CHAPTER 4: CONFESSIONS

By Taryn Burt

She grinned as her best friend unloaded her box of American things. "Who are they?" Sakura glanced at what Madison held and her grin grew broader

"That's a poster of the 'coolest' American band. They're O.K. I guess." Madison put down the poster and picked up a picture of a woman their age.

"Who is this?"

"That's Taryn *^.^ I just had to put my self in... Even though I'm not 22. * my neighbor. She's my second best friend."

"Who's your first?"

"U of course."

"Aw. Thanks." A thought came to Madison and her grin went away. "Sakura we need to talk."

"What about?" She sat down on the violet couch and patted the cushion next to her in invitation to Madison. "Sit down." Madison sat and slowly began.

"I'm engaged."

"Oh my god! When's the wedding?"

"You don't under stand. My fiancée is different from others." Madison was obviously struggling w/ what she wanted to say.

"I'm sure nothings wrong w/HER."

"Oh she's great, it's just" Madison gaped at Sakura. "H-how'd u know?"

"I think I know my own best friend."

"Wow! Cool! Wait do u mind?"

"About the girl?"

"Yeaned

"Of course not! She's welcome any time. What's her name?"

"April."

"April What?"

"April Ryan."

"She doesn't sound Japanese."

"She's not. She's French."

"Awesome. I can use her to work on my French."

"Huh?"

"I minored in universal languages. A few are: Japanese *^.^*, American, Spanish & French."

"Can u teach me?"

"U mean ur engaged to a French girl and u don't know French!?!"

"She said she'd teach me after we were married."

"When ARE u getting married?"

"Next month."

"NEXT MONTH!!!!!! U have so much planning to do."

"I can handle it."

"I know you can. Hey, when can I meet April?"

"At the party."

"Cool!" Then they sat off planning for Sakura's party.
