Chapter 19: A Day of Fun and Hangouts
So after some time passed, with a lot of thinking and making a lot of decisions on what to wear and how I should be for the hang out day, I finally thought that I was fully ready and kinda mentally prepared on having a good time, and nothing was gonna wrong…
Or so I hoped, that nothing was gonna go wrong…
Well, let's just see then and I will cross my fingers for good luck, just in case…
––––
So, at the hangout area (which just happened to be the mall), I could feel myself starting to get really, really nervous. I mean, it was just a hangout with a friend right? Nothing was gonna go bad right, so there was no need to be nervous, right?
Well, tell that to my panicking mind, who was going into ballistic at the moment, thinking I was on a date or something…
"Hey, Miss. Lyra? Is there something wrong?" As I heard the voice of Daisuke say to me, as i turned my attention to Daisuke, while staring at him with a "derp eye look", feeling like an idiot at the moment.
We had just sat down at a table in the food court of the mall, after spending a few hours looking at different stores, like the bookstore, the art supplies store and a small little arcade like shop that had a few games that we tried out, before deciding to take a small little break for a snack…
"Eh? What? I'm, sorry, I kinda spaced out….what did you say?" I asked him, wanting to facepalm at my reaction. Talk about the worst and stupidest timings ever, I just had to space out, didn't i? I'm an such an idiot…
"Well, I was a little worried, that something was on your mind, since you didn't touch your ice cream yet…" Daisuke said, as he pointed a finger at my ice cream in a dish, which was slowly melting at the moment. I looked at my poor cookie dough ice cream, as it wasn't getting at this time and started to quickly eat it, to help it at least from melting into ice cream soup.
––––
"Oh, crap, my ice cream is melting…its okay, I'm alright…" I said, in between bites of my ice cream, not caring that I was eating a little too fast.
"Um, Miss. Lyra, I don't think you should eat it that fast…you could get a brain freeze…" Daisuke started to say, as I took a third bite and put my ice cream dish down, giving him a smile.
"Nah, I won't get a brain freeze, not with this little dish. It would have to be a little bigger for it to give me a brain freeze…" I said, as Daisuke looked at me funny like.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking, um, just exactly how much bigger?" He asked, as he looked a little worried for some reason. I thought for a second, before I answered him with this:
"Um, let's see…about maybe between a pint and a gallon I think…"
….
…
"BETWEEN A PINT AND A FREAKING GALLON OF ICE CREAM?!" Daisuke yelled out, his face totally freaked out at my answer. 'YOU CAN EAT THAT MUCH ICE CREAM IN A DAY?"
"Oh, not just one…about a couple of those, max is probably three or so…" I said, still with the smile on my face. Daisuke's face suddenly froze as he his brain must be trying to figure out the thing I had just said and wonder if it was possible for a normal human to do that. I stared at him for a few minutes, before a little snicker came from me, which turned into a round of giggles.
Daisuke snapped out of his frozen state, as he looked at me, with a questionable look.
"Um, Miss. Lyra, why are you laughing?" Daisuke asked, as I tried to calm down some of my laughing down.
"It's because…you had a funny expression on your face, that I couldn't help but laugh." I said, as I tried some more to calm myself down. "I'm sorry, if I laughed like that, like I was making fun of you…I wasn't trying to do that at all, if you know what I mean…"
"I know Miss. Lyra, you don't seem to be the kind of person who would do something like that." Daisuke said, as he gave me a smile, knowing that he believed what I said and knew that I wasn't laughing at him as a way of teasing him….
––––
So, after that, we started to talk for a little bit, mostly him asking questions about my life before I moved to his home town. I told him that I had lived in America for most of my life but I was born in Berlin, Germany, and had moved to America when I was about 2 ½ years old. My brother had helped me with all the transfer and moving papers for me to live in town (along with my Mom who I haven't seen for a bit of a long while)….
"You have a brother and a mom, Miss. Lyra?" Daisuke said, as I nodded my head at him, as I reached into my messenger bag styled purse and pulled out a small little booklet locket. I opened the booklet locked and handed it to Daisuke, for him to see. Inside the booklet locket, was a picture of me, with an older looking guy that had the same hair and eye color as me, but his hair was more darker shaded with red highlights running through it. On the other side of the booklet locket, was a picture of me, the older guy and a woman who looked like an older version of me, smiling pretty like.
"The guy is my older brother, Hansel, and the woman is my mom, Natasha." I explained to him, pointing out the people in the pictures. "Before you ask, I don't have any pictures of my dad, since I don't know anything about him. my memory of him, is kinda fuzzy, so I can't tell you a thing about him…I'm sorry, if you wanted to know more…" I held out my hand for the booklet locket back, as he gave it back to me, as I put it back in my purse for safe keeping.
"I understand how that must feel, Miss. Lyra. My dad hasn't been around much for most of my life either, since he was gone for almost 12 whole years…and just shows up, outta the blue one day, at our house…" Daisuke said, as I guessed that we almost had the same problems, but with different settings…
"I see. Guess the world isn't as closed off as most people think…" I said, as I gave him a smile. "Oh, and Daisuke, I was just wondering, could you not call me 'Miss. Lyra? It makes me sound kinda weird. You could just call me Lyra, since most of my old friends used to call me that…"
"Okay, I guess,..Lyra…." He said, as he got a little bit of a pink dust on his cheeks, like he was blushing at saying that. I giggled at his reaction, as he started freaking out, like he was embarrassed to be blushing like that in front of girl.
Well, maybe this is one friend, I am gonna like having around, since we seemed to be getting along so well….
––––
Soon, we continued to talk some more, until it was getting really late and that I would need to go home and get ready for the next school, since the test that I had been worried about before was coming up soon (in two days) and I hadn't studied at all for it.
(but Daisuke, Risa, Risa's friend Megan, Riku, Cara, and a few other kids from class were kind enough to make a book of notes, so I could study them and get a little prepared for the tests...*they all gave Daisuke the notes, so he could give them to me when we met for the hangout*)
With some of the class-study notes, I saw it divided into sections…(done by Riku who organized them that way) so, they went something like this:
-Riku worked on the first section which was Math, writing the math problems and helpful tips on some parts…
-Amy and Sara (Riku's friend, who are sisters, but not twins) wrote the parts for English Lit and English Grammar…
-Risa wrote some drama notes and tips, with a few little doddles (don't know why, but she also put down her cellphone number, along with Riku's, if I got stuck anywhere)….
-Megan (The short blond haired- light blue eyed girl, who is Risa's friend), wrote the notes for home ecs,( since she and Risa are in the same cooking class, which I guessed Risa wasn't so good at)…
-Cara (the medium-short brown haired, brown eyed girl) wrote the notes for History, Writing them very detailed like, along with helpful tips…
-Daisuke wrote the last parts, which included any other missed parts/tip-hints that I might forget , along with some random teacher notes...(there was a few 'good luck' messages from Risa and Riku's other friends-Mark, Tonya, and someone who's handwriting was hard to read, but looked to be writing 'good luck for the test')
As I looked over the notes for a few minutes, trying to make sense of some of them, I noticed one page at a list of everyone's phone numbers, in case I needed to ask for some more help if none of the notes made any sense or if I didn't get it…
While I had been looking at the notes and was about to say my goodbyes to Daisuke, I felt a cold shiver run down my back…
A shiver that made me feel like I was being watched…
I looked around to see where or who was making me feel this way, as I saw someone who thought looked very familiar:
A woman with light golden colored skin, like the rays of the sun, who had reddish-golden hair that grew dark at the ends of her hair and deep-red eyes, almost like the color of blood. She wore a short mini jacket, long thin pants that had a loose belt around her waist, knee high boots with a high heel and a tank top underneath the jacket that showed some of her skin in many places, that was all in colors of white...
White colored clothes and with that hair-eye colors, she looked so familiar…
And also, dangerous- that the woman, that was known as Saiyori…
I knew that she might be looking for me, as I saw her turn a corner and disappear, like she vanished into thin air. As I tried to hide my fear and said my goodbyes to Daisuke, I didn't it show, that I might be in danger, because I wanted to try and handle this myself…
While I walked away, I thought of what I could do, to make myself not get caught in a fight with her. Whatever I thought I knew, that was doing to protect my friend…
Yes, I considered Daisuke to be a friend and I would do everything to make sure, that he wouldn't get caught in a crossfire, that was about to be formed…
––––
"Hey, Daisuke? Do you sense that?" Daisuke heard the voice of Dark calling to him in his mind, as it caught him off guard.
"Sense what? What's wrong Dark?" Daisuke asked, wondering what was wrong.
"That woman…Saiyori…she's here and she seems to be after someone…." Dark said, as his ability to sense supernatural things always kicked in a lot faster sometimes, if the power was strong enough. "Daisuke! I think she might be after Lyra! Hurry up and go after her!"
"After Miss. Lyra, but why?" Daisuke asked, not fully understanding.
"No time for questions, just hurry and go! She might be in danger! Hurry and get to her, before that woman does!" Dark said, as Daisuke guessed that he should just do what Dark says and go after her. So he started running, trying to catch up to Lyra as fast as he could…
Inu: so, here is the end of chapter 19. wow, it looks like something is going on, since Saiyori as made a little appearance again…*guess she might be up to no good again* and I got to make the chapter a little emotional, with adding the part about Lyra's family (I might add some more with that, but nothing is written or done yet, since it will be an idea on the progress board.)
Lyra: well, keep her away from me! I don't want to deal with her…I hope I can stay away from her until the next chapter or so…
Anyway please support and review, so till next time:
SEE YOU ALL IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Otaku Luv~InuyashaMoonlight634=^-^=~
