A girl in black pants and a hoodie sat at a table with a boy around her age in the library. The girl had black hair with natural red streaks that were the same fiery color as the boy sitting next to her in jeans and a shirt had for his long hair. The other odd thing about the two was that they both had green eyes. But the boys were lighter, more of an emerald where the girls were more of a dark, forest green.
No one would have guessed to see the two together. They attended the same school, but were complete opposites. He was the start student that had all the girls falling for him. She was a failing student who rebelled against the school system as often as she could. Her failing grades are what had brought them together on this Saturday morning in the library. The school had requested Shuichi Minamino to tutor their worst student Terra Isilra.
The table they were sitting at was full of papers and books. Lucky for them the library was hardly ever busy and they could study in peace. But sitting in a library wasn’t exactly the thing either of them had had in mind for their Saturday.
As the doors the library opened and let in a cold gust of the winter wind outside, they both looked up to see who would be entering the old, run-down building. Terra snorted at the stupidity of the girl who had entered. She wore old, tattered blue jeans and a tank top. It wasn’t summer or even fall anymore; it was full blown winter.
Shuichi was stunned by the new girls dress attire. He hadn’t thought anyone would war something like that in weather that could create frostbite without a jacket at least. But the girl didn’t seem cold, unless you counted her rounded, bony shoulders. She had blonde hair that fell past her shoulders and had been ruffled in the wind.
The girl took little notice of anyone around her as she continued to walk around the building that was warmer than the outside weather. She could feel a couple pairs of eyes on her, but she ignored them. She was just glad she had found someplace warm. Near a couple of tables where two teens her age sat poured over work sat, was a fireplace with a small fire inside. She smiled as she walked over towards the fireplace and took a sit in a chair near it.
Shuichi had started to explain another problem to Terra after the short disturbance. But to his dismay, she wasn’t listening. Terra was watching the girl who had taken a seat near them, but closer to the fire.
“Who would be walking in weather like this with hardly anything on?” She asked her voice seemingly harsh. Her question was directed neither at Shuichi nor the girl.
It was then that it was brought to his attention that she had not heard one word he said. Shuichi sighed patiently, “Terra, if you wish to get out of this building with daylight left, then I suggest we start working. I assume we both have other things that we would like to get done today.”
“Sorry, Shuichi, I just don’t understand how someone can walk outside like that when it’s below thirty degrees. It’s just stupid.” Terra told him, hardly giving him a glance as she continued to stare at the girl.
Before Shuichi could answer, a soft, but cold, feminine voice spoke up from the girl near the fire. She looked at neither of them, but continued to stare into the flames, “I would appreciate it if you would either quiet your voice so I can’t hear or if there is something you would like to say, say it to my face.”
“And I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t barge into my conversations.” Terra shot back at the girl.
“If you don’t want others to hear or join, then don’t talk so loudly.” The girl replied coolly turning to stare at the two with bright blue eyes.
“I’ll talk in whatever volume I want. If you don’t want to hear it, then don’t listen.” Terra told the girl.
“Terra, this is a library. You can’t talk to loud.” Shuichi stepped in.
Terra turned her gaze to him, “Fine, take her side, Shuichi. But if you haven’t noticed besides for the librarian who is so old she wouldn’t hear you if you screamed in her ear, we are the only people in here.” With that Terra stood up and walked out of the library, her jacket cradled in her arms.
Shuichi sighed. Now they would have to schedule another time to study unless she started taking hr studies more seriously. He started to gather the books and papers that were on the table.
“I’m sorry if I ruined or interrupted something.” The girl by the fire told him as she watched him clean up the table.
“It wasn’t your fault at all, Miss. Terra has…an attitude.” Shuichi told her.
“It’s Myrrh. If those books belong here, I can put them away for you later. You probably have better things to do.” She told him.
Shuichi turned to her, for once since she walked in, his emerald eyes taking her in, “Do you stay here often?”
“I have for the past week or so. It’s someplace that is somewhat warm.” She replied with a shrug.
Shuichi passed a hand through his hair, “Well, if you wouldn’t mind, I would appreciate that. There are some things that I must see to.”
Myrrh nodded as she turned back to the fire, “Okay, just leave them there than and I’ll deal with them later.”
Shuichi did as he was told and grabbed his jacket before walking out of the library. After walking down the block for only a few strides, he was joined by a shorter man in all black.
