Where did my friend go?

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Having not found Andy outside Zazuka came in with a worryed look on her face. Where could she be. Dinner time was comeing near and she still hadn't found her best friend. "Where could you be Andy?" She asked herself while looking at the massive entrence hall.

Zazuka wondered what whas going though Andy's head at this time. This was proof positive in her mind that she couldn't read thoughts, thank god. She was still keeping a look out for Andy as she made her way father into the entrence hall waiting for Brian to return.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda walked into through the large doors of the school a bland expression that was masked by the dirt on her face from the forest floor. Her hands were held out momentarily before her as if inspecting the dirt on them too. She walked in to go directly up the staircase to the 7th floor. Zuka was there in the entrance hall. Andromeda felt she had two choices, one was to go over to her and say something the other was to simply walk on as if she hadn't seen her.

Andromeda was not in the mood for conversation and knew that where Zuka was, Brian wasn't far behind. She chose to walk on. She knew Zuka would have read her feelings coming in the door but Andromeda also knew that Z would quite possibly stunned by those feelings. Andromeda was calm - almost relentlessly so, yet it was a calm that hid a deep anger.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Though the white noise of all the feelings around her a deep seeded anger almost made Zazuka feel like she was about to burn. She felt it before she saw her. Andy, but there was something diffrent about her. Zazuka was about to say something but Andy walked right on by as if she whern't even there. This reminded her a little too much of what she was used to. Zazuka walked alittle behind her tentivly so as not to make the anger not flare over the storm's eye calm.

"Andy?" Was all Zazuka was able to get out though the choke hold that was her own fear. She was afraid of Andy herself but of this silence that was waiting for a knife to come out of the darkness. Zazuka was piler than usual but that was all her face regestered. It was her black beetle eyes that said what she was feeling. Zazuka was afraid of the girl that had been her best friend since day one.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda sighed and turned about looking directly at Zuka. Her calmness was extraordinary she felt it right down to her core being.
"What?" she said nothing more she didn't feel it necessary. The dirt on her face was drying rapidly as was the dirt on hands and clothes.

She didn't look at her friend with hatred or loathing or anything but indifference. Andromeda was indifferent to how Zuka was feeling. Knowing that Zuka was well able to pick up on the completeness of Andromeda's rage, the pure white anger that she felt and yet to look at her one would think she was just a dirty angel.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka looked down at her shose. For some reson she couldn't look directly at Andy right now. It was't the dirt doing it eather. She kept a few steps away her always never getting to close. "You heard what was said didn't you." Sha said. It wasn't a question. There could only be one reson for such anger and that was a deep wound made by a someone that one cares about. Zazuka vowed never to hurt Andy and kept her promise. She had defended Andy but she wasn't about to say this. It seemed cheep to say.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

"It doesn't matter any more what I heard" Andromeda told her. She turned away again resting her arm on the bannister of the stairs as she moved to walk up it.
"Nothing does. I need to be alone now Zuka" she said tilting her head back in Zuka's direction.

The calmness was slowly forming into pure exhaustion, the anger still there but none of it for the girl behind her.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka wraped her arms around her own stomach and sighed. "Alright, but please know that no one means to hurt you." Zazuka said gently. Always gentle, always soft and careful, that was Zazuka's way of dealing with everything and it seemed to be working even now.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda nodded her head in acknowledgement of Zuka's words. She felt that maybe Zuka wouldn't but Brian had no qualms at all. Their friendship so obviously meant nothing. She had thought she had guarded her feelings enough for Zuka to not be able to sense what she was feeling but the overpowering sensation of her heartbreaking was too much and Andromeda turned away again and began to walk up the stairs.

"I'll see you tomorrow it's getting late now" she called back before continuing up the stairs.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka nodded. "I guess skipig dinner is ok once in a while." She said softly and made her way across the entrence hall. She was hungry now and wondered what was taking Brian so long. She closed her eyes and made the overwelming silence go away. It wasn't her's to feel, not really. Worry was what she should have felt, worry for her friend.
