As the three rode to the coffee shop, where the twins still didn't know of, Aria was forced to play 20 questions with the two boys.
"Question 11,"
"Ice cream in a bowl or cone?"
"You're really counting the questions?" The two nodded with small smiles, "Okay, I would have to say cone."
"My turn, who do you think is gonna fall for Haruhi first?"
"Tamaki." They answered immediately, causing her to laugh.
"Okay question-"
"We're here Miss."
She looked out the window to see the coffee shop while raising her hood back up, "Thank you Kazema-san." She said as she got out, the twins following suit.
"So, this is the place?"
Aria nodded, ignoring the stares and hushed whispers about 'the rich folk'. They entered the building and looked around, though Aria was trying to find a table and the twins were fixed on the busy environment. The people behind the counter were flashing from one machine to the next, the people in line laughing or talking with others, the people at tables had a computer and looked ready to murder someone. Hell, when one guys' name was called he literally rushed to the girl holding coffee like it was his life force.
"I never realized how a commoners life was." Kaoru nodded at his brother in agreement.
"Welcome to Caffeine Café!" A lady behind the counter looked from around the desk to see the new customers.
"Aria!"
She said, a smile forming on both of the girls mouths. The cashier lady called back something to the crew and they all gave a quick cheer.
Aria looked at the line and grabbed Hikarus' shoulder, "Hey, sit somewhere empty for a minute. I gotta do something."
They nodded and watched as she went over to the desk, grabbed it, and swung over before putting an apron on and taking her jacket off. Her green hair in a ponytail.
"For fucks sake where were you an hour ago?" An older man laughed.
"I've stayed here since eight in the morning, I'm needing coffee to make coffee."
Aria spoke up, "Never fear, Aria is here!" She half-yelled. Causing everyone behind the counter to cheer once more.
She was a green blur as she helped make coffee and took the orders. A frappé here, espresso there, some american white girl drink, though Aria definitely spread everything up. Calling names like a gun firing a bullet.
"Wow..." The younger twin exhaled, watching the girl giving coffees and smiles.
"Is this how commoners live?" Hikaru asked, locking eyes with his brother then back at the girl.
'She's pretty with her hair up.'
The two thought, keeping their gaze on the green haired girl until the line was shorter and she waved the two over.
"Let me get your drinks."
-&-
"So do you work here?" Hikaru asked in the awkward silence, each of the teens sitting in a triangle formation at a round small table.
"Not really, I volunteer during the summers though." She said, sipping her sweetened coffee and nibbling her donut.
"Cool." The two said, unable to find any form of non-awkward conversation topics.
"How've you two been since... Then?"
Their eyes widened, "You remembered?" Kaoru asked.
Aria nodded with a hum, causing Hikaru to flinch, "Do you still blame us?"
She paused, "No," looking at their surprised yet pained expressions, "Not anymore. I was being rude, calling you two names. The bullying didn't come directly from you so it's fine."
"But... The accident..."
"You almost..."
She sighed, "That's exactly what it was, an accident."
-&-
"You two are such jerks! You don't care about anyone but yourselves!"
"We don't need to,"
"We don't need anyone but each other,"
"So go away."
-&-
She cried on the ground, her body shaking and blood on her outfit.
"That's for calling them jerks, stupid!"
-&-
"Just stay away from me!" The girl was running, her green hair visible as she tried to get away.
The two boys followed her, wanting answers, "Don't leave!"
"We're sorry!"
She turned and stopped in the road, "You mean it?"
The older twin nodded while the other one looked towards a humming sound down the road.
"You guys don't think I'm... A freak? After what you saw?"
The copper eyes in the older twin softened, "No, I just-"
"ARIA LOOK OUT!"
SLAM
The small body flew into the air and landed on the car, her arm and leg twisted in an inhuman way as her black eyes were frozen in fear. She coughed, blood coming out as the two boys screamed. The driver coming out, his phone on his ear as he spoke frantically.
-&-
"You could've died, Aria..." The two whispered, not being able to say that aloud.
"But I didn't. Instead, I closed myself off and realized how lucky I am to be alive. To have money to survive. Then, I became the Robin Hood of Japan." She gave a small smile and laugh, causing them to look up in confusion.
"Robin Hood?"
"An american story I learned. Anyway, back to the club? I have a feeling we missed a lot."
The two nodded, Kaoru smiling softly and following her out while Hikaru hesitated.
"... What if she did die?"
Sighing, he got up and followed the two outside, wanting the day to end and meet his lovely bed once more.
