*Monshiro-cho shopping district*
*Umino-tei DIner*
-Oh, welcome!- said my mom with a bright smile as Erika and I walked into the diner.
-Hey, you came to say hi?-asked my dad with an even brighter smile on his triangle-shaped face.
-Umm... Hello Mom, hello Dad... Amano-san insisted on seeing the restaurant.
-Oi, why are you in your uniform?
-What's the big deal? Why would that matter?
-Why don't you have something to eat, since you're here?-my mom politely asked us.
-I will.-said, Erika.
This is bad. She is acting cold and isn't even looking at me. She is looking down at the floor. What is she thinking? Am I in trouble? I know she's an idiot, but what if something terrible happens here? What does she want? What's going on? I am going crazy.
- I never knew the first floor of your house was a restaurant.-said Erika while looking around, examining the place.
-I-I guess you'd call it a diner for the common folk.
I'm sweating. The chills are running down my spine. Something terrible is about to happen. Erika's about to explode.
-I see.
She's taking a good look around. I already had a bad feeling about this, but now I know for a fact. She's waiting for the moment to take action.
*SLAM*
-I am not getting married.-said Erika As she slammed her hands on the table.
My mom and dad looked in our direction. They looked pissed. They were delinquents and those old personalities suddenly returned to them.
- A little too late for that, don'tcha think?- asked my dad.
A table went flying from one side to another as Erika kicked it. She started screaming:
-Shut up!!! Shut it, you rotten parents! No one asked you for any of this! Do you think kids don't have any rights? I'm going to rebel, even if it means beating the crap out of you!
A plate flew towards Erika, but she was quick enough to dodge it. My mom started cracking her fingers. She was really pissed. Her eyes narrowed and her whole expression changed:
-You wanna go, you punk-ass bitch?! You'd be dead if you weren't mooching off your parents. ( DAMN mom... Jeez)
-I'll teach you not to run your mouth ever again!- This was my dad.
-Let's take this outside, asshole!
-I'm not taking orders from you old people!
-Shut your yap, you brat!
-No, you!!!
And here I am sitting there, thinking about my life choices. Where did I go wrong? I don't know. (Nagi-kun, Nagi-kun) I hear someone saying my name.
-Nagi-kun!
-Huh? Wait what? Eh????
It was my imagination. Thank god nothing really happened.Phew... I'm glad.
-I need to go to the bathroom, Nagi-kun!
-Yes, it's on your left.
She left. Anyway, I must stop Amano-san if she's ever about to hit them.
*In the background*
-I know, right?
-Yes, yes, I know!
Why are these old men always here drinking beer? Don't they have a life? Don't they have a family to look after? Ooh, Erika is coming back, but why in such a rush?
-I'm back!- She said angrily.
-Yuh...
...
-Well, well, haven't we a beauty here today?- one of the drunk men said.
-Are you a celebrity?-another responded.
Erika Angrily grinned at them with her purple eyes.
-She really is! This is Nagi's fiancee.-Said my mom.
-Wow!!! They're so young. In this century?
-Good going, Nagi-kun! This surely calls for a celebration!
-Here's to the Uminos' future! Cheers!
I stood up and tried to say a thing but that was when I noticed Sachi standing in the corner drying wet dishes. I got her attention somehow and tried to make her do something about the situation. But Sachi being herself, she just ignored me and left me on my own. While all this was happening, Mom came with the restaurant's special dish: The ginger pork.
-I hope you enjoy it, you two!-said, Mom.
I didn't mind it, but when I took a look at Erika, she looked disgusted. She looked like she was about to say, "You're actually going to make me eat this?" Of course, right? What rich person could eat this skinny, greasy meat?
Suddenly my mom and dad hopped behind Erika, expecting her to eat. Surprisingly for me, she ate a piece, but she didn't change her expression. Brace yourselves! She's so angry, she swallowed it whole.
-It's delicious.
My parents jumped with happiness. I was shocked and speechless. I was so confused I gave her a glass of water and she drank it all in two gulps.
-Hey, look at this. Erika-chan looks just like her kid sister Sachi from the side, don't you think?-My mom asked Dad.
-You're right! The bridge of her nose is exactly the same.
-And she's so fair-skinned. And her hair feels just like mine.
-And she got her long eyelashes from me.
They're manhandling a bomb!!! And it's already counting down, isn't it? Stop it, please stop it. She's gonna explode now.
Three...
Two...
One...
Erika stood up.
-I'm going home.-she said and ran out of the restaurant. I had no other choice but to run after her. I wanted to know what she was going to tell my parents.
