Dell Honne stared dreamily at the girl who had stolen his heart. He saw her every other Wednesday when she came to pick up her groceries (it wasn't nearly often enough, in his opinion). She had become his obsession: Meiko. She was a brunette; her hair was about shoulder length, and she had a bit of muscle. However, she was really feminine at the same time. This always baffled Dell. How could a girl who was so strong be so cute, too? He knew it sounded sort of cliché: The boy in the checkout aisle, in love with the girl-next-door. But, how could he help it? She was really understanding, and-
He was snapped out of his reverie when said brunette waved her hand in front of his face. "Yo, Dell? You ever going to check out my groceries or what?" she said, smirking. He jumped slightly, and then returned the smirk. "Oi, Meiko. What've you been up to?" She began placing her items on the belt gently, before leaning over to dell and whispering excitedly, "Kaito asked me on a date!" Dell could feel his already stone cold heart get even colder. (It might have even cracked a little.) "O-oh?" Meiko bounced up and down excitedly. "I've liked him for a while now… I hope this date goes okay!" Dell, who wasn't even listening, just nodded and rang up her items before throwing them to his left. Luckily, his bag girl, Miku, was there to catch them.
The young tealhead had been there the whole time, but had not said anything, because even though Dell acted like he hated her, she considered them as friends, and she wanted him to date Meiko. Said brunette, who was too happy to notice Dell's sudden mood swing, just hummed happily. When he finally finished, she snatched up her bags, squeaked out a "Peace out." and ran for the door. Miku glanced at Dell, a look of extreme pity on her face. "Dell… I'm sorry…" The silver-haired boy just shrugged before muttering, "I need a smoke." and storming out the door.
