The Lion And The Lamb
chapter 9
"good afternoon sir! what can I get you?" my smile seemed to lighten his mood up and he gave me a small smile.
"I was hesitating in coming here but seems like I made the right decision. Such a bright child" I smiled in gratitude and wrote down his orders.
You guessed it right.. I'm currently working at a little café called Alice Bite. It's been a week since I start working here. Luna took me here got me a job. Amazing right?
It is on one side... it makes me forget younchi and natsume. Yes, it's been a whole week since I saw or talked to them. Natsume didn't really come to school and when he came he didn't look at me at all. It kind of made me depressive.
Younchi tried his hardest to not talk to me or look at me but failed miserably. His friends glared at me like every time. I thought they like me but I was completely wrong.
I speak to matty once in a few days... I think younchi is the cause of that. I am just glad I have anna, nonoko, yuu and luna.
Anna works as a assistant chef and me, nonoko and luna are waitresses. It's really fun and our boss is super nice and really cute! He's in his mid twenties and looks super hot with his brown locks and blue eyes.
Anna made the order and handed it to me. I walked up to the man and gave him his order. "enjoy your meal sir!" he smiled thankfully and began eating.
"mikan-chan! You can take a break!" anna yelled from the kitchen. I looked around, it wasn't crowed at all. Only a couple, the man and a family.
I took of the apron and went to the back to eat something and while I just finished eating luna came in panting. "miki, I am so sorry! But it's suddenly super crowed... can you help?" luna looked quite annoyed actually. I wonder what happened? Ah well, got back to work right?
When I walked through the doors my feet stopped. It was super crowed... and not because people wanted to order.. no, it was crowed because younchi and natsume were both here with their groups and of course the stupid fan girls followed.
"w-what the hell" I was left speechless. I haven't spoken to them in a week and now they were both here. Then again they looked just as speechless as me.
"I know right... ugh, it irritates me so much" luna hissed next to me as I nodded dumbly. "so who's gonna take their orders?" I looked at her as she just shrugged.
"I ain't going near natsume's group and neither am I going to mochu" oh I forgot to tell you, mochu broke up with luna. The poor girl was devastated. She even stayed at my place for a few days.
He broke up with her because apparently someone saw us at black moon... I personally think it's the lamest excuse to break up with someone. He broke her little heart but luna acts as if she doesn't care. She's pretty strong. I admire it a lot.
"send nonoko" luna nodded and whispered in nonoko's ear. She gleamed happily and walked over to them immediately. Luna sighed as so did I.
"say, how did we end up in this mess?" I shrugged my shoulders. I seriously had no freaking idea. We both walked to different tables and got the orders.
I felt natsume and younchi both follow my every step. I mean seriously! How am I supposed to work? I felt someone tug my leg and I snapped away from my angry thoughts.
"nee-chan! Can I get a ice cream?" I crouched down and smiled at the little girl. She reminded me so much of me when I was younger. A little boy who looked older than the girl came towards us.
"sana! I told you I was getting you the ice cream!" the boy scolded as I felt a smile lit my face. How cute, the boy cares so much for his little sister.
"how about I get you both a ice cream?" the boy looked suspiciously at me but still nodded. "wait for a second okay?" I walked to the kitchen and grabbed two ice cream cones from the freezer as anna looked at me curiously. "little kids" she smiled knowingly as I walked back and gave them both the ice cream.
"thank you so much!" they both walked back to their parents with the boy holding the hand of his little sister.
"mikan hold my hand... you will get lost" tsubasa said as he grabbed his little sisters hand gently and tugged her with him. Mikan licked her ice cream happily.
"I love nii-san!"
My smile faltered as I recalled memories. Stop thinking about the past Mikan. I shook my head lightly, shaking the thoughts away and walked towards Nonoko.
"Mikan can you pretty please give this to Natsume?" I looked at his order which was a strawberry ice cream with crimson liquid. I think it is dark strawberry sauce.
How ironic.
"fine" I huffed in annoyance and walked up to his table. I didn't feel like giving him or any of his friends a smile at all so I just placed down the plate and WANTED to walked away.
But apparently I have bad luck. " why don't we get a smile?" Ruka asked gently. I remembered him. "sorry" I faked a smile and was about to walk away again.
I still have bad luck. "you should great your customers with smile you know" Natsume commented as I tried my hardest to not glare at him. I bend down a little and smiled... fake of course.
"enjoy your meal sir! I hope you never come back again!" I regained my posture and walked up to nonoko who obviously was looking curiously at me. Fuck you.
"now happy?" she rolled her eyes, sensing my annoyance for natsume's group. "whatever, younchi is asking for you" I looked towards him with a arched eyebrow.
"tell him, I don't talk to strangers" I think he obviously heard me because he was trying really hard to not kill anyone now and his glare was currently directed at natsume.
Whatever, they can solve it on their own.
"you alright?" luna came beside me as we both took a place to sit. We had to sent away those who weren't eating. So it wasn't as crowed as before. We finally had time to breath. I saw how mochu gave her glances… heck both groups were looking at us. Some with curiosity, other with anger and some even with lust. Oh please, I just didn't saw that.
Go away bad looks! I divided my attention back at luna. "I'm missing my mom" she smiled sadly at me and took my hand. "I think she misses you too" she squeezed my hand.
"you have any brothers or sisters?" I felt eyes in my back. "nope... all alone". I forgot all about it! This whole week I came up with a theory.
What if my brother wasn't dead but turned into a vampire? I know, crazy right? I just want my brother back... my brain is getting supernaturallish.
The same time me phone rang and I took the call. "mikan speaking" on the other end I heard someone panting really hard... pretty creepy actually.
"mikan? It's me shelly" I smiled and mouthed 'friend' to luna as she nodded in response. "hey shelly! I really really miss you guys! So what's up?" she stayed really quiet. A little to quiet. I felt my heart slow down every beat.
"shell?" finally she spoke. "mikan, it's your mother... you have to come back" that's all what I wanted to hear. I didn't cry like girls normally did. I didn't get emotional at all.
All I thought at the moment was... "I'm taking the first flight back" ... I had to go back. Luna looked at me curiously.
"I'm going to Miami" she gaped at me in response, I mean I did say it totally random. "the one week free is next week" too far away. "I have to go...it's my mom" she nodded as we both stood up. I excused myself from work and didn't even bother looking at natsume or younchi.
I walked out with my jacket in one hand and my phone in the other. I decided to book online tickets for tonight. I wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Fuck school or this town. I didn't care really. I just wanted to go back.
"mikan wait!" luna came behind me still wearing her uniform like me, which earned us perverts. "I'm coming with you" no, she can't do that! What about school?
"no luna, you still have classes" she flipped her curls and grabbed my phone. "I want to go with you... that's final" she booked our tickets and gave me back my phone.
Right at this moment I am glad I met her. She's probably the best kind of friend I will ever have. "you know, you just hurt natsume and younchi's pride by walking away without saying goodbye. They looked really worried" just when I thought they didn't care.
We both got home and I said to her to meet at my place. My dad wasn't home as usual. So I just went with the 'sticky note' letter and wrote that I would be back in two weeks.
Maybe more but if I said that he would be hurt. I grabbed my clothes and stuffed them in a suitcase. Not to big since I have clothes back in Miami but not to small either.
Suddenly when I looked in the mirror the photo frame I carried in my hands slipped.
There he was standing in my room, behind me. My look-a -like brother...
But somehow I felt I was going to find the truth behind him... and it gave me a really bad feeling.
finished! i hope you liked it, i already finished the next one! loveyouguysss x
