Heyyy! I know, it's been less than 24 hours since my last update :D Aren't you proud of me? Lolz, I did say that I would update ASAP. BTW, remember when I called the last ch. angsty? 4get that 'cause I think this one is wayyyy more. Enjoy! :)
"Hey, Mo, what's up?" Emilia, shading her eyes with one hand, greeted the B-boy, bathed in reddish-orange light from the already-setting sun, walking towards them. It was almost six o'clock in the evening, and all of the crews had come together to chill at their popular hang out spot, a cafe only a couple blocks from the beach, before catching a bite to eat together. Little did they know that Mo had actually gathered them all together for something more than just eating together.
The truth was that he had invited everyone in hopes of being able to see and talk to the other half of Hi-Def, who seemed to have gone missing. Normally, Mo wouldn't have been concerned since Glitch had obviously just gone to blow off some steam from earlier, but the prodigy hadn't been sighted since he had left Mo's apartment nearly 5 hours previously, and Mo was starting to worry. What if something had happened to him? It would be all Mo's fault, and he wasn't sure how he would be able to live with himself knowing he had put his hopefully-soon-to-be-lover and best friend in danger.
Pushing the unpleasant thought to the back of his mind, Mo answered, "Not much, E. You?"
She shook her head. "Nah, not really. Except for the fact that dork is late again." Emilia rolled her eyes before continuing, "I texted Bodie at least five times."
Mo raised his eyebrow. It wasn't unusual for the blond to be occasionally late, but it wasn't like him not to respond to texts at all. "Tha's kinda weird. Now that I think 'bout it, Glitch hasn't called back either. Wonder what's up."
Emilia shrugged. "Maybe they blew us off to go on a date," she joked, and Mo laughed along with her, though his insides had twisted painfully at the thought. Was Glitch really making up with Bodie? Could the young breaker have forgotten about the sparks that flew between him and Mo so quickly?
Before more depressing thoughts could cloud his mind, Emilia suddenly cried out, "Bodie?" Turning around, Mo saw that it was indeed Bodie's red Corvette–flashing brilliantly from the reflection of the dying sun–that had driven into the parking lot and slid smoothly into an available space. Climbing out, the blond approached them, his golden hair tinted orange in the light, and said, "Hey, sorry I'm late, but I–"
However, his explanation was cut off by his phone ringing. Flashing them an an apologetic look, Bodie answered and said, "Oh, hey, Mai. Yeah, I'm here. Hold on, I'll put you on speaker in a sec."
By this time, all of the other dancers had wandered over to say hello to Bodie, and formed a loose circle so they could all hear when he pressed the speaker button and said, "Okay, Mai, you're on."
"Hey, you guys," said the voice from Bodie's phone. "Look sorry I couldn't make it. I was already on the plane by the time I got the text, and I–"
Now it was Mai's turn to be interrupted, by 'Lil T this time. "Hold up, a sec," she demanded, pushing her way to the front to make sure Mai heard her. "Whaddaya mean you're on a plane? Di'ju ditch jus' 'cause you was scared that we're better dancers 'an you?"
'Lil T's accusation earned her an infuriated glare from her older sister, but Mai didn't seem to mind the accusation. She just replied, "Naw, naw, T. Y'know I'd neva do that t'ya. I hadta go back 'cause o' family business. It was pretty short notice, so I didn' have time t'tell y'guys in person. Sorry 'bout that. 'Sides, I could kick yo butt any day o' the week." At that, Mai laughed good-naturedly to show she was just kidding around, and 'Lil T's face split into grin as well. "Now, s'Glitch there? I got somethin' I gotta tell 'im 'n c'n y'hurry, 'cause I'm pretty sure the flight attendant ain't so happy I got m'phone on."
"Uh, actually," Bodie told her, glancing about, "Glitch isn't here. Where is he, Mo?"
"Dunno. I haven't seen him since 'bout one," Mo answered, trying hard to keep his voice nonchalant despite the worry he felt welling up inside him again. "I've no idea where he's gone. Prolly just chillin' by 'imself o' somethin'."
Suddenly, everyone could hear clacking on Mai's end of the call, like someone typing insanely fast on the keyboard a laptop. Then Mai swore, alternating between English, Filipino, and Korean. "Ah shit, punyeta (fuck it), shi-bal (shit). Dammit, Glitch!"
"What's the matter?" Mo asked instantly, leaning forward towards the phone in alarm. What kind of trouble had Glitch gotten into that was so bad that Mai had to cuss in three different languages?
"I found him."
Welll? What did you guys think of it? Sorry it was so short, but alternating between long and short ch's seems pretty kool…also I just wanted to put a cliffhanger XD Hahahaha, so please review and let me know how I'm doing! THanks sooo much 4 reading and reviewing you guys!
O btw, I just realized I never answered munchymaxter's question in the the review (sorry!), so yeah. Maiya's name is pronounced "my-uh." Thanks 4 reviewing :D
