Ume was distracted,
Her head in the proverbial stars as she worked through the most elaborate plot she had ever thought to try and initiate... Prom, the rumor had started the chain of thought. The seed of desire that had already been planted at a certain video store had -sprung- to life when that word was introduced.
That, unfortunately, meant she was -not- paying the attention she should have been to her surroundings Had it been the weekend she might have worn one of her many layered skirts, and might have noticed she was on a collision course with a sort of 'fabric early warning system' of petticoats.
But she wasn't, she was in school wearing that little red skirt and sailor top like everyone else... and her collision was very nearly head on.
Her books and papers went everywhere, her dignity made a break for it at the first sign of trouble -and- she felt one of her hair pins slide free and part of her twist make its own bid for freedom in the ensuing chaos.
"OH! I'm sorry!" She apologized trying to regain her bearings as she was jolted back to the present.

She really, really needed to stop meeting people this way. This would now be her second time meeting someone by 'bumping' into them. No... we did not mean figuratively, this was quite literal.
With a THUD Lyre soon felt herself once again- falling back onto her a**. This time though a lot of paperwork went scattered everywhere. This writing did not seem like her own... its a good thing she kept move of her papers inside a 3 lock folder.
"Ahh Im so sorry oh my gosh!" Flailing around she quickly started to pick up everything that went flying. She would have taken the time to organize it but...picking everything up was quicker than being meticulous about it.
She quickly grabbed a good chunk of everything and made them into as neat as a pile as possible before looking up at the other girl. "Im soooo sorry.."

"I'm sorry! It's my fault! I should have looked where I was going!" She looked up worried from gathering papers and sorting out what were her own. "I'm so sorry! are you alright? I knocked you right -over-"
"Ah!" She laughed a little and pushed an unwinding strand of hair behind her ear... "There by the locker! Will you hand me that ... stick pin before someone impales their foot on it?" She laughed almost nervous but smiled.
"I am -so- sorry My head was completely somewhere else."

"That would not be pleasant!" She laughed at the mentioning of impaling a foot- before she handed the sharp object back to the other girl.
"Im Lyre, by the way." She said standing- pushing her longer locks of hair behind her ears. Dusting off the back of her skirt with one hand- she offered the papers back again.
"Want to go get some ice cream? My treat for being such a clutz!"

"Ume!" She said with a wide smile and carefully pushed the hair stick back in place before taking the papers.
"I'd love ice cream! But... I'm the one who ran into you! I should really pay! Thank you!" She added tucking the papers back into some semblance of order.
"Do you have a place you like to go?" She beamed and sorted just a little further to pull free one of Lyre's papers ((id had to be, it certainly wasn't hers)) and offered it back with a small laugh.
"At the least I fear we should double check to make sure I'm not about to leave with some of your homework! I'm so sorry! I'm normally not this disorganized!

"Ha ha! How about we pay for each others- and call it even?" She grinned broadly at the others enthusiasm.
Lyre took the piece of paper and stowed it inside one of her binders carefully. Well it seemed her three ring binder was not as reliable as it could have been!
"Yes actually- i know a place a little bit of a walk from here. We could always sort out all of the paperwork there? At least then we will have a table to work off of. I guess the professors telling us to put out names at the top of all our work will now come in handy."
Picking up her share of the jumped mess- she tapped it so it at least was manageable to walk with.... last thing they needed was for it to blow away in the wind. "This way!" She said- leading the way towards the door exit.

Ume laughed and nodded "That sounds good!... I think most of this is my chaos. She admitted... "But I see a few torn edges I'm just not sure!"
She tisked as her hair slid free from behind her ear again...not truely fixed into place till she stopped to retwist what had unwound.
"ooooo..." She said a small sound of frustration and plucked the pins one by one from her hair to let it all spin in a black waterfall down past her waist.
"I'll fix that..." She said blushing and feeling disheveled at the random and enthusiastic waves left behind from wearing that part up in its normal twist.

"Your hair is sooo pretty!" Lyre couldnt help but want to reach over and help her put it back up- but she didnt. "You should try adding curl to it some more. It looks good!" All the same- she took down both of her pony tails and offered one of the hair ties to Ume.
Lyre lead the way towards the ice cream parlor- turning here and there. It indeed was a walk that took a little bit of time and took them further downtown- but she enjoyed the walk.
Finally on arrival- she opened the door to the shop for ume and waited in line for their turn. Once it was- she turned to her new friend.
"What flavor?"

Ume blushed and put her hair up with a murmured thank you.
"Some weekends I do...it just takes so long that I only end up curling a little bit, mm I love the -color- of yours! So vibrant!"
She followed Lyre sometimes glancing to see, just in case they were being 'followed' by a certain black cat, but not this time it seemed.
"oh! Coffee toffee crunch please" She said with a little bob of her head.
"You?" she asked in return.

Grinning mischievously she turned around to the ordering person. "One Coffee toffee crunch and one Chocolate mint please!" Lyre turned around and stuck her tongue out at Ume.
Making sure that she didnt sneak attack and pay- Lyre also handed the person her card.
Once the ice cream was obtained- she offered Ume hers. It was a nice day outside so- why not eat on the outdoor tables?

Ume gave her a surprised look and hastily fumbled for her own method of pay but was -soundly- beaten to the punch.
She made a 'not really mad but I'll get you' tisk sound and took the ice cream.
"Outside sounds -wonderful-" She confirmed. "And you wait...that was -my fault- with the papers and I -will- repay you." She laughed.

Her grin spread wider as the other admitted defeat. This was HER victory! She will pester Ume later about winning the first gift war- but now was not the time for that.
Settling down in a tall metal chair she stuck a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth before grabbing the paper mess. Spoon still in mouth- she set her share down.
"I dont think this ones mine." She said handing the small notebook over to her new friend.

Ume pointed silently with a smile, that same 'friendly warning' that said there would be reciprocation's for this little gift war.
"Mmm...no that's defiantly mine" She said carefully peeking inside the front cover at a half page of notes, a few skull sketches outlined in flowers and a few sketches of a blackish cat... thing.
Not -quite- an artist to be sure.
"There are -probably- doodles all over mine" She laughed and picked out a bit of toffee with her spoon and ate it.
" Especially lately... its awful! I can't keep my head on!" She grinned pausing before she lapsed into some ridiculous antidote about her odd daydreams.
"I think you write better than me!" She noted and slid a page towards Lyre "If you can read it its probably yours!' She laughed tapping at her own tiny spidery writing.

"You like kitties?" She said- eying a few of the doodles on the edges of the paper. Yes their was also spiders and webs and the traditional tribal marks here and there- but one doodle that seemed to be abundant and the same was a black feline.
"I like cats too." Taking another spoonful of her ice cream she finished sorting out her half of the pile- now two neater piles seemed to be forming. Laughing she shook her head. "I dont know about that- my writing skills are not the best either."

"Oh I don't know... I can read it!" She said grinning and eating another bite of ice-cream while nodding about the cats.
"I love them" She said wistfully... "But so far I haven't wooed my family into keeping one, but... theirs this -adorable- one that follows me sometimes, he's -so- handsome... Just black...well..." She paused thoughtful. "Maybe more of a -really- dark charcoal because sometimes I -swear- he has a little mark on his forehead." She laughed a little. "But I think he must belong to someone..." her voice going from thoughtful to wistful... "He has a chain around his neck, no tag though... but he's so, I don't know... well sheltered I suppose is the word."
