In need of a friend

May 20, 2006 10:39

Katelyn sat with her knees to her chest, her arms folded across them them. The normally cheerful girl was uncharacteristically quiet as she sat there and thought, trying to make sense of people and things in general. It had been a few days since Utena had spoken to her, but having one of her good friends suddenly start treating her differently left ( Read more... )

Liz felt a familiar presence beneath her. She looked curiously up from her book, then moved to the window, hung out of it and glanced down at the grass. Her little face lit up at the sight of Katelyn and she began to wave enthusiastically. "Katel ( ... )

"Oh," Katelyn simply said as she looked upward. "Hello, Liz Riley."

Once her friend's head disappeared once more, Kate went back to quietly observing the other students until she heard Liz running along beside her, almost falling on top of her. With the sudden embrace, she began to smile a small bit, though it was apparent that other things were still on her mind.

"I'm, okay." She exhaled as she tried to think of what to say. "Another of my good friends...I don't think she likes me as much anymore. Nothing is wrong, really." There was a long pause as she simply sat there, enjoying her friend's embrace. "I am just confused," she finally said. "I try to learn, but I still do not understand people very well."

"Perhaps I do not belong here after all."

"Don't say that." Liz kissed her friend gently on the cheek. "You belong here as well. And I'll always like you, no matter what happens."

She fell silent for a full minute, focusing on the images that raced through her mind. "Why do you think that... Miss Utena doesn't like you anymore? What happened? What do you not understand?" Liz cuddled close against Katelyn and looked up at her blue eyes, waiting for her to answer.

Her smile became more genuine with that token of Liz's affection. "There are many things that I don't understand," she said as she leaned her head closer to that of her friend. "People are just so...complex, I think. It is like playing a game when you don't know the rules ( ... )

"Ralph doesn't use Elphaba," the small girl murmured, almost too afraid to continue the subject. "She really loves her." She stayed close to Katelyn until she felt the reassuring squeeze. Liz relaxed a little at that point and cast a shy smile up at her friend.

"Of course you are." Liz stretched out one hand to stroke through his white fur. "You're still special. But differently special than Katelyn. Just like Terence. All three of you are special, but all three of you are in a different way special."

Artemis purred with closed eyes, the response to Liz's touch as easily heard as it was felt against both of the girls. "Even when I know, I enjoy hearing the answer. I guess, you wouldn't mind dancing again, then..." He left the thought there.

"Liz 'cheers you up,' does she?" Though the cat could have meant any number of things after he looked to Katelyn, his eyes went to Liz's cooking soon enough. "I wouldn't mind some cheering up, either. Unless this was supposed to be private?" Not much was kept from Artemis, but he did like to keep up appearances.
