Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta I

Panna cottas are sweet. It explodes in my mouth and dances gracefully inside. The sugar, cream, the strawberry! Oh, such connoisseurs of life!

Pen, how is it? Asked Ms. Kenna, the waitress of the pastry café - Spice Delights.

Delicate as always, Ms. Kenna. I replied in a complimenting way.

That's good. Come back again soon Pen...

Alright, I always do. I waved my hand and exit the café.

I wonder what my friends will do to me today. Maybe they'll give me iced tea, it's very salty. Maybe a candy, it made me vomit and sent to the clinic. Or maybe even a sandwich with bitter ketchup and thick pink patty!

Hey ball pen! Get over here or I'll beat you!

Oh it's Coco again. She's the best friend ever. She beats even the boys. I remember how she punched the smartest boy in school. She said he's dumb and stubborn because he didn't fight with her.

I'm coming! I exclaimed, loud enough for everyone to hear.
I ran towards her and when I reached her, she slapped me hard in the face.

That's a compliment. She says.

It hurt. Very much. I can feel the pain on my cheeks. But even though, I'm still grateful. They're my friends, and I treasure them.

Coco held me by the nape of my neck, strands of hair fell from my ponytail. She scratched the back of her hand because of it. Soon we reached Hazel and Phea.

Hey you! Penny Board! Ever wonder why your bag's so light?

Coco let go of me as I turned and checked my bag.

It's open. My wallet is missing. My student pass is gone. Nice joke everyone....

Haha! You did a great job on the prank. Can you give them back to me now? I pleaded.

Only if you win in our game! Hazel shouted as if announcing it to everybody in the open space.

Play catch! Phea suddenly screamed.

I got ready and positioned. I have forgotten not to run or sweat myself because of lung issues. But I still played.

This is gonna be fun.

A crowd gather around and surround us.

First Hazel shows me my wallet and Phea has my pass. Phea threw it and I jumped trying to catch it but instead Coco caught it. I ran to Phea and tried to take it away from her.

Get away! She shrieked in my ear and pushed me down to the ground.

Ah! Ow... My sight became blurry...

I saw a guy held on Phea's arms and pushed her gently together with taking my pass away from her.

What is this guy .... Doing?

He knelt down and shook my shoulders.

Hey miss, miss! Tsk. She's in another world.

He put his arms on the back of my knee and on my back and carried me to the clinic.

Wait... My friends... They're... I have to go with them...

You idiot. That guy suddenly stated.
