"i wish you the best with your modeling career" i said coldly trough the speaker and hung up the phone.
It was him. The guy who i just called was really kaito. The guy who's number is on my call list is really kaito.
And the guy who i don't want to see anymore is also kaito. I must admit, it's not that bad seeing him again. But i just can't. All that time on my new school i tried to make up a whole new personality and i've never been humiliated and being told that i'm just too childish. Yes, kaito did know the old me, but i'm not sure if he wants to know the new me. If i start hanging with him i know things will get into struggle. I need to be with jake, run for class president, be prom queen. I don't have time for goofing around with kaito. Even though...i don't think he would even want to. I always knew i was somehow bothering him. I always am.
"miss ayame?" our housemaid stepped into my room. I turned at her, smiling.
"how many times do i have to tell you? it's just ayame! you're like my second parent here!" i scolded her. She laughed "now, now, your father calls you. I think you're going out for dinner today". She looked at me with an happy face. I frowned "out?" i shrugged "okay...i'll be downstairs in 5 minutes."
She nodded and closed the door behind me. I got up and fixed my hair a bit, changed my clothes and rushed downstairs. "papa?" i called on the stairs as i jumped down from the last two steps. I looked around "papa?" i called again.
"he's waiting in the car, perhaps you take a jacket with you? it's getting cold" our maid, ms. sasaki, asked me. I rubbed my head. "Yeah..a jacket would be good...or maybe i'll just take an cardigan.." i thought out load, looking outside the window, figuring out what weather it was. "A cardigan would do."
Ms.sasaki smiled and handed me my cardigan, that was hanging on a chair beside her. I smiled, perfect coincidence, it was matching my outfit. "okay, bye ms.sasaki!" i winked and rushed out the door.
I spotted my dad in our car. Weird...he was driving? mr.kishi always does the driving job.
When i arrived at the car, i softly knocked on the window, for him to notice and unlock the car. He glanced at me and unlocked the door, and i jumped in, sighing. "Ms.sasaki was right, it is kinda breezy"
My dad looked over to me, pointed to my cardigan "really think that holds you warm?" he asked sarcastically. I rolled my eyes "yes. papa. i do." i said. And he started driving.
"Where are we going?" i asked. "Are we eating sushi again?"
"You love sushi!" he exclaimed. I laugh "yes,, but perhaps once every week? not everyday"
"no ayame, we're not going to eat sushi, we're meeting up with athena's dad. Athena's there too"
I clapped my hands in excitement "dinner with athena !!" i stopped being all excited for a moment. "why didn't you tell me earlier? i could have worn our matching shoes" i pouted.
He stopped the car. I looked outside the window. "We are eating tteokboki?" i asked. He nodded "its your second favourite, isn't it?" he asked back and got out of the car. "My third favourite...but atleast he knew i liked it" i mumbled, stepping out of the car and followed him into the restaurant, where i immediately spotted athena and her dad, sitting at two different tables. I frowned. Why aren't they sitting together?
I ran up to athena, joining her on the table. "Hey athena!" i greeted her. She looked at me, smiling "what's up ayame?". I looked back at her dad, who was already sitting besides papa, talking about business. "are you in a fight with your dad? why aren't you sitting beside him?"
She looked at her dad, then back to me "no i'm not. I just thought it would be better for us to sit in private. You know, talking to each other while our dads are listening to us. Kinda embarrassing" she told me.
I nodded, but then athena's gaze gesture changed into serious. I frowned, i was going to open my mouth and ask for it, she interrupted me just then "So when were you going to tell me a model is your mutual?" she asked me, staring deeply into my eyes.
"W-what" i stuttered. Then i sighed "kaito.."i whispered softly "kaito was a...friend....of mine back in my old school. We kinda talked and all but he was never a model. I don't know how he got into that business, but he's an old bud anyways, i..don't care" i said, sniffing.
Athena raised an eyebrow, but then shook her head "whatever you say ayame..so, what are you going to order?" she asked me, clearly wanting to change the subject
"uhm..tteokboki." i stated. "This place is literally known for it" i scoffed grabbing the menu card.
"Nah, they also have some other stuff. But yeah, i'm also ordering tteokboki." she said. "Drinks?" i asked her, checking out the drink options. "Wanna order the same?" she asked me, slightly smiling. I nodded and tapped on an cocktail with blueberry taste. "This seems good. And it's without alcohol, good for us" i pointed at our parents with my eyes, and she laughed, agreeing with me.
Some minutes later a waiter came and took our orders, disappearing into the kitchen.
Athena chuckled "that waiter totally checked you out."
I stared at her in shook "what?! athena come on" i sighed. "In your opinion the whole male population is into me" i scoffed. "But it's true!" she argued, as i nodded "yeah, for sure" i mumbled.
Just then our food came, and we thanked the waiter, and i rolled my eyes as he went to the kitchen again "your right, he totally stared at me."
"Told ya" she snorted, grabbing her chopsticks and starting to eat. I took a sip of my drink as glanced at the door. 'Oh, that guy is familiar' i thought looking back at athena.
Wait a minute...
I glanced back at the door. My eyes widened. "No way" i yelped, putting a hand on my head, hiding myself. I whispered, slightly loud "That's him!" i pointed aggressively to the guys who stepped in and looking for a place to sit.
Athena frowned "who?" she looked around. I snapped at the door "him! k-" i stopped for a second "kaito" i mumbled. Her eyes widened and she started laughing. "Do you like him?" she asked me, smirking.
I kicked her with my feet as she flinched. "Alright, stop it !" he yelped "just joking.."
I rolled my eyes, eating my food. "This is so embarrassing." i mumbled. She rolled here eyes "why? is he bothering you?!"
I shook my head "no..but i think i am". She looked at me confused. I looked back at him.
I couldn't help but smile a little when kaito was standing there, talking to a man. He was probably the owner of this place, and he probably has seen kaito several times as a model. It still wonders me how i've never ever heard of him since i left. He still had the same sense of style. He had his green eyes. His brown hair. Well, it looked kinda black, but it's brown when light shows up.
"You sure you're not in love with him?" athena whispered, now sitting very close to me, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I hit her again. "Of course not !" i whispered back, continuing to eat my tteokboki.
