[color=9966cc]"Come on..... 3..2..1.. B-Bye Teach!"[/color] The school bell rung; dismissing the class, or rather her, as she rushed out the door, skipping her duties without another thought. She had a place to be today and she didn't want to be late. This was just another chance for her to make a difference. She grabbed her plain white umbrella as she left the school and bumbled down the side of the road, her umbrella not doing much as she ran more into the rain than what would have fallen on her if she'd just walk, even without the umbrella. 

She paused in front of the market, her umbrella finally doing its job, thinking that food would be a good way to ease the mood. Food was always a necessity for a gathering of people, right? Her father frequently held small parties for his friends, and there was always food. Though she'd have to think of an excuse to give him. He was always trying to see what was up with her and gave her plenty of money in case of emergencies, probably just being a normal dad, but it annoyed her to some extent at the amount of money and the effort at which he tried. None of the other kids were near as rich as she was, and she doubted their fathers knocked on the door to her life every chance they got; though to be fair, she loved her dad and was grateful that he was able to give her the privacy she requested when she needed it.

After wandering about the market for some time, she finally made a decision on what to bring to the party. She settled on filing an unmarked box full of melon bread and bancha tea for about 10 people as well as a couple of cans of black coffee for any of those with grown-up tastes. Trying not to spend too much as she didn't want to raise too much suspicion from her dad. She also ended up loosing her umbrella along the way without her notice as she wobbled to where they were supposed to meet.. but wait, where was that again?
