Rin reached over for the ice cream that the waitress was holding. She grabbed it and nicely set it on the table in front of her. White and pink ice cream was piled in a tall glass, and whipped cream was twirled on top. Kaito took his ice cream from the waitress and put it down in front of himself. His ice cream was in a long, sort of oval-shaped bowl. Blue ice cream was stacked in the bowl, and sprinkles and chocolate chips were decorated on top. There was whipped cream in random spots of the ice cream and a pocky sticking out of the side of a pile.
The waitress smiled and walked away after Kaito and Rin thanked her. Kaito picked up his spoon and looked down at his ice cream, grinning. Rin licked her lips as she examined the ice cream. The ice cream parlour they were at was the best in town, so Rin was very excited that Kaito took her there. Good ice cream didn't come at a low price, but Kaito didn't seem to mind. Rin dunked her spoon into a pile of pink ice cream and scooped out a big mouthful of ice cream. She shoved it in her mouth and felt the freezing cold ice cream melt slowly as her tongue pushed the ice cream down her throat.
"How's your ice cream, Rin-chan?" Kaito asked her after he had just swallowed a big mouthful of ice cream.
"It's very good!" Rin smiled at him.
Rin watched Kaito eat his ice cream. She had warm, fuzzy feelings inside of her. His passion for ice cream was adorable in Rin's eyes.
Kaito stopped eating for a moment and looked up at Rin, "Well, I brought you here to...discuss something with you."
Rin tilted her head slightly, "Oh. Okay, Kaito-kun."
Kaito cleared his throat, "Well, the end of the school year is coming, huh?"
"Yes, it is! I'm so excited for summer!"
"Me, too. Well, about that..."
"We're going to have so much fun together! There's so much to do, Kaito-kun, and we can do it together!"
"...I'm sorry, Rin-chan." Kaito let out a sigh.
Rin stopped smiling and just stared at him with wide eyes. She had no idea why he was apologizing.
"I-is something wrong, K-Kaito-kun?" Rin said softly.
Kaito wasn't smiling at her anymore. Not even close. He just stared at her. Rin looked horribly confused and a bit worried.
"I...won't be here this summer." Kaito told her.
"Wh-why?" Rin gasped, obviously stunned.
"Well, I was accepted into college. I have to go to school for...a long time." Kaito responded.
"But...why can't you stay?" Rin started to cry.
Kaito reached over the small table and wiped under her eye with his thumb, "Please don't cry, Rin-chan. This is a hard thing to do."
"Kaito-kun...I don't want you to leave!" Rin whimpered. Her bottom lip quivered as more and more tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Rin-chan. I wish I could stay with you, too." Kaito smiled slightly, "But, hey! It won't be for too long! I'll be back before you know it!"
Rin nodded as she looked down at her feet. Her blue eyes were teary and sad-looking. Kaito backed into his seat and picked up his spoon. Kaito just looked at Rin who was sobbing quietly.
Kaito slammed his spoon into Rin's ice cream, "YAAAAH!"
Rin looked up at Kaito, "Hm?"
"You'd better eat your ice cream or else I will!" Kaito said as he winked at her.
Rin didn't seem to react very much. Kaito grabbed her bowl and started dragging it over closer to him.
"Hey!" Rin laughed as she reached over for her ice cream.
Kaito pulled out his spoon and tasted some of the ice cream on it. He laughed and pushed it back over to her, "Eat up, Rin-chan!"
Rin grabbed her bowl and pulled it in front of her. Her eyes remained on Kaito. She was smiling, but she was miserable inside. Kaito was leaving her. When Kaito looked away, Rin frowned again.
(Scene change)
"Psst! Rin-chan!"
Rin turned around in her seat to face Len.
"School is almost over! W-we should go swimming together very soon!" Len smiled.
"No, I don't want to." Rin replied glumly as she turned back around.
Len sat there, embarrassed. Yet, through his embarrassment, he wondered what was troubling Rin. The curiosity was too much, so he poked her shoulder. Rin turned around once again.
"Is something wrong?"
"No! It's none of your business! Why don't you leave me alone?" Rin shouted.
At that, Rin turned around again, and Len was even more embarrassed.
(Time skip)
School had finally ended, and Rin was the very first person to leave. She was headed for Kaito's school. Len collected his things and left the school.
Len was walking home by himself, just thinking. He often wondered why Rin was always so rude to him. Len smiled to himself when he remembered a magazine he read. It said 'If a boy is rude to you or insults you, he secretly likes you!' Len kind of frowned when he remembered it was a magazine for girls, but he shrugged it off. It still counts for both genders, doesn't it? Len continued thinking. If Rin is so rude to him because she secretly likes him, then shouldn't Len tell her that he likes her, too? Len smiled and giggled to himself. Telling Rin his feelings would get everything out of the way! Len opened his front door and walked in. Tomorrow...Len will confess his true feelings for Rin! He slammed the door behind him.
