Genta
Genta thought of himself as the leader. Was he really the leader of the Shonen Tantei Dan? No; the group always looked up to Conan for what to do. Ayumi sometimes, as well. She was cute and sweet, and all the boys respected her. Conan was smart and strong and unusual. Even Mitsuhiko could charm adults with his mature attitude and logic. But what did Genta having going for him? Nothing.
Presently, Genta was eating ice cream. Strawberry, two scoops, on a cone, with a waterfall of fudge cascading down it; just the way Genta liked it.
Genta was very down, and drowning his sorrows his food—like he always did. But this time he was drowning in sweets.
"Genta?" his mother asked as he bit into his cone—his third cone, to be exact. "Are you upset?"
Genta nodded and took another bite.
"What's wrong?"
"No one likes me," he complained. "Everyone's more popular then me!"
His mother frowned as he grabbed a Popsicle from the freezer. (By now they were out of cones.)
"I don't see why they don't like me," Genta continued. "I mean, I'm nice, aren't I? Fun, aren't I? I mean—ugh, it's just not fair!"
The frown on his mother's face deepened as Genta bit into the fruit pop.
Genta plopped down on a kitchen chair, chomping moodily. Chomp, chomp. Lick, lick, chomp, lick, and chomp. The Popsicle was gone and Genta threw the Popsicle stick across the room. It landed next to the trash can. He pushed off of the chair and stamped over and tossed it in. Then he stomped over to the fridge and pulled the stool over from where it had been pushed against the counter. He stood on it and threw open the freezer and got another Popsicle.
"Genta…" his mom started. The doorbell rang. His mother opened it. The Shonen Tantei Dan stood in the doorway. Genta flew towards them, anger forgotten, and a frozen treat for each member in his hands. Then they flew off to the park, planning their next adventure.
Genta's mother shook her head.
0.0 this one was hard to write! Genta's hard to do. I couldn't get enough words, then I had too much! Ugh! But here it is anyway :)
