"Since when did you get back?" I yelled stopping in front of the two familiar faces.
"Just today," Courtney says calmly.
"Where the hell were you huh?" I shout exasperated.
"We... we... we had a umm.... thing to go to" Gene says rubbing the back of his hand nervously.
"Why do you care?" Courtney asks with a rude tone.
"Because, your screwing up my life!" I shout getting in her face.
"Mhmm sure," Courtney says rolling her eyes. I cant contain the anger building up inside me, and suddenly my hand meets with her face sending her to look in the other direction.
"Your gonna stay away from him" I say through gritted teeth. "Got it?" I ask while stepping back from Gene and Courtney.
"Whatever, he won't want you in a couple of weeks anyway." Courtney scoffs. I can see a small red mark forming on her cheek and it satisfies me.
"He damn well didn't want you, now did he?" I laugh. Courtney looks pissed and starts towards me until Gene pulls her back. He whispered something in her ear making her blush in embarrassment. She glared at me one last time before storming off.
"Sorry," Gene says before running after Courtney. I watch as Courtney looks pissed beyond belief and oddly I'm happy I made her angry. She deserved that slap, and I hope it did her well. I walk to my dorm building and head up to my dorm. I let out a sigh of frustration as I put they key to my dorm in the lock. I need to sleep this anger off. I walk into my dorm and slam the door shut behind me. I felt my heart stop beating when I looked at the dorm... my side was fine... but Aisha's side... all her stuff was packed up like she is trying to leave. I slowly walk towards her bed and feel sad, I don't know why... but I don't want to lose Aisha... even if she is lying to me.

Why is she leaving?

Is Aman involved?

What's happening?

Did I do something wrong?

I shake the thoughts from my head and walk over to my bed. I'm so angry, but I need to get these answers out of Aman without him suspecting something. I angrily slide off my sneakers and pull the duvet over me. I need to sleep off all this anger. I let out one more sigh of frustration as I close my eyes and slowly drift into sleep.
**** Priya's Dream ****

The sun was shining down on me furiously as I ran behind the nearest tree. I was hiding from him and trying to not be seen. Gracie insisted that since my best friend was visiting that we have a little fun.  So here we are as a fifteen year old, I'm running around my backyard playing hide and seek like a kid. Gracie is 13 she is aloud to still act childish... more is expected from me! I peek around the tree and see Gracie running towards the house. Little does she know, he is right behind her. I laugh to myself at the sight I've known him so long and Gracie loves taunting me by saying we look cute together. I start to run towards the pool when I see Gracie and him start running towards me. I stop and turn around trying to run the other direction but he picks me up and a giggle rises from my throat. I hear Gracie yelling to throw me in the pool. I hit his back playfully and he puts me down. Yes he is 4 years older than me, but I love every second with him. I look up to see his features, and that's when I can't. My vision is blurred. I feel a chilling feeling run down my spine. I blink my eyes and open them again hoping to see clearly again. It works, and I'm looking at the boy I became friends with when I was 6 and he was 10. But suddenly he's gone. So is Gracie. And everything around me is black. I can hear a faint call in the distance calling.
"Priya?"
"Priya?"
"Is that you?"
"Priya?"
"Priya?"
"Its time to go!"

I jump up from the bed and feel myself burning up as I look around the room panicked. The nightmares are increasing... I rub my eyes until they focus on a figure in my door way. I immediately shut my eyes wanting to see my old best friend again. He was in my dream... or nightmare... but I can't seem to remember him... yet... he looks so familiar...
