i'm a born hater [ester]

One hour passed since classes were nover. This meant free time, and by free time, this meant drawing. As an attempt to become a mangaka, Nori would always come to the library as her first location to go to not only study for a little bit, but to also draw. Nori has just finished checking in homeroom, and decided to make a quick stop to her dorms to change into another outfit. Her outfit gave more of a fall type of vibe, but it did look cute after all.

Just arriving to the library, she looked around for a table to occupy, and it wasn't too long for her to find an empty table near the exit of the library which of course saved her time. Walking to the table, she gently placed her bag right on the table as she took her seat. Nori then proceeded to opening her bag where she took out a few sheets of copy paper, lead pencil, eraser, and a few shading pencils.

Now, what should she draw? Regularly, Nori would draw people. Regular people, fantasy, anything really. She needed some inspiration. Maybe she can draw herself? Nah. Sister? Nope. Clearly this was getting no where. She could just draw some random girl and just call it a day since she needed to draw something at least. The good part of Nori's styling is that it varies instead of sticking to one signature look. It took a lot of time to try out various styles of it, and to be honest, it was really work.

So with that said, Nori began to draw away.

Hell yeah! Classes are now over! Or were over to be more technical. But who cares, classes were over! Yeah! This calls for a long day in bed, jamming to her songs on her laptop! Sadly, Ester was overrun by homework. It wasn't even hard to begin with, but Ester didn't really feel like doing them, even though it could just take a simple five minutes. She has done her role of the day as a student, and now she's taking a break from her position. She could've went back to her dorm to change out of her uniform, but she would've ended up in bed relaxing on her laptop to make some music. maybe.

Then of course the chances of Ester forgetting to do her homework and probably taking five minutes of sleep in the night just to wake up in terror and realized she had homework to do were high, so she didn't want to take that risk. So instead, she forced herself to come to the library. Luckily she had her phone and earphones so she wouldn't pass out and drool all over her work.

In fact, Ester was already listening to one of her songs on full blast to the point where people around her could hear it. Would it hurt her ears to listen to such songs like this? Hell no. Ester was hardcore, she listens to these songs on high volume as if they were just harmless and cute little puppies. This was her jam; her medicine, and other pointless metaphoric crap Ester could list.

And so here Ester is in the library. It seemed a little filled up but it wasn't so bad. Now all Ester had to do was look for some seats to take space on. Fortunately for Ester, she saw a table with only one student, and that was a blonde who had a cute style to her fashion, especially with the plaid shirt. Since there was really no one else at that table, Ester would probably sit there, not that she would find another table if that table was almost full.

To the table Ester went, she dropped her bookbag right on the table, taking a seat next to the girl as she placed both feet on the table, simply relaxing as she was listening to her music blasting like no tomorrow. Well, she did take a long walk to where she was from to here, so she needed a little break before she can start her homework. Her breaks would always extend to the point where she forgot her homework, but this she'll make sure she'll get it done today. Or so she thinks so.

Inspiration and creativity was slowly leaking onto Nori. Her hand slowly began to create shapes and angles necessary for her outlining at first. It was all finally coming in to her, but she did had to make a few pauses here and there to regather all of her thoughts again. This all took a tremendous amount of patience, and a tremendous amount of focus, all having an equal amount of both of the two. So far, the outline was slowly coming to a complete success, and if Nori does say so herself, beautiful even if it's just the outline.

...Until someone decides to rudely interrupt Nori's train of thoughts by causing a ruckus, and what was worse, it was literally near her.

The sound of a bag dropping onto the table right next to Nori made her screech a long line halfway on the paper, followed by a little jump to go with it. And to top it all off, she heard music. Music that she never thought existed. What the hell was even going on? Turning her attention to the source of annoyance, immediately the first thing she noticed was the hair.

Nori was somewhat admiring the multicolored hairstyle including the horns-- wait, horns? Those were horns on that girl's head? It looks like it was all made from her hair, too. God, Now what kind of hairstyle was that? Was she some sort of leader of a metal rock band or cosplaying for some roleplaying anime? And those piercings, especially on the ears! Obviously this was no lady Nori was sitting next to, but she might as well deal with it. Deep inside though, Nori was very interested in this girl's fashion. On the outside though, she just raised her eyebrow in disapproval.

And the way this girl was sitting too, especially when there's someone sitting right next to her. Did this little girl had no parents to teach her matters? Legs up on the table (with even a skirt on!) and listening to loud what Nori think is suppose to be music bursting about like the blonde girl isn't even here. Obviously someone needed to teach this young girl some matters.

Taking a small deep breath, Nori quickly regained her composure. Brushing some locks of hair away from her face, she stretched her free hand out to lightly tap on the other girl's shoulder, hoping to get her attention. "Excuse me, miss," She began with her use of formal Japanese language as always once she got the girl's attention, sounding completely calm and polite as if little to nothing was bothering her, even though there was clearly multiple things from this girl that was pissing her off. "But don't you think it's rude to just disturb the tranquility of a library with all of your fracas, ESPECIALLY when you're sitting next to someone?" She asked.

There she goes again, using some vocabulary to get some steam out of her. Hopefully the girl would at least know where Nori is getting at...

Just when Ester was about to change to another song as her current one was just about finished, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. There was a two second delay for Ester until she finally turned her head around to the other girl that she sat next to. It looked like she was trying to get her attention, but what for? Did the other girl needed something or something?

Ester only stared at the girl for a few seconds after she was done talking. Alright, before she can answer, what the hell was "tranquility" and "fracas?" If it was one thing she hated, it was the use of big difficult... and small difficult words being used on her. Well by that last sentence of "especially when someone is sitting next to you", this probably meant that Ester was making too much noise or disturbing the girl. Why couldn't she just say that instead of being all fancy with her words?

"My fault."" Ester apologized with a mumble, lowering the volume of her music on her phone. Well, she actually might as well try to do her homework now before she forgets. The only issue on that is Ester prefers to listen to loud music while doing homework. It always gives her the motivation she needs; more than she expects, but if this girl was going to get a little uppity about Ester's way of studying and doing homework, Ester might as well move now. Then again, she didn't really feel like it.

Putting her phone down, Ester reached over for her bookbag to dig for her papers and pencil, mumbling a few Korean curse words here and there. It was a good thing the other girl didn't know Korean... or did she? Ester just hoped not.

Pulling out a few papers, her notebook, and a pencil after two minutes of looking, Ester was now ready to begin. Ester's homework was all on math, specifically on geometry. Don't get her wrong, she actually loves math, but geometry? Might as well fail her on that. Anything but anything related to geometry is a weak spot for Ester.

"...Shit..." Ester mumbled as she stared at the questions.

At first Nori grew even more annoyed as it looked like the horned girl wasn't paying attention to Nori for a moment, but was a little relieved after the girl finally paid some attention. It didn't take too long yes, but Nori wanted immediate attention and not just ignored for a moment like what she wants is bothersome. If anyone should be bothered at the moment, it should only be Nori.

Nori stared back at the girl, her eyebrow raising back up. Why wasn't this girl speaking? Did Nori forget to put on deodorant? Did her breath smell? Or did the vocabulary Nori used was just to hard for the girl to comprehend? It was probably that, since it was  a habit of her to use some vocabulary words or what other people would say "difficult words." It couldn't be helped. But it was better to just ask Nori to rephrase the question than to stare at her like a statue.

Finally, the girl broke the silence by apologizing with a "my bad", which isn't something Nori should be bothered by, but a simply "sorry" or "I'm sorry" would be much more proper for Nori to deal with. At least the girl apologized, so there was no harm done. Anyway in response, Nori just shook her head a little with a small and soft sigh. At least she can go back to her work.

...Right after Nori heard some shuffling here and there by the girl going through her bag for something, but immediately went back to work to her drawing afterwards, trying to ignore the girl. Nori was again, slowly making her way to being done with the outline, as it wasn't too long before she was actually done with it, also known as the pose. The only details she actually managed to squeeze in the hair which had waves and the eyes, which looked pretty good.

Nori then heard the other girl mumbling... a word that should be left unsaid to repeat. She was a lady after all. Sliding her eyes to the corner of her head, she noticed some work that was very familiar to her. In fact, it looked like homework, specifically the homework Nori had when she was a third year student. By the homework, either this girl was a third year or something like that.

"It looks like you're struggling with your homework." Nori finally said to the girl once again. She decided to scoot her seat a little closer to the girl's, getting a more better view of the sheet. Once she was done looking at the sheet, she then looked up at the girl. "Would you like any help? I'm actually really familiar with this type of work, and I have no problem working with you if you need any help, either." She offered, giving a half-forced smile. She just hoped she didn't regret working with this girl after offering some help.

Damn it, damn it, damn it! If only Ester would have paid attention a little bit more in geometry class, she would've been done with this sheet before she knew it. There were only five simple questions needed to be answer, and she doesn't know how to do any one of them whatsoever. She was seriously thinking about planting her face on the paper so the questions could just slide in her brain and maybe print out answers. Many times Ester has done so and yet there was no luck found. Not even a miracle.

Ester clicked her tongue as she heard the girl next to her noticing she was struggling with her work. Of course, she would be in denial. Turning her head, she said, "Please. I'm only staring at this paper because I can't believe how incredibly easy this crap is." She scoffed as she rolled her eyes. And damn, did Ester regret saying that just to try save herself from embarrassment, even though Ester just drove herself deeper in that road.


"With that said, I don't need any help, got it?" Ester said, coming off a little prideful. If there was one thing she was full of- except for shit- it would be pride. Turning her attention back to her paper, she continued to stare at it more. Okay... she can do this... all she has to do is think... and think... attempting to remember... now she's trying to process... still thinking... still thinking... still- fuck it.

Just after a few seconds of trying to think with her homework still blank, she sighed in defeat. "Alright, I actually do need help." She mumbled, resting her head on the table. Well, so much for trying to be a big girl and think she could do it by herself, even though the chances would be that she might end up doodling on her paper.

Nori flinched a little at the amount of sass given to her. Wow, was this girl so fully of herself. So much for actually trying to help the horned girl. If she wants to be hardheaded, then so be it. Nori tried her best to at least appear friendly to the girl, but now that chance was being broken. Like I actually wanted to help you, anyway. She thought, softly sighing yet again.

Looking back at her drawing, it was somewhat near completion, but the feeling of drawing anymore was slowly disappearing, since her mood was slightly altered by the colorful haired girl but Nori still continued to push on, which wasn't too bad. The only problem is that Nori didn't have her coloring pencils so she could color her drawing. Alas, they were all at her dorm. She could probably go to the art room and get some.

The other girl finally admitted she needed some help after showing off her "tough girl" side. It amused her how someone could be so full of themselves one minute and the next thing you know they're crawling back for assistance. Cute. Turning her head to the other girl once more, Nori gave a look that shows some form of disgust.

"If you're expecting me to help you after giving such disrespect, you might as well forget my offer." Nori scorned, flipping her hair on its own and going straight back to drawing. What would really make this amusing would be the girl just begging for Nori to help, but what can be the chances of that? It's nice to dream, though.
