The happy go lucky Katie hummed to herself with no recourse for her own sake or those of the same faces obvious snickering and making snide comments behind one another nearby. She paid no attention to them, no outburst or sobs, for all her usual glee It'd come at the exasperated struggle of long putting such trivial silly behavior beneath her.
Putting the usual rift-raft out of mind and having put in her academic hours for the day, she took one last look at her locker before setting off. She put on a quality hand-crafted cat-eared headband and observed her belongings. Anime posters, one's printed and drawn by her, vintage recipes and a menu from a cool diner she visited once, stickers, colorful pins and an 'ironic selfie' of her and Zach wearing beanies together, all manner of sentimental paraphernalia. She sighed longingly, taking her sketchbook and closing her things from the world, to be revisited for fonder times. Like tomorrow, there was always a tomorrow she figured.
Hearing a crude gurgling in her stomach, she ran to the bathroom. A mischievous smile lit up on a tailing older looking women close behind. She'd seen the fervor this girl possessed, such raw potential for tweaking. With a sassy stride she followed her in.
