'Damn, that's good,' the girl thought as she finished the last bit of her orange soda. She looked around at the various passerby, who didn't seem to be looking, leaned up against the machine, and took a bite out of the bottle.
As she finished off the bottle, the bun-headed girl slipped the protective white mouth mask back over her face and picked up her bookbag. As she flung it over her shoulder, she wiped a bit of sweat off her brow. Despite the heat, she still wore her characteristic letterman jacket. A few people passing by gave her a glance, and she eyed them dangerously. 'Fuckin' losers. Jesus christ you gotta problem with the face?. With a hiss of discomfort she walked faster down the sidewalk.
Had it not been for the damn heat she would've kept walking all the way until she got to the dorms again, but she got thirsty once more.
"These fuckin' prices are gonna kill me.." she mumbled through the mask. The dark haired girl put it a dollar and some quarters in the closest vending machine and waited. The orange soda came down, but suddenly became stuck in the indented glass.
She stared for a good few seconds before yelling. "What the hell?! You stupid piece of SHIT!"
She kicked the machine repeatedly, getting angrier each time. "Ugh! Come ON are you kidding me?! This is bullshit! God dammit!"
But from down the sidewalk she heard the familiar sound of an adult coming to ruin the 'fun'.
"HEY! You can't kick that! Hey, kid! Knock it off!"
She turned to see a tall blond man running towards her, pointing. His uniform was obvious- a police officer. The girl turned back to the machine and kicked again. 'C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! If he questions me he'll know I broke that frickin' mailbox down on 32nd!' And what luck, the bottle suddenly fell. Success- sort of? She grabbed it and with surprising speed took off just as the officer neared her.
She ignored his yells and sped down the sidewalk, until suddenly screeching to the left and running into the thick trees. 'All right Maruko you really screwed up. It's only your second week here and already fightin' the police. Fuckin' nice. Quickly she ducked underneath some bushes and crouched down. Sure enough, a few moments later he ran past, breathing hard.
"Like ants to a picnic." Maruko chuckled as she stood and brushed the little green leaves off her skirt. 'Sure as hell won't find me in here. And..if he comes back I'll just run for it again, screw it.' With that, she unsealed the lid of the orange soda and took a long swig. 'I've had worse days, I guess.'.
