"Mine" (Pico x Keith story)

Chapter 2

Cherry POV
I slowly opened my eyes. I stretched to get the sleepies out of me. I sat up and glanced at my phone. I reached over and picked it up. I checked my socials before getting out of bed and getting ready for the day.

After taking a cold shower, I rushed to the closet. I decided wether to wear something causal, or fancy. I picked up a red cropped sweater and a black plaid skirt. This should do.

Once I got all ready I headed down stairs. "Good morning! How did you sleep? How you hungry? Do you want breakfast? Do y-" She started, making me flinch a bit. "Mom, please, slow down." I said, rubbing my eyes. My mom stopped. She giggled a bit before talking.

"My bad, dear. Have you talked with Keith yet? What did he say?" She brought up, making me a bit anxious.

"I haven't quite talked with him yet. Sorry." I said, looking off to the side. "That's fine, honey. But you should probably do it soon." My dad blurted out. I nodded in response.

Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate inside of my pocket. I took it out and saw I got a message from Keith. I sat down on the couch and opened it up.

CONVERSATION

K: Hey Cherry! Do you wanna hang out today? I had fun yesterday and it's more cooler now.

C: Sure. Do you wanna meet up at the park again?

K: Yup.

C: Ok, I'll be there in about 15 minutes.

K: Sounds good.

END OF CONVERSATION

After that, I set my phone back into my pocket then walked into the kitchen. I opened the cupboard and pulled out a box of cereal to eat before leaving. Once I was done, I put my dish into the sink and washed it off.

I walked over to the closet and put on red and white sneakers. I picked up my keys and rushed out the door, forgetting to say goodbye to my parents.

Keith POV
I was sitting down on a nearby bench, waiting for Cherry. I was still a bit curios on why she was acting strange yesterday. I tried to shake it off but I couldn't get it off my chest.

Maybe this could be my chance to find out. After a couple minutes, I looked up and saw Cherry in the near distance, walking up to me. I smiled and waved. She sat down next to me.

"Hey Keith." She looked over at me with a small smile. "Hey!" There was a long, awkward pause.

"What do you wanna do?" She asked, scratching the top of her head. I glanced around then spotted a cafe. "We could get a drink." I said, looking back at her. She nodded. I got off the bench and started towards the building.

Cherry POV
I'm going to have to talk to him at some point. I'm going to need to figure out how, and where, and at the right time. I continued to follow him, starting to space out.

"Here we are!" I stopped, nearly walking into Keith. "Come on, let's go inside." He said, grabbing my hand and walking inside the cafe.

I immediately smelled coffee and sweet pastries. I glanced around. It wasn't too crowded, which was nice. He glanced up at the menu then at me. "What do ya want?" He asked.

I studied the menu. "I'll just have an iced caramel coffee." Keith smiled. "Okay!" I tried to offer to pay, but he refused.

Once we got our drinks, we went outside. Keith ended up getting a hot coffee with a hint of blueberry flavor. I was honestly not surprised, but hot coffee when it's 60 degrees? Sorta weird but I'm not one to judge.

We sat back down on the bench. I took a sip of my coffee then looked over at Keith. I glanced around. Nobody seemed to be nearby. Maybe this is the time I could tell him.
