"Kitai?"
"Hello!"
"Could you pass the sodium chloride?" Mary says while waving a hand infront of Kitai's face to wake him out of his apparently vivid daydream.
"Damm okay here girl!"
"Hmm I'm just some girl now Kitai?" Mary says with a oh-wow-really look.
"Of course not, I just... I had this weird dream last night, the one I've been having for a while now." Kitai says as he strokes Mary's hand then lets it go.
"My poor baby, lets go shopping! it will make you feel better to see me in those new Jimmy Choos I had my eye on." The blank look Kitai gave Mary signaled to her that that wasnt going to happen.
As the bell set Kitai free he began to wonder why he was with Mary. Oh wait thats right because they were the perfect match. Both seniors in high school and a threat to the school's population. Mary, the captain of the volleyball team, top in her dance class, and straight A student with a hint of party girl. Mary was "perfect" for the tall, strong, horse loving, and star wide receiver Kitai. The "power couple" since freshman year.
When Kitai moved here, he didn't have much friends. He stood out. He liked normal Montana stuff. He loved the outdoors, something little miss perfect wouldn't fancy in a million years. In her words, "Gross, totes out!" Nevertheless they were a couple. Mary wasn't all bad and at least it would be all over in a couple weeks, when they graduated.
"Kitai! You coming to lunch or you hanging back with the wicked witch?"
Kitai turned his head to find his team mate Todd snickering at these words with the rest of the team. He waved him off and kept walking to his locker, wanting to be alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the day was a drag.
The same old same old
dodge ball in gym chaos and a worksheet in english, pointless, mindnumbing math in AP Calc and a whole hour of a language he didn't understand nor did he care to learn: Spanish. All these languages were too basic for him.
Ms. Lopez, his most trusted teacher, gave a project to the class to be done over the spring break. He didnt mind, he had nothing else better to do.
"Okay class since all we talk about in Spanish class is Spanish, and I'm pretty sure all of you didnt wanna learn this language, let's step out of the box for a minute" Kitai's ears perked up. "What languages do you guys find interesting?"
Amanda's hand shot up "I find Hebrew rare."
"Oookayy" Ms Lopez sounded uneasy.
"I find Braille fascinating, I mean learning all those bump patterns and decoding them at such great speeds!" Brittany's teachers pet voice flooded the room. She also did the morning announcements, try hearing that everyday then again in class.
"Hmmm what about you Kitai, what language would you like to explore?"
Kitai had to think quick, be more weird or just say something and go back into his daze.
"Umm maybe Japanese, the tradition not simplified cause you know their different, but maybe the spoken version I think thats different ..." The class stared at Kitai as he rambled on and on. He didn't want to talk but then he couldn't stop.
"Wow that's great Kitai, I look forward to reading your project on all of the differences!" Ms Lopez said with such enthusiasm and a grin the size of Oswald's body, which was "Gi-mung-gus" according to Abby, his 5 year old sister.
"Mine will be amazing too Ms. Lopez!" Brittany added. Kitai rolled his eyes and tried to hide.
"The task is to pick a language and write anything you can find on it, the challenge is, whoever can learn the most words, phrases, anything in that language, wins" Kitai let the torture sit in. She was now expecting a bomb project that he himself could care less about, but Kitai was good at acting, he did it all day.
The bell ringing at that instant, Kitai took off. He just wanted to go home, it was a nice day and he wasn't filled to ends with hatred, Abby might just get her day at the park after all..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kitai made it home with no Mary. It was truly the day god had made, or was that only Sundays? When he got to Abby's room, he picked her up and spun her around.
"Kitai!!" Abby exclaimed surprised. "You came in MY ROOM? This must be good" Abby's room was basically pink with lace EVERYWHERE! Hence the reason for her surprise, it was only on rare occasions Kitai would dare to step foot in there.
Kitai smiled alittle. "How does the park sound?" A rambunctious Abby heard that like the melodic ballet music she bodied at her recital last Thursday. "I'll get my sneakers!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He wrote a note to his mother saying they would be at the park by the swings, because Stacy would never believe they gone there. Stacy was Kitai "other mother" he knew that wasnt his real one, she had told him that at 12, it was killing her. He took it really well, I guess he already suspected. "Im readyyyy" a sparkling and bedazzled Abby shot to the door.
"Off we go then"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His neighborhood wasn't bad nor was it a candyland. One thing he loved was that there weren't nosey people here, caring certainly but never nosey. Swinging on the swing, because Abigail Jenkins was a master and didn't want to be pushed, Kitai started thinking about the dream he had. It was scary in a way, he was back in Montana or atleast a place that looked like it and he was exploring again. He came across this forest and in the distant was a figure. A dark figure, like dressed in all black and purple, maybe even white. It was all such a blur but so surreal. She was laughing and running like super fast but he was just as fast. She then disappeared as if he had air-borne coodies. He wandered around then ended up in a cave- STUCK. That never happened to Kitai, that was the weird part, there weren't even any caves around. Nevertheless he was there trapped like a man that had been secretly playing 5 crazy-street fighting women and they finally caught him in a hotel elevator. The shadow girl appeared again, he felt her presents. Then he woke up. Everytime. What could this all mean? Kitai's mind began to trail off.
"Im done, can we go, but I want ice cream" Abby chimed
"Alright lets go" He assured her.
Anything she wanted, she got, Abby was all he had left, he would do anything for her. On the way to the truck, he saw a darken figure, a girl. A girl he had not yet seen here before, must have just moved. She looked different from the average Florida girl. She wore her crop tops with finesse and her exposed tattoos stood out in all the right ways.
"Umm Kitai that girl is pretty and all, but can you please pay for my choco-merlin now" Chimmed an unamused abby
Kitai took his gaze off the girl, that noticed him and walked away creeped out, to pay the man.
"Great, now even she think Im a freak" Sobbed Kitati
"You are a freak, but your my brother the freak, and that says something" Kitai released a chuckle and turned to walk toward the white and navy house they lived in.
Who was that girl?
Where did she comes from?
Why did I have all these questions?
Which dog do I have to murder and sell to the Chinese people for doing their business where I step?
