"Hello" I turn around to find myself looking at Ci-Xi.
"Hey Ci-Xi, What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you"
"Huh? Huh? What happened?" Jane wakes up, with drool on her cheek. She puts her head on Gwen's shoulder.
"I realize that Gwen was starting to say something before...what were you going to tell me?" Our focus is shifted to Gwen. Her face turns red.
"It doesn't matter" She gets up looking disappointed. She helps Jane get up and walks towards the Carousel with her. I stand up and head her way but a hand grabs me.
"I came here for you" Ci-Xi laughs.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Akio walks next to me with a weird face. Ci-Xi looks at Akio.
"Nice to meet you, Akio," She says to Akio. He turns me around, huddling over me.
"She is the one for me," He tells me. I feel overprotective as if she is one of my twin sisters.
"Shut up, Akio," I turn back around to see Ci-Xi. "So how did you know we were here?"
"Actually I was just walking by so that's why I called you" She smiles.
"Well, then what was your point of coming to say hi?"
"I wanted to go to a cool place...since your friend is here then also with your friend," Ci-Xi twists her hair. I look over to see where Gwen is and she is sitting at the bench looking at the moon. I wonder what she wanted to tell me. I know it wasn't anything. It was something important.
"Where is this place you are talking about?" I ask her getting a little suspicious.
"You will see...Trust me"
"Count me in," Akio says out loud.
"Fine but not for too long because today is the last day I get to spend with my friend until they leave and I don't know when I'll be able to see them again"
"I understand, it won't be too long...We can't walk to where the place is...we can take a taxi and walk the rest on foot," She chuckles. She grabs her telephone and calls "Yes please one taxi from Janes Carousel," and then hangs up the phone. "It's going to be here in 2 minutes"
"That's quick!" Akio smiles widely, his eyes head over heels for her.
"Yeah...it is," I feel like something is off about her. 2 minutes later the taxi comes. When we walk to the taxi, Gwen weirdly looks at me. I can't tell if she's angry or sad. I can't read her eyes. I overlook it and get in the taxi with Akio and Ci-Xi. I sit the farthest from Ci-Xi. The taxi starts to rush to the road.
