I've got no time to stop and breathe

Pham Thi Anh Sang

She let out a happy sigh at the sunlight outside. It wasn't too warm anymore since it was November now and she had a sweater on over her normal clothes but sunny days meant for light for her to play with! Her butterflies were already getting a bit brighter by the moment.

"So, where are we going?" Anh Sang said, walking beside Marina. The butterflies had cleared a ring around the two of them, sometimes doing loops above their heads.

The idea of going to where all of the upperclassmen went was a bit scary but also super exciting! She bobbed her head to Marina's suggestion. "I like all sorts of cakes but not the ones with too much cream. Where my family usually goes to, though, they always have so much cream in them and that's just really weird."

"I do like icing," Anh Sang admitted. "But buttercream is pretty weird. They love using lots of that in Asia, though!" She ducked her head at bit at Marina's complimented, because it made her feel all bubbly inside. She had decided, right at that moment, that not only was Marina cool and awesome, she was also very nice.

Saying that would be weird, though, so she just beamed so much that maybe the entire place was a bit brighter. And it had nothing to do with her magic.

"Okay!" She glanced at the menus for a little while. Thankfully, she could at least recognize some words, though the fancier things were just plain weird to her. It was helpful that each of the items had these little descriptions to go with them, too.

Though Anh Sang had an idea of what she wanted, she asked Marina, too. "What do you normally get here?"

"I guess I'll have the apple walnut, then, please!" Anh Sang said. She had been planing on some sort of apple desert anyways. Probably something boring and safe like pie but the thing that Marina mentioned sounded better. "Um, maybe the raspberry tea?" She squinted at the text a little. It looked like some kind of an iced tea, which was fine. She just really wanted something sweet.
