Broke
Chapter four
Darn! I can't believe a fell asleep before I could think of anything! Minto thought in frustration as she started to get dressed. Maybe I could phone in sick…No, that wouldn't work; the girls would surely come over if they knew I was sick and my family really need the money anyways. After Minto finished getting dressed did she then let a sigh escape her lips, knowing that she would have to go to the café. Hm, maybe when we're shutting up, I can sneak out the back so they won't notice me leaving Minto thought, and then nodded her head a bit in satisfaction. Yes, that could work! Feeling a bit less dreadful about going to the café did Minto then head out of her bedroom to get some breakfast. After that did then Minto leave the apartment to head to the café. "Good morning everyone" the Lorikeet greeted upon entering the café. "Good morning!" came the reply from the three other girls (Zakuro was there, but she didn't bother to reply).
After Minto got change into the café's uniform did she then took a seat at the same table as Zakuro was sitting at, who was reading some kind of magazine. Minto then looked over at the model. Usually Zakuro always acted cold and distant and when Minto or any of the other girls tried to start a conversation with her, she would just reply with short words so it made talking about something else hard or just completely blank them out. But just maybe…Just maybe she might take an interest today. "Urm…So what are you reading there?" Minto asked her. Zakuro looked over at Minto in the corner of her eye before looking back at the magazine. "Just an article about a movie" Zakuro replied unemotionally. "Is it interesting?" Minto asked, hoping her idol to take an interest in the conversation for once. "Not really…".
As expected, the conversation was starting to die. Minto was about to give up continuing anymore when suddenly an idea came to her mind. She turned back towards Zakuro, a slight smile across her pink lips. "Hey, speaking of movies, how about we go to the cinema next week?" Minto asked the Grey Wolf girl, her cheeks a light pink colour. Just thinking of spending some quality time with Zakuro filled her with happiness. "There's this movie that I've been dying to see. It looks really interesting and-" Minto continued when suddenly she was cut off. "No" Zakuro replied in a monotone voice without looking at the blue mew. "W-What…?" Minto said slowly as she looked at the purple mew. "I said no. I don't do movie theatres" Zakuro repeated in that same voice.
The model then placed the magazine on the table, then got up and walked off, probably to help the other three girls with cleaning the café before they opened up. Minto stared at her in silence with a disappointed look on her twelve-year-old face, feeling her heart sinking. No, it was more then sinking; it was now drowning. It was rather weird. Minto had known Zakuro for almost a year now and she still manages to surprise her at times. This could have been her one chance of getting to know Zakuro outside of work. She had gotten her hopes up too high. She wished Zakuro would open up to her, she really did. It was so frustrating idolizing someone, but they don't notice you or even seem to care that you adore them or want to be with them.
It was rather like having a crush on someone, but you might want to get to know them before asking them out. So, you would walk up to them and start asking a question to get the conversation going. But they don't seem interested in talking to you and then they walk away, leaving you to feel crushed. But, you can't move on, you just can't seem to stop loving them, so you keep trying to make them notice you, perhaps to even make them even feel the same way that you do about them.
But it always ends up the same way, over and over again. You just can't help but crave the desirer for them to notice you, to get a chance to be with them. That's how Minto felt it was with her and Zakuro. A heavy sigh escaped the Lorikeet's lips as she turned her hazel brown eyes to the table, on the magazine, which had some kind of model on the front of the cover. She then got to her feet and decided to have her daily cup of tea. It was almost time anyways. She could help the girls, but being the lazy girl she was; she didn't fancy it.
Arthur's Notes: Yeah I know, nothing interesting is going on right now. Sort of random, I suppose…Ah well. And sorry about not updating earlier.
