The Levels of Xarnia, Cheating

Part 5, memory

No....anything but this memory.....please.....sleep I beg you just....don't replay this one! The dream didn't listen...

I was walking home with my friend Kira. This was before I met Silica so it had to be grade school. No it was grade school, 5th grade. I remember every detail. Kira was wearing her favorite black jacket, blue jeans, and her white tennis shoes. Her black hair long and silky. Her blue eyes filled with compassion. Her lips smiling a smile that seems to hypnotize you. We were walking down the sidewalks in the middle of a discussion that I picked up at my turn, "There's no way it is a lie!"

She laughs at me, "Of course its a lie! Its always been a lie!"

I counter her, "Yet at the end of the game you see it!"

She pats me on the head, "Delusions boy, delusions!"

I sigh as we cross the street. I was holding her warm hand and we were smiling at each other. Than her eyes widened and she pulled me back in time to stop a truck from hitting me. I stared at the truck in awe, it didn't even slow down! I crashed into Kira and she bumped into someone else walking. She looked at the man and apologized. The man smiled and helped us up and than replied, "Just glad to see you kids safe. Names Danny!"

Kira smiled at him and I nodded. Danny walked to Kira and handed her a business card and said, "Here ya go sweet heart" than he walked off. I looked at Kira but she already let go of my hand. She was looking at the card and I just lost my first crush and best friend to a complete stranger...
