The Prophet § Beginning of the Future

Chapter 2 /When It all Started

"Carry's POV"

I was calmly solving problems on my science textbook when I heard screams from behind the class.I turned to see where it came from.Of course it was Isabelle.

She was jumping up and down with joy while she screamed something that sounded like 'we won '

I freezed for a moment.Did they actually win something?No it couldn't be.It was just a dream.And by dream I mean creepy vision like things that always come true.I've had these dreams since I was 6 years old.I always told myself it was just a coincidence.

And now I told myself once again that it was just a coincidence that I had seen Laura ,Isabelle and Bethany win the Science Fair in my dreams.Nope I hadn't seen the future.It was impossible.

The more I told myself this the less I started to believe .

I finally decided to ask Laura if they had actually won.Maybe Isabelle was screaming for a totally different reason.Like maybe it had something to do with their other lives.And by that I mean their fandom lives.I think that's what they were called.

"Hey Izzy ,Laura,Bethany."I greeted then with a big smile.Bethany and Isabelle stopped screaming when they heard me.

"Hi Carry"Laura greeted me back.She seemed grateful that I had come over and stopped their screaming.

"So what do you want?"Laura asked.I saw Isabelle roll her eyes.So this was something usual for them.

Okay,that was very quick.She really didn't waste any time with pleasantries did she ?

"Uhm,I just wanted to ask you a question."

She nodded impatiently.

"Didyouwinthesciencefair?"I asked so quickly that even I couldn't understand what I had said.I cleaned my throat."I mean did you win the science fair?"

Even though my voice was much more clear it was still very low.

All of their eyes widened.

"How did you know?"Isabelle practically screamed at me.Not like a 'I want to murder you' scream but more like a 'how the fuck do you know that' scream.

"I umm ...just heard you"I lied through my teeth.I knew what they would think if I told them that I saw the future.And frankly I didn't want to be checked in a mental hospital just yet.

Neither Laura or Isabelle seemed convinced.But they didn't say anything.

"Well don't tell anyone.But come sit , you should celebrate with us too."Bethany said with so much enthusiasm that I couldn't help but sit next to her.I also didn't miss the glare Laura gave her when she said celebrate.

They told me how our science teacher forced them and gave them a project and how they didn't do the anything until the last day.Their stories were really fun to listen to.They never seemed to run out of funny things to say.Unfortunately Bethany had to leave before the story ended.

"Sadly we don't know if we came first second or third place."Isabelle finished the story.

"First place"I answered as a reflex.When I noticed what I had said my eyes widened.No no no I was actually beginning to make friends.I didn't want them to think I was a hallucinational freak.

"How would you know?"Laura's eyes had grown even more suspicious.

"It's just a hunch."I lied yet again."I mean you're really good at science so you would probably win the fair.You know just logic"

"Carry science is our least favorite subject.And at first you said it was a hunch then you said it was logic.Those two don't exactly mean the same thing.
