Prologue - Inevitable
Another freakin hot night figures... sakurakai – the only place on earth where is summer every day . After tossing and turning for the millionth time, I finally give up on sleeping tonight and make my way to the balcony, enjoying the cold feeling beneath my feet marbled floors mum I could kiss you right now... you cow . Outside a purple moon shines over the sleep induced village painting the streets with pinkish shilluetes, all is quiet, the only sound coming from the soft rustle of leaves as an unusual warm breeze floods the village, lifting pink flowers everywhere. I sigh as one of these flowers settles for the tip of my nose lovely...
"couldn't sleep...again?" an all too familiar voice says ah Effy right on time...
I turn my head to look at her, and of course she's there, sitting cross legged on the rails of the balcony, spliff in one hand looking at the view with a totally stoic face... as per usual. You see this little routine of ours has been going on ever since I first set foot in this town 3 years ago, I was 14 then and totally freaked when I saw her there 'cause...well... for starters I didn't know her from anywhere and she just stealthly appeared here sporting a blasé front that never seems to leave her face, and most importantly because I live on the fifth floor of a really tall building and the only way in was in fact the balcony... so yeah I freaked.
"what can I say I'm a creature of habits...apparently not the only one." I say smirking as she lazily gives me the finger.
"you'r nervous." It wasn't a question just a statement fucking Effy.
"Aren't you?"
"I don't do nervous campbell, you should know that by now". I scoffed at that "right...then again what don't you DO Stonem?", cheeky naomi but it worked: she smirks.
...
A few moments of silence stretch between us, like always we content ourselves with just being
...
"It's futile" the girl says out of nowhere
"sorry?" geez cryptic much...
"you being nervous...It's futile, a waste of emotion...",oh so she's just being cheap then, "tomorrow will come like every other day, the sun will rise, life will begin..." she says this last word with a moking tone I can't help but notice, ever since tony – effy's brother – died, the only beggining effy truly believes in is one that leads inevitably to an ending, with disappointement marking life's pace why bother right? Wrong...I hope "...you'll do brilliantly tomorrow naoms, you always do".
"I'm not so sure..."
"well that's inevitable too..."She says and I watch mesmerized as a cloud of smoke leaves her lips twirling lazily towards the sky hot air always rises, inevitable..
shit I'm nervous...
