It was Christmas Eve. The warm breeze felt good on her face. Standing on the balcony of her hotel room, Akira could see everything. The beach, the ocean, the beautiful sunset, all blended in perfect harmony in the orange glow of the sun. Still, something was missing. And she knew what it was.
The others had suggested that during Christmas break, she should get away from it all, and take a vacation. Not wanting them to worry, she had agreed, and now she was in Hawaii, and it was great. All except the fact that she wasn't enjoying herself. She couldn't stop thinking about Izzy, and nothing seemed to keep her mind preoccupied. The scuba-diving, the treasure-hunts, the days spent lying in the sun, it was just another thing to do. Not some once-in-a-lifetime chance, no... "It's just not the same without him," she thought out loud. Yes, she was still mad at him. But still, she couldn't help but miss the boy-genius. She sighed. "Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo?" she quoted. Then she heard a familiar voice.
"Well," it said. "He might be..." a figure stepped out of the shadows. "Right here."
Ok, ok, so it's short. Like I said in chapter 7, I thought it'd keep you on the edge of your seat for a while. "Suspense is a writer's friend, but a reader's enemy." I heard that from Ashi-sama, I think. Who knows where SHE got it from. Anyway, please, r/r!
