The next day at school we got a new student named Kai Sorotta. I wasn't really paying attention to what the teacher was saying... I was too busy watching this one girl in my class spinning her pen on her hand. I was in awe, wishing I could do that with my pen. I tried a few times, but failed miserably.
All of a sudden I heard the chair to the empty desk next mine pull out. I turned in that direction to see what was going on.
Sitting next to me was the cutest, no...hottest boy I'd ever seen! He had light brown hair that fell into his dark brown eyes slightly. (Um...about the length of Light from Death Note) He turned to me.
"Hey, I'm Kai Sorotta." he said smiling at me.
That smile dazzled me.
"Hi er uh... I'm uh...Chero! Chero Aoyama."
He laughed.
"Well Chero I hope we can become friends."
"Yeah... I uh would like that."
"GAH! What an idiot!" I scolded my self.
During class I formed a plan. I was going to ask him out! I would ask him if he needed to be shown around town. Yes.
The bell finally rang and class was over. I prepared myself to spring into action. He stood up and started to walk away.
"Uh... Um... Kai!" I shouted after him.
He turned to face me, but before I could speak again he was surrounded by a pack of girls.
My plan was a failure!!
After school I went to work at the café. I was sulking leaning against a broom.
"Chero? What's wrong?" Pepper asked me.
"Well, we got a new guy at our school who is really cute. I wanted to ask him out, but was nervous. When I finally worked up the courage to ask him, he was surrounded by girls. Most of which were much prettier than me..."
I sighed.
"Chero, we need you to take orders now." Keiichiro told me.
"Ok ." I said.
"What's wrong with her?" Kasa asked Pepper.
"Boy troubles."
"Ah..."
I put on my happy face and turned to face my next customer.
"Welcome to Café Mew Mew! I'll be your server today!"
"Chero?" my customer questioned.
I looked to see who my customer was. It was Kai!
"Oh, uh... Hey Kai! What are you doing here?"
"Some of the girls at school told me this was a great place to eat, so I decided to come here. What are you doing here?"
"I work here. So, uh have you decided what you want to order?"
"No, what do you suggest? Since you work here." he said raising an eyebrow.
"Uh...well all of the food here is great. Keiichiro is the greatest cook."
"Well, then I'll try the cheesecake."
"Coming right up."
I dashed away from the table to get to the kitchen where I collapsed on the floor.
"Chero? Are you ok?" Keiichiro asked.
"Yeah...I need one order of cheesecake..."
"You know that you can hand me the order through the window..."
"I was trying something new..."
Then Kasa walked in.
"Chero, I saw you run in here. You ok? Do you know that boy or something?"
Pepper then joined the party.
"Was that the boy you were talking about Chero?" Pepper asked.
I think I was blushing.
"Yeah... His name is Kai. I was going to ask him out, but was too slow..."
"He's cute!" Pepper said.
"Not just cute! He's hot!" Kasa exclaimed.
"You should ask him out now! It's your only chance!" Pepper said.
"But what if he rejects me?"
"He wont! You can do this Chero!"
"Go Chero!" Kasa encouraged.
I stood up and brushed off my uniform.
"Your order is ready Chero. I know you can do it. Good luck!" Keiichiro said with an encouraging wink.
I took the cheesecake from Keiichiro and headed back out to face Kai. I set the cheesecake slice in front of him.
"Here you go. Anything else?"
"No thank you."
"Ok. So...uh...Kai?"
"Yeah?"
"Uh...um...I know your new in town...so I was wondering...uh...I could show you around and uh..."
"Wow! This cheesecake is delicious!"
"Uh..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Please continue."
"Would you like to go out with me?!" I said loudly and kinda fast.
He dropped his fork on the table and looked at me. I could feel my face heating up, which meant it was turning red.
He smiled and said, "I'd love too."
"Well I'm sorry I bothered yo- What did you say?"
"I said that I would love to."
"Ok...Umm... how 'bout-"
"Saturday?"
"Ok. At-"
"7:30? I'll pick you up. What your phone number and address?"
He held up a piece of paper and a pencil. I took them from him and wrote down my phone number and address.
"I'll see you then." he told me.
I put his check on the table and told him where to pay and hurried off to the kitchen.
"How did it go?" Keiichiro asked.
"I have a date." I told him.
"Congra-"
"Chero!" Kasa and Pepper shouted running into the kitchen.
"How did it go?! Did you ask him? Did he say yes? Did he say no? Tell us everything!" Pepper and Kasa said throwing questions left and right.
"I asked him, and ...he said yes!" I told them.
"I knew it! Pay up Kasa!" Pepper said holding her hand out.
"Wha?! You thought he'd say no?!" questioned Kasa.
"Nooooo. I just thought you would chicken out."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence..."
So, I had a date for Saturday! ...I had a date! What was I going to wear?? I turned to Kasa and Pepper.
"You guys have to go shopping with me."
"Why?" Pepper asked.
"I have no idea what to wear and you two are going to help me."
"Ok."
"Perfect. You need my popstar sense of style." Kasa said grinning, "You need all the help you can get."
"I kno- HEY!"
