Morning
Miki stood in the parking lot, about 12 feet away from the wall. She was kicking the soccerball so hard that the repeated force off hitting the concrete was starting to deform it. It had only been a few minutes, but she was already working up a sweat. "Damn!" Thud. "You!" Thud. "Tsunku!!" Thud. Bang. Crash. In Hello Pro it was commonplace to blame Tsunku for all your problems. Because in one way or another, he was essentially responsible. If he passed you in an audition, then he was the reason you were here. If you were here and encountered a problem of some sort, therefore it was his fault. Looking back on it, this morning was pretty much all Miki's fault. But Miki wasn't going to blame herself anytime soon. So Tsunku it was. Miki stood with her hand on her hip. She knew what she was going to see if she turned around, but did none the less. That last crash, that followed the bang, was the soccer ball hitting a car's windshield. She put her arms up in the air and brought them down on top of her head. She sighed. Out of the corner of her eye she realized she wasn't alone. She turned her head a bit to see Korenaga. Unfortunately for Korenaga, she was the plain Jane thrown into life with the idols. But sometimes, she managed to look quite attractive. This was one of those times. She stood at the other end of the parking lot, with a pair of jeans on and a grey longsleved shirt. Her messenger bag was hanging off her left shoulder, filled with books and various other supplies a university student would need. Korenaga essentially just played on the futsal team, but the management had given her the option to live in the building. She took it. It was just logical. University was expensive enough, and not having to rent an appartment and buy meals was a great thing for her. Some how Korenaga managed to stay normal even though she lived with all of them. She kept the mindset of your average girl, which was a breathe of fresh air. The ball made its way to the other end of the lot where she poped it into the air and caught it. She started lightly tossing it into the air and catching it. Miki looked away from her.
"You okay?" she asked as she made her way to where Miki was standing.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, alright." There was an awkward pause. The one Miki knew that she was lying but didn't know if she should push the subject, and the other Miki didn't want to talk about what was bothering her.
"Well, I'll be around. I only have one class later if you want to get a game started."
"Maybe."
Korenaga tossed Miki the ball and made her way into the apartment.Just as she was about to step inside Miki called out to her.
"Hey, how many lesbian jokes do you know?"
Korenaga had a look of sheer confusion on her face. The question completely threw her off and she made no attempt to hide it.
"Um, what?"
"Nothing, you'll find out soon enough."
With that Korenaga closed the door.
