That Girl

Chapter 4

We'd spent the rest of the time in there talking, Ravi was extremely intrigued by me, but I honestly didn't know why. They had their food brought to my table, "So.. Arielle." I looked over to Ken, "Ne?" "Why were you all alone?" "Well," I paused to chew my food and I swallowed before speaking, "I only had enough money for me, My umma would have never been able to make the plane trip because she's had so many back surgeries, and I honestly would have brought my friends if I could have." I said sheepishly. Ravi put an arm around my shoulder, "I'm sorry about your umma.." He said quietly, "I-It's alright, my umma's a strong woman." I smiled at him. He straightened up, smiling back, abit stunned at my faith in her. "I'm glad you see it that way." N smiled at me, "Well her feet always feel like their on fire, and their numb, she can't drive much or sit or stand, but she still smiles and does things no matter the pain. That's way I say my umma's a strong woman."  I looked to N and smiled, "I take care of her even though she says I don't have to." "Is she divorced or something?" Ken asked, "Well, yea, but I have a step-father, and he's always working and my appa lives in a different state." I said calmly, still smiling. They all looked at me before saying, "Omo, your such a strong and sweet girl." I turned bright red in embarrassment, "G-Gomwao." Ravi smiled down at me, "So what tickets do you have?" I looked at him, then pulled my bag into my lap to look for the tickets, I couldn't find them so I had to pull out my drawing book and lay it on the table, I soon regreted it and Ravi opened it and started skimming the pages I'd drawn on. 'Omo!' I tried to reach for it, but he patted my hand away, "Search for the tickets, I'm just looking." I bit my lip softly, so I wouldn't hurt it again and pouted as I continued looking, "Omo," I looked up to see all three of them admiring one of my pictures, "B-Bwo?" I asked wondering which picture it was. I looked and felt like crawling in a hole because it's the one I drew of them. "O-oh." I whispered and they all looked up and over to me and I shrunk slightly, "This is amazing." Ravi stated, and N and Ken nodded in agreement, "This looks exactly like me!" He pointed to himself, making me turn a bright red, "Which one is the one, that's more visible, hold me back?" He asked, "K-Ken." I stuttered slightly. They all let out an, "Ohhh." As they looked back at the paper. Ravi closed the book and looked at the cover that read, 'Property of Arielle Grace Lakey: Drawing Book #20' "Omo, twenty?" Ravi looked over to me and I nodded shyly, "N-ne, drawing's m-my hobby." "What do you plan to be when you get older?" N asked curiously, "I- uh.. A tattoo artist." I said shyly, they all nodded approvingly. I smiled alittle and pulled out the tickets I'd finally found. "I got a backstage pass, and a mid-section ticket to see ya'll tomorrow." I said happily. All three of them grinned, "Why not front row?" "W-well, I wanted to have enough money to buy some stuff while I was hear, like clothes and merch." I said shrugging. "Ohhh." He said. After that we all payed for our food and we walked out, "U-Um, I should get going to my hotel-" "Why not hang with us for awhile?" Ravi asked looked down at me smiling, omo he was so tall. I shrunk slightly, "A-Are you sure?" I asked. They all nodded approvingly, "O-Okay." I smiled. This was the best night ever. We went to a candy shop and I got to try Banana Milk and Pumpkin Taffy and they were both extremely good, especially since Ravi, every five minutes, would take the liberty of feeding one to me, I never found out why. After that they took me to a small store that Ravi said he usually buys some of his clothes. They had such pretty girl clothes, but they also had amazing guy clothes. I literally wanted to buy the entire store, "Omo~!" I said seeing this really pretty black skirt with netted lace on the ends, "You would look good in that." Ravi whispered in my ear, making me jump, "R-Ravi! Don't scare me like that!" I wacked his arm slightly and he laughed in response. I was blushing from ear to ear and I grabbed the skirt, sticking my tongue out at him, "I'm going to atleast try it on first." I went to the dressing room and tried it on, "Come out! I wanna see if I was right or not!" I heard Ravi's voice. I sighed rolling my eyes and I walked out shyly, tugging the skirt down since it was sort of short. I looked up from under my hair to see Ravi smiling, looking me up and down, and N and Ken nodding approvingly. I fittled with my nails shyly and thanked their opinion before going back in and changing. I walked back out and to the guys, who were at the shirts. Ravi turned to me with something behind his back, "B-Bwo?" I asked confused, the other two were smiling brightly, "I found something for you." He said smiling, and I watched as he pulled out a large, pastel pink, sweater crop-top. I blushed, "O-Omo, I-I don't know." I said nervously, earning a puppy dog face from all three of them. I sighed defeated, "Alright, alright." I said taking the shirt and walking back to the dressing rooms. I put it on and blushed, it was big enough to cover a lot of my stomach, but still showed some, and it hung off my shoulders. "O-Omo.." I whispered to myself, "Oi, Arielle!" I sighed walking out, embarrassed. I looked to see Ravi beaming with happiness and the other two impressed that he could pick out clothes. I smiled alittle, I liked the shirt, and I really liked Ravi smiling like that so I agreed to buy the shirt and skirt, but I also bought a big, guy's, long sleeve Naruto leaf village shirt that I had plans for later. I grinned happily as we walked out and I felt a hand mess with a strand of my hair, "I like your hair." Ravi said standing next to me, "G-Gomwao." I said shyly. He smiled and nodded, "I like that shade of pink." I grinned and giggled slightly. He grinned even more, "So how about I pick you up tomorrow morning and you hang out with us until the concert?" I looked at him and blushed hard, "Y-You sure?" I asked. He nodded, "You should meet the other three." "I wouldn't mind." Ken said and N nodded in agreement. I smiled, "Ok."
