[b]Akane Hanazawa // Warakuma High - After School // Chagall Cafe, Mall[/b]
April 11th, 2015

Making a brief stop at the bookstore, Akane scurried over to the manga isle to check on what she may have missed. Since she's engrossed with her writing, she occasionally misses the chance to check new releases from other magazines. After grabbing a few magazines, she pays at the register and heads out of the store. Akane and Rui then went back on their way to the Mall.

Upon reaching the Cafe, Rui ordered himself a hot chocolate. Not being much of a fan of coffee, Akane decided to order the same, since they'd probably wouldn't take too kindly to a non-customer lounging about in their store. Gazing out the window, she took in the view. While not the best nor most breath-taking scene she's scene, it was still a relaxing feel. She could see the path to school, bunch of buildings and the school itself. Then her eyes stopped upon view of the Amusement Park. 

Staring at it as she took a sip of her hot chocolate, Akane couldn't help but recall of the last time she was at one herself. It was her 7th birthday and she was there with her father, mother and older brother. It was also the last time her family was together in one place and the day everything changed.... As her relaxed smile faded from her face and was replaced with a darker one. With the loud sound of someone banging on a nearby table, she snapped back to reality and saw Rui's eyes on her.

In an instant her dark expression vanished and she smiled. [b]"It's quite an relaxing view. I've always been engrossed in my reading and cooping myself up in my apartment or the club room that I never gotten a nice view of the town before. Also, all the stress didn't really help at all, so doing something like this is quite the relief. Much appreciated."[/b] She added in thanks as she closed her eyes as she took another sip of her hot chocolate. [i]Been here for 2 years and I still don't know the place all the well. Maybe I need to get out more.[/i] she smiled as she rests her chin on her right palm and gazed out the window again.
