Lana | The Shy Loser (🍩)

Yes! Yes! Yes! They’re gone! Mom and Dad are gone! This is my moment. I don’t have much time. While Mom is at her business meeting and Dad patrolling Shibuya, this is the only chance I’ll ever have. I’ve prayed for times like this, when I have the opportunity of a lifetime to get what I desire—two dozen donuts…I need it so bad.

Krispy Kreme, my absolute favorite donut brand. I’m so glad they do delivery in my area. Just a quick phone call and they’ll be on their way. “Y~yes…two dozen donuts….p~please…thank y~you.” A human interaction…when’s the last time I’ve spoken to anyone besides mom and dad? Breathe, Lana…deep breaths. You succeeded anyway. Now that I ordered the donuts and hung up, they'll be here in 15 minutes. I bet it’ll be the longest 15 minutes ever. But whateverrr~. Hmm, I wonder how much Yen I owe ‘em. My bank account is almost empty but I’m sure I have enough~. And if I don’t…I’ll just strangle the delivery man and take the donuts. Tee-hee!

I still can’t believe this day has finally arrived~. I know I shouldn’t be cheating on my diet…and If mom or dad found out…I’ll be kicked out for sure! I don’t wanna be homeless in Japan!!! But it’s worth the risk! Two dozens of donuts…all for myself…I’ll for sure gain weight and mom will sense that I’ve been eating sugary treats…then dad will disown me and I’ll live life on the streets as a fat pig…I don’t want that! Lock in, Luna. Risks have to be made for the donuts.

The doorbell…it rang! That must be the delivery! Should I really open the door? What if it’s Michael Myers or Samara Morgan…there’s no way! It’s gotta be the donut person! I’m opening the door…EEK!!! I can sense my eyes widening in fright! My legs trembling as sweat seeps down my right cheek! I’m frozen in shock!

W~wait…It's a man…a handsome man…and he’s much taller than a shortstack like me~. To add to it, he’s very cute…I bet he has a charming voice…like Keanu Reeves~. I can see he’s holding what I ordered—two dozen donuts in a box wrapped in a plastic bag. Should I let him inside? What if he runs to the kitchen, grabs a knife and kills me? I can’t die without experiencing the taste of a donut again. What am I thinking right now? Just look at him, Lana…his gaze is so soft…and he’s not looking at my half naked body~. I need to say something before he speaks. What should I say though? Anything? Just say something, Lana! “T~those…a~are my donuts…h~how much…do I owe ya?” I messed up my words but hopefully he understood. The donuts probably cost about 2200¥ by my guess…but maybe I should invite him inside…we could eat donuts together and watch Netflix~. But he’s just delivering…why would he want to spend time with a loser like me? I wish he’d be my friend or something~. I wonder what his name is…
