eyes ease open and it's dark again

Timria smiled at this. Some girls would have taken great offense at fun-poking at such a touchy subject, but she knew that Lanif was only trying to show he had heard everything she’d said, yet it hadn’t changed anything. They both fell silent for a bit, but it wasn’t an awkward silence. It was nice. Lanif was watching two people argue in whispers at the table next to them, and Timria glanced at him. He was rather....nice-looking, now that she actually gave it thought. His eyes were piercing blue, and his hair was styled nicely. No dye or highlights or gelled spikes – just normal hair. Cute hair, she added to herself.
As all good things must come to an end, Timria decided the time had come to end this library session.
“Well, I think we’ve got enough information to do ten projects, what about you?” Lanif turned to face her.
“Yeah, I guess there’s enough there. Should we do the project now, and get it done with?” Timria had assumed they would do the project during classtime they were getting on Monday, but she supposed it would be wiser to just get it out of the way.
“Alright, sure. We can go to my house if you want. My dad’s at work and there won’t be anyone to bother us.”
“Okay. You can’t drive yet, can you? I’ll take you for a ride, alright?” Timria smiled.
“Alright.”

“Not for a couple more blocks,” said Timria, looking out the window. She was making herself as small as she possibly could, pressing her back against the seat. Her arms were folded across her stomach. Lanif cleared his throat.
“You walked this whole way?” He felt awkward and loud next to her obvious quiet suffering.
“Yes, it’s not that bad. The walk takes up time, anyway. I come to the library every Saturday.”
“What time?” She blinked and turned to him.
“I usually leave around ten, I guess.” Lanif fell silent, and Timria was looking away again. Now the silence seemed uncomfortable. The traffic light turned red, and the car stopped moving. He turned to her and asked,
“Timria...aren’t you....lonely?” She flinched and slowly met his eyes. Her eyes were like pits, and he was falling, falling, and he didn’t want to stop. It stopped anyway.
“Yes,” she breathed, and it was like someone breaking a spell. The light turned green, and she turned back to the window. “Turn left up here.”

Hey Jackie
This is your ORGINAL HERO. I got bored the other day while you were on and clicked on one of your links. It took me here. So good job, now I'm addicted to this intriguing story you've got going and you're not updating it nearly as fast as it needs to be. Get yourself writting girl!
