Of Rainy Days and Jigsaw Puzzles

Different: That's cruel.
Zia: Whatever. I'mDifferent-GetOverIt does not own the Kane Chronicles.

It was a boring, rainy day. Sadie and Bast had taken most of the other trainees out for a "field trip", leaving Zia and I with a few who didn't want to at Brooklyn House. Allyson was probably in one of the classrooms, taking care of some of her plants, Felix was off with his penguins somewhere, and Julian was in his room.
As for Zia and I, we were sitting on the floor, bored out of our minds.
"What should we do?" she asked.
"I have no clue," I replied.
"I'm going to find something," Zia stated, standing up. "I refuse to just sit here all afternoon."
With that, she left the room, leaving me confused.
A few minutes later, Zia came back, holding a small box in her hands.
"I found this," she said, holding out the box. It was a jigsaw puzzle of a tiger in a rainforest.
"Sure," I said, getting up to clear off the table. Soon, we were sitting incredibly close, sorting out the edge pieces from the regular ones. Once we were done with that, we moved on to putting them together.
"Here, I think this one goes right there," Zia said, handing me a piece. I took it and our hands brushed ever-so lightly. Still, I felt blush creep up to my face. Zia's face looked a little flushed too, which was something I had never seen before.
It was a lot more fun than I had expected. But then again, it might've just been because I was with Zia.
"Last piece," I said, holding up the small puzzle piece, one of the tiger's eye. "Would you do the honors?"
As a reply, Zia took the piece and placed it in it's proper spot. "Done," she said. "In only four hours and twenty-three minutes."
We both stood up and high-fived. After a few minutes, I realized our fingers were intertwined and we were basically holding hands.
Just then, Sadie walked through the door. She raised her eyebrows, then shook her head and walked away.
Zia and I looked at each other and laughed. She didn't even seem to mind that we were holding hands.
A/N: Zia: That was...interesting...
Carter: Where did you even get the idea?
Different: I got it because I was looking for inspiration, and I looked at my coffee table, where my mom and I are doing a puzzle.
Carter: Oh...
Zia: …..
Different: Please review! I need four to update!
