How can I overcome '8va' for a few notes?
Let's say I have a whole passage marked with 8va, like below:
I want to play just the circled notes at their normal octave. Is there a way to denote this, instead of ending the 8va bracket and starting it again afterwards, which would be tiring if the passage with the 8va is long and I had to do this over and over again?

Just write them where they will be in 8va, as in an octave lower than they are right now. A reader will have more of a clue as to what's happening like that. So the G# will sit on the second line up, followed by the A on the second space up. Stems the other way - going up!
