There's nothing better than spending a full giorno 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 preferito outfit! Denim jeans, dark purple blouse, jet black scarf, and midnight black hat. This is also a special giorno 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 anno older than me. te 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 anno on my birthday! Well, he would because...it was my birthday. Shinji and I are going to chill at the Ice Cream negozio 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 te a seat!" Shinji yells out to me! I run over to him and at the tavolo he's sitting at. The Ice Cream negozio is just on the corner of a strada, via in Sanyou City and I happen to Amore it there! I know the owner! She's really awesome because when Shinji and I were twelve, we came to this exact negozio 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 successivo 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 domanda 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 te 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 fagiolo sundae," The blonde waitress with a flute-like voice gives me my preferito flavor of ice cream topped with chocolate. "And your Cioccolato caramella fondente, fudge 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!
