Kiri's Conscience Gets the Better of Her |

"Kiri?" Aya said quietly. I looked up from my notebook to see Aya standing in the doorway between the bathroom and my bedroom, wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping. My breath caught and heart accelerated, as it usually did when she suddenly appeared. She glanced at the small pile of clothes next to me. I realized instantly what she was after.
"Oops! Sorry, Aya! I completely spaced!" I leaped to my feet, grabbing the clothes as I did. The notebook hit the floor with an interesting papery crunch. Aya looked at it curiously as my cheeks burned with embarrassment. Quickly, to distract her from it, I hopped and darted over and around the junk on my floor, skittering to a stop with my face just inches from hers. "Here's your PJs," I grinned. I held them up in front of me, my heart racing even more at our proximity. As she took them, her towel made an escape attempt. She caught it before it really went anywhere, blushing. I laughed softly at the wayward towel and her expression.
So sweet. So beautiful. For an instant, time froze, and my mind sped. My stories I had been reading were the outlet for expressing my unattainable desire for so long, but now the unattainable was within reach. It wouldn't be difficult. I'd already poured out most of my soul, my deepest feelings, to her. How difficult would it be to express this one last insignificant part?
But that was exactly what it was: insignificant. My tiny desire had no bearing on the rest of it. It was a rare, passing thought, potent though it could be, and it had no impact on being in love with her. That feeling did not change whether the desire was present or not. One silly, physical want was completely insignificant next to what I truly wanted: her happiness.
Time unfroze, and I stepped back from Aya. I smiled joyfully at her before darting back to my original perch, retrieving my notebook in the process. She smiled back before retreating to the bathroom and shutting the door. As soon as she was gone, I chucked the notebook across the room to my trash can. It made another satisfying when it landed in the bottom of the can. I leaned back against my pillows and sighed peacefully. Life was seriously wonderful~
It's a little rough. It's total crap. And it's basically my brain flicking me off. I had started off thinking I could sidestep my writer's block by putting myself in as Kiri, first-person and all. I just let this stuff flow. And before I knew it, Kiri was backing down. I mean, she's doing exactly what I would do, but the thought processes are slightly different. You'd THINK that Kiri wouldn't be able to stop herself from kissing Aya, being THAT FRIGGIN' CLOSE. But no. She doesn't even consider it. She thinks through everything else, decides it doesn't matter, and retreats. Jumps right to the end, decides it's insignificant, and doesn't consider the beginning. a sub n is less than b sub n, b sub n converges, therefore a sub n converges -.- DAMN CALCULUS TWO D<
Also, Dr. Smith=Mr. Foss. Or something really close.
I'm going to be in physics class and lab with Bonnie. I thought I wouldn't be too happy if that happened, but I actually don't mind. She's not so bad. Granted, she was recovering from being sick, but still. I think physics will be cool. I didn't ask if she was as insane as me and taking Cal III honors, but I bet she is ^_^
I got all my classes for next semester, so I'm all set. Now December just needs to get here so I can go home! Oh, and writer's block needs to go die.
