Kap 15
Miharu
Gary looked bothered, so I remained silent although I was very keen to know whom it was, but I pretended to now show it.
It was quiet and small space in here. I was sitting on this stool while Gary was standing; he was looking out at times. It probably past a few minutes and I got tired of sitting. So I stood up, Gary quickly looked back down at me, we were a few centimeters from each other and meeting his eyes made me somewhat embarrassed so I looked down. We stood like this for minutes, which was frustrating. I wanted to go out, since that person might not know who I am. So I took hold of Gary’s shoulders and was switching sides, he took hold of my waist, not knowing what was happening. I set my foot in front of his, allowing my knee to touch with his, Then I put all my weight on him and stepped in front of him. He kept his eyes on me but remained quiet until I pushed him down on the stool.
“That person might not know who I am…so I’m going out” I said.
Gary took hold of my wrist, “Stay” he said.
Looking down at him, his eyebrows were creased. I shook my head, “It’s suffocating in here! And I’ve got the other guys to fix too” I said, opening the curtain and closing them behind me.
I started walking past the counter until I listened to some people arguing, it was the counter-lady and a girl with super volume in her hair. Her hair was brown and fixed so beautifully, I was starting to compare hers to mine and sighed, all I can do is have two ponies. She was arguing with a counter-lady, both were talking about a price of something, maybe I could help?
“Hello” I said, standing beside her. She glanced at me and then back at the counter-lady.
“Need help with something?” I asked.
“Ah! This woman here. She is not giving me any discount prices even though it is written on the billboard,” she said, pointing at the billboard.
“That’s what I’m trying to explain to her! It’s starting from next month! It’s just an heads up for what to come”
“You are a good liar,” she said.
I looked at the billboard and it was actually written next month, I choked back a laugh.
“I assume that she can’t pay now since it would be unfair to the costumers, right?” I asked.
The counter-lady nodded, the girl sighed, “I will make sure to fire you,” she said.
“Let’s not go that far!” I mused, “If you come back next month…there might be a better quality out on this…” I checked out what she was buying, “…bra…” I mumbled.
She narrowed her eyes and then nodded, “That is smart,” she said
She then threw the bra at the counter-lady and started walking out of the mall until she stopped and glanced at me, “You helped me big time. I should give you my thanks, anything you want? Food? Cloths?” she asked.
I shook my head, “Nothing. Although, I’d like to know how you fix that hair of yours,” I asked.
“Ahh I get that a lot…come along and I’ll tell you the salon!” she said smiling.
I could go with her just for a few minutes, but then again you might not know, there priority comes first, I shook my head, “Maybe another time…I’m busy”
She frowned, “It’s not always I tell the salon, oh well, suit yourself” she said and went.
As soon as she left, Gary came running towards me, he spun me around and looked at me for some time, “What did she do to you?” he asked, worried.
“Ah…the girl just before? Nothing…I just helped her out in something…” I said.
Gary nodded then, “She looks like a brat,” he said laughing.
“Let’s go,” I said, and we were walking home.
“Err…I don’t like this” Gary said in a hard tone.
The beautiful player’s turn was now on. And we both left, but I was on my guard as always.
Ichigo
I went home exhausted of the badminton training. I was forced to leave earlier on the shopping trip because of badminton. But Miharu called me and Kokoro over since her father wasn’t bound to come home for a few loooong hours.
I bought a dress in secret and thought of wearing it at Miharu’s place. I went to shower and didn’t care about fixing my hair, since I was coming late. I felt so tired and I would probably just lie on her couch or something. My hair became curly then, I was always jealous of Miharu’s long hair, mine was short, up to my neck, but when it became my natural curly hair, it was up jaw.
I put on the black dress I bought. It had different designs stitched upon them over and over each other. It was up to my knees and it was glittering.
Miharu opened the door to her house and her smile became broader, “Ichi!!” she said.
I stepped in and found a lot of guys around here, “What the hell Miharu?” I mumbled towards her, still smiling.
“They all don’t have homes! They are nice, believe me…the one’s that came shopping with us, they are also homeless,” she explained.
I nodded and found …Punky! Punky was sitting and drinking ice-cold cola. He was sitting alone watching TV. I went towards him, leaving Miharu with the rest.
From the corner of my eyes, I found Kokoro running around the whole house with a guy after her. What the hell, I thought.
I sat next to Punky and he glanced coldly at me but it became warm when he realized it was I. “Ichigo!” he said.
“Hey there Punky!” I said laughing.
“How was the training?” he asked
“So tiring! I could sleep here,” I said.
He took hold of my shoulder and pulled me closer, my head fell automatically on his shoulder, “Then sleep, I’m here” he said.
With my reflex, I sat up again, “I can’t possibly fall asleep like that!”
He laughed, “I could”
“Really?” I asked.
I took hold of his shoulders and pulled him down so his head was laying on my thighs, he looked up with shocked eyes, “Wha-“
“Sleep” I said.
“I never said, I was sleepy” he mused.
“That’s true” I said and was about to push him away, “But I can lie like this” he said happily.
I had this sudden urge to knock his forehead with mine, and I did so. He looked at me with as if I was an idiot and I started to laugh.
