Its summer,so the days are longer than you can stand.If you want air conditioning,walk to the convenience store on the corner and take your time searching for an ice cream.

There's this girl.She's a nobody really.You probably wouldn't notice her if I didn't point her out.

She's got sky blue hair to her waist,and bangs that need cutting.

Today she's got on a black tank top that says I'M FINE,but that is a big lie so go ahead and ignore it.

She's sitting up on the roof of her house, because that is the only place where she can get away from her brothers and have some peace and quiet.

She checks her phone,finds no messages,not even a text.

She's me,I'm her.And we're both bored to gills.

If this was a movie,I would've walked out by now.

So let's cut to black.

Roll the credits.

Drop the curtain,if this place even has a curtain.

Kick the slimy dregs of popcorn under the seat and head home.

Except that would be too soon....

Because-just like a movie-there's about to be some big drama when you last expect it.

Mine begins when Yui pops her head out the upstairs bathroom window.

Her eyes are puffy-I see this first.

Not a good sign.

"Yuki" She calls.

 "Come inside so we can talk."

"I can't," I say.

"I'm sunbathing." Notice that I'm flat-out ignoring the fact that she said I'm going anywhere.

This is because I'm not.Going,that is.I'm staying right here.

"Sunbathing? It's four thirty in the afternoon,you're a vampire and you're in the shade."

"Come inside," She says.

 "We need to talk."

"Talk to me out here," I say.

 "I can hear you just fine."

"Alright.If you won't come inside...."

I wait.

She waits.

It's a battle of the wills and I win.

It's at this moment that she asks the most random question ever:"Is there anything that you like?"

"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about,really?"

Her voice tightens,"No."

But she doesn't say what else it could be and dissapears out of my sight.
