That phone call was supposed to mark an auspicious and joyous day. But it brought everything except happiness. This happened 20 years ago, i have settled down, have two girls but that experience taught me pain can kill.

Sophia's POV
We were all at the arcade, my five besties and i. Our parents were so happy with our exam results, that they brought us here to have fun. Erza and i were playing this Japanese drum game. I have no idea how you pronounce it, it was all in Japanese. Violet and Mable were next in line for a stimulation of a '6-D roller coaster'. Rosemary and Jolene were competing with each other at "Mario's Racetrack". We were all so happy, i wish this moment could last forever. Unfortunately, nothing does......
Erza's POV
Once we were finished playing Doraemon's theme song,( How embarrassing because i just found out Doraemon was Japanese) i got a phone call from my friend, Natashya. "Hey, Soph! I got a call,tell me my scores later,okay?", I told her as i clicked the 'Answer" button.
Erza: Hey, Nat! Whatsup?
Natashya: The sky, I guess.
Erza: Hahaha, so funny. Not. So, What's wrong?
Natashya: The school offers are out,you guys better get here quick.
Erza: Okay, we will be there in a while.
I put down my phone and head to Sophia. "Hey Erza, I got higher than you!! Who's da best?", she taunts. I don't crack up. "Soph, we gotta go, school offers are out. " Her face turns deadly serious.
Rosemary's POV
Jolene and i were racing with each other and it was the final lap. Jolene was ahead of me, with her in first place and me in second."I'm gonna beat you,you're going down!", she mocked me. I grinned wickedly,not for long. She left a small gap and i took it, brushing past her Mario avatar pass the finish line. "Hahaha, whose awesome now?", I said. Sophia, who was behind us said "School offers are out, we have to go now."
Mable's POV
Oh God!!! I hope all of us end up in Peter Hill Secondary. We've all been waiting to go there for years. The system goes like this. After our results come out,all the best schools in the district give us an offer to go to their school. It's our choice to pick any school. The six of us, headed to the restaurant opposite the arcade, because our parents were having lunch there.
Violet's POV
Once we retold our parents the story of Erza's phone call, we left the mall and headed for Peter Hill Primary, our old school. The school offers will be distributed there. In my heart, I had a worrying sensation,what if one of us didn't didn't get to Peter Hill? No, I push the thought to the back of my mind because that is impossible since all six of us got straight A's for our exams.
Jolene's POV
Once we reached Peter Hill Primary, the aura of every student was definitely joyful. Almost every student got the school of their choice and were jumping with joy. A few of them were shedding tears, Perhaps sad they didn't. One by one,the six of us tore open our envelopes, only looking for three words. An for all six of us, those words were there. They were written in bold "Peter Hill Secondary". We did it.
Our parents clapped our backs, saying good job and congratulations. We were so happy we were laughing and crying together. Since Perter Hill Secondary was right next to Peter Hill Primary( How cool is that?!), we decided to get our books today.
Sophia's POV
What? We got it? YES!! I still couldn't believe it, so I saw the offer letter again. However, at the side of the envelope, I saw a writing. You see, from the day I was born, I found out I could read prophecies. Whenever I saw one, it would happen. I was never wrong. As usual, the prophecies made no sense to me until it has happened . Nobody knows, expect my mother. But know that shes gone, I guess it's just me.
________________________________________________________________
Once true friends never alone,
A soul of six broken to three,
One is prevailed an one is lost,
With the lost one hot from fiery rage.
________________________________________________________________
When I finished reading,it was as if something locked my body, preventing any movement from me. I could feel my pulse rate rising, my heart beating so loud because for the first time, I understood my prophecy. We were going to be separated for life.
I dropped the envelope and it fluttered to the floor. I wanted to leave it there to rot, to hope it won't come true. But i'm never wrong, they're never wrong. So, I fumble for it and from then, no words could express the anxiety rising in me.
(The next day, 31 December 2013)
Erza's POV
On our way to Peter Hill Secondary, everybody was buzzing with energy and talking about celebrating after registration. However, Sophia seemed quiet, which never happens. Usually, she's the one who never stops talking. I tried telling her a few of my favorite jokes, but sh e only smiled back. What happened?
Sophia's POV
I had a sinking suspicions that it was I that was going to be separated for life. I tried to push it out of my mind, wanted to dream that i was dreaming about the prophecy. But I'm never wrong, they were never wrong.
Rosemary's POV
Once we reached Peter Hill, we sat down while our parents went to register us and gt our class. I turn to Sophia and she looked horrible. I wonder whats wrong with her.
Jolene's POV
Our parents came back and told us our classes. Violet, Rosemary, Erza and I were in Eccentric, Mable in Cherryblossom and Sophia in Flora. Sophia let out a small gasp and cried, " Cant we change? This can't be happening." Sophia's mother smiled sadly, "I,m sorry love but changing is not possible."
Sophia's POV
There we have it! Somebody up there is trying to ruin my life. Jolene, Erza and Rosemary separated From Mable and I . Three..... three classes. ' One is prevailed and one is lost'. I know trying to run or manipulate a prophecy is no point because things could get a lot worse. It was then I saw Erza, Mable, Jolene,and Rosemary laughing at something Violet said. 'The prevailed one' means the one they still like. Which means that 'The lost one ' is me!
