"And you'll never believe it; he got down on one knee and proposed to me. Gosh, Amu, the whole thing was just so spontaneous!" gushed Utau as the we walked through the college campus.
"Uh-huh. Well that's good," I replied as I stuffed my book into my bag.
Utau stopped dead in her tracks and looked to me.
"Are you not happy for me?" she asked with an arched brow.
I continued walking. This was a usual conversation we would have on a regular basis.
"Utau, I am happy for you. Believe me, it's just that-
"You don't believe in romance, which you think is just a bunch of hormones being unleashed into the air having people act like a bunch of love struck fools."
"Exactly."
Utau ran up to catch up with me.
"Normally, I would question your sanity, but there's more!"
"Do tell."
"Well…Kukai wants to have something like an engagement party on Saturday. You're invited."
"Cool. What time does this whole 'engagement' thing start?"
Utau bit her lip nervously.
"Well…it's more like this. Since you're going to be my maid of honor on the actual wedding day, you kind of have to come a month early for the engagement party…you know to help me out. The same goes for the best man…he's coming in early too."
This time I stopped.
"Really Utau? You know-
"There's more."
I groaned but remained silent for the most part to listen.
"It's going to be in Italy," she said trying to add some enthusiasm.
"Utau, I have summer work, and a job. I can't just put everything on pause and just go to Italy."
"Please Amu, come on, it's my engagement party. And summer break is three months; the party will only take up a month."
I looked her straight in the eye trying to reason with her. I wasn't just going to stop everything and go to Italy. One month without pay, meant one month I couldn't pay the rent to my apartment. And the last thing I really needed or wanted as a matter of fact was to argue with my horrid land lady.
Just then, I felt my phone vibrate through my bag. Glad for the little distraction I fished for it through the chaotic mess which had nestled itself into my bag and pulled it out. 'Horoscope Update' flashed over the screen. Sighing, I clicked on it and a baby blue screen came up.
Your Daily Libra Horoscope
Thursday June 1
Summer is here and everyone around you seems to want to be all play and no work. Your first reaction however is to continue working. And while normally this would be the best thing for the Libra as the moon is usually in power, this month, the planet Venus seems to be coming forth. And the goddess Aphrodite has special plans for you. So don't let opportunities pass you by. It may be a great chance to let a new flame ignite in your life.
By the time I had finished reading the unusually long horoscope, I was practically glaring at the screen. For a moment, I was tempted to just turn off my phone, toss it back into my bag, and reject Utau's offer. Simple. But, what if this was meant to happen? What if it was destiny? If it was, I wasn't about to fight it.
I looked up to meet Utau's waiting eyes.
"Fine," I sighed giving in.
Utau squealed and wrapped her arms around me.
"Thank you, thank you so much! Oh my gosh, I am so excited!"
While I wasn't a firm believer of romance, I did strongly believe in destiny.
