A blonde girl sat silently by a gravestone, it had been long since everyone had left since the funeral and yet she sat by the stone staring across the yard. Playing with a blade of grass as a small breeze went by in the summer air.
"Karma sweetie you shouldn't stare the young girls had a tough enough day without you're eyes upon her" Karma nodded and ran back across the street to her mother and they both went inside.
It wasn't till a year later that Karma thought about that blonde haired girl, only because she was there again sitting by the grave doing nothing but staring across the yard.
"Why don't you go see if she's okay" Karma nodded not taking her eyes off the girl by the gravestone.
when she got closer she could hear the Blonde singing softly to herself and Karma didn't know if she should intrude or just walk back away.
"I know you're there" Her voice was quiet and she didn't turn around to look at Karma.
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt, I just... I saw you over here and I thought maybe you would like some company..." Karma didn't really know what to do she was always nervous when meeting new people even with her cousins after they hadn't seen each other in a few years.
"That's okay...that was nice, please sit...not many people come and talk to me" The blonde sounded sad and that's when Karma saw the white stick with a small ball end laying beside her. "It's a seeing cane" Her hand gripped it next to her.
"Oh that's kinda cool, My brother once pretended to be blind for a weekend...he said it didn't seem that bad so my dad said he should wear a blind fold so he can't see and see how he could survive" Karma stopped her story and the girl sort of tilted her head to the side.
"did he..."
"Oh yeah but he broke his arm, and ran into a lot of walls" The blonde laughed loudly.
"That's great, My step sister thought I was faking when she first came to live with us...she doesn't like me much" Karma just sighed.
"Zen doesn't like me much either, My parents adopted him and he always tells me they chose him and were stuck with me"
"You know he doesn't mean it, it just shows his insecure about his roll in the family due to being adopted" Karma looked at the blonde with an odd look. "I might be blind but I study a lot with my Cousin, she reads me her study books" Karma just smiled brightly.
"That's cool, My cousins don't like doing much, when they come over we usually just sit around the back yard talking about how embarrassing our parents are" They sat in comfortable silence for a bit till a Small blonde haired girl walked over.
"Amy! Farrah said we are going and to stop your crying and come now" Amy sighed and stood up slowly and pointed her cane in front of her.
"I'll be back next year if you're still here maybe you could come sit with me again" Amy smiled and turned not waiting for an answer.
"What time!" Karma called out to her.
"6am till 4pm...Bye" With that Amy left and Karma didn't see her again at the Graveyard till the following year.
"Can you believe my Lauren actually thought she was funny" Amy complained hearing me come up behind.
"can you believe I could have been some complete random" Karma sat down and placed her bag next to her.
"You are a complete random... I still don't know your name or anything other then the fact you have a brother named Zen"
"I'm Karma Ashcroft, 16 and over having a brother named Zen" Amy laughed loudly and the sound hung in the air.
"Amy Raudenfeld, 16 and in need of a new family" Karma smiled and took the outstretched hand of one miss Amy Raudenfeld.
"Do you live far away?"
"Yeah, I guess it takes an hour to drive here so we don't come often, my Nana lives down the hill, I spend a lot of my holidays there...do you live close?"
"Yeah across the road, my dad is the gardener here"
"Tell him I like the soft grass, and sorry that I pick at it while sitting here" Karma laughed and squeezed Amy's hand which was still in her own.
"I shall, but you better watch yourself he'll come after you"
"Oh no, I'll have to go on the run, change my name and appearance pretend to actually be able to see, he'll never see that one coming"
Karma and Amy sat for the rest of the afternoon talking and chatting about their lives and how different they both were.
"I don't want to wait another year before I can see you again..." Karma confessed when she saw the same small blonde walking slowly towards them.
"Then don't, I might be blind but I can still answer a phone, we can set something up...if you want" Amy pulled a phone from her pocket and handed it to Karma. "Set a ring tone so I know it's you calling" Karma did and she rang her number from Amy's phone so she had her number.
"what times good to call at?" Amy thought about it for a second.
"Maybe 7pm...yeah 7 to 9 I don't have anything really going for me at"
"Amy!" Lauren shouted from a little bit away and Amy sighed.
"Bye Karma...hopefully talk tonight?" Amy stood and walked slowly down the hill.
"7pm on the dot!" Amy smiled to herself as she walked to Lauren on the familiar track she had known since she was 9.
