Too be honest, I've seen Nana Morris in school lots of times, but today was the first time I've seen her up close. She seemed... friendly. Yeah, friendly... That seemed like the right word... Right? She was gorgeous, though nothing really made her stand out except for her eyes. Her big green eyes looked sad. They seemed a bit clouded and distant.
"So... Uh... Where'd you learn to slay those zombies?" I asked, in an attempt to start a conversation.
"I- I'm actually unsure... Something just came to me that they needed to be... slain," Nana replied uneasily and stared down at the ground with a meek expression. Her mopping slowed down and she removed one of her hands from her mop to scratch the back of her head. That was when I noticed some of the braclets she was wearing slid down and some pink streaks peeked through the gaps.
I looked at her with a stoic face, when on the inside, I was curious as to where she got those scars. Something about her staring off into space made it seem like she had a lot of things on her mind. Maybe she did... Maybe she didn't. Suddenly, she made eye contact with me and nerviously bit her lip.
Hmm... Perhaps that's an idiosyncratic feature she has, I thought to myself.
"So Axl... What do you like to do?" Nana asked quietly.
"I dunno," I answered, taken aback by her question.
She chuckled nervously before mopping a stain on the floor.
"Do you like cereal?" Nana asked cautiously.
"Umm... yeah, I guess," I replied.
She stopped mopping and stared at me for a while.
"Do you... um... want to... um... go to... um... a cereal gathering with... me... tomorrow evening?" Nana asked quietly.
"A cereal gathering?" I asked.
"I mean, it's totally fine if you don't want to... Just as friends... It's not like a date or anything..." Nana babbled.
"Sure," I chuckled.
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
"You really don't have to go if you don't want to."
"No, no, I really want to. It sounds like fun."
Her face brightened up and I noticed that her eyes had a slight twinkle in them.
