I'll Be Waiting
Destiny Islands, in the little coffee shop that morning, a certain blond girl always came, ordering the regular, and sitting around for hours either gazing or sighing. Not only did people begin to notice, so did the employees.
"Sigh" Riku began
Kairi looked at him confused "What's wrong with you today?"
He pointed at the blond girl "That's what's wrong with me today"
She looked at who he was pointing to and laughed "Her? Geez Riku, don't you already have enough girlfriends?"
"That's not exactly what I meant"
"Then what is it?"
He looked at the girl again "It seems weird…. … everyday, she comes here ordering the usual, and just sits around all sad"
"Is that a bad thing?" she asked beginning to think of what he was trying to say
"Not really, it's almost as if…..she's waiting for someone"
She nodded "I guess I see what you mean, but we'll find out one day, right now we should probably get back to work" she announced walking behind the counter and leaned down to wake someone up "I said we should probably get back to work!" she announced loudly at the brunette boy.
"AH! I'M AWAKE!" he shouted
"Good" she grinned walking away
……………………………
Later around Noon
"Sora, can you help me fill the orders for these customers?" Riku asked in a hurry getting ready to finish some errands.
He nodded and looked at the list "Weird, there's only two orders I have to do now" as he brought the coffee to the table noticing that instead of two people, there was only one. "um… this is your order right?" he asked wanting to make sure
She looked at him in surprised and nodded "Yes, thank you" giving him a sympathetic smile
He walked back behind the counter as Kairi passed by. "Didn't Riku ask you do finish the orders our customers asked?"
"I already did, it was to that girl over there"
"Ah, okay" she laughed placing the trays into the sink. "She always comes here everyday, and she is a really sweet girl, although she's kind of quiet"
"Do you know her?" he asked out of curiosity
She shook her head "No, but I try talking to her once in a while, she seems sad most of the time, I think her name is Namine"
Looking over at the girl now known as Namine, he nodded "You're right, she does seem sad. Are you sure she isn't a ghost?"
"Sora!" she glared getting ready to hit him with the dish soap
"Sorry, sorry" he quickly apologized
…………………………….
Night
"Ah, Namine right?" Kairi began as she tapped her on the shoulder
Namine looked over to face Kairi "Y-Yes, I'm sorry, were you saying something?"
She smiled "Don't worry, I just came to tell you that we are going to close in a few minutes"
"Okay" she nodded picking up her belongings "Thank you" she added
"Wait! I have a question to ask you"
She stopped before leaving the shop and turned around. "Yes?"
"Just out of curiosity… why do you come to our shop?" Kairi tried to ask in a polite way
She paused for a moment and thought "Is it a bad thing if I come here?"
"No No! It's fine really! It's just that, well" she tried thinking of some way to ask in a nicer way "I mean, let me get straight to the point, are you always waiting for someone?"
Namine smiled "I guess you could say that" and walked out.
"So, I guess she was waiting for someone" Sora began who was cleaning up the tables
"If that's the case….."
"I bet, it was someone special to her" he continued
"It's obvious, which means…" she started
"Wait! I want to solve this mystery!" he announced interrupting her
