Yeah a funny chapter for the reader but it hurt Lin in the end :hears the aww's"
well I hope it makes sense that the story has a flow to it
Anyways the next chapter and an into to another character.
Don't Worry, Be HappyLin was not answering any calls coming in that night, she felt betrayed by her two friends, and the empty feeling was killing her inside.
She looked out at the starry night and breathed out a sigh. It was hard that one person left her behind but both of them made her feel lonely again.
Her mom popped her head in to watch her daughter holding on to her favorite toy since she was little and she tried to smile but watching Lin in this mood was something she was afraid of again.
In China, Lin was popular but not for personality but for one incident couple years ago. She was with her class on a trip to the local food factory and she was curious about how they make the food as any high school student would be. Until another girl had grabbed her from behind and she slapped her across the face.
Lin was scared because she slapped the class president, which she had a crush on but she thought it was the male worker behind her. Despite all her pleas for forgiveness she received a beat down from from the president's friends. It left her with bruised ribs and even worst a tainted reputation, the worst of it was the writing on the walls.
“SLUT”
“WHORE”
“Call me!” with her number.
Her mother contact the school and could not find the evidence of those writings, she made a decision to start over in Japan because of an uncle that had recently passed away.
Her daughter meant the world to her but she knew she could pull through after the initial pain is gone. She knew her daughter would do that for her own sake but talking to her might make it worst so she went back to her reading.
Lin's tears were saturating the pillow and the moist region was making it harder for her to let herself cool down. She looked at the phone vibrating and saw an unknown number but she was too frustrated to pick it up.
She left it there for a while and she saw all the Chinese characters in the text. Lin calls up the number and to her amazement it was Jun.
“Jun, how did you get my number?” Lin trying to talk through her emotional state.
“Your mom ran into me and she said she had a daughter that had a hard day, I didn't know she meant you.” Jun laughed.
“Oh, she is such a nosy person but that's what I liked about her, she's like a friend that never gives up on you. Not like the ones that abandon me.” The long silence followed until Jun tried to console her.
“Lin, it must have been a mistake, people make mistakes.” Lin was ready for her outburst but she realized Jun was right. People make mistakes.
“How can I say sorry to them?” Lin began pondering until she looked outside to see two people in jackets outside. She hung up and ran outside in the cold.
“Lin, we are sorry, I never meant to do that.” Koha started off first.
“Same here, I thought it was you until I dragged Koha out of the crowd.” Aika gave a smile but went back to serious. Both were bowing to me and I put my arms around them to give them a hug.
“I understood you guys didn't mean it but I felt angry and betrayed that you left without me, I spent half an hour looking for you guys and no luck.
“As soon as I noticed Koha we ran back but it was empty and we tried calling but you didn't answer.” Koha seemed concerned as was Aika.
“You know what, don't worry, I feel better, thanks.” Line gave a hug to the two girls and she saw a taller woman walk towards them.
“Hey Lin, I wondered why you hung up on me.” Jun laughed.
“Yeah, now I need to choose.” Lin joked but the two were becoming nervous.
The four of them walked to the nearest food stand and ordered ramen for all of them to enjoy. The night went perfect for the three of them. All was solved and no other complaints arose.

The next morning Ai had woke up with a headache after karaoke with Risa, Eri, and Reina, Her usual smiling face was more of regret after the amount of time she was singing the night before.
She zombied her way into the bathroom where she saw Risa brushing her teeth.
“Hey Risa, you woke up early.” Ai stared at her girlfriend.
“Yeah, I need to get some stuff before Monday.” Risa smiled with the brush in her mouth.
Ai quietly done her business and sat on the couch in the living room. The headache was still there but it was slowly going away until the door knocks.
“Risa go get it.” Ai yelled and Risa greeted the two at the door.
“Hello, I got some food.” Eri proudly yelled into the room and Ai groans at the loud noise.
“Well, hello grumpy person. We seemed to wake you up to early, did you miss us that much?” Reina laughed at Ai's sleepy look.
A girl walks in with a fruit basket and jello.
“Hello, everybody, my name is Tokunaga Chinami and I am your new neighbor.” She says and Risa takes it with appreciation.
“Hello, you seem to be young to have your own apartment, where's your parents?” Eri asked.
“They are coming here tomorrow. I was brought here by grandparents because they were taking care of me since I was five. My parents were working overseas and I get to see them tomorrow.” She presented her smile and everybody but Ai couldn't help but smile too.
“Ai aren't you going introduce yourself to her?” Risa asked but a groggy Ai moaned again.
“Well unfortunately she's not feeling well, but that's Ai, I'm Risa, and these two are Reina and Eri.” She points to the yankii and the turtle.
“Thank you for introducing me to them but I need to unpack.” She leaves and we start looking at Ai strangely.
“Ai, I just notice that you have no bra on.” Reina laughed before everyone joined in.
“Oh shut up you guys, I have nice breasts.” Ai groaned.
“But Reina's ones are cuter.” Ai sat up and fell back down again.
Damn Eri and her stories.
