Zero To A Hundred With You

Chapter 28: The work

"It seems that my friends don't remember my birthday huh? Oh well." Alice muttered slightly but didn't seem to mind.

They were still sitting in a group before Raani started to ramble about something.

"Hey, do you guys have plans after school right?" Raani asked them.

"I don't think I have anything to do after school." Aini told her.

"Me neither, I was planning to sleep in." Airi told her.

Alice began thinking for a while, trying to see if she had anything to do after school.

"No, I don't think I had anything to do after school too." Alice said to them.

Raani smirked and decided to tell them her plan.

"Great, I need you guys to help me at the park after school." Raani said to them.

"I need your help!" Raani told them.

"What do you need help with?" Airi asked.

"I need to help my mother sell some drinks at the park. That's why I asked Airi to move some stuff to the park this morning." Raani told them.

"Yep, it was a pain waking up so early in the morning but I'm glad I get to help, although I'd prefer not to get wet." Airi told them.

"Yeah, we kinda panicked when we noticed it was almost school and rushed to the school after helping Mom." Raani told her.

Alice and Aini nod as they hear their story, but Alice still doesn't understand how they fell in the pond.

"If that were the case, why did you guys get soaked?" Alice asked them.

"Well, as we were running, I tripped on a rock and I pulled Airi into the pond with me." Raani told them.

Airi hits her on her arm as she mentions that incident. Raani chuckled slightly while Airi pouted.

"I was scared when we were in the pond, I thought I was  about to drown but thank God the water was shallow." Airi told them, still slightly annoyed.

"Haha sorry, I didn't mean to pull you in." Raani apologetically said.

Airi crossed her arms and looked away while Raani tried to comfort her. 

"So how about it? Will you guys help us?" Raani asked them.

Aini and Alice thought for a while before deciding whether to help her.

"Sure, I could join you guys." Alice said to them.

"Yeah, but I'd come a bit later, I need to get something from my home." Aini told her.

Raani got on the floor and prostates towards them.

"Thank You! I couldn't have better friends than you guys!" Raani said to them.

Alice and Aini looked on in confusion at Raani's sudden gesture. They lifted her up and sat her back down.

"Jeez, you don't have to be emotional. We'd help you the best we could." Alice told her.

"Thanks, guys, so everyone except Aini will follow me after school." Raani told them.

They all nodded in agreement. After school, they waved goodbye to Aini and walked to the park. As they were walking, they struck up a conversation about the things the stall they'll be helping.

"So Raani, what are we going to sell?" Alice asked.

"If I remember correctly, we will be selling all kinds of drinks like Sirap Bandung(Rose Syrup with milk), Green Tea, Blackcurrant with lychee, and many more!" Raani told them.
