GOSH DANGIT, JANAE, GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER.
*Insert random fact about my life containing five quizzes a day every week, overload homework, guitar, flute, karate, dance, acting, singing, reading, trips, essays that take weeks of process, school surveys, cooking and sewing, or auditions.*
IMPORTANT: New poll! It's been up for a while, too, but I forgot to say anything about it last time when I left you with a mini cliffy. ^-^ So, yeah, when I get a decent amount of votes (if you guys could also suggest that for me. Helps the improvement), I'll put up the next poll, already set up. Maybe after 5 - 10 votes would be fine for the first... Yes, yes, then maybe afterward for the 2nd one, 8 - 18 or less...
To Be Back
Chapter 6
Blank.
It ran through her head.
Blank.
To others, it was simple. It meant a spot missing, or space that was just waiting, eagerly to be filled.
Blank.
To her though, it was so much more.
To her it was still a space. Yes, that space was, too, waiting patiently to be filled, to have a meaning. To not just be empty.
To her, to blank was about two -
"Ah..." Akari soothingly breathed out. She was out. False alarm. Somehow, once more, she managed to save herself. Now, she had nothing to worry about and she would leave the restaurant safely.
Renee glanced at her. "Huh, what?"
Akari turned her head at her. She shook her head. "Nothing. Why? Did you hear something odd or out of place?"
The other girl waved it off. "Never mind." "Okay." Akari didn't question it. She motioned a nod to the guys. The two turned the their attention toward the boys. They seemed to be either arguing or having a full out discussion.
SOME DISCUSSION.
To figure out whatever they were talking about and butt in, of course, Akari tried to gain their attention. She poked them each in the shoulder in a sequence, one time every three counts. Nothing. She then tried waving her hands in a childish motion, back and forth, letting her hands bounce lazily a bit before continuing to the other side, left or right. It practically turned into a little dance. Once more, nothing.
She gave Renee a "Really?" expression. It was quickly and smoothly replace with a half grin and sneaky eyes. Akari leaned forward toward the center of the table. She propped herself up on her tan elbows, and held up her skull with her palms holding her chin and cheeks and fingers curled in. She pretended to look intensely interested in what they were discussing. Each time one would start to pry open their mouths, she'd sharply turn to them and nod.
Soon enough, after only a few mouths opening, they paused. Before the two males were an "amused" Akari and a getting-tired-of-the-situation-at-hand Renee. Akari was still staring at them wide eyed. Renee was already leaning on the table, arms folded. Her eyes were somewhat bored, but she was awake from witnessing her cousin's silly and strange to the outside world antics.
"Yes...?" Owen questioned.
Akari, still as is, responded. "Whatcha guys shouting about?"
"Axes and hammers!" Luke answered her, enthusiasm in his voice.
She facepalmed. Right arm flat against the simple surface of the small wooden object and left hand shielding her face, along with her long, tumbling down hair. Renee had the slightest sign of a sweatdrop.
Akari opened her eyes and viewed past her fingers. In her sight were two confused boys and a on the line of stress Renee.
"Aye..." She groaned.
