Secret Around the Corner

Chapter 7: Shopping or fighting?

Yahiru's POV:

Beep.....beep....beep...beep..beep..beep... beep.. beep... beeeeeeeep

CRASH

I pulled my pillow over my head and grunted.

I heard my phone vibrating, I grunted again and picked up my phone.

"Hello?"

"Yahiru!" I heard Clorisa voice. "Ninaru and I were planning on going to the mall, you coming?"

I was wide awake now. "Of course I'm coming!"

I heard her giggle then asked shyly, "Do your brother perhaps want to come?"

I frowned. "I'm not sure, wait I'll ask him."

I walked to Soyaki's room and knocked a few times.

"Come in!" an answer replied.

I opened the door and peered inside.

Soyaki was sitting by his desk with his laptop opened.

He turned his chair around and asked, "Yeah what's it this time."

I covered my phone over the speaker so Clorisa won't hear.

"We're going to the mall just now do you want to come with?"

He half-closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Ya sure."

I blinked in surprise and backed out the room.

"He said he'll come with." I told Clorisa once I closed the door.

"Ok see you guys then at 11.00am," she said cheerfully.

"Ok." And she hung up.

Soyaki's POV:

I walked down the street with my hand in my pocket, Yahiru were a few steps ahead.

Mom was at work but she won't mind if I go with Yahiru.

It was a sunny day and the warm rays of the sun made me sleepy.

I yawned and half-closed my eyes.

When we reached the mall Yahiru went to greet her friend while I looked around at the crowd of peoples.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey Soyaki."

I turned and blinked when I saw Len standing next to me.

"What are you doing here?"

He just shrugged. "Ninaru phoned and asked Kirome and I to come with but I don't know why she asked me to come."

I turned to see Kirome greeted Yahiru with a hug.

The girls took off to the cloths store.

I rolled my eyes and followed more slowly with Len.

"I shouldn't have come with." I muttered.

Len chuckled. "Why not?"

"I was hoping to buy something."

Len looked at me. "That's not the only reason right?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Len grinned, "You're worried if something happened to Yahiru."

I narrowed my eyes. "Is it me or is it you who is worried about Yahiru?"

He blushed and looked away. "I-I'm also worried about Kirome."
