In Another Life
Chapter 9: Questionable Times
Scene from last Chapter:
Aelita shot up from her bed panting heavily. She turned her head to the scissors on her desk. The door to her closet swung open. The door to her room remained closed. She looked at her clock and read 19:00.
What I going on with my life? Aelita thought as she fell back onto her bed.
The continuation:
Aelita stood up on her bed when she suddenly heard knocks from her doors. Uh oh Aelita thought. She grabbed her scissors (Just in case!) and opened the door.
It was Mr. Delmas and some detectives; one who is about 6 feet tall with black long hair and a slightly chubby one with a mustache.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Stones," He said. "Meet Mrs. Jones and Mr. Berkly."
"Uh… nice to meet you," Aelita said. What is going on? She thought. She lend out her right hand to shake theirs.
"Do you mind if we ask you some questions about your resent attack?" Mr. Berkly asked. Oh that, Aelita thought.
"S-Sure why not." Aelita cleared her door way and let them in. Why did I say that? She asked.
"I'll leave you guys be—Oh and I almost forgot." Mr. Delmas took something out of his pocket. "Your mobile," He handed it to Aelita.
"Thanks." She put it in her pocket.
"No problem." He closed her door and left.
The detectives sat down on chairs and Aelita anxiously sat upon her bed.
"Hello Aelita Stones, how are you?" Mr. Berkly asked.
"Good I guess," Aelita said. Not actually! Aelita thought. I have to be very careful, I can't reveal anything.
"To begin things," Mrs. Jones began while taking out a note book and pen. Mr. Berkly did the same. "We have heard reports about a mysterious lady walking the halls of Kadic." Aelita bit her lip. "Is there a relationship between this women with your attack?" Way to jump into things!
"It could have but I honestly, I don't remember anything from that day." Aelita said with a smirk. It is a good thing she's intelligent.
"So you don't know anything from that day?" Asked Mr. Berkly.
"It seems like it. I was also In a coma for a few hours so my memory can be hazy." Aelita said. "You should write that down on your notebook." To her surprise, they actually did.
"Aelita, I hear that you are a very smart girl." Mr. Berkly said curiously.
"Sure, what about it?" Aelita asked.
"Very intelligent people can be smart enough to make up a new story that fits perfectly in a unique situation."
It's like he read her mind. "You don't believe me?"
"No, I'm just… telling a fact."
"Well, I think you guys are done here because I don't remember anything." Aelita said. The detectives scribbled something in their notebooks.
"If that is your wish," Mrs. Jones said.
"Ok! It was nice meeting you!" Aelita jumped up from her bed and walked over to the door.
"I'm just curious," Mrs. Jones began. "Why are you holding a scissors?" She asked.
Aelita realized that she was still squeezing her scissors in her left hand.
"No reason," Aelita answered. Crap! I should have known. Now they think I'm a freak. They continued to write in their notebooks then they walked over to the door.
"I guess we're done," Mr. Berkly said. "Just contact us when you gain you're memories"
"Here's our card." Mrs. Jones took out card from her pocket and gave it to her.
"I will," Aelita said. More like not, She thought.
Aelita threw them out of her mind and took out her cell phone. She started to go through her previous messages when she comes across something that struck her eye.
The code is your tru calling
Aelita immediately knew what she had to do.
(((Next…)))
Riiinnnngggg! The dismissal bell rang.
Yumi woke up from her day dream and gathered school materials. She yawned and put her stuff in her bag.
"Don't forget to work on your project!" The teacher said.
"Something I would do the night before it is due," Tramis said to Yumi. Yumi realized that someone was talking to her.
"Huh?" Yumi asked.
"Not important."
"Okay then." It turns out that Tramis has been in all of Yumi classes, and she sat next to her in all of them. Weird when you think about it. Yumi grabbed her bag and headed for the door. Tramis quickly gathers her stuff and follows her.
"Wait up!" She said. They approached the hallway and Yumi saw William walking at her direction. Yumi immediately turned around and walked in the other direction. She turned her head down so William wouldn't notice her. Tramis noticed her transition and asked, "Is there something going on between you guys?"
Yumi paused. I don't really know what is going on, Yumi thought. All I did was leave him out in the rain… "Don't worry about it." Yumi said and continued walking.
"Yumi, I kind of what to be friends… with you," She said. Yumi paused and looked at her.
"Really?"
"Ya I think your cool. And I want to get closer to that guy you apparently have nothing going on with." She said.
"I'll think about it." Yumi said.
"Why do you have to think? All you have to do is include me into the group. I saw you and your friend laughing it up during lunch. I'm also new and have no friends. There is absolutely no reason for 'thinking'," She implied.
Okay then, Yumi thought. All I need to do is talk with the gang. "I'm sorry," Yumi began.
Tramis smiled hoping for good news.
"But I will think about it."
Tramis face fell.
"See you later!" Yumi stepped outside, departing from Tramis, and walked towards Jeremy's dorm for their daily discussion about Mrista.
