Chihiro went into the back room of the cafe to change into her spare uniform, a million things running through her mind.

How did Haku come to her world?
Was he really here?
He had to be Mrs Timmons could see him, but Mrs Timmons claimed she could see spirits.
Why did he decide now was a good time?
What did Haku want to talk about?

"Chihiro hussle lil lady we have customers." Mrs Timmons calls for her

"Okay." Chihiro called back as she finished tying her apron.

Chihiro hurried out into the front of the cafe to see a few people from her graduating class, she kinda knew them from having classes with them but that was the extent of it.

"Oh hey Chihiro." One of the girls greeted her

"Good afternoon what can I get you guys?" Chihiro asks

"Don't you need a pen and paper?" One of the boys asks

"I'm good." Chihiro nods, being forgetful most of her young life Chihiro made it a point to improve her memory skills as she got older.

"Chihiro's great I was here the other day and my order was perfect." One of the girls smiles

"Thank you." Chihiro smiles fighting the urge to fidget with her hair, Chihiro didn't see Haku anywhere and was wanting to look around for him.

"I'll dry that for ya honey."

Chihiro could hear Mrs Timmons tell someone
She glanced over to see Haku standing with Mrs Timmons behind the pastry counter. Mrs Timmons must of meant his kimono.
Chihiro couldn't keep her eyes off him, she'd never seen Haku in regular clothes before and he'd pulled back his greenish black hair showing off his sculptured jaw and strong neck.

"Oh my goodness does he work here too?"
"I hope so, I want him to take my order."

Two of Chihiro's classmates giggle bringing her to back to earth.

"I'll take your guys order if you're ready." Chihiro says trying to focus

Haku started walking towards Chihiro and the customers, Chihiro watched as the two girls swooned.

"I'll be over here, okay?" Haku put a hand on Chihiro's shoulder sending chills through her as he pointed to a table in the back of the cafe.

"Oh okay." Chihiro nods

"Do you know him?" One of her girl classmates asks

"Yeah he's um...""Your boyfriend?" The other girl teases

Chihiro felt her cheeks burn and her shoulders tense. Chihiro felt a little better that other people could see Haku too but Chihiro hadn't anticipated how other girls would react to Haku.

"Well is he?"

"We've ummm he's a close childhood friend." Chihiro says she wanted Haku to be her boyfriend but didn't know how to go about telling him how she felt.
Chihiro had completely ignored the boys at her school meaning she lacked any knowledge of the opposite sex except that they had different reproductive organs and were bigger and louder than her gender.

"So he's single?" One Chihiro's classmates giggles

"Oh geez can we order please." The boy in the group complains

Chihiro sighed in relief she didn't want to talk to these girls about wether Haku was her boyfriend or not Chihiro hadn't even had that conversation with him.

Several minutes passed and Chihiro brought out the food for her old classmates and made a beeline for Haku who was staring out the window watching droplets of rain.
It had started on calm down outside but the rain was still coming down.
