After school I went to work and miraculously she was there with her laptop but it looked like she had already received her Americano. I guess she was here extra early today.
I went to sit next to her for just a couple of minutes when I realized she wasn't wearing her specs again.
She had those bruises again.
I wanted to ask her what was going on but I still had something called a job. I went back to the counter and started taking orders again.
When my shift was over I asked her if she wanted to go to the beach with me. It was just a few metres away so we would be there in no time.
She agreed without question, if you asked me I'd probably say she was eger to go.
My plan was simple: I would just try and get her to be in the opposite direction of the wind. Then the wind would blow away her hair, I would look shocked and then get her to tell me exactly what on earth was going on with her.
Was I terrible for tricking her into telling me? Maybe
Did I care? No not all.
Fortunately everything went according to plan. In fact it was better than planned, the minute we arrived at the beach the cold breeze blew away her hair.
I gave her my jacket (Yes I was wearing a jacket this time) which was so romantic. Well at least for me it was.
"Miya your face? You have multiple bruises. And don't tell me you fell again."
I wasn't sure if I was being too pushy but I really didn't like her having so many bruises.
"Oh umm these bruises, ummm i got them ummm"
It was obvious she didn't want to tell me and I didn't want to be a push over.
"Miya it's okay if you don't want to tell me... It's just that I noticed long before we were friends that you sometimes stop wearing your specs. And I realized that the only reason you do that is because you are trying to hide your bruises."
She started crying and I immediately felt guilty. Why on earth would I push her to tell me? That's not very nice of me.
I hugged her in my arms to the point where I could smell her hair. This time they smelled like berries and honey.
