Chapter 9
Page 83- _Great Minds Think Averse._
Worn to a frazzle she could barely walk let alone shoulder the body of her friend. She rummaged through her purse, took the keys and unlocked her door. Rejuvenated by a home-felt comfort, her right hand firmly shouldered Merumi 'till dropping her off the futon and covering her cold body with a warm blanket. Haruno plodded downstairs, locked the door and went back up. She was ready to switch off the lights and jump on her bed when Aigasaki suddenly said something.
Merumi.... _D-don frget t-tto seth alarm for seight._
Supposedly dead asleep she blurted out what sounded as gibberish. _Little miss genius_ in turn made out most of it as setting an alarm for their job in the morning. But the time was a bit too complex to fix so she set the earlier audibly common, seven sharp. Her eyelids slowly drew to a close in the dark cold night. Later followed her body gently pressing against the soft pillow.
Next morning came waking up to the ringing chime of her alarm clock. Twice blinking her eyes met the face of a furious girl.
Merumi.... _Rin! Why didn't you wake us up!?. I told you not to forget setting it at six didn't i?_
Her face creased into a frown looking strangely barbaric with curly short and wild blue hair. But that simply made mood-changing Haruno a bit mad.
Rintarõ.... _What do you mean you told me! You're the one who said a non-existing number in your sleep. Seight!? what's that?_
Merumi.... _Ohh i talked in my sleep thinking i was awake again didn't i?. Sorry about lashing out at you, i sleep talk when i'm super exhausted is all._
Rintarõ.... _Oh, i see. Then that means we're gonna be late._
Faces reverted to normal, both girls looked at each other exchanging glances of silent surprise. Thoughts connected they rushed to the bathroom together, did a quick in and out, and minutes later both were putting on clothes. Ai fit into a white blue striped t-shirt and black trousers. The corner pocket held a name "Merumi Aigasaki,” which Rintaro read out loud. Below also existed "Durallin Store" in red.
Rintarõ.... _Is that your uniform?_
Merumi.... _Yes, but don't worry, i already told my boss to put in the name Rintaro Haruno on yours too. You'll get it when we arrive._
Rintarõ.... _Aww Ai you're the best._
Merumi.... _I'd say thank you but this is not the time for idle chatter. The store opens at 8 and we've got to be there since it's part of our job to welcome customers. And i can imagine what he'll look like when i tell him we took off at..... *looks at phone* 7:39._
Finished spilling out the obviously bad news, a startling honk came from outside. The two rushed down and opened to see surprising Asami in the car. "How did you....,” before Rin could finish she was cut midway with another honk. "Come get in!," Ito shouted as she locked the door and quickly rushed into the car.
Asami.... _Give me the directions!_
She exclaimed gesturing towards Merumi's phone and she fired back," here take it." A bit after studying the small map, the car was leaving a puff of pale white smoke as it sped off headed north. Silence lingered in the air 'till a sudden screech pulled everyone back from their nervous minds. The time read 7:56 whilst polished wheels braked in front of Rin's new part-time working place.
Rintarõ.... _Thank you again lady Asami, you saved us._
Asami..... _You're welcome._ *smiles*
Rintarõ.... _By the way, how did you know we'd be late? I mean you didn't spy on us did you?_
Asami.... *laughs* _Ahaha no way. I just had a hunch your friend would sleep talk and wake up late. She's done it before...._
Feeling left out , Ai jumped in on the conversation with a gasp aimed at Asa.
To be continued.......💙
