Citrus: My Way

Chapter 10

Woah, thank you so much for almost 100 reads! That makes me extremely motivated and happy!:) I also know that it should've been a school day, but I just forgot. I just wanted to skip school to meet Harumin.

Today's the day, Yuzu thought.

Yuzu had a couple of hours before the meeting with the person she was seeing.

She sighed and called Harumin to meet her at a cafe nearby.

"Yo, Yuzuchhi! What is it?" Harumin grabbed the menu and started scrolling down the variety of deserts.

"Look, I didn't come for food so it's on me." Yuzu said.

"Finally! You get to treat me." Harumin said, leaning back and saying her order to the waiter.

Yuzu rolled her eyes.

"Swear never to tell Mei or anybody about it, alright?" Yuzu whispered, leaning over the table.

"I swear." Harumin stared into Yuzu and back.

"Alright, I believe you." Blinking her eyes a couple of times before leaning back in.

"So... what's the juicy details?"

Yuzu told Harumin everything, that she was going to meet the stranger that she was marrying to the part where her grandfather keeps yelling at her.

Her eyes widen when Yuzu said the part about the "marrying the stranger" but didn't interrupt.

When she was done, Harumin was speechless and said "Uhh, so what am I supposed to do with this info?"

"Help me! You've been the advice giver all this time! I'm really grateful for that." Yuzu scowled.

Harumin didn't see that as a compliment but thanked her anyway.

She scratched her chin like she was stroking a beard "You should announce that to everybody, Yuzu."

"What?! No way. I'm not ready for that!"

The waiter dropped Harumin's drink off and she thanked him.

She rested on her arm, drinking the drink.

Harumin shrugged and said "They'd only be hurt more if you didn't tell them."

Yuzu knew who she meant. Mei.

Yuzu guessed everybody else knew about the marriage except Mei.

She heard grandfather say something about Mei never hearing about this before.

Yuzu guessed she was busy or never talked to grandfather a lot.

She sighed and leaned her head back, looking up.

"Anything else?" Yuzu added.

Harumin shrugged once again.

Yuzu checked her phone, checking what time it was.

2:00 PM

Time passed that quickly?!

She gave Harumin a $10 bill and thanked her before leaving.

Yuzu ran all the way home and checked her phone again.

2:10 PM

Yuzu picked out something nice, a white laced dress with some details on it.

It wasn't much but she thought it looked good on her.

She sat down and grabbed a hairbrush.

Yuzu started to brush her hair gently.

She shut her eyes, hoping the date or meeting wouldn't go horrible

Her hair was straight now and she tied her hair into some small braids before going off.
____________
Once Yuzu got there, she saw it was some fancy restaurant which made her even more nervous.

She thought of the horrible ways that it could go wrong. What if she embarrassed herself? What if it was some old creepy man? What if- the possibilities never ended.

She walked into the restaurant, hesitant at first.

It was crowded and everybody was wearing nice dresses and suits. Yuzu was only wearing a laced white dress.

She was searching for a person who was by themselves, maybe waiting for somebody who was Yuzu.

"Oh, hello. Are you Aihara Yuzu?" A voice called out.

Tomorrow, which is Wednesday, I'll be taking a day off from this book or chapter, whatever! You name it.
I want to plan out an another book/chapter which is about a girl X girl also but after that's completed, I'll do some straight book/chapters to keep things running smoothly.

The GirlxGirl is actually like a college romance which is about a quiet and lonely girl and a popular beauty player who, that quiet girl, embarrasses the beauty who is angered. They learn that they're dorm mates and have to live with it. The beauty always invites people over and parties while the quiet girl has to try to study. What's gonna become upon them?

I don't know why but this just came up my head and I knew I wanted to write this. So, starting soon would be my second book. I'll also be posting daily in both so don't worry!
