Kalma

Friends

As the cuckoo called the morning, a young woman named Yamato fell asleep in her mini studio. She's still asleep when her butler, Jeffrey-san, woke her up to remind her to go to school. As Jeffrey saw her still in her dreams, he saw the monitor that is full of album covers.

She was falling asleep trying to enjoy music. What a rare sight, he thought. He could've sworn he saw flashes of smile in her sleep. But, school day is still school day.

"Master Yamato, please wake up. You're going to be late for school."
"Zzzzzz"
"Master Yamato."
"Hmmm??"
"Good morning."
"Ohh, Jackie. Good morning. Is today sunday? Hahaha hoam"
"Unfortunately, no Master."

Then the young girl prepared herself to go to school, and met her friends to enjoy their day together.

When the lunch bell rang, Yamato, Kentarou, and Akira immediately went to the canteen to eat together. They are still talking about the performance next sunday, and were interrupted by Kentarou's friend, Jun.

"Hey guys! How you doin? And especially,"
Jun looked towards Yamato.
"How you doin'?" Ala Joey style.
"Hahaha that's from Friends right? Nice Bro! A good way to catch the girls!" Yamato replied cheerfully.

"Yeah, I wish." Jun smiled tearfully and looked at Kentarou with a really sad face. He whispered, "what have I done?"

"Hahahaha, I don't know."
"Come on Jun-kun! Eat with us!" Akira mentioned.
"Yeah!"

The four of them eat their lunch together, not without anyone other to join. Not without a certain shy girl sitting alone in the rooftop. Reading her novels.

Riri is always happy when she was alone. She can observe herself, mostly, and also the nature. She loved tranquility and all of its friends. That is a hardcore introvert girl.

Boys saw her as a really cool girl, and many fell for her charisma. Not to mention Kentarou. He is still in a bit of a pinch, he didn't know who to like.

He felt like a bastard.

And then, Akira snapped a finger at him. "Hey! Kentarou-kun! Wake up, lunch time almost over!" Kentarou woke up from his daydream.

The clock then shown at 3 pm, where Akira and Kentarou must go to their part-time work at Kalma. Akira's club doesn't have any competition in nearby time, so she can cut some slack at least for this month.

In the class, when Akira was preparing her bag to go home, a certain shy girl approach her.

"A-a-akira-san, can I talk to you?"
"Ohh, Riri-chan! Hi! What's up?"
"Ano, I wanted to read the new volume of that manga series you lent to me the other day. Of course I bring the old one back now."

She immediately grabbed her bag and give the volume manga back to Akira. "Hahahah Riri-chan, it's okay. But, the next volume of that manga is at my house. Or maybe you could come there later? Only if you aren't busy of course."

"Ahhh Yes! O-o-of course!" Riri replied. Riri thought she can find new volumes in Akira's house. Riri offered Akira a ride back home, and Akira said, "ohh! Thanks, that's nice! I'll have to tell Kentarou-kun first though. Kentarou-kun!"

"Yo, Akira. What's up?"
"Riri offered me a ride. You have to go alone."
"Ohh okay."
"See you at Kalma!"

Riri and Akira then went to Manjiro Shopping District. Her vespa is parked in front of Kalma, and then they both walk to the back of the district to Akira's house. Akira showed her Kentarou's house, and told her that Kentarou shouldn't be at home right now since he's taking the train.

"Your vespa is really cool Riri-chan! I wish I can go anywhere like you!"
"Thank you Akira-san." As she unlocked her pink helmet and went inside the house.

The girls spent time together in the house's library. Riri's eyes were amazed by the book collection there, whether it is Manga or Novel. The time suddenly showed at 5.30 pm.

"I'm sorry Riri-chan! I have a part time job at Kalma tonight."
"Ohh I see. Then maybe I-"
"You can go there to see us work!"
"Us?"
"Ohh yeah. With Kentarou-kun. He also works there."

Riri always loved reading there at Kalma. So she agreed, and after that, both of them went to Kalma.

"Welcome! Ah hello girls! It's a beautiful sunset outside, right?" Tomoko-san greeted the two girls as the bell rang once again in the fabled cafe.
