"Violet! What are you doing lounging about like pampered house cat? I asked you to go to store many hours ago!" A stern voice called out, thick with a Russian accent, coming from none other than Aleksi Romanov's mother. As she spoke, her long, slender finger curled through her wavy blond hair and her violet eyes glared in her sons direction, who was laying on the cream colored couch with his headphones in his ears. On the couch, Aleksi's own pale finger was absentmindedly mimicking the actions of his mother and his half lidded eyes looked lazily over at the woman. Slowly pulling one headphone out of his ear, he turned his head toward her, "Huh?" he asked, not having heard her past the blaring music. His mother threw her hands up in frustration, "How do you grow to be such lazy slob?" she questioned, causing a laugh to erupt from the purple headed teen. "Mat, pozhaluysta, don't be such drama queen." he responded in an accent identical to his mothers, waving his hand in the air dismissively. His mother rolled her eyes and gestured to her her outfit, which admittedly did look strangely formal in a tight black dress and vibrant red heels, "I told you I catch train in one hour, I need batteries for camera. I might meet famous person!" she responded, crossing her slender arms. Aleksi simply rolled his eyes, "Bah, you don't need camera." he said. However with one look at his mothers annoyed face, a grin spread to his lips and he sat up, waving her away like a fly, "Fine fine, I go to store now." he gave in.
As he stood, Aleksi stretched his arms above his head and let out a deep yawn. He quickly fixed his hair with his fingers before he grabbed the panda hat draped over the back of the couch and pulled it onto his head then grabbed the small backpack on the coffee table. As he approached his mother, she was already fishing through her purse for money to give him, "You are going where?" he questioned, having completely tuned out her location earlier. "Not far. I will be be back in morning." she told him, handing him a handful of money and patting his head, "Good boy." she praised him, causing him to roll his eyes. Aleksi passed his mother and gave her a lazy wave over his shoulder, crossing through the room until he found himself on the other side of the door and in the outside world. It was nicer then he thought, and the sun was out which was always a relief. Behind him, he heard the click of heels hurrying in his direction, and when he turned around he was greeted by the sight of his mother holding his cell phone, which she pushed into his hands, "Don't forget phone in case you get childnapped." she told him sternly, at which he once more waved his hand dismissively, "Don't be silly. I am not child." he stated simply. Eager to get away from his mother, he began to walk from the house at a quickened pace, glancing over his shoulder to see she was still standing there, which caused his eyes to roll. "Ridiculous woman." he muttered.
The walk to store was a relatively short one. He took the shortcut through the park and ended up there in less than twenty minutes. He gazed up at the large building, as he crossed the threshold. Inside the florescent lighting was hideous in comparison to the sunlight from outside. The first thing he noticed was how unflattering it was for his pale complexion, and honestly everyone around him. It took all he had to not curl his lips in disgust, but he managed to get away with just a sneer. As he walked through the isles, he scanned the shelves for anything he might want in addition to the batteries he was sent for. Here and there he would pause, debating how much he really wanted the object at hand. As it turned out, all he would want was a bag of lychee flavored gummy candy and a peach soda. On his way to the register, he snagged the first variety pack of batteries he found and proceeded to check out. The line was short, only two people in front of him and they both only had three or four items. Despite that, by the time his items were getting checked out he was already bored of standing there. He took the time to remove his panda hat, fix his hair, then put it back on. After handing the cashier his money and receiving the change, Aleksi shoved the money and batteries into his small lavender backpack and swung it back over his shoulder. Aleksi unbuttoned his black pinstriped vest, only to smooth down the pale blue dress shirt underneath and button the vest right back up. He looked down at his black pants that ended at his knees, inspecting carefully for wrinkles, of which he found none. It had crossed his mind that he didn't do much to fix himself up before going out, but as it turned out he wasn't as disheveled as he had thought.
On his way to the park, a familiar voice called out to him, though initially he couldn't quite put his finger on who it was. "Violet! Hey, violet!" a confused look crossed over his face as he blinked, searching for the source of the voice. His eyes landed on a girl from his school, who was approaching him, a bright smile on her face. Aleksi on the other hand, remained expressionless for the most part, almost looking bored. "Privet, Misaki." he greeted, his purple irises gazing into her glittering green ones. Her pretty black hair framed her face nicely, though her shirt was horribly unflattering. "Blech, why are you wearing such awful shirt? Makes you look like fat girl." he stated, his face twisting into an expression of disgust. Her expression faltered for a moment, but she laughed it off and moved on, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you at school in ages." she asked him, walking alongside him with no visible intention of leaving. "I have not felt like school." he said with a shrug, which caused her to frown softly, "Your mom just lets you skip school?" she asked, her head tilting to the side. Aleksi responded with a nod, "Da. She tells school I am ill and brings me homework to keep grades from falling." he informed her. Misaki looked at him oddly, quite obviously surprised by his words, but she didn't question it.
By the time Aleksi had reached the park, Misaki was still at his side, chatting his ear off though he had long since tuned her out. He opened his peach soda and took a few gulps, then proceeded to look around the park with a bored expression. Every so often, he'd nod absentmindedly when it sounded like she had asked him a question, though he had grown bored of her months ago he had not yet told her directly he could care less about what she was saying, but it was only a matter of time. For the time being she wasn't annoying him too terribly, but that's only because he was ignoring her and had other things to focus on. Over time, he could feel himself getting frustrated with the background chatter. His stare drifted from person to person through the park, until finally his eyes landed on a figure that had him intrigued immediately. It was a slight female, with the some of the most beautiful long hair he'd ever seen. Aleksi paused and stared over in her direction for a moment when an idea came to mind. He didn't want to offend Misaki quite yet, because he wasn't quite certain he was done with her yet. "Misaki." he said, cutting off whatever mindless nonsense she had been spewing, "Hm?" she gave him a questioning look, "We must part ways now, I am meeting friend. There." he said, pointing to the emerald haired girl. Misaki undoubtedly looked disappointed, but either way she nodded. "Text me later, okay?" she questioned, though the only she response he got was Aleksi shoving the rest of his soda into her hands and waving over his shoulder as he walked away, "Do svidaniya." he said.
Walking away from his classmate and toward the mysterious female he had yet to meet, he could practically feel her eyes burning into the back of his head. He rolled his eyes, annoyed that she had so little trust that he was telling her the truth. He wasn't, but she didn't know that. He pulled open the package of candy in his hand and popped one into his mouth, swallowing it by the time he reached the female. Once he did, he gently rested his hand on her arm to get her attention, "Excuse me." he said to her, gently pushing on her arm to turn her in his direction. Once he saw her face, a smile curled onto his lips and he gave her a short bow, "I am Aleksi, but pretty girl like you can call me Violet." he told her, which admittedly were pretty bold words coming from a kid in a panda hat. His violet gaze examined her for a moment longer, though his fingers were itching to run through all that long and pretty hair. He stopped himself, because a girl such as this one wasn't one he wanted to offend, at least not yet.
