Chapter two
Kuki picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?"
A female voice. Kuki's hand gripped the phone tighter and swallowed hard. Words couldn't escape her mouth, but she tried.
"Uh, yes, is Wallabee Beatles there?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah, hold on."
Some static came on and a male's voice, Wallabee's voice came on.
"Yeah? Hello?"
She couldn't speak. It was so hard. It was so long ago…
(Flashback)
It was graduation. She was making a speech, she was awarded Valedictorian.
"And I thank my best friends, Nigel, for always pushing me to the limit. Hoagie, who always told me you go to have fun once in a while. Abby, who was always there for my girl problems. Finally, Wally, the love of my life…"
They were dating, and she was madly in love with him. They both were. But what she saw on that stage change her. Wally was kissing another woman. She ran off that stage, crying. She realized that love was a hoax. A faerie tale that parents tell their kids when they're little so they can go to sleep. Ever since that moment, she had never fallen in love again.
(End Flashback)
"Hello?" He said again.
"Uh, hi, it's me. Kuki, Kuki Sanban. You had called me for a Christmas party."
"Kuki? Hey…I didn't think you would call. How are you?"
"Good…you?"
"Oh, great…just great…" He paused.
It was so uncomfortable, the conversation. They both knew what was wrong.
"I need directions." Kuki said quickly.
"Huh?"
"Directions, to get to your house."
She realized then that he still lived in Cleveland. She would need to drive there. It would take eight hours; she would have to leave at four in the morning to get there by noon.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Directions…you have pen and paper?"
She went and got pen and paper, and she copied down the directions he had given her.
"Well, goodbye." She said
"Goodbye?" He had questioned her.
"Yes, it's what you say when you're ready to hang up with someone." She answered back.
"I know, but I didn't think…" He stopped.
"What? Didn't think what?"
"Never mind. I'll see you tomorrow."
She hung up. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
That's it! I know it was really short but I have no idea for the next chapter. Please help!
