C82 Flying Kite Day

My mind raced. “Since tomorrow is our first payday… maybe we should plan something.”

Their expressions immediately changed. Chris nodded. “Brother, that’s actually smart. What can we do?” Alicia tilted her head. “Our first payday is tomorrow… but we’ll still be working.”

Chris thought for a moment. “The day after tomorrow is the weekend,” he said slowly. “We won’t be working…” Before he could finish, Alicia interrupted. “Go out?” she asked with a playful smile.

She looked between us. “Are you two asking me out? Did you plan this behind my back?” She laughed as if she already knew the answer.

Chris and I exchanged confused looks. “We didn’t mean it like that…” I muttered. Before we could explain further, Alicia suddenly raised her hand. “I have an idea.”

Both of us looked at her. “The day after tomorrow is Kite Flying Day.” She smiled brightly. “Let’s go fly kites and push away bad luck.”

We both blinked. Neither of us had heard of it before. Coming from our world, it sounded almost unusual… something meant for families or wealthy traditions.

But seeing how excited she was, we both nodded. “Alright,” Chris said. Alicia smiled. “Good. It’s decided.”

A car arrived for her. We said our goodbyes and rode our bicycles home.
