"My name..." Trailing off, she racked her seemingly empty brain for someone that people used to call her. Actually, she wasn't all too sure that was what the girl was looking for. "I-I can't remember." She stuttered, looking at her with wide blue eyes. "I have no idea." Clutching her head, she sat back down onto the hard ground.
'That's what I was afraid of.' Crystal said with a sigh and sat down beside the girl. 'Can't seem to remember mine either.' She added, in explanation. 'Feels like a C-- A or something, but I can't be sure...' With sudden inspiration, she kept searching every corner of her mind for a name with a C or an A. But there were endless possibilities...
Carol?
Corinna?
Caroline?
Carmen?
Candy, maybe ?
But none rung a bell.
'
C.. Cr?'
'Ugh, this is hopeless...' She said with an 'I give up' tone to her voice... 'Wait.. I can feel it coming... it's
definitely something with a C!'
'
Aaand ?' She heard herself thinking, she might have been expecting more. '
Hey ! At least that's progress !' The other half of her mind fought back.
'Wait...
Chris...' She thought and got a tingly feeling in her tummy. 'That rings a bell... but it's a
boys' name...'
'Well, I guess we're gonna have to go with Chris. And yes, I know it's a boys' name, and yes, I know I'm not a boy. It just seems familiar.' Crystal said, giving up on finding a better name.
'So... Hi, I'm.. Chris.' She said, reaching out her hand and smiling like a lunatic, but still trying to convince the nameless girl that she wasn't one.
