[i]Chocolate cake? Hmm... Interesting mix.. Who cares?! When you're hungry, you eat![/i]
 
Akia studied everyone's faces. Roberto seemed to be thinking, and everyone else had their poker faces on. 

"I'm sure I'll enjoy it! I haven't had chocolate cake since..." [i]since Mom passed away.[/i] Tears rushed towards her eyes, but she blinked them away quickly, "since last year."

Akia jumped onto the van, taking the back seat to let somebody else take shotgun, because she knew everyone's favorite spot was the passenger seat. She quickly strapped on her seat belt, not wanting to meet the same fate as her father. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she swiped it away with her hand. She turned her head to face the window so no one would be able to see her. [i]How am I going to control these emotions if everything will remind me of something sad? Get it together, Akia. You can do it. Do it for your parents' death.[/i]
