Chapter four
The sweltering sun seemed to be frying the air inside the stuffy grubby truck where Sora was desperately trying to fan her self. Even as she waved her journal infront of her face it just seemed to push even hotter air on to her. Oh god what she wouldn't give for some air conditioning or some snow right now. She had never felt this hot in her whole life. She was sure her skin was actually baking in this intense heat. She couldn't take much more of this.
" How long have we been here?" Yolei groaned as she dangled her torso backwards over the edge of her seat.
" One and a half hours," The ever-informative Joe told her,
" It feels like centuries. Where the hell did that driver go," She snapped,
One and a half hours ago the rickety old bus they had been riding in, to get to their hotel had suddenly taken a turn for the worst. Steam had come pouring from the engine and the old truck had finally broken down, in the middle of absolutely no where. The driver had looked at the engine thoughtfully and then told them he would have to walk to the next town to get some one to fix it. The next town happened to be two hours away by foot.
Sora and her friends had sat and laid around the bus trying to find some position they could keep cool in. It was like sitting inside an oven in this old tin can. No one was feeling very sociable or relaxed. Every word that had been spoken was a bitter comment on whose fault this situation must be.
" Someone should have gone with him," T.K mumbled as he glanced at his watch.
" Well look on-" Mimi started to say brightly,
" Mimi if you dare to tell me to look on the bright side of one more thing I will shove my back pack where it ain't ever been bright before," Yolei told her calmly,
" I was only trying to cheer you up. We're all just as hot as you are Yolei," Mimi muttered bitterly,
" How about we play a game?" T.k suggested,
" Oh and I suppose you just happen to have a twister mat in your bag?" Yolei asked sarcastically,
" Not that type of game Yolei," Sora said quietly. The heat was making her head pond like someone was smacking her with a mallet. Her stomach acids felt like they were boiling up inside of her, she was sure she could barf at any minute.
" I think a game would be a good idea," Cody commented, " It will take our minds off the heat for a little while.
" Ooooooooo! I know a great game, let's play truth!" Mimi exclaimed, that perky smile spreading across her face once again.
" Truth?" Sora asked raising her eyebrows,
" Yeah its kind of like truth or dare, but you only ask one question and everyone has to answer it,"
" Sounds good," Joe mumbled from underneath one of the bench like seats, where he had found a little bit of shade,
" Okay I've got a great question," Mimi's grin widened, a mischievous glint came into her eye," Have you ever been in love? And I'm going to first asssssssssssssssssk . . . . .Yolei!"
" Huh?" Yolei muttered,
" Go on Yolei you have to answer the question," Mimi pestered her,
" Hmmm... I had this huge crush on my brothers friends for about three years," A thoughtful smile spread across her gloomy face," He had this gorgeous red hair and these wonderful black eyes. But he thought that I was just my brothers stupid little sister. He never even gave me a sideways glance, unless my brother was mocking me. But then last year I started going out with this guy, he was a year older than I was and he was soooooooo fine. I couldn't believe he actually liked me. But after awhile I started to get bored with him. We always talked about really stupid things over and over again, like cheese. After a while we just ran out of things to say, we didn't have anything in common. And it just begun to get really boring, so I broke it off,"
" Was he devastated," Mimi asked giggling,
" Nah, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, okay see ya around. I've been on loads of dates and stuff, but I've never been serious with anyone to call it love,"
" Ah poor Yolei. I'm sure you'll meet your prince charming one-day. Okay now the all powerful Mimi choosessssssssssssssssssss . . . . .Cody!"
" Me?"
" Yeah go on Co, tell us all,"
" Well . . ." He blushed slightly, " I started going out with a girl for three years when I was fifteen. We got on really well, she was in my class at school. I thought that she was perfect. We used to do everything together, we were best friends not just boy friend and girl friend. But then after high school she wanted to go off to college and I wanted to come on this trip. We just . . .we decided that a long distance relationship wouldn't work. So we broke up,"
" Ahhh poor Cody," Yolei cooed,
" I guess I did kind of love her," He said, his voice barely audible,
" Ahh poor little Cody. Do you think you'll get back together when you go home?" Mimi asked,
" I don't know. She'll still be at college. She's probably met some other guy. We're still friends though. I could never loose her as a friend. Okay now I get to ask Mimi, shoot,"
" Me! Well . . . No I don't think I have. I've been out with tons of guys but none of them have meant very much. You know they just like to fool around, not really looking for a relationship. But I am going to fall in love,"
" You sound very certain," Sora inquired,
" That's cause I am. I had my future read a year ago and this spooky lady told me I was going to meet the love of my life abroad. And here I am abroad, so I'm going to find him. That's one of the reasons I came on this trip in the first place,"
" Mimi you came because some weird old woman told you, you were going to fall in love!" T.K sniggered,
" Yeah and cause my dad was paying. Alright Mr T.K your turn,"
" Okay I had a really big crush on this girl that lives down the street from my Mums apartment last year. I asked her out loads of times, I sent her a dozen red roses on Valentines Day and a huge teddy bear with a really expensive silver necklace on her birthday. I had to save up for month's weeks to afford all of the things I brought her. But every time I suggested we should get together she would just say ' Maybe', 'I'm kind of busy', 'I'll think about it'. I thought that I was in love, but after about 6 months I got fed up and just stopped asking. Then I realised what a jerk she was for not giving me a straight answer and I decided that I really didn't like her anymore. The ironic thing is one day just before I left home, she came over my house and asked if I wanted to go and see a movie with her. So I said 'I'll think about it' and shut the door in her face. That has got to be the most satisfying thing I have ever done,"
" Nice one T.K!" Yolei laughed,
" Thank you, thank you," He grinned taking a little bow,
" Alright now it's our ickle Sora's turn," Mimi smiled at her wickedly,
" No," Sora told them blankly as she stared up at the metal ceiling,
" No what?"
" No I've never been in love,"
" What never?" Yolei asked,
" Never,"
" Haven't you even had a crush or anything? Come on Sora you must have some story to tell,"
" I've had stupid little crushes that never amounted to anything, but that's it,"
" Well that was pretty quick," Mimi frowned at her read haired friend, " Okay Joe's turn!"
" Do I have to?" he groaned from under one of the seats,
" Yes now get on with it!"
" Do I really really have to?"
" YES!"
" Alright . . . I think I was in love a couple of summers ago with this girl in my apartment block. We got on really well and all that mush. But then she moved away and I never saw her again,"
" Is that it?" Yolei asked,
" I've been out on a couple of dates with some girls I used to be friends with. But I've never really amounted to anything,"
" Ain't it funny how a moment can change your life? " Sora whispered dreamily,
" What?" T.K asked her curiously,
" I mean how one reaction or one moment can just totally change the way your life was going. How fate suddenly steps in and changes your whole life. And you don't seem to know what's wrong or right, you just do what fate is guiding you too,"
" Sora what are you talking about?" Yolei asked carefully,
" I was just thinking about before I left home. I had this huge fight with my b. . .my best friend, we both said some things that I didn't think we would ever say to each other. Things that I never wanted to say. But the stuff we said made me come on this trip. If I hadn't, I mean if we hadn't both been so mean to each other I would have never come on this trip. It's sort of like fate was guiding me to come here. Like I'm meant to be here. If that moment had never happened we would have probably apologised to each other and I would still be back in Japan,"
" Yes I suppose it is funny how life works out," Cody said quietly as the others nodded. He had the weirdest sensation that Sora was hiding something. There was something deeper to what she was telling them. A more powerful emotion was being locked up behind her calm exterior. But he had the feeling they would find out what it was soon enough.
Authors note- Mwaahahaa still keeping you hanging huh? Well your just going to have to wait until the next chapter comes out very very soon. Thank you soooooo much for all of your, reviews I really do love hearing what people think of this story, so keep R+R! (
