Ch. 35
A week had passed since that memorable first day. Today, we were going to a strip mall as a group. Nemu was hyper as usual. However, I had to fight off the yawn attempting to break it's way out onto my face. I had spent another late night working on my Cobalt Program. Of course, any mention of this to Nemu would result in a very painful slap. However, the sound of voices knocked me out of my revere.
"Oi! Nemu! Neko! Over here!" shouted a girl. As we approached, I could identify the girl as Shiba, with Nao by her side.
"Hi Ren, Naomi." said Nemu in response. While Nemu used their first names, I used their last. This was something that irked the girls, but I refused to use their first for attempting to maintain a subnormal face in society. Having only three friends, all of them girls, and calling them all by their first names could cause issues. So, I stood my ground on this topic. However, they refused to call me by my last name, rather, they called me by my nickname.
"Hey can we go to the new shop first?" asked Shiba. The shop she was referring to was a cosmetics shop that had opened last week. I audibly groaned. For this, I was immediately yanked forward and into the shop by Nemu. The girls then spent the next four hours in the SAME DAMN SHOP. I don't think I have ever wanted to run away as much as I did then. And then, low and behold, because I was so tired and bored, I fell asleep. I wished I hadn't. Because, when I awoke, I think my ears were blasted off by a nuclear Nemu. Crap.
Author's Note: ... I don't really know what to say ... I guess sorry to start off? Ok, long story short life got busy and I forgot about this story. Then, I started high school. THAT was a completely new can of worms to deal with. So ya, I forgot. Again, sorry. Hopefully I will be able to start posting again, but the pace is going to fluctuate a lot. Sometimes it will be daily, others weekly. Just depends on how life is treating me. Anyway, I hope you still enjoy this story, and thanks for reading.
