Their eyes Watching God

I disclaim all of these characters.

11. Counting Stars

With stripped naked dolls, stickers, princess outfits, make up kits, glitter, hearts, assorted colorful ribbons and dress up all sprawled out on the floor made of linoleum. Two girls were laying down on the floor, on their backs as they stared up at the off white painted wall. With nothing else better to do for the past five minutes, Ayame sat up and crawled to her window, swearing to have seen something sparkle in the night sky.

"I think I saw a star." She chirped as Kagura rolled around and crawled over. "You thought you saw what?"

"A star Kagura, a pretty little golden star like in those fairytale books Mommy always reads to me." She told her while Kagura gasped.

"Where'd you see them?" she asked as she stepped out and sat on the fire escape, grasping unto the bars.

Ayame carefully climbed out with her, clutching unto her white stuffed dog for she was dreadfully scared of heights. "Up there!" she pointed.

Kagura grinned up and kicked her striped stockings around. "What about a shooting star? Did you ever see any of those before?"

Ayame shook her head.

"I did once. Wished for my mom to come pick me from school." She said as she leaned back.

"Oh…Did it come true?" the little girl asked.

"Yup, the day after and then the whole week! I was so happy that day." She chirped while Ayame slowly sat beside her.

"Think if I wished for Kouga to like me, he will?" she asked, looking over to her older friend.

"Yeah I guess so." She said, pausing abit knowing how easy it was to make her cry. "Just gotta say it to yourself in your mind though."

Ayame nodded, closed her eyes, did so and gasped. "Look Kagura! There's another one!"
