Aph~
As I proceed to wait with the other students for the bell to ring Ms. Fukuhara, taps my shoulder with a roll of paper. I look over my shoulder, she looks down on me I can feel her peering into my soul. Usually I hate looking into people's eyes, but hers seemed to be filled with the unnatural feeling of hostility. (feeling hatred towards another).
"Y-Yes?"
"Come see me in the back room!" I follow eagerly, but I'm also really nervous it's the 'first' day and I was late. How could I do such a thing. I guess I have a soft spot for tall and mysterious. "Ms. Silva, do you know how hard it is to run a class full of freshman who only know one volume level? LOUD!"
"I'm so sorry to leave you in such a situation. It won't happen again!"
"*sigh* It's not your fault. Maybe I'm just losing my touch with the youth, but I'm supposed to count on my 'volunteered' help. In the kitchen, everything isn't just you. It's the sous chef, the head chef, even the dishwasher. Now, don't be late again." I bow at a forty-five degree angle which is considered very formal/ respective.
"It won't happen again, chef!" The class continues and the bell rings promptly. I scurry off to my long awaited lunch.
"Hey Aphmau?!" I turn around and see Nicole.
"Huh?"
"Hey girl, how're you doing?"
"Oh, hey Nicole! I'm good how're you and Dante doing?"
"We are on our third break for the month!"
"Wait why?"
"We're just so different, but we still like each other. I don't know what to do...enough about me. What about you and Mr. Tall and handsome?!"
"You mean Aaron?"
"Tell me everything!"
"APHMAU?! NICOLE?!" Nicole and I turn around slow and steady. As it took us by surprise. And kind of someone we want avoid.
"Oh, hey Brendan!" We both do this awkward giggle.
"WHATS UP?"
"Nothing, why are you so loud?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"WHY ARE YOU SO LOUD?"
"I BLEW MY EARDRUM, WHEN I WENT SHOOTING WITH MY GRANDPA!"
"OH!" Nicole and I say in unison.
"ANYWAY, AARON WANTED ME TO GIVE THIS TO YOU. APHMAU." He pulls out a crinkled paper bag. It looks as if it's from one of the supermarkets nearby. I open it.
"Oh. My. Goodness!!" Brendan walks off knowing his job is well done. I guess seeing my face is satisfaction enough. Leaving Nicole in a confused trance.
"What is it girl?!" I start jumping up and down. Making my self look as crazy as possible. I open the bag once more. And give Nicole the best look.
"It's like it's Christmas? No. My birthday? No. My first born child? Yes! My sweet little baby. My pizza bread baby!" I take it out of the paper bag and look to see if there is anything else. And there is. There's a post-it note, and a yogurt drink. I read aloud the note. I look over at Nicole, who is still in her confused trance. "'I just wanted to say I can't wait till we become better friends. I heard that you like Pizza Bread from Travis over summer break. So I tried to get you one, but they sold out! So I ran to the convenience store down the hill. Hope you enjoy! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و'"

A/N. So I got the dates mixed up for testing it's this week, but not on a Monday which is great. Cause I was able to get some air time to write this. That two weeks without writing this were great though and I loved it. Thank you, guys.
