Presents - Chapter 1
Ahh, the fresh breeze is so nice on a hot day like today. "I bet it's nice to be part of such a beautiful town." I say to Misaki.
"Yeah. It's been 10 years since I used to live here, it kind of makes me appreciate the town more." She says.
"I wish I could have lived in a place like this."
"Well now you can!" Says Misaki cheerfully.
"We should buy something for the landlord you know for a thank you in giving us a place to stay."
"Good idea, how about some cake and flowers."
"Hmm, okay but you're carrying the cake, because I don't think I'll make it without nicking a slice."
"Deal, oh how bout over there, looks like a nice shop."
"Yeah but it's a bit crowded, seems like a bunch of girls are obsessing over the florist." I say.
"But he has really pretty flowers. Please Cam, Please?" Pleads Misaki.
"Ahh, fine, but make it quick." I say as we head towards the shop.
The guy running the shop has a bouquet in his hands and is giving the girls flowers. He stops and glances at Misaki and heads our way. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
"Hi, I'm Misaki Sera, and this is my friend Camlie Gill." Introduces Misaki.
"Misaki...oh, it's me Haruki Tanemura, can't believe you back in town." He says.
"Haru, wow you've changed a lot."
"Ahem." I say. clearing my throat.
"Oh, that's right, um can we get that bouquet?" She says pointing towards it.
"Yeah, sure have a nice day, maybe we could catch up some time."
"Sure." She says, hesitating to leave. Awh, no I feel guilty for not letting them talk. Never mind nothing a little cake can't solve. I think as we continue down the street.
"Hey," I say lightly tapping Misaki on the shoulder. "How 'bout that shop over there for the cake."
"Looks nice, okay." She says in her usual cheery tone. We enter the shop but it seems like there's nobody here.
"Hello, anybody there, we're here to buy some cake." I say. We here some voices from the back arguing it seems.
"What do you want?" Says a boy coldly.
"Umm, we'll have..." Misaki looks at me.
"I don't know, you used to live here choose any cake you think is good." I say bluntly.
"We'll have a Mont Blanc, the Victoria sponge, Cherry heaven and fruit cake." She says.
"And the death by chocolate." I quickly add.
"That's a lot of cake if you eat that much you're definitely gonna get fat."
"None of it is for us."
"What, I chose the chocolate one for me...And you, if you really want some." I say.
"But I'm pretty sure the landlord has 4 kids and then a cake for the adults." She explains.
"Yeah well they can share they're family. Don't need to be that generous, sheesh." I say pouting.
"Fine, we'll have two chocolate ones please." She sighs.
"Thank you." I say giving her a slight hug. "I'll take these and wait outside. Bye!" I say, without giving Misaki chance to speak I snatch the bouquet from her hands and go outside. A few minutes later she comes out and we head for a building called the black ship.
"Stop, thief." Says a man from behind us, we turn around to see what the commotions about. And a man grabs Misaki's wrist.
"Let go she's not your thief, she's been with me the whole time." I shout, but sadly the man doesn't let go and starts dragging Misaki. Just then a guy out of nowhere lands a punch on the crazy man. He holds Misaki in his arms and at first he's really nice about it and then he asks her to pay. So me and my crazy mouth is just forced to interfere knowing Misaki she won't be able to handle it.
"Umm excuse me mister! She didn't steal anything she was with me and we just came out of that cake shop." I say full of sass. Man I have a problem ever since I came into this town. "So you put her down right this instance."
Haruki walks up to her and backs me up, then we have an introduction.
"Hi Ryo, You've changed a lot since the last time I saw you." Misaki says.
"Yeah, I guess I have, anyway see you around." He replies. During their conversation I'm talking to Haruki.
"Thanks for backing me up there, I wasn't sure your friend bought it." I say to Haruki.
"No problem, by the way I wasn't able to get you name, back when we met." He says giving me a gentle smile.
"Oh yeah, umm.. My name is Camile Gill." I say cheerfully.
"Camile, it' a really nice name, I'm guessing your not from here."
"No, but I'm moving today with Misaki, she's gonna help me with my Japanese so don't judge if I sound bad for the first few days." I reply.
"Haha, I won't." He says laughing. Wow, he's really nice and friendly, I guess Misaki's right, people are really nice in a small town like this. Misaki comes and joins us.
"You ready,"
"Uhh," I look around to see if I'm forgetting something. "Yeah,"
"Well then let's go, Bye Haru." She says leaving.
"Bye, hope I see you again sometime." I say.
"Same here, bye." He replies.
We finally make it to the black ship...
