[COLOR=B6B6B4][i][color=#A2B5CD][b]"Nice to meet you, too,"[/b][/color] Seiya had replied to Haruki. She turned towards the larger boy and offered a smile at his thanks. He had been much sweeter than she thought he'd be; she expected him to ignore her or not even give her a thank you in reply. [color=#A2B5CD][b]"Let's head to the cafe. I heard the coffee is pretty good there,"[/b][/color] she replied towards Haruki. She wasn't sure if she should have invited the tall boy-- maybe next time she would. For now, it was just her and Haruki.

Their studying session didn't last long. By the time that Seiya got home, it was roughly six o clock in the evening. Her parents still weren't home by the time she arrived, though that was normal. They'd get home in the next hour or so. She had remembered that they told her to order take out, which pleased her; she wasn't in the mood to cook. The school day had taxed her for some reason. Maybe it was just the crash from the coffee she drank with Haruki. Or maybe it was just because she helped him a bit too much. Then again, she was prone to doing that with just about anyone.

After having her share of dumplings, Seiya completed the last of her history homework and turned in for the night soon after. Rain still tapped against her window as she laid face up in her bed. She scrolled through a few more pictures of cats on her phone before she decided that she should probably get some sleep. Just as she tabbed out of the screen to roll over in bed, she noticed something... different. A strange red app without a name. Huh. When did she download that? Did she download it when she needed some study help? She didn't even remember. Well, she definitely didn't need it now. With a tired sigh, she held down the app and forced her phone to delete it before she went under the covers. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.[/i]

It just wouldn't stop raining.

Seiya was glad for her umbrella. The heavy downpour soaked everything else around her-- the cars, the benches, the sidewalks... The storm didn't seem like it was going to stop any time soon, either. It felt just like winter again; she had to wear a thicker jacket than usual for the rainy breeze brought a chill to the air. At least she was close to school already. The only thing she wanted to do was get to school and keep dry in the meantime. It wasn't that far from where she was. All she had to do was walk two or three more blocks and she would be there. Just as she neared another corner, however, Seiya saw a small, huddled shape underneath an overhang. It was a creamy tan in color with perky ears and a curly tail. Was that a dog? It was drenched in water and looked miserable. Where was its owner?

When she reached the dog, she pulled off her schoolbag and unzipped it. Seiya always brought a snack to school, though the dog seemed to need it more at the moment than she did. She took out a bean bun, unwrapped it, and parted it in half, making sure to not make a mess of the filling inside. The dog hardly moved. It watched her with wide, curious brown eyes, tipping its head to the side when she held out the bean bun. Now that she was closer, she noticed that it had a studded black collar but no dog tag. What a shame; there was no way she could find a way to take it home, then. Nevertheless, the dog appeared friendly. It took a step forward, sniffing at the bun before it took it from her hand and devoured it within a few bites. [color=#A2B5CD][b]"Stay safe, alright?"[/b][/color] she told it. The dog blinked at her in response. Seiya felt bad for the poor thing. It was so cute; how could someone be so careless as to lose a dog? She smiled, softly patted it on the top of its head, and continued on her way to school.
