“—-Usouuuu-chaaa~n, we all miss you so much over here! I’m being serious right now!!” A feminine voice whined over Stella’s cell phone. It was the first time in months since she had been in her home, having had spent her first two terms at Hope’s Peak Academy. While the seer had been hoping to spend some time with her family, she was still excited to hold an actual party in her house for the first time in forever. It was incredibly common for Stella hold get-togethers at her place in her old high school, but Hope’s Peak made her act different.
She had found the courage to actually send out invitations to everyone in her first period, seeing as it was the class that she felt the most comfortable with. “Awww, I miss you too, Senpai! I really do,” she smiled while drying the last of the dishes. The voice began squealing loudly almost immediately with some sort of negative emotion before finally making out the words, “Noooooo!! D- Don’t call me that!! I won’t accept that from the likes of you!! Y- You damn Super High-School Level, that’s too much!!”
“Still as loud as ever?” Stella winced, though unable to hold back a laugh, “It’s a wonder how everyone can put up with you~! Especially without me around to hold you back…”
“Ugh! I’m not a child! I have some control, you know!”
“I’m sure.” She rolled her eyes at this statement. That was a lie. She knew very well that wasn’t true. “Anyways, I told you before that I’m busy right now.”
“Busy, huh?” The girl mused over her speaker phone, “Still studying for your midterms? We’ve been struggling with really badly here too. Ours are coming up next week! It’s a total nightmare here.”
“Ah, well, I just finished testing this week,” Stella explained, “I’m going to be hosting a little party for my class. A small celebration sort of thing, I guess.”
“Ahhh~~~! A party full of bunch of geeks,” her Senpai gushed sarcastically, “What a dream~! You better hang out with us next weekend after we’re done testing! You owe us some fun too.”
“How could I say no to that?” Stella questioned, picking her up her phone once finished with her last chore. “I promise I will, Senpai, but I’m afraid we must part for now. I will be reuniting soon with my own geeks… Then I will grace you with my presence at a later time, my sweet~”
“Haha, gross! I’ll talk to you later then, Usou-chan– you better tell me how the party goes!” The two former classmates made their goodbyes before hanging up. With a sigh, Stella then pulled her hair out of its bun before walking out of the kitchen and into the living room. Who was to come first, she wondered. Oh, she hoped this party would actually be somewhat enjoyable. She knew how to please her friends, but most of her classmates were still something else to her. She liked a few, she feared a few, even intimidated by some.
Relaxing was key now, though! None of that anxiety in this household! Her grandmother had put enough crystals and candles around to keep those sort of feelings out of this place! She had to remain positive, happy, excited!
… Ah, she was pretty excited though.
The girl made her way downstairs until reaching her family’s shop. It was just as she remembered it. Shelves and displays featuring all sorts of trinkets that someone of her talent would love, and with more. All sorts of candles that had various instructions taped to them, as well as questionable items that could only go into the right hands. She never did liked those damned ouija boards that her grandmother would sell… Creepy…
Walking to the front door, she opened it as a small ‘ding’ announced her exit. Outside were all sorts of stores, cafes, and various shops on every corner. She wondered for a moment over how her classmates would feel knowing that she lived in a place like this? Surely they weren’t expecting something extravagant, right? The thought admittedly made her nervous…
Needless to say, Mayuri was quite lost! The small girl had meandered through every alley; bumping into others, mumbling some apologies-- even finding herself in dead ends! But as a little shop with trinkets and candles came into view, tears began to well up in pink eyes. Holding the black invitation close, Mayuri desperately tried to find away to not disappoint her friend!
Still-- her little heart started thumping as a little thought dawned in her mind; Mayuri had never been to a party with others her own age. Pink cheeks turned red while the click-clacks of shoes slowed; walking turned to a tiptoe as her delicate hand knocked-- perhaps a little too softly--, then pushed open the door.
Unable to hear the ding, or Stella coming to greet her; Mayuri felt her heart nervously skipping beats.
“Esuse me? U- Uucho-san? Iid Maluwi!”
