Chapter 6
A Way to Pass the Time
Aia: sighs I wish Krys would hurry up with the typing. I'm doing all the work right now. I write the chapters and Krys types them up!
Krys: Shut up! I do have a lot of homework you know.
Aia: You could at least try and type them instead of trying to work on multiple fanfics at once.
Krys: Hehe…oops…
The next few weeks went smooth for Krys. Enrique tried many times to flirt with her but failed miserably at each attempt. Oliver and Krys had become good friends. She also became acquainted with Johnny and Robert.
Krys sat boredly in English class. Her teacher asked them to look up some information on the internet for their projects. Her laptop sat open on her desk but she didn't feel like working. She got the bright idea to start a forum. She e-mailed it to Oliver, Enrique, Johnny and Robert. They joined immediately and browsed through the forum. The teacher passed by to look at the work they were doing and how far they progressed. All five of them immediately opened their other window and pretended like nothing was going on.
As soon as the teacher left they opened the window to the site. The site was called Moon's Shadow and the site address was . (Aia: Lol. Sadly this is our real site if you guys want to check it out. I'm aia and Krys is Freya. Don't forget to introduce yourself in the Newbie Area if you register) Krys used the name Freya, Enrique used theMan, Oliver used Paris, Johnny used toughguy and Robert used Griffin. They were on the Off Topic section and their convo went something like this:
Freya: Welcome to my site! Have fun on this thread!
theMan: Hey Freya! Want to go out with me?
Paris: Oh, you're
subtle! Why don't you leave her alone?
Freya: TheMan, I told you
I'm not going out with you!
toughguy: You guys are weird and why aren't you doing you english work?
Freya: Because it's boring! Hold on, I'll post a picture of our teacher. (picture posted)
The three boys burst out laughing. The teacher walked over to investigate. They all immediately opened the other window. Eventually the teacher walked off again.
Freya: You guys didn't have to laugh so loud. You almost got us caught.
Paris: snickers Sorry, it was just too funny.
Griffin: You do know this is a bad idea.
theMan: So what? It's fun!
Griffin: We didn't come to this school to have fun.
theMan: Party pooper!
toughguy: I already finished the assignment.
Freya: Shut up!
Paris: Yeah, what she said.
toughguy: Oh, just thought I'd tell you that the teacher's coming back.
theMan: St.
Luckily he bell rang at that very moment so everyone left in a hurry. They couldn't continue their convo til after gym class.
Aia spent the next few weeks hiding in Kovu's room. Kiara's room was way too close to their mom's room and the living room. Aia had also found out that Kovu and Kiara's mother wasn't exactly the motherly person you'd expect her to be. She couldn't care less if her children were alive or dead. Aia sat quietly on Kovu's bed waiting for them to finish supper. She heard screams coming from the kitchen and she heard a bottle smash. Kovu and Kiara ran into the room with cut across their face. They urged Aia to climb out of the window and stay hidden. Aia did as she was told just as their mom burst into the room. Aia huddled under the window sill out of sight.
"Where is she!" their mother asked, her temper rising.
"Mom, I told you there is no one here!" Kovu yelled. His mother smacked him across the face knocking him to the ground. Kiara cried as their mother tore the room apart.
"I know you were hiding a girl from me!" their mother shouted. She breathed heavily and decided to give up her search. "If I ever find her, she'll be sorry," their mother hissed and slammed the door on her way out. Kovu leaned against his bed and sighed. Aia timidly climbed back into the room.
"Are you guys okay?" she whispered looking at the gash on Kiara's arm.
"It's nothing," Kiara said covering her arm. Aia began to cry silently. Kovu looked at her surprised.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's all my fault that this happened to you," she whispered.
"No, it isn't," Kovu said.
"Yes it is. If I wasn't here, your mother wouldn't have done this to you."
"She'd have done it anyways, for some other stupid reason," Kiara said grimly. They heard Kiara's mother snoring loudly on the couch.
"That's it," Kovu said getting up. Aia and Kiara looked at him. "We're leaving, right now."
"No, we can't," Kiara said.
"Do you honestly want to stay here?" Kovu asked. Kiara looked at the cut on her arm.
"Let's go." Kovu and Kiara packed what little things they did have and snuck out of the window. Aia followed quietly behind them.
"Where are we going to go?" Aia asked.
" I don't know," Kovu said. "But anywhere is better than there." That night the three of them slept in an ally way, curled against the cold. In the morning they found some elderly people staring at them.
"Are you three lost?" asked an old man.
"Uhhh…no, not really," Kovu replied getting up.
"Would you like me to call your folks?" the old man asked.
"No, it's okay…we don't really have parents. I have a grandmother in China though. Could you let me call her?" Aia asked.
"China eh? I guess we could let you make that call. In the mean time, why don't you kids come to our house so you can warm up and get some food," an old lady offered. She noticed the bruises on Kovu and Kiara. "And we'll those cuts cleaned up too."
Aia: I was in a depressing mood and I had no clue how me and Kiara were going to end up living together at the age of 15. Oh well, hope you enjoyed ths chapter and please review!
Krys: Bye bye for now.
Kiara: sniffles It was so sad…
