Second chapter to my first fanfiction. Forgive me if you don't think if it's as good as the prolouge. Enjoy.
It was a lovely day, but Lillian wasn't exactly what you'd call happy.
Instead, she was as moody as possible. Cam had just "dumped" her when she was just on the edge of being in a relationship, saying it "just wasn't possible" and "there's somebody else I like". And it was just the first day of Summer.
She walked down the hill into Konohana. Lillian had just moved there a month ago, but she loved the town.
Bump. "Oh, I'm so, so sor-"
Lillian looked at the person who she bumped into. Dirk. A person who she hadn't seen since she was 14, the person who gave her a single kiss on the cheek.
Dirk picked himself of the floor and gave me his hand. She took it and stood up.
"Dirk?" she asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing."
"Well?"
"Well, what?"
"What are you doing here?"
He grunted. "I'm the new mailman, dummy. Hello? Bag full of mail?"
"Oh. Sorry, didn't notice!" Lillian said, noticing the slight change of personality.
Dirk turned to walk away, but not before she noticed he had dropped a letter. "Um... Dirk? You droppe-" but he was already gone. Lillian rolled her eyes and shoved the vanilla-coloured envelope into her bag, making a mental note to give it to him later.
She walked over to the town hall to talk to the mayor's daughter, Min. Min was practically her only friend she made so far in Konohana.
Min was practically the friendliest girl in the world. She had shoulder-length black hair and soft brown eyes. Her dad was dead, just like Lillian's mother, but she was still friendly and cheerful. Probably due to the fact she never knew her father.
Min was lifting boxes and writing down some things on a clipboard. "Turnips... potatoes... weeds, again, ugh..."
"Hey, Min."
"Hi, Lillian... milk... eggs... branches, ugh, not again..."
"Counting shipments?"
"Yeah. Have you been putting weeds and branches in there? Again?"
Lillian blushed. "Maybe..." she started fiddling with her dress.
"Come on, I know you have." Min bumped her on the arm.
"Ok, fine. I needed some quick money, so I put some, ok?"
"All right, fine. You're forgiven. But.. great. Now I have to find someone who wants these stupid weeds."
"Thank god." Then Lillian paused. "Do you mind if I ask you something?"
"Yeah. Sure. Just make it snappy, I need to finish-" Min looked at the many boxes in front of her.
"Of course. It's just, um... when did Dirk move here?"
Min knit her eyebrows. "Did you know him before? 'Cause you sound familiar with him."
"Yeah. He was my... friend. Ok, can you just answer my question?"
"Fine. He moved here yesterday night, he was hired as the mailman 'bout a few weeks ago," Min finished. "Are you happy?"
"When last night? I wasn't told about this."
"Nine. We tried to get in your house, but the door was locked shut."
Lillian blushed. She was so tired last night from cutting down all her crops for Summer, she fell asleep at 5 o'clock. "Thanks. Now I need to go."
"Wait. I need you to do something for me."
"Sure. Least I can do for you answering my question."
"Can you deliver something?"
Lillian groaned. "Ok, what?"
Min handed her a heavy box. "This goes to Philip."
Lillian groaned. Just perfect, she thought, out of all the people, why my twin brother?
"Does it have to be Philip?"
"Yes. He wanted it, and I need to finish doing the shipments." Min tucked a strand of her straight black hair behind her ear. "Now will you please leave me alone, I need to finish the shipments."
Lillian rolled her eyes and cursed. Time to start the trek to Bluebell.
