"What!" she snapped.
At the door was Salima. "Mariam! What are you doing to yourself!" Salima gasped. All the bluenette did was shrug and tried to shut the door. But Salima put her foot in the way. "Mariam! I told him!"
Mariam opened the door a little wider. "Who?"
"Kai! I told him!"
"Told him what?"
"Your long crush on him since we were all teens!"
Mariam disappeared behind the door. She bit her lip. 'My crush! Why? WHy did she do that! I can't believe I call her my best friend!' she thought. "Mariam? What's wrong are you okay?" Salima asked.
"Why did you tell him? Why Salima! Why!" she cryed shooting the door open and stared her friend in the eyes. "Why?" she asked as tears flowed down her face again.
"It was a secret Salima, I don't care if he likes Julia, they make a great couple and I just wish I could just forget about him! Besides...I know he doesn't like me, it's oveious(sp)," she cryed. Salima frowned hearing this. "I'm sorry Mariam...I thought you wanted me to, I'm really sorry," she apoligized. No answer came from the bluenette from behind the door. "Okay...bye then, see you tomorrow," and with that Salima left.
Then before Mariam knew it the phone started to ring. Mariam didn't want to answer it, she probably thought it was Salima calling from her cell phone to apoligized. But the her answering machine came on.
(Hi you've reach Mariam Ten...I am either not home, blading, or doing work...Please leave you name and I'll try and get back at you as soon as possible, thank you)
Mariam listened to a long pause before a voice came on. No! It was not Salima, or her parents, or her younger brother Joseph. But it was...
'Hey Mariam, I't me Kai Hiwatari, I was just hoping you would pick up the phone so we could talk...Mariam? You there?'
The the sound of the phone hung up. Mariam then fell to the ground and looked at the message machine. It started to plin (01) over and over again. 'He knows! He knows!' she thought. 'I can tell in his voice!'
The next morning at work she saw a note on her table written in beautiful clean hand writting. 'Kai!' she thought.
She walked over and picked it up and started to read it.
'This is Kai Hiwatari writting this,
I just wanted to say that you won't be takeing care of Crii today. Julia offered yesterday and I thought you might need a break.'
But then a whole bunch of sentences were scratched out and she read the rest.
'And I want to say thanks for finding my old white scarf, it's been a while since I wore this, and I decieded to stop by the shop to say hi. And I was think told at lunch time, would you like to come and visit my friend who's wife just had a baby, I thought maybe Ray would like to see well, my family. And I just wanted to say that I also love you.
Love, Kai Hiwatari'
Mariam stood there speechless, scared and just let the note slip out of her hands. 'I'm in Kai's family?' she thought as a smile approached her face. She just couldn't believe this!
(With Kai and Crii)
Kai walked into Julia's office to see that her name tag was changed, instead of (Miss. Julia Banks) it said (Mrs. Julia Volcav) 'What the!' he thought.
"Kai! Your here! oh! you noticed my name tag! Yep Tala and I are engaged...I hope that's okay with you...I'm sorry he and I liked eachother for a long time, and I'm sorry it didn't work between us, I'm really sorry," Julia said.
"Wait...oh nevermind, I just wanted to just say that I already liked someone so it's fine," kai said, "and if you don't mind, I think Mariam will be watching Crii today."
"It's fine Kai, nice seeing you, and I hope to see you again."
Kai waved good bye and left for the elevator.
