There's nothing better than spending a full ngày with your best friend in the entire world! Shinji! Of course, when he's not in a cold mood, I tend to hang out with him often. But today will be a great day! I'm wearing my yêu thích outfit! Denim jeans, dark purple blouse, jet black scarf, and midnight black hat. This is also a special ngày because I'm going to put my hair in a ponytail for Shinji! I haven't done that in a while. Our age difference isn't that...different. He's just a năm older than me. bạn know how it is. I'm sixteen and he's seventeen. Big whoop. I'm still a very good pal to him! He told me so every single năm on my birthday! Well, he would because...it was my birthday. Shinji and I are going to chill at the Ice Cream cửa hàng in Sanyou City! It's going to be so fun! Unless he's in his usual mood. But somehow, he's not in that mood whenever I'm around. That's pretty strange.

"Jen! Over here! I saved bạn a seat!" Shinji yells out to me! I run over to him and at the bàn he's sitting at. The Ice Cream cửa hàng is just on the corner of a đường phố, street in Sanyou City and I happen to tình yêu it there! I know the owner! She's really awesome because when Shinji and I were twelve, we came to this exact cửa hàng and the owner, Kiki, gave us free samples because they just opened! Ahhhh...good times. But that was four years ago. We've grown out of many things. Just not our friendship. I sit down tiếp theo to Shinji as he smiles at me. "So...what's up?" I ask curiously. "Not much. I just happen to be in a very great mood." Okay. Now I know something's up. Shinji's hiding something and I'm dying to find out! "What is it that you're hiding?!?!" I câu hỏi him which makes Shinji uncomfortable. "You wanna know?" he asks me. I nod my head vigorously. "Fine." Shinji makes a dramatic pause before he says something. "I...really like you." That's it? "Oh Shinji! I like bạn too!" I say thinking he's talking about our friendship. "No. I mean I like like you." What? W-w-w-wah...huhhh??? I see a waitress wearing a black and white dress come towards us. "Here's your Vanilla hạt đậu, đậu sundae," The blonde waitress with a flute-like voice gives me my yêu thích flavor of ice cream topped with chocolate. "And your Sô cô la tin giờ chót ice cream cone." She hands Shinji his ice cream. The girl sees my facial expression, blank. "Is everything okay?" She asks. "Huh? Yeah! Everything's fine!" But the truth is, it's better than fine. It's awesome!
