Sunsets ~ Chapter Two
"Uhh... Kai?" There was no reply. What was this guy up to now? "(... I'll try to ring him.)" He flipped his old, rusty mobile out in a flash and dialed the numbers like a dash of lighting. A metallic sounding ring could be heard echoing around the empty wood work room. "H-Hello?" Kai's voice was muted by the sound of girls. "Where the fuck are you?!" ... It took a while for a reply, or if he replied before that, the voice of girls laughing was over heard. "Uhh... Can't talk to you now... Cya later" He hung up. "K-kai?!" Gray muttered to himself. "Dang perv..." He whipped on his work clothes and headed off to his work unit... Saibara's Blacksmiths ; The finest Blacksmiths around - Or so his old Grandad thought, but not Gray. Gray wasn't quite the determined man to judge on a blacksmiths that he struggled to even make the cheapest looking bracelet. He was a failure there. Why was life so crap to him? "Hey, Gray your late, again!" Gray ignored the bum and walked over to his work desk. A blonde girl opened the creaky door as the bell rang out. She went over to Saibara and asked him if she could buy a brush. "GRAY!" He called out. Gray came over with a brush and handed it to the girl... Wait... He knew this girl... "Here you g... (Oh shit... Its her from the beach)." He turned red and the girl did too, recognising his face. "Whats the hustle you love birds?!" Saibara was a deeply impatient man whom had no respect for the young kids but was far to respectful for the elders. "Now I want your arse out of here, Missy!" The embarrassed girl took her brush and left, not even having to pay for it since Saibara was far to annoyed with young people as to waiting for their pay. "Ah.. Work is finished. Cya!" Gray walked out of the door and saw the girl. "... (just walk past, Gray... Its just a harmless birdie...)" He tried to walk past but she stopped him. "Uhh Hey! What's your name?" He had been suspended from leaving now. He had to face her. He turned red just as he spoke. "Uhh, Gray..." She smiled. "Mines Claire. Good to meet someone new." Gray walked off back to his appartment. For once, Kai was actually there but he had brought his friend, Cliff over, who Gray knew was very unsocial. "Uhh.... Hey Gray!" He muttered. "Cliffs just hangin' out, dude. Don't mind him!" Kai answered. "I'm off." Gray exclaimed. "Uhh... Bye!" Cliff muttered for the last time. Gray for one, hated Cliff because of his constant 'Uhhs' and 'Umms'. He wandered off to what seemed to be a farm. One thing he didn't notice was that it was Claire's farm...
