Chapter Four

"Tell him he can come… as long as he brings Kaito along with him too," Luka says with a sadistic grin on her face. What the heck has gotten into her?! I almost object, but then I realize what this would mean for Miku. Quite a birthday, huh? "Alright, Miku. Yup," Luka says. I lean in closer to her so I can hear too.
"I will, I guess," says a regretful Miku. I smirk.
"Great," Luka says deviously.
"Bye, Luka. See you later I guess," Miku drags on.
"Uh-huh," Luka chuckles. "Bye, Miku," she sings. She hangs up. I cover my ears, waiting for… Uh-oh. An ear-piercing scream rips through the air, crumbling my eardrums into useless piles of dust.
"Luka, really? With the scream?" I groan, rolling my eyes to the heavens. Gumi cautiously lifts her hands off her ears.
"I wasn't prepared," she whimpers, almost as if she's about to barf.
"Luka, you can be such a girl sometimes," I groan. "But that was a really great idea, with Kaito," I laugh, flicking her shoulder. "Sounds like something only I would do," I tease.
"I know," Luka says, staring emptily out of the window. Suddenly, she snaps out of her daze and turns the car off. "I have no idea what got into me…" she trails off. Gumi tilts her head, adjusting her nerdy pink goggles.
"Relax," I laugh, "It was funny!"
"I-I'm not so sure," Luka shrugs.
"Luka… Come on," Gumi says, "I know shopping will cheer you up!"
"We're not even shopping for me…" Luka counters. I roll my eyes.
"Well, shopping for you or for Miku, this is one of the rare occurrence's in which I don't mind it at all," I sing. Both Luka and Gumi's faces both brighten.
"Well, why didn't you say so earlier?" Luka laughs lightly, swinging open her door. How the heck did I even get stuck with friends like these?
