POV: Akira

Hmm, never thought I'd play hooky. I've normally never skip a day of school unless it was if my sister was sick or something, but today it was a personal day. 
I left the house earlier today so I don't have to tell Akina. I don't want her to think of me like some loser. 
And I told my mom and of course she was on broad. Not like she ever went to school when she was younger. 
She said not to worry about anything and have a good time, so that's my plan. I will do what I want today and just have a me day. Hmm, never actually had one of those. 
Hmm, coffee sounds good to me. I'll be walking the streets today and all so it's good get some caffeine. 
Akira: Black coffee, 3 cream and 5 sugar. 
I'll treat myself today since it IS a me day. I've been making money from the tutoring, and it technically is MY money so. 
What else should I do? I could use this day as a little field trip. I could go to a museum or go in the city to draw the landscape. That would be peaceful. Yeah. This is a me day and it's going to stay that wa-
???: Ichika is this why we left early?
Ichika: What can I say, I like my coffee. You should have one too Itsuki.
Itsuki: I don't like it. 
Ichika: Try it, please. 
Itsuki: Fine, I'll try it. . . Mmm, dang it's actually pretty good. 
Ichika: Told you. 
CRAP!!! The last thing I need is the girls here!!! Come on, the day just started!!
Itsuki: Do you want a drink?
Ichika: Do you want Yotsuba to bounce off the walls. 
Yotsuba: No I'm ok.
Itsuki: Yeah I can see why you wouldn't like it. 
Yotsuba: What's that supposed to mean?!?! Give it to me!!
Jeez is this her first time drinking coffee? I didn't like it the first time but now I have to have it. Wait no she had espresso that one ti- Ah, did she even drink it that day, or was it Nino?
Ichika: What do you think?
Yotsuba: EUURRHHH!! BLAAAAA!!
Itsuki: Is it really that bad?
Yotsuba: MHM!! Not good!
Ichika: Here you go. 
Yotsuba: Oh thanks. Ah, do you smell that?
Itsuki: Smell what?
Yotsuba: Hmm, I swear I smell Kira.
AH!! SHE REALLY IS A DOG!!! I gotta get out of here! The door is right there, I should be fine. There we go. Outside, never thought I'd want to be here. Anyways, let's get goin- Ah!
Akira: Oh, sorry, man I've been bumping into people like crazy.  
???: Akira?
Akira: Ah, Miku?!
Miku: Are you ok?
Akira: Ah, I should be asking you that. But yes, I'm fine. 
Miku: Me too. How come you aren't in uniform?
Akira: Oh, this. . . We have some time before school starts, so I'm getting something to drink ya know. 
Miku: Oh, ok. You should really get changed and head by to school. We have time but not a lot of it you know.
