Description
"Um.... excuse me?"The stranger turned and Sayo found herself staring into the angular face of a young man about her own age. As he turned, a scruffy rust-red ponytail flopped over his shoulder and stretched to the small of his back. His side-bangs covered his ears and framed his face. Two eyebrows were arched comically over a pair of dark eyes, made more noticeable by dint of his pale skin. His right cheek bulged with a bite of apple and Sayo noticed an odd mark just at his jaw line. Like claw-marks, two black lines were present, staring off thick at the bottom and thinning to sharp points just before his cheekbones, they curved inward slightly towards his mouth. The boy swallowed suddenly and opened the mouth in question.
"Can I....help you?" he asked hesitantly.
His voice was slightly accented, though Sayo couldn't quite place it.
The look he gave her now was incredulous and superior. After the day she had had, Sayo was not in the best of moods, and this, this boy had the gall to talk to her like she was the intruder? Her temper flared and got the better of her.
"You do realise, those are my apples you're stealing?" She snapped viciously.
Rather than flinch or apologise, the boy grinned. It started off as a little smile then grew slowly to a full-blown, ear-to-ear smirk. It was a condescending, a maddening grin and it got Sayo even more infuriated than she had been before.
Which was obviously the boy's intention.
