The Lone Wolf
Chapter 2: Advice
The four girls stared after her, shocked. Mint recovered first,"Guys...I'll be back." She ran off after Zakuro.
'Oh, where is she?!', Mint thought in frustration,'What's with her today?!' She(Mint) had wandered into the small park down the street from the café,"I wonder why she ran off like that?", Mint thought outloud.
Suddenly, she spotted her friend sitting on a bench facing the pond. Mint heard a sniffle,'Is she crying?!', Mint came up behind her,"Zakuro, what's wrong?", she asked in alarm.
Zakuro quickly wiped her eyes with her hand. She hugged her knees to her chest,"Nothing. It's nothing."
"Zakuro. You're crying. You never cry. I want to know what in this world and the next made you cry.", Mint stated, sitting down next to her wolven friend.
"Well...It's just...I...I can't help but think that I'll never find love!" Her words rang in Mint's ears.
"I mean, just because of my status, people try to be with me so they look good. And I only have a few good friends because I knew them before I was modeling and I trust them.", Zakuro stopped to sniff. There was a long pause.
"Zakuro, you'll find someone. You just probably haven't met them yet. Or you have met them and just don't know it.", Mint said comfortingly.
Zakuro let slip a small smile,"Thanks, Mint. You just helped me realize something.", Zakuro leaned over and kissed Mint. Mint looked at her in shock, then her expression softened. She hugged Zakuro.
"Do you think you're ready to go back to the café?", Mint asked.
"Yeah.", she replied, wiping her eyes,"Let's go." They got up and started walking back to the café, hand in hand, in the afternoon light.
