RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGG!
SMACK!
Ugh. This is really not helping me save the money that Dad gave me since I left. I mean, come on. It's been a week since I've decided to live alone, and here I am breaking the seventh alarm clock. I really should talk with Mom about this. Over the past few days, I arrive late at my home, like 9:00 in the evening, just searching for an alarm clock that can resist my punches and cute enough for me and my stuffed pink rabbit, Isa-chan to adore.
I really need to stop this weird fetish of mine. I'm seventeen years old, for Pete's sake. Ever since we stepped into the age of three, I and my twin sister, Hairi or "Hai-chan" as I call her, eat more desserts than regular food. Surprisingly though, we were still thin after eating a lot of amount of carbohydrates. The "sweet teeth" of the family are Hairi, me, and our younger sister, Yurika. I have five siblings, including my twin. Me and Hai-chan are in the middle, the eldest are Akihiro and Akihito or "Hiro-chan" and "Hito-chan", and the youngest are Youichi and Yurika or "You-chan" and "Yuri-chan".
My parents have matching names, too. My dad's name is Touya while my mom's name is Touko which both mean "battle".
Aw shucks. Thinking about my family makes me homesick. I'm beginning to regret my decision right now. I should've followed my twin at America and study there or at least live with my family back at the mansion. Who knew living alone would be so much difficult?
~.^.^.~
When I broke my alarm clock, it was still half past five. As much as I hate waking up, I am still an early riser. Back at home, I use to wake up at 6:00 A.M., with Akira, my personal maid, waking me up. She was the only one whom I don't hit when I wake up. But since I decided to live alone, Dad told me that I must really live alone, with no maids, no roommate, no pets, too. He even told me to leave Isa-chan, which is really a big no-no to me. That's why I'm here, at an apartment complex, alone with my Isa-chan.
So, after a quick cold shower, I cooked for breakfast. Don't be surprised; not all rich people are spoiled. I actually know how to cook just because of sweets. My parents and siblings-(with the exception of Hai-chan)- doesn't even know about this. After eating, I washed my plates and got ready for work.
Yes, you heard me right, work. I got myself a part-time job at a bakeshop, since it's still summer vacation and I don't have anything to do here. Some people even bothered to ask me why I work when I can just ask money from my parents. Well, it's because I don't want to ask for money from them. Well, they do promise to give money every month; so why ask for more? And, since I want to live independently, I might as well work to prove my parents that I can survive even without them giving me money. I even promised myself to never withdraw any amount of money from my bank unless it's very important.
When I was finished preparing myself for work, I placed Isa-chan at my bag. I then got my keys and when I got outside, I locked my door. I decided to go the subway station, for I don't want to get sweaty when I arrive there, and I also love to go on them most, since it is my favorite mode of transport, since the only mode of transportation to me long ago was the limos which were owned by my family.
It only took about 10 minutes before I finally saw the bakeshop. It was only a small bakeshop, though, with a park next to it. The park was large; it consists of a fish pond and a beautiful garden with a wide variety of flowers in it. There are also a lot of benches, and lots of people mostly take their lunch here, and that includes me and Isa-chan!
When I got off the subway train, there was a girl, same age as me, though a very tall girl at the height of 5"9, her curly brown hair bouncing up and down as she gave me a wide smile. "Good Morning Okane-chan! Isn't it a nice day?"
"Yeah, it sure is!"
Her name is Mizuki Kagome. Ever since I started working at the bakeshop, she was the first person to approach me. Right now, she's like my old sister, even though she's only older than me by five months.
"I'm the first one to arrive again! Yay!"
"Ugh. I'm just having a hard time to get used in living alone. Anyways, can we go to the bakeshop? We have about 5 minutes left. And we're still here at the subway station."
She looked at her watched then suddenly grabbed me and ran. "No, you're wrong! We have about 2 minutes left! Oh gosh this will be my first time being late!"
"Oh no! Okay, let's go, Mizu-chan!" I replied. When we arrived at the bakery, we quickly went to our lockers and dressed up. It was a good thing that we managed to do it all on time. We barely had 30 seconds left to do all of those.
The work we have this morning was so tiring. Well, it was morning. Of course, tons of people went here to buy hot bread, some bought hot chocolate; and I can't help but stare at it. I mean, I barely had those since the day I moved here. My thoughts were interrupted when Mizu-chan poked my head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
She just looked at another direction. When I followed her gaze, I saw an old woman waiting impatiently for me.
I squeaked. "Oops! I'm sorry ma'am! What can I do for you?"
~.^.^.~
Since I took the morning shift, I was out at four o' clock. Since the park closed at seven, I decided to take a stroll, because going home immediately would be very much boring. I also have to head to the supermarket which is just near at my apartment. When I arrived at the park, I took out my Isa-chan and began talking to her.
"Hey, Isa-chan! I'm so sorry I have to hide you all day! I just don't want someone to get you! Don't worry! Let's just take a quick walk around the park before going to the supermarket, 'kay?"
I have a habit on talking at non-living things or just talk to myself since I was five. My parents even took me to a psychiatrist once! I just really think that maybe, just maybe, if I keep talking to them long enough they would talk to me because I'm so noisy.
My Isa-chan is a pink stuffed rabbit with a red ribbon tied on its neck. The ribbon is a big one; it is at the back of Isa-chan's neck. She's a girl, 'kay? She is named after my late Granny Misa. Granny Misa was the one who made Isa-chan, so that's why I love to bring her around with me.
"Hey Isa-chan," I started. "I'm so hungry! Let's go to a near cake shop, 'kay?"
Sure thing, Kai-chan!, She told me.
After walking around the park, we headed to a well-known cake shop. I bought money with me always, in case I need to buy something. Okay, although I'm trying to save my money, what's bad in just spending it with cake? I'm sure Mom and Dad would understand.
As soon as I sat in a chair, a waitress immediately came up and said, "Good afternoon! What would you want to order?
"I would like to order strawberry shortcake and chocolate cake please."
The waitress then smiled at me. "Okay. Miss, we have a special bonus if you buy two or more cakes. What would you like to have, hot chocolate or coffee?"
"I would like to have hot chocolate!" I beamed. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. The waitress just smiled, and then went somewhere else.
It took only a bit before the waitress came back with both the strawberry shortcake and the chocolate cake and of course, hot chocolate.
"Yay!" I beamed.
"Enjoy your order! If you need anything, just call me; I'll be right over."
"M'kay!" I replied as she walked away.
I only finished eating both cakes for about 5 minutes. After that, I took a sip of my hot chocolate. I called the waitress to give me the receipt, and she did. After giving her the said amount and a tip, she thanked me for the tip.
I showed Isa-chan in front of her. "Isa-chan thanks you too!"
"You're welcome, Isa-chan." She smiled. "I have to go to work now, goodbye! I hope to see you again!"
"Goodbye waitress-chan!" I replied. She laughed softly before going back to work.
I then faced Isa-chan to me and said, "Isn't she kind Isa-chan?"
She sure is, Kai-chan!, she replied.
I was walking towards the door when I realized something. "Hey, Isa-chan! We forgot to ask her name? Now how are we supposed to see her again?"
We just come back here, Kai-chan! I'm sure she will still be here, I mean, she works here. So maybe let's go back here again sometime, 'kay?
I was about to reply her when I bumped into someone. Both of us fell and I accidentally dropped my Isa-chan.
The one whom I bumped into was the first one to get up. "Oops! I'm so sowwy! I was so deep in my thoughts that I accidentally bumped into you!"
When I looked up to see his face, I blushed. He's so cute! He has blonde hair, has round hazelnut brown eyes, and he looks so innocent! When I realized he held down his hand, my blush got darker from embarrassment.
"Eep! I'm sorry for staring at you!" I said as I picked up my Isa-chan and accepted the boy's hand.
He giggled. "Oh, it's okay!"
When I stood up, I faced him and said, "It's really nice to meet you…"
"Honey! Call me Honey!" He beamed. Aww.
"Honey? That is so cute!"
"Yeah, I know right! Anyways, what's your name?"
"My name's Kairi!"
"Okay Kai-chan!" Wait what? That's my nickname!
I beamed. "Yay! You guessed my nickname!"
"Really? Your nickname is so cute!"
"I know right!"
At that, we both laughed. Suddenly, a guy cleared up his throat, probably a waiter, and told us to quiet down. We quickly covered our mouths and tried to stifle our laughter. After about a minute of trying not to laugh, we quieted down. Honey was about to say something when my cell phone rang. Giving him an apologetic look, I looked at my phone.
"It's my mom." I told him. He just nodded. I decided to pick it up. "Hello?"
"Kai-chan! Where are you? I'm here at your apartment."
My eyes widen. "Wha? You have a spare key?!"
"No I don't. So could you please hurry up and go home already? I asked where you are."
"Okay I will. I'm here at a cake shop. I just finished eating."
"Would you like me to go there and pick you up?"
"No thanks mom, but I'm just gonna ride at a train."
"Okay, dear. Please take care. Goodbye. I love you~"
"I love you too mom! Goodbye~" *click*
When we finished talking, I saw Honey staring me with a sad expression at his face. Oh no! Please don't cry!
"I'm sorry Honey! I have to go now. Will we ever meet again?"
He then smiled cheerfully. Wow. He could change emotions so fast. "Of course we will! We will someday! Don't worry!"
I hugged him. "Okay let's see again sometime 'kay?"
He giggled. "Sure thing, Kai-chan!"
When I released him, I then opened the door and I saw him already sitting at a table and talking to a different waitress. I was about to look away when he saw me and he waved at me. I waved back and I walked towards the subway station.
~.^.^.~
When I arrived at the apartment, I saw the private limo and my mom outside.
"Hey mom! What brings you here?"
My mom hugged me. "I just missed you. I brought dinner for Both of us. You must be suffering at only eating outside. Let's go in!"
Actually mom I know how to cook. "Okay mom!"
After two hours of eating and talking with mom, I told her that I was okay and she must really go see my twin too.
She sighed, knowing that I was right, and went home. After hugging me to death and a quick kiss at the cheek, my mom went home. I change my mind. I want her to live here! Ugh. I am so gonna regret this.
A few moments after she left, I took another quick cold shower and prepared myself to sleep. When I was about to sleep, I realized something.
"Oh no! I actually forgot to sleep with Isa-chan! I'm so horrible!" I said as I reached for my bag. When I got my bag, I searched for her inside, only to see a similar rabbit, also pink but with no ribbons. This is so not Isa-chan.
"Who are you?" I asked "him". I think he's a boy because I really have a gut feeling he is; he has no ribbons too!
Please help, he pleaded.
"Oh no. Let me search you around if I can see anything that might help me know your owner." I said as I looked around for any clues. I only saw a hidden tag which had lovely handwriting in it. It said "Usa-chan" and below it said "The property of Mitsukuni Haninozuka". Hmm. It's similar to Isa-chan, although it's my name that is written on it.
"Haninozuka…" I whispered, as I held "Usa-chan" to me. Oh well, I guess I just have to keep this for a while. Who knows I will just meet him along the way?
"Okay, Usa-chan! Starting tomorrow, I will try my best to look for him, if that's even possible." I whispered the last part quickly so that he can't hear me.
Okay, please do!
"Usa-chan," I started as I yawned. "How about let's sleep for the night? It's already 9:00 P.M."
I'm so sleepy too, okay.
I picked him up as I went to bed and sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a very long day.
