Haru had mostly come to this bar to shoot pool with some friends but it was never a real get together with his friends unless drinks were involved. Someone would always get stupid drunk and end up giving them all something to remember until the next time they can get away from their busy schedules to hang out. 

He made his way to the bar and ordered a few shots of Fireball for his group, taking his right then and there so there’d be less to carry. The alcohol burned its way down his throat and he scrunches his face up. After a settling breath, he brought the remaining shots over to the pool table the group of men were currently gathered around. 

Although he was supposed to be having fun with his friends, he couldn’t help but glance at the girl sitting alone at the bar every now and then. She seemed…unhappy. Not sad, but just generally, unhappy with life at the moment. Should I talk to her? he wonders. 

She notices it out of the corner of her eye, someone is staring at her, and she chooses to ignore it for the sake of her own sanity. As long as they don’t approach her or attempt a conversation she decides not to worry about it. Only, as soon as she’s setting the glass back down on the counter, they’re taking the empty seat next to her. Wonderful. 

“I couldn’t help but notice you seemed a bit lonely all by yourself.”

Leave. She avoids eye contact with the other, not responding to the comment. She’s not in the mood to deal with this today, and she’s hoping the man will leave on his own if she ignores him for long enough. Except, he doesn’t leave. He’s offering to buy her another drink, even when her glass is still half full. She’s tempted to just get up and walk away, but she shouldn’t have to move for someone who doesn’t get the message that she isn’t interested.
