ACT 9

Most might think that evading someone that lives in the same house as you would be difficult, which is actually true, but when Akali refused to leave her bedroom and meet eye to eye with a certain someone, the mentioned act seemed to look so easy to be done.

Of course that can only be truly said if no one counted Akali's cravings for some ramyun, then her efforts in hiding from Evelynn would have been perfect and considered a complete success.

Huffing, Akali closed her laptop before placing the wireless mouse on top of it and placing the portable computer on the vacant side of her bed. She just finished playing the seventh round of the day from the popular online game called League of Legends, but it looks like it didn't succeed in taking her mind away from her problems.

Seven rounds, seven defeats.

The sight of the avatar she created and had named after herself didn't even affect her like it usually did. Whenever she sees the character she made for the online game, it always brought a smile on her face, but not today apparently.

No, her mind was too preoccupied with the thoughts that revolved around nothing and no one but Evelynn. The woman has been dancing around her head for the past couple of hours and it rendered all of her attempts in distraction to become completely futile.

Admittedly, Akali knew she was being childish and that the way she was handling the issue was not appropriate. Shutting Evelynn out for the time being won't vanquish their quarrel. In fact, their problems might just grow and if ever that happens, then Akali has no one to blame but herself.

"Why is it just so hard?" Akali muttered to herself, frowning as she absently gazed at the TV on the wall. The large piece of technology was shut off, so she was left to watch nothing but a pitch black screen. Well, it's not like she had anything she wanted to watch in the first place.

Thinking about the problem at hand, Akali chose to start pondering about her next move. It was already late in the evening and she had already eaten the dinner Kai'Sa had brought for her half an hour ago. The dancer had tried telling her that she wanted to talk about last night, but Akali quickly pushed her friend out before she could pry.

See? Immaturity.

That, or cowardice.

The little heart she has and never thought was as fragile as a flower was afraid of the pain Evelynn's words may inflict on it. They weren't physical, but it sure hurt like a bitch.

Every time a few ounces of bravery would materialize within the rapper, it would soon be banished with the recent conversation she had with the diva. Akali knew she was quite disrespectful towards Evelynn earlier. Her parents would probably be looking at her with disappointment thanks to such unbecoming display.

The more Akali stayed in her room and drowned herself in her thoughts, the more time went on around her. It's not as if the world would stop just because she somehow wanted it to.

Meanwhile, out at the hallway, Kai'Sa can be found pacing in front of the door of the freestyler's room, phone in hand. Despite being there for a different reason, the dancer had most of her attention in replying to one of the handful of messages from a particular delivery girl.

Akali had practically tossed her out of the bedroom when she attempted talking to her about the issue with Evelynn and even though she planned on putting more effort into making her friend talk, she was abruptly distracted by a message from Sivir. She had sent a little "Hey, Kai'Sa here!" message to the pizza girl and had finally received a reply, so her mind lost its focus on her initial objective.
