『The Rhythm Of Despair』

17|Days When We Gaze

Marinette's P.O.V

It was morning already, we all gather around the dining room table to eat breakfast.

In casual and comfortable clothing. We sit down in the places we want to.

I get ready to sit down near a spot next to Alya but I was stopped by a thump against the table, Chloe Bourgeois' make up bag.

She looks at me with her wide blue eyes that were deeply piercing into my soul creating a large hole of fear within me.

"Um.. Chloe?" I question her.

"I am going to sit here!"

"But you never sit near Alya!"

"Yes, but I do sit with.. Sabrina." She points at a seat that was on my left.

Without arguing with her, I leave from that spot.

I look around and spot Adrien. I could sit right next to him.

As he was speaking with Nino about something, or making jokes about things, I look at him, His shiny, wavy blonde hair, his green emeralds as eyes, so beautiful. His eyes were as green as many black cats' eyes.

I could stare at him forever, remembering the day we met which was not the perfect moment of where I misunderstood him and accused him of putting that chewing gum on my seat which he did not. I remember when he gave me his umbrella leaving him to soak wet under the rain as I was protected by his umbrella.

He slowly begins to catch my stare and I quickly look away when I feel my cheeks form a red color and my heart race.

Phew! That was close! I look around for other seats, if I sit near Adrien I may end up suffering from a dreadful heart attack!

I see the new boy, Luka sit next to Ivan.

Should I really ask him? What if he.. Isn't it a bit awkward to ask a boy?

Whatever! I shake my head and look at him properly.

I look over to him and confidently walk over to him.

"Uh.. Luka?"

He looks at me, "do you want to sit next to me?"

It's like as if he could see right through me.

"Um.." I nod with a smile. "Thank you."

I sit down next to him, waiting for the food to come around.

Ms. Boustaire also comes and sits down with us.

The waiters in really smart looking outfits come and serve us our food.

Wow! It looks just like a 5 star meal you'd find in some kind of 5 star restaurant.

Plates of toast, butter, pancakes, maple syrup, bottles of jam, pieces of chicken drumsticks, melted cheese.

A waitress comes along, serving us the pancakes with melted butter on top, drizzling the maple syrup over our stack of small and soft pancakes.

We dig in with our stylish sliver knives and forks.

After we were done eating, we went outside to the Harijuku Mall, the place of tourist attraction.

At the mall, we bought some sweet Japanese style cinnamon rolls, a sweet dish called Dango, which are sweet small dumplings on a skewer like a fruit kebab, made out of Mochiko which is rice flour. We also ate Pocky and green tea flavored KitKat.

We went around the whole mall, taking photos, eating and Luka brought his guitar with him and played an amazing tune.

For the first day here in Japan, it's been amazing..
