Chapter 3- Saturday
Before anyone knew it the week had ended and Saturday was here. People were out doing things that school would not permit. Holding hands, gambling, watching tv even. Life was going normal even for Nika and Nima. They were out on the mountaintops looking down towards the small town. A cliff that Nika had come to often was their first stop. The view was astonishing with clouds scattered throughout the sky.
"Wow Nika! It's so beautiful up here." It was obvious that she was also happy.
"If you say so. It hasn't changed much. Time isn't an issue for me. Days roll by one at a time, but this never changes. The people change it, not the scenery itself." Nika looked serious sitting right at the edge with his feet hanging over.
"What?"
"Oh never mind. It's nothing really."
"I'm confused."
"Well there's nothing to be confused about. I tried sounding philosophical only to fail miserably at it."
Right after saying that, Nika felt his head hurt again. When he grabbed his head the pain only got worse. Something was happening, but Nika had no idea what it was. Nima was scared for her new friend. She kneeled beside him and asked if he was ok. Nothing got through to him. This was something he couldn't handle, or prevent.
