Snippet #2485047

Akira was taken aback when Aeon spoke. She remembered his name thanks to Cassiopeia introducing him and herself to her prior to the mess. The tall male had never spoke much until now. On the bus was the first time she noticed him, and she hadn't heard a word come from his mouth even when she was conversing with Cassiopeia. Though right now he was speaking at normal rate. She watched him get Keiko to safety, smiling a bit. At least he isn't abandoning her. She seems to be attached to him somewhat.. Though she wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon. She was worried about Kei and Jonathan.. not to mention Silas..whom she still hadn't seen. She gripped the leg pole as she got even more worried, but heer eyes widened as she felt it move in her hands. What the..? She looked up only to see Aeon, jumping out of her skin a bit. I-I zoned out.. She thought to herself, shaking her head in attempt to collect herself, "B-but.." She stammered, unable to explain she was waiting to find her best friend, unable to explain her crush was still somewhere out there.. Dead or alive she had to know. He was always there, regardless of her flaws. How could she abandon him now?

Then she froze, he (Aeon) told her red haired companion (Jonathan) to get her out of here? What the hell?! I'm a senior too.. Just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean I need protected by you guys! She was growing flustered, face red in irritation and embarrassment. Though she fled as soon as she realized everything was going to hell. She fled through the window, but promised herself she'd find a way back inside.. That she'd look for Silas. Though she felt herself waking up before that happened.

--- End Dream ---

Akira gasped, falling out of her seat as she awoke. She now sat in the floor of her classroom, witnessing several students waking, some still sleeping.. or whatever just happened. It was weird.. Though she noticed one student in particular, Kei. She walked over once she'd composed herself, rubbing the back of her neck, "Hey.. it's probably time we talked about yesterday... I've got work soon.. but can we walk together and talk about this...?" She asked giving a smile. If anything, the dream reminded her how quickly someone could be snatched away. Life was like a balloon waiting to pop. She didn't want the fight and events at the drunk party to be the last thing she said to Kei. She wasn't sure if they could ever be friends again, especially due to his growing interest in Devone, but she at least wanted to apologize, bring a little clarity to the situation.

"I realize I've been overreacting a lot this year, and I promise I'll have a handle on it soon.. I just want to explain everything and apologize properly." She replied nervously, "I might not get another chance for awhile.. I've got a lot of stuff to do for Ms. Roselle to make up for pretending to be a boy.. and I work.. So I hope you're free." Her tone was awkward and nervous, and her eyes hadn't met his since she first approached. I've got to get in control of this or everyone is going to hate me...

She gripped her bag on her shoulder, awaiting the taller senior's response. At least this way, she could say she tried to mend her mistakes. Plus she wanted out of the building as soon as possible. The dead bodies, the inhuman groaning, the fights.. It all felt too real. She was definitely done with zombie movies. She felt jumpy as hell. Well there goes my pride.. I'll jump like the girliest of girls at the next zombie flick I watch..
