May started calling him. "Hi, how are you?"

"Can't sleep; have e. Just wanna know if you wanna go to the ball with me. How are you doing?" 

"Good. Just had dumplings again. Right now I'm watching Naruto." May straightened her boy shorts. "And I wanna go to the ball."

"Alright, cool." Yosh was in a chat with his friends while calling May. "The dance is next Friday at 6. Also, I just had me a burger and fries for dinner. Mom had me cook; I'm kinda enjoying it."

"That's good. Maybe you can cook dinner for me sometime..."

Yoshida opened a bag of Crunchy Fajita Takis. "I might do that one day... I have a multitude of ideas: Dumplings, curry, burgers, fried chicken, fries, fish, omurice... Yeah, I have many ideas."

May said, "Can't wait! Also, do you like gifts I gave you?"

"Yeah. I have the Blastoise figure on my nightstand. I'm gonna use the KFC card tomor- How much is on it?"

"40¥. Kentucky Fried Chicken has hot chicken." May straightened her Itachi shirt. "I'm gonna go get more dumplings." She took her phone and went to the fridge. 

"I went to go get a boba, and some guy named Udi suggested I'd use all the pearls. I ended up doing so. I was wondering where you were."

"I was making up for a test." May put some dumplings in the microwave. 

Yoshida ate more of his Takis. "He smelled of garlic..."

"He did; he eats a bulb every day. He wants to repel girls from him. He's doing a good job." May took out her dumplings and ate one of them. 

Yosh sighed in relief and took off his shoes. "I get to see my grandma this Saturday; she lives in Tokyo. Grammy makes the best beet borscht. Just so you know, I'm of distant Russian descent while I'm Japanese. That's how I have my blue eyes."

"That's neat! I'm Japanese, English, and Hungarian." She ate another one. 

"I know. Your dad told me." Yoshida opened his snack drawer and took out some black sesame kisses. "I miss the guy... He's in a better place, I hope..."

May replied, "Me too. My mom wants to bring him new flowers; someone stole the ones from the grave."

Yo unwrapped one of the salty-sweet candies and popped it in his mouth. "Might need to restock. Luckily, I work a solid job."

"I worked today; my boss wants me to be manager when he passes away. He has cancer."

Yoshida said, "I don't know how to respond to that. Part of me wants to wish you a good job, whereas part of me is sorry he won't live longer."

May said, "I understand."

Yo said, "My grandpa can do shashlyk."

"What's a shashlyk?"

"Skewered meat." Yosh ate some more black sesame kisses. "You can also add veggies and fat to it."

May ate the last of her meat-filled pockets of dough. "Anyway, I gotta get my dress set up for the ball. I'll see you tomorrow. We should have breakfast together."

"I'll get us some muffins. I'll see you tomorrow.  Bye."
