Bubbles

1| When the liquid didn't move

"Oomph"

I landed on the ground and dusted off the dirt sticking on my clothes due to the whole wall climbing.

"Oh you're here. I didn't expect you to come again." she said.

"Well you expected wrong. " I said shooting a playful smile at the end.

"Come on then. Sit. " She patted the spot besides her in the huge stone.

I sat besides her removing my bag and placing it on the ground.

She grabbed her purse which was slung across her shoulders and pulled out the little pink bottle.

The liquid hadn't quite reduced. I sighed. It was going to take a long time for the liquid to almost finish so I can have the last turn for blowing few bubbles.

She dipped the circular part in the bottle and then started blowing bubbles.

The bubbles floated away. After observing them for a while I noticed that they didn't actually pop. The just went on and on up in the sky till they became invisible.

Weird.

A bubble floated towards me and settled to my t-shirt. It still didn't pop.

I poked it with my finger.

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

I prodded the bubble once again. But this time it did pop.

But instead just forming drops and falling to the ground it turned into tiny white whisps. And those started raising up in the air.

I took a deep breath. The whisps smelled funny.

"Hey.. From where did you buy these bubbles? They are so weird. They don't even pop easily. " I asked the girl.

She stilled. Her face showing an expression of slight horror but she quickly masked it with a poker face.

"I don't know...My uncle gave it to me" She said not looking at me.

"Where is your uncle then?" I was curious.

"Not here. " she said in her usual high pitched voice.

"Then where?"

and why aren't you answering me properly?? I thought.

"I don't know. "

I sighed. What's wrong with her?

"Where do you live?" I asked her wanting to know something, anything about her.

"No where. " she filled her mouth with air and blew it forming a large bubble.

What? What does she mean by that?

"What's your name?" I realised I didn't know it so I asked her hoping to get some answer this time.

She kept quite for a few seconds.

She turned to face me opening her mouth to say something but dissapointting me when she closed it again and blankly stare at me.

" What?" I was getting annoyed.

"Your nose is bleeding. "

I pressed the back of my hand to my nosetril to check.

Indeed my nose was bleeding.
