friend do some kind of victory dance. Perhaps it was just a strange sentiment to Leiko; her high class upbringing left her wanting for nothing, after all. Paying off any sort of debt was an alien concept to her. [color=fff200]"As pleasing as it is to hear that, Saya, I wouldn't hold my breath,"[/color] Leiko said with a small shrug of her shoulders. [color=fff200]"This isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last time you're in this predicament."[/color]

"Oh, please. I am not getting stuck doing this lame-ass job again," Saya denied with a grimace at the very thought. "I mean, I could be spending my Sunday shopping instead, you know?"

[color=fff200]"And there lies the eternal conundrum...",[/color] Leiko murmured under her breath, before realizing that Kotori was still in their presence and looking somewhat uncomfortable. [color=fff200]"Oh, I would like to apologize on behalf of my friend Saya by the way, Shirohane-san. I am fairly sure she was born with her fist firmly lodged in her mouth,"[/color] she remarked dryly. [color=fff200]"Just pay her no mind, and order some food before delving further into our discussion, hmm?"[/color] 

"Sooooo mean," Saya whined pouting slightly as her eyes flickered to the side for a moment. "Oh shoot, I think I just saw my mother lurking around. Better not let her catch me." She quickly got to her feet with an agile and fluid motion, which was impressive considering the wheels attached to her feet. "Don't forget you're coming over later, right Hama-chan?" You promised." She looked over again at Kotori with a thoughtful look. "Hmm. Hey, you wanna hang out at mine as well, Kotori-chan? We can have like a big, girly sleepover!" She clapped her hands together in excitement. "I know you're like, really quiet in school and stuff, but you can loosen up at mine! We'll smuggle some of my dad's sake from the cellar and-"

[color=fff200]No,"[/color] Leiko quickly interjected before Saya brought her suggestion to its completion. [color=fff200]"I would prefer us not to get inebriated when we have school tomorrow-or at all, quite frankly!"[/color] She added with slight colour rushing to her cheeks at her implication. [color=fff200]"Shirohane will have a terrible first impression of us both if you keep nattering away-and then I will never get an insight into the common student's literary interests!"[/color]

"...That's what you're talking about?" The disapproval was dripping from every syllable of Saya's words as she rolled her eyes dramatically. "Gee, should have known that you were doing drama stuff. Can't you chill even on your days off, Hama-chan? Seriously." She looked over at Kotori pityingly. "Wow, I feel kinda sorry for you. She cornered you with this stuff, did she? But I am serious if you wanna chill later. I'm always up for having new friends. Hama-chan too, even if she is a grump about it," she grinned, ignoring the scowl being thrown from Leiko's direction.
