I had a feeling Julian didnt like her... which was understandably so seeing as though she tricked him into believe his hair was on fire!! I admit: that was a little cruel to play with my best friend like that. The poor guy nearly had a heart-attack from the experience! Still, I tried to shake off that scary experience and just grab a 7-up and a Sprite from the fridge!
However, after I pulled out the sodas, i looked over my shoulder and into the living room... I couldve sworn I saw Anyma talking to the palm of her hand... she was whispering something, and I couldnt see what it was in her hand... nah... probably just my imagination.... (NOPE!!!!)
Nevertheless, I walked into the room.. "Ok! I got you the sodas and... uh... where's Julian?" "OH...um.." Anyma quickly closed her hand and said, "he said he had somewhere to be right now, so he couldnt stay long!"
"That's a shame... guess I'll have to drink his Sprite," I popped open MY Sprite and handed Anyma her 7-Up... but then I got a little curious of what she had in her hand... "Hey, uh... what's that in your hand?"
"Oh, THIS hand?" she raised it while keeping it closed. "Yeah, that one!"
Anyma opened her hand... and inside it was.... a sugar packet? "It's just a little bit of rare sugar I got from overseas... this stuff is GREAT in drinks!" Oh, it was not ordinary sugar... oh it probably wasnt even sugar PERIOD!
She popped open her soda can, ripped off the top of her little packet and poured this 'sugar' into her drink... she tilted her head back and lifted the can near her mouth about to drink it.... luckily, I stopped her before she could drink it.
"Say... is that sugar stuff really any good?" I asked her. "Oh yes..." she grinned, "DEFFINITELY!"
"...mind if I have a sip?" I asked. She pulled out a little straw from a pocket in her dress and handed it to me... "Be my guest!"
I put the straw into her soda and took a tiny little sip... however, it went done the wrong pipe.. causing me to start a coughing fit!
"*COUGH!!* *COUGH!!!!!*" I fell to the ground and started pounding my chest... I think a bit of it was sucked up into my lungs! It felt like I wound up breathing a speck of this 'sugar' in!!
"Michael dear??! Are you allright?!" she asked me in concern and started patting my back! After a while, I finally breathed regularly again, ".....Y..Yeah... Im fine now... thanks, Anyma!"
She smiled at me, "Geez, dont you go scaring me like that! Perhaps my special-sugar isnt for everyone!"
.....if only I knew what was REALLY in that sugar...
