Hiroshi Oshiro had been up all night, working on trying to old rust-bucket that was supposed to be an SUV up to a condition where Koryusai Oshiro, her older brother, could sell it off as per part of his job. The vast majority of the work that Hiroshi had done to the SUV was on the engine, and that was the most demanding since engines were always the most complicated back in the days that the SUV would've been made. Why Koryusai didn't just get a brand new engine for the cursed thing, Hiroshi didn't know. But she was able to fix it to the best of her ability, and had just been adjusting the suspension when suddenly, oil had leaked from somewhere along the chassis and splashed all over her chest. Thankfully, she was wearing some of her older clothes that she never cared about the exact state of, cause her top would've most certainly been ruined by that sudden oil leak. However, it was enough to catch Hiroshi by surprise... and put her in a foul mood while it was at it.

[color=9e005d]"Ssssoooon of a bitch!"[/color] Hiroshi threw her wrench to one side with all her might, before making one big heaving sigh, [color=9e005d]"That's it; I'm going to bed,"[/color]

[color=0072bc]"Too late for that,"[/color] another voice could barely be heard through a yawn, the owner of said voice revealing himself to be a Koryusai that had evidently just been woken up, [color=0072bc]"You were up all [i]night[/i] with that thing?"[/color]

[color=9e005d]"Yep. Apparently it takes that long to fix an engine..."[/color] Hiroshi rolled her eyes as she said this.

[color=0072bc]"Uh-huh. Well, you better get ready for school, now."[/color] no doubt it'd be met with yet another great, heaving sigh from Hiroshi. She'd completely forgotten that that was the day she was meant to start school again, and a part of her wished she didn't have to start until another week went by. But there was nothing for it; she could only hope that this dreaded sense of sudden lethargy wouldn't be the end of her...

[color=0072bc]"Tell ya what; you show me where this diner that you like so much is, and I'll drop you off there and give you some money for a bite to eat,"[/color] Koryusai offered, [color=0072bc]"How's that sound?"[/color]

[color=9e005d]"...yeah, sure; I'll take you up on that,"[/color] Hiroshi replied, before supposing she should get moving.

The first order of business was for Hiroshi to have a quick shower so she could change into her uniform. Even if that oil spill [i]hadn't[/i] happened, she was certain the school wouldn't appreciate her wearing anything in such a tacky state.

Sure enough, Koryusai and Hiroshi arrived, with Koryusai having driven a Nissan Fairlady Z to get there. While they were parked, Koryusai wrote out a check for Hiroshi, for ¥2500, and handed it over to the student in question.

[color=9e005d]"Seriously, Koryu? [i]This[/i] is your idea of overtime?"[/color] queried Hiroshi.

[color=0072bc]"Hey; it's enough to grab a bite,"[/color] Koryusai flatly stated, [color=0072bc]"I never said I'd let you sample the whole menu."[/color]

[color=9e005d]"You really [i]are[/i] a cheapskate,"[/color] Hiroshi quipped, opening the door and getting out, and she was just about to shut it again when she noted a peculiar yellow car all the way at the back of the parking lot, just being able to make out the badge, [color=9e005d]"Is that a Honda?"[/color]

[color=0072bc]"Yeah, looks [i]like[/i]..."[/color] replied Koryusai, before looking back to Hiroshi, [color=0072bc]"Why, what of it?"[/color]

[color=9e005d]"Eh, nothing really. I'm just curious to see if it'd still be there when I leave is all..."[/color] Hiroshi stated before finally shutting the door, [color=9e005d]"Aight, I'll see ya round."[/color]

With that, Koryusai drove off, and Hiroshi entered the restaurant.

...

Hiroshi had made herself comfortable for the moment, until eventually a waitress came over to her.

"May I take your order?" asked the waitress.

[color=9e005d]"Hmm... gimme a cup of the strongest coffee you have."[/color] Hiroshi stated, [color=9e005d]"Black. No su-... actually, maybe one teaspoon of sugar. [i]Small[/i], teaspoon."[/color]

With her order placed, Hiroshi quietly observed the goings-on around her. Most notably, a girl had yelled something about finally making it into the school or something, which caught the attention of a bookworm. That bookworm had been scolding at the girl, who didn't really seem to have taken the hint. Hiroshi could only shake her head in disgust at the sad state of the two.

[color=9e005d][i]'Nice[/i] mothering [i]there, lady,'[/i][/color] she was tempted to say to the bookworm, but she figured she'd best stay out of this.

She turned away from them, just in time to see someone else spray canned coffee all over themselves. Having never seen someone fail so spectacularly at opening a can of coffee in her life, Hiroshi couldn't help but giggle snarkily at the poor guy. She usually despised being confronted about the prospect that she might be mocking someone, but that moment was hilarious enough to be worth it.
