Chapter three

Dahlia's POV

It's been two days since the interview with the Tech company and no response from them yet, I'm only hanging on to the little hope my girls positive energy is bringing me.

They've been the best of my little Tokyo family, always here to support me just like today my girls arrived my little space at 6am to spend all day and night with me and we are currently bing watching kdramas which is one of the many things we have in common.

Thinking back at how an African American lady became best friends with two awesome Japanese ladies amazes many of our acquaintance till date.

**********************flashback***********************

It was my second semester of my first year at Tokyo Institute of Technology and I only knew the student dorms, the cafeteria and the park beside the University.

I was at the park reviewing my notes from the previous class when a girl around my age settle beside me on the bench sniffing, it seems she has been crying alot.

I looked at her realising she was either Japanese or Chinese but I couldn't decide since her face was buried in her hands.

Her sniffing turned to sobbing drawing the attention of a few persons at the park including myself sitting beside her.

I was going to leave her alone to her sobbing but my conscience was nagging at me to comfort the crying girl'.

I gave a tap at her shoulder to get her attention but she turned and hugged me which surprised me but I began patting her back while her sobs grew louder by the second.

Two mins into the hug she began calming her sobs for which I release her to get a clear view of her face which was red and her eyes a little swollen with snout running from her nose.

Too bad I was out of tissues but we were distracted from our staring contest by a white handkerchief being stretch out to us, the crying girl took it and blew her nose.

The girl who gave the 'crying girl' the handkerchief was a beautiful Japanese girl within our age range whose face was super friendly from the ones I've met so far "Hi my name is Sara" the beautiful Japanese girl said to us waving her hand.

"Hi I am Dahlia, nice to meet you" and suddenly the crying girl giggled making us look at her strangely

" I am Hana and I feel like I just met my new best friends but my ex boyfriend slept with my bitchy ex best friend" she said and resumed sobbing.

Sara sat on the other side of Hana while we calmed her down. That was the beginning of our friendship.

*******************end of flashback*******************

"Earth to Lia!!" Hana says snapping her fingers infront of my face "what's got you so far away Lia? is it the interview again?" Sara ask

"partly but I was thinking back at our first encounter at the park which led us to this amazing bond we have" I say getting emotional.

"omg who would have thought someone would be the most emotional and romantic in our group, awwww she's got tears in her eyes" Hana says hugging me and we all laugh with tears in our eyes.

"Lia just added some emotion to this kdrama, that was the icing on the cake girllllll" squealed Sara.

"Lia there's something we need to talk about and we aren't backing down this time" Hana says and I blink back my teary eyes " what's wrong girls?" I ask

" please move in with me tomorrow at my apartment, we'll help you pack tomorrow and I have the movers on standby waiting for my call so you don't have to worry about a thing" Sara says with worry in her eyes and I feel like I'm stressing my girls when all they're trying to do is help me.

"girls I really appreciate all that y'all are doing but I thought we had a deal that until I get the job then I move in with you. I don't want to be a burden....." Sara cuts me off

" Lia you aren't anyone's burden, you are our bestfriend and confidant. Best friends help each other out without expecting anything in return"

"and I know you'll get the job so it's final we're moving out tomorrow" Hana adds leaving no room for arguments.

"thanks so much girls for your hearty support, my Mum will be over the moon with this news, she has been trying to convince me too and I think a certain birdie has been influencing her" I say looking at Hana who plays innocent

"Let's give your Mum a video call tomorrow while we pack" Hana suggest and we all agree to the youngest of our group. Hana is 23years old while Sara and I are 24 with me being just few months older than her.
