Day 6: IC - Alintarouge
It's been a long day. Had to work this morning, before then going straight to my dancing rehearsal. Then despite feeling tired and sore, I pushed myself to write the 1,667 words. And now my shoulders are aching from using this computer... I really need to get a new charger. At least tomorrow, I'll be over at Mum's so I'll be able to use my old lappy that we keep over there. *pouts*

Excerpt: Rei thinks she is being followed.
Rei frowned as she heard footsteps close by again. She spun around and looked deep into the alley. It was only early afternoon, so she had plenty of light to see a long way down it. There was definitely no one there, either in the close vicinity or a long way off. Rei was confused. So where were the footsteps coming from? She scanned the entire alleyway again but still could not figure it out. She shook her head and made her way to the alley entrance. Glancing hastily to both sides, Rei casually slipped back into the crowds of people lining the streets. She continued to make her way towards the normal meeting spot.
She wasn’t even halfway there before she began to feel uneasy. Rei had the unsettling feeling that she was being watched. She could feel the hairs on the back of her neck rising. She had a very bad feeling that she was being followed as well. She ducked into a nearby caffeine house and seated herself beside the window, where she could see both the entire inside of the shop and outside to the street. She wanted to know exactly who was going where.
Rei pulled out her mobile as her eyes swiftly scanned her surroundings. She typed a message to Andrew. Hopefully, he hadn’t reached the meeting point yet, and he could backtrack without being noticed. Toki, am feeling weary. Heading home for some sleep. Hope you’re well and will see you soon, Raelene.
Rei didn’t trust that she was the only one being followed right now. Of course, it could very well be her father that had sent someone to tail her. It was exactly the sort of thing Takahashi would do. Especially since she had, only yesterday, been inside his office without his permission. But at the same time she couldn’t take that chance.
Quote of the Day:
Darien: [to Ami] Do you remember my first night onboard and Serena drew that sketch of my cousin? [nods to Rei on viewscreen] Well, this is that cousin.
Rei: [annoyed at being ignored] Do you think you could start speaking to me, instead of just about me, cousin of mine?
