Note: NOW is when the story finally gets going! Remember to R&R, don't make me feel bad xD
The girl looked a lot like him. She was sickly thin, and had the dark look of an insomniac. But her hair was a light brunette, with rouch, large streaks of blue in it. She also had a small nose, pale face, and her eyes were startlingly golden.
"Hello." Johnny said at last. She tilted her head and smiled.
"Hello." She had an odd voice, a little high-pitched, but not too high and annoying, just on the side of girly. "My name is Chloe, but you can call me 'E' for short."
"My name is Johnny, but certain people call me 'Nny.'" Johnny said. He narrowed his eyes at her. "You're not just some pesky little idiot who 'loves my work' and wishes to team up with me, are you?" He relived the terrifying memories of Jimmy and winced.
"Of course not. At first, I thought you were copying me, but I see that you don't know me, as I..." E paused. "...don't know you." Nny was suspicious, but he didn't show it.
E finished off her Frooty Pop as Nny sucked the last of his Brain-Freezy.
"You know, you seem a lot quieter than you look."
"Well, although I am quite horrendessly insane, I'm trying to eleminate all emotion, so I can be like Mr. Samsa. Why. do you have a problem with QUIET?" He growled.
"No. Some people might describe me as quiet, too. But who's Mr. Samsa?"
"A cockroach."
"Ah."
They were silent for a while, until E sighed and stood up. "It was nice meeting you, Nny. I hope we see each other again." She smiled, bowed, and left the store.
Nny sat and thought for a while. There was something that troubled him, about the girl's eyes. He absentmindedly pulled on one of the bits of hair in his eyes. When he gave it a particularly hard tug, it clicked, and he remembered.
He had been drawing his latest Happy Noodle Boy comic when he had that feeling of being watched again. He dropped his pen and turned around in his chair. The madman looked around the room, trying to spot even the slightest movement, when he heard soft humming behind him. The song was familiar, just something he heard on the radio, but it aggravated him. He swiveled back in his chair and faced the window. He saw a glimpse of gold, but it was gone a second later. For the rest of the night, he couldn't concentrate, finding himself singing that song and thinking about golden eyes.
Nny shook his head. It was just a coincidence that a girl with golden eyes shows up a few days after seeing a glimpse of gold outside his window. Then again, he had never believed in coincidences...
Note: WOOOOOOO! Finally! A longer chapter, AND the story's starting to get good! I'm really excited about getting further, and will add chapters like a MADMAN. Or, mad-woman. Or, mad-invader... Whatever x3
