Kill the Lights
"Hi then, Riku. That's an interesting name…"
"Well so is Namine."
"I guess. Uh, do you live nearby?"
"Uh, yeah. Kind of."
"Kind of?"
"Well…I live in town. Not really near here though."
"Is it going to take a while to get back to..uh…where you live?" Namine hoped he would say yes.
"I guess it will. I didn't realize I was that far from home…"
Awesome. Wait, was she really about to ask him this?"Do you need a place to stay tonight?" Oh well, she did it anyway.
"Oh, uh… nah, I think I'll be fine."
Her face flushed brightly.
"Oh ok. I was just wondering." She said it quickly, to hurry the conversation.
The boy looked down.
"Well uh, I should get going. Nice meeting you."
He got up and left. Namine let the rest of the blood flow to her face. She heard her heart thumping, felt the pulse fast in her veins. She wanted to scream. It was a stupid move, asking him that. She wanted to run away. But mostly she wanted him to come back. She felt stupid again. After all, she'd just met the boy! And still, she knew she would see him again. So she was able to sleep at least a little that night. Of course, there was the usual tear or two. Or five or six sobs. But don't tell anyone you know.
Author's Note:
Warning: I had a sort of writer's block when I wrote this. I don't think it' s the best one. I used the word uh too much. I know, don't remind me… I had no idea what to make them say! Don't judge me… Sigh, that's it for the author's note.
