July 14 (thurs) 5:30-6 in her room
Kiti sat at her desk reading her e-mail. She loved her laptop, the company made them standard in a variety of colors and hers was lavander. It was top of the line and brand new, a gift for her birthday, and while the little martian on the front also was standard on all MartianTech computers, the rhinstone tiarra and sceptre probably weren't. As she looked at the page showing all of her unread mail she noticed that several of them were from her best friend in America. She felt mildly guilty for a moment realizing that she hadn't emailed Maddie since the first day at Gakuin. Not too guilty though, after all she had
been busy, between new classes, finals, lessons with Hikaru and Junichi, and the schoolwork her teachers were piling on (apparently they were worried the students would get bored with summer break almost here!) she really hadn't had time to deal with e-mailing anyone, not even Maddie. Well she'd remedy that right now, and started on the first letter.
"So was your second day any better?? Anything would be better than here, you know how the heat makes me. I signed up for surfing lessons, I thought that hitting the beach and getting out of the house would be better than rotting around here with nothing but my deranged brain to keep me company.... I really miss you sometimes, you always have great ideas to keep me from getting bored...talk to you later! BFF Maddie"
"Hey whats up? I met this cute guy surfing today, he seemed really nice, but I got a major anxiety attack when I tried to talk to him. I almost DROWNED!!!... I wish you were here to talk to, you would have had him treating us to lunch and introducing his friends in minutes.....Sometimes I don't think anything rattles you, I wish I were more like you... ("Yeah she should have seen me on Monday" Kiti thought ruefully) Anyways write me, or better yet call!... Miss you, Maddie
"Happy Birthday!!!!! Whats up with you? Suddenly you don't have time for your old friends? LOL just kidding, I know you're busy....So what's it like being 15? Remember all the things we used to say we'd do on our 15th birthdays? Lets see, pierce our ears, go to a high scool part and get drunk, get full body tattoos, travel the world, what else... Well I guess I only have about 6 days left myself, what do you think can I do it? Call me, I have some news for you!... talk to you later, Maddie"
"You must be really busy, I don't think we've ever gone this long between letters before, whats going on?... I saw that cute guy at the beach today, I almost talked to him but I just couldn't...I've been having those nightmares again, I keep reliving those two days with that perv. I really wish I could talk to you, you always understood me better than anyone else, I never have to pretend around you. Or maybe it's just easier to pretend with you... Maybe you can come down during your break that would be cool... Anyways call me, Maddie"
"Hey, Just thought I'd write again, evenifyou aren'tgetting my mail. It's my birthday, but I havn't gotten your e-mail yet. i hope you're getting these maybe your computer is out at your new house. Do you remember that time we went through the mall and we just sang silly tV songs and wore those boas yours waspinkand min was blue? Imiss tha t it was cool when we were bff&f&f and did everything together?That cute guys name is Chad, I finaly got the guts to talk to him and he was really nice, but he triedtokissmeandthenhe I bet you have lots of new friends now everybody loves you, your so perfect and fun and brave not like me. i really miss you and think it's cool that you're happy but I do missyou here. anyways write you later k-your best friend F&F&F&F&F maddie"
As Kiti read through each letter she experianced a growing sense of unease, but thae last one really worried her. It was completly out of character, Maddie had always wanted to be a writer, and always tried to keep in practice when she wrote. It was completly unlike her to send a letter that was so scrambled. It didn't take a psychiatrist to realize that something bad had happened with that cute boy from the beach. Mildly worried she copied out the e-mails to show her Mom, maybe she could make sense of it.
"In the meantime, I'll get a letter out to her and let her know what's been happening." she decided pulling up a cute background for her letter. "I can't wait to tell her that Hikaru's teaching me to dance, and that I'm showing her and Junichi to juggle." she also figured that she'd get a huge kick out of Kenshin and the smoke bomb episode, it sounded like she could really use a laugh.
