Cool feelings

"532yen is your total." I reach into my left pocket for change. I reach past my keys, digging all the way down, only to find a couple. I reach back up a little, poke around a bit, picking out the coins from the keys-- shaking off the dust in my pocket. There. 3 coins safely in my palm. 2 coins caught between my index finger and my middle finger. My outstreched thumb just hanging onto the last coin against a contorted pinky. To my left, four pairs of eyes stare at me impatiently. Hurry up. How much you got? We're waiting! My knuckles catch the lining of the pocket. Readjust and try again. Hand's out. I feel the stares. I open up my right hand and let the coins fall.

One 500, three 10's, and two 1's. Nice.

I stare at the screen as the train slows down. Should I send it? We're coming up on a station. There's reception. If you're gonna send it, now's your chance. But do I really need to tell her she's a sweetheart? That's a bit weird. Too cheesy, maybe? I don't want it to be awkward. We're not even dating. Fuck it.
