It was unusually quite at the shop. The windows were dripping wet from the rain and there were no people on the sidewalks. No voice whatsoever. I guess since it was freezing cold outside, no one wants a cold dessert. Anyways, since I figured I was wasting my time here, I decided to close up early. The owner doesn't really care, as long as I don't do it too often.
I unlocked my bike and rode home in the rain. It was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I took a quick shower and decided to call Miku, to see if she was up for a movie or something. I dialed the number. No answer.
So for the rest of the day, I stayed at home all by myself blocking out the world with my music...
Meanwhile…
"You know Len, I think it's super sweet that you're taking off work just to spend time with me," Miku gushed.
"It's the least I can do," Len said half paying attention to the road ahead of him. He was stunned by Miku's beauty. She had her hair taken out of her usual pigtails and had let her long hair flow naturally along her shoulders. She was also wearing a short, white dress instead of her usual uniform-dress. "Our first date was a disaster! So, where would you like to go?"
"Um….how about the movies?"
"Alright."
They didn't talk for the rest of the ride. Len was busy focusing on driving, and didn't notice Miku texting a quick dramatic break-up message to Kaito…
"AHHHHHHHHHH," Miku screamed at the top of her lungs. " THIS IS A NEW DRESS YOU CLUMSY IDIOT! UGH. LENNNNNN. DID YOU SEE WHAT SHE DID?"
"My name is Luka," said the waitress sassily. "And it's just a dress. Don't worry princess, I'm sure your daddy will buy you a new one."
She half giggled at Miku's white dress that was now covered in Pepsi.
Miku took a long look at Luka. Even though Miku was furious, she had to admit, Luka was not ugly. She had long, flowing pink hair pushed back with headphones and a perfectly shaped face. She was also very slim and tall.
"LISTEN," Miku sneered. "I'M ON A DATE. THIS DRESS, IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND DRESS USED IN THIS YEAR'S INTERNATIONL FASHION SHOW, BUT I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. YOU OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THIS."
"It wouldn't matter to me if I even could afford it. Why would I want crap like that?"
Miku's face turned bright red and was about to strike Luka's perfectly shaped face, but Len quickly grabbed her hand and led her into the theater.
The next day….
Miku and I were at my locker talking about Len. I told her how bad I felt about how he probably will never like me.
"Rin," Miku said softly. "Of course Len likes you."
"How do you know?"
"I can tell. Trust me."
"To be perfectly honest, I think Len likes you, Miku."
"Rin, I think you're absolutely crazy! Remember, I'm taken. By Kaito."
"I guess..wait. Where were you yesterday? I called you several times!"
"On a date. I must have forgotten to bring my phone. Sorry!"
After school, I went straight to the shop and found the door open, which was unusual because I'm usually the first one there. I walked in and saw that we had a new employee: Kaito.
"Kaito? What are you doing here?"
"I work here now, since I don't have anything better to do with my life. Besides, I get free ice cream with my new employment. And everyone knows I LOVE ice cream."
"Haha, I'm guessing you're just trying to make some more money to spend on Miku?"
"Nah. We broke up last night."
"Oh, on your date? I'm so sorry. I saw Miku today and she said you guys were still going out. I guess she's just not over you.."
"Rin, she broke up with me last night in a text. I was at home crying all night. What the heck are you talking about?"
I didn't know how to respond.
