Caro Nome
Aria lay on her back, her legs crossed, lazily kicking one foot so that her sandal made a quiet thumping sound against the base of her heel. The grass felt nice and cool against her skin, as did the breeze. The sunshine pouring down on her kept it from becoming too cool, and resulted in a very comfortable feeling. But despite all this, Aria couldn't shake the feeling she'd come here to escape. Somewhere, in the back of her head, in the deepest recesses of her mind, she replayed the incident over and over again, searching, like a VCR tech, for that one skip in the tape, the one frame of black that indicated something was wrong.
She heaved a heavy sigh, her hands placed behind her head as she stared up at the passing clouds. Try as she might though, they yielded no answers to her. Even the wind whispering in her ear told her nothing she wanted to hear.
"Adagio..."
Aria didn't even realize she'd said her name until it had already escaped her lips and floated out into the ether. Her hand shot out, grasping at nothing, opening closing in the empty air. She frowned.
"I know," she told herself, pulling her hand back. "I don't have to remind me."
Aria rolled over, lying face down in the grass. Her hand balled into a fist and she punched the ground. She groaned at herself. "Aria, you idiot," she said, her voice muffled, "you know exactly what you did. Why are you pretending? What are you hiding from?" She pursed her lips. "Don't be stupid. You know that one too. In fact, you even know what you have to do. So, stop moping and go tell her how you really feel. Tell her it was just a mistake, and that you didn’t mean… even though you definitely did."
Pushing herself up, Aria brushed herself off and glanced up at the sky, grinning. She was about to make her way down the hill when she saw something off towards the school coming over the horizon. Cresting a different hill, a figure appeared. Aria recognized her, and the way she walked, immediately.
"Adagio..."
The name found itself on Aria's lips once more. But this time, however, it was accompanied by a smile, and then shortly followed by the two words that had first landed her in this predicament.
"Dem hips..."
She heaved a heavy sigh, her hands placed behind her head as she stared up at the passing clouds. Try as she might though, they yielded no answers to her. Even the wind whispering in her ear told her nothing she wanted to hear.
