There's nothing better than spending a full दिन 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 प्रिय outfit! Denim jeans, dark purple blouse, jet black scarf, and midnight black hat. This is also a special दिन 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 साल older than me. आप 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 साल on my birthday! Well, he would because...it was my birthday. Shinji and I are going to chill at the Ice Cream खरीडिए 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 आप a seat!" Shinji yells out to me! I run over to him and at the तालिका, टेबल he's sitting at. The Ice Cream खरीडिए is just on the corner of a सड़क, स्ट्रीट in Sanyou City and I happen to प्यार it there! I know the owner! She's really awesome because when Shinji and I were twelve, we came to this exact खरीडिए 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 अगला 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 सवाल 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 आप 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 सेम, बीन sundae," The blonde waitress with a flute-like voice gives me my प्रिय flavor of ice cream topped with chocolate. "And your चॉकलेट ठगना, हेराफेरी 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!
