Chapter 12: ConfrontationA Chapter by Emunah June.Well, this was embarrasing.
I decide to play the dumb card. "I was?"
"Yes," Koda says, "you were." I blink. "Oh..well...I can't remember what it was..." She smiles. "Ah. Okay."
I wipe my forehead when she turns around. That was a close one.
I blush. What if she found out what I was dreaming about? Would she think I was a freak? Or would she smile and laugh it off? I gasp outloud. What if she secretly LIKED it?? WHAT IF SHE SECRETLY LIKED ME??!!
I shake my head. No, no, no. She doesn't.
I close my eyes. What was with that sewn-lip girl? Who was she? And what did Koda mean when she asked me if she was the right one to chase?
Why was I chasing after her at all?
Koda stands up, her face a pale green. "Uh oh...baby isn't too happy. I think I'm gonna..gonna..." she starts, but then staggers and falls to the floor. A second later, brown and yellow vomit splashes against the floor. I gasp, but am too weak to help her stand. She sits there, vomiting and vomiting and vomiting. I feel helpless to help her.
When she's finished, she stands up and begins to shamefully blush. "I'm going to go grab some towels to clean that up. I'm so sorry," she whispers sorrowfully. Hanging her head, she leaves my room. I lower my gaze. Poor thing. It must be hard to carry another human inside of you. I pat my stomach. I'll never know the feeling.
At least, I better not. If I do, there are some SERIOUS medical problems involved.
Brother walks in. "Hey Alphonse, guess wha---eww. What happened in here?" he asks, plugging his nose. I cast him a concerned gaze. "Koda threw up. She went to go get some cleaning supplies," I answer, and I cover my nose too. Oh goodness, that's rancid!
Brother drops his face in embarrasement. "Oh. Whoops. My bad. I'd better go find her to make sure she's okay."
So he leaves. And I'm alone again.
I look out the window and stare at the clouds.
One is shaped like a car. I think of Ayumi. © 2011 Emunah June.Reviews
