Ayame's blood ran cold. Those were the words she'd been dreading since she started shoplifting. And with her disguise down, that meant they'd have an accurate description of what she looked like. It would be very bad if word of this got to the school. She debated bolting right then and there. Maybe parkour her way through an alley like a badass and then throw on a disguise and wait for things to calm down. She clutched her bag and pulled it close to her. Then again, jumping around with glass bottles -- ones that she paid good money for -- probably wasn't then best idea. Wait, she'd paid [i]money[/i] for those. Sure, she was underaged, but she hadn't stolen them, and there was no way somebody would be giving her this much trouble over stupid paper bags. She could easily talk her way out of this one.

[color=ec008c]"Hmm? Thief? I think you've got the wrong girl."[/color] She gave a nervous laugh and slowly turned around to face her accuser. [color=ec008c]"I did a bit of shopping, but I paid for it."[/color] She put on the cutest smile she could muster. Whenever lying her way out of trouble didn't work, she could always play the "innocent schoolgirl" card for damage control, though it was only effective against those who didn't know her... unlike the person who had called her out. She clenched her fists, and puffed her cheeks. [color=ec008c]"Tatsuya, you jerk!"[/color] Her heart was still racing, but there was no way she would admit how scared he had her there. She glared at him for a moment, but then let out an indignant huff. [color=ec008c]"Hmpf. I guess you feel like sleeping with one eye open tonight."[/color] As a prankster, Ayame could take a joke, especially a little one like that. She rarely got seriously angry when mischief was turned against her. However, she [i]did,[/i] get even. 

[color=ec008c]"And here I went through all that trouble to get us something nice to enjoy today."[/color] She patted her schoolbag full of booze. Odd bulges could be seen, indicating that it definitely wasn't her typical haul of chips and candy. [color=ec008c]"But, if you're gonna falsely accuse people of thievery, I guess I shouldn't drag you into my alleged crimes."[/color] She crossed her arms and smirked. [color=ec008c]"I'll just share it with Jaa-kun. You can stay sober and watch us have a good time."[/color]
