[When Aya gets done with track practice she has three missed calls from Marisa. And then the phone starts ringing again.]

[a_digital_witch]

I wasn't supposed to tell you. So don't tell anyone, ze. I'll get in trouble and I actually care about not get in trouble in this case.

...and I can so still call Momiji a prude.

[brb_pulitzer]

Uh-huh.

Either way, both of you should just go to whatever college you want. It's not like you both can't start your own company and make loads of money without schooling though.

[a_digital_witch]

Easier said than done, ze. We have family responsibilities. My father's already put me on an allowance so I'm feeling the squeeze of not having money.

...and she has a lot of medical issues. America has this really shitty health care system that requires this insurance thing. No money, no insurance.

Besides... This is all stupid and you need to tell me to stop.

[brb_pulitzer]

I'm not telling you to stop. If you guys need money or something, just let me know.

[a_digital_witch]

But it is stupid. A wonderful stupid, but still!

I mean, we've been together for less than a month and she's a year behind me. Anything can happen in that year after I graduate before she does. We're not like you and Momiji, ze. What if me being in America while she's here kills things?

Hell, she doesn't even want to go visit Japan and she's not really supposed to even leave France cause of her health. Add to that the anxiety and...

This is so, so... stupid. I hate it when my heart wants something my head knows is a bad idea.

[brb_pulitzer]

We should save this for when we're together and alone. Talking over the phone about it is too hard.

[a_digital_witch]

If that's your way of saying you want to hug me because of this, I'm gonna kick your shins when I see you.

[brb_pulitzer]

I'll definitely hug you but the point is, I can't react properly if I'm not looking at you face to face.

[a_digital_witch]

...okay, but a short, light hug. I had an... uh, attack the other day cause of a surprise hug. Still a little... twitchy.

I can come by...

[brb_pulitzer]

Give me about thirty minutes. I have to shower because I smell sweaty. And I'll be careful, I promise.

[a_digital_witch]

Alright.

[She hangs up and in a half an hour, she's letting herself into Aya's room.]

[brb_pulitzer]

[IT SMELLS LIKE SHAMPOO IN HERE and Aya turns in her computer chair.]

Grab a seat wherever.

[a_digital_witch]

[Better than sweaty girl.

Marisa plops down on Aya's bed and half-sprawls.]

Sorry for missing your practices, ze. Been busy...

[brb_pulitzer]

It's fine. I know how it can be.

[a_digital_witch]

[She sits back up.]

...you wanna get that hug over with?
