Seems like I'm always waiting for something. Like I'm always staring at the clock lately.
I'm watching the time and it is moving so slowly. What am I waiting for? Oh, right. Soma's dad is coming home soon and he promised he'd cook me a delicious meal.
Time needs to move faster! I feel a presence come next to me so I turn to look. It's Soma. He's holding something in his hand, giving me a cute— a friendly smile.
"Here." He softly says, opening his hand; showing me what seems to be a violet seashell. "I found this when we went to the beach yesterday. It sort of reminded me of you."
"Oh, wow. It's so pretty." I take it from his hands and we hold eye contact. I smile and he returns it which makes my heart— do nothing. I look down at the shell, my smile widening even more.
My heart skips a beat but I don't think anything of it. Your heart would skip a beat if you got a gift too, right?
He gets up from the chair he was sitting in and looks at me. This shell is pretty, I say again but this time in my head.
Wait, he said it reminded him of me? And the shell is pretty. Does that mean he thinks I'm...
"Thanks, Soma. I'll treasure it." I say, shaking off the thought. I'd rather not jump to conclusions. We're friends, finally, and I've gotten over him.
Can't ruin that. I won't ruin that with dumb thoughts.
He smiles and I get up from the chair I was sitting in too. "I wonder when dad is getting home. I can't believe he would leave two kids in the house all alone."
I laugh a little at what he is saying but stop. When Joichiro went out, Tamako would still be here with us.
Her death wasn't that long ago. I miss her so much. I shake that thought off so I won't end up crying and wrap an arm around Soma.
The good thing about being Soma's friend is being able to hug him when I want to without him pulling away and running.
Well, he still pulls me away sometimes but he doesn't run. I mean it's not like I want to hug him or anything. I just... more dumb thoughts. I look over at Soma and smile.
"I know, right? He needs to get here sooner. I'm suuuper hungry."

The Fall Selection - Block B
The prep work is done and I'm moving on to making the dish come together. Everything has been going smoothly so far. I'm keeping Soma's words as a reminder in my head. I'm giving this my all.
