Unknown Fate

Chapter 1

I've been having this strange dream lately. About someone fading little by little from me. My hands can't reach him and my body is competely paralized. I can feel my heart beat going faster and faster as he fades away. It's a heart beat consumed by frustration. It's an empty and dark place. It's not like someone is pushing him away. So, why can't I reach him? Most importantly, what does my dream is trying to tell me?

"Jaymie, wake up!" said Mom

I could hear her voice, but somehow I can't wake up. He's almost gone. My eyes, I can't open them! He's gone!

"Jaymie! Are you deaf? Wake up already, you're going to be late for school" said mom while I woke up suddenly.

"Mom" I cried desperatly.

I hugged her like if I was the one who was fading away. Like this, I wake up almost everyday. My heart still beating really fast. I feel sad and lonely. What's wrong with me?

"Jaymie, are you okay?" asked mom

" Yes, I just had a nightmare, that's all... " I said calmly so she wouldn't worry.

" Well, go get ready for school" said mom relieved.

My parents are acting strange lately, like if they are hiding something from me. Anyway, today is my last day of senior year. It's finally over! My mom always told me I should be more social. But for what? Teenagers this days are so cruel, empty and unsensible. I don't fit in their world.

"Are you ready?" asked Dad excited.

"Dad, It's a normal day of school" I said while doing a bun to my hair.

"No, it's not! It's your last day of senior year. Won't you miss your friends" he said while

giving me breakfast.

"I have no friends, Dad" I said firmly.

"Let's pretend I never asked that, okay?"said Dad worried.

" Sure" I replied

My dad is always working, of course. Why would he know if I have friends or not, can't blame him. He seems bothered by something, I can tell by the way he taps his nose. That's so retarded.

"Have a nice day, Daughter." he said kindly while leaving me at the front gate at school.

"You too, Dad" I said awkwardly.

There is something going on, definetly. "Have a nice day?" When has he ever told me that?

"Are you Jaymie?" Someone asked me randomly as I arrive to school.

" Yes..." I replied asking myself who could this person be?

"The principal is looking for you" he said and

left immediatly

Why would the principal look for me? That's more strange than my dad being nice.

"Jaymie! Welcome, come on in!" said the principal quite excited about my visit

"Okay..." I said softly

"Sit down, please. You see, I have some news for you. Some pretty good news"

Hmm, some good news for me...

"What's that about?" I asked

"Well, I've been watching you, you know? And I noticed you have a certain passion for music, don't you?" he said quite convinced

"How do you..." I tried to ask

"Oh, no time for explinations... I recommended you to the best Art School here at California. They agreed. That's it. You're so welcome" he interupted

My dream is to become an orchestra musician so this news for me were extremly important. I felt alive. I can't believe the principal did that for me. Most importantly I'll be able to finally do what I love and see the world a little brighter.

"Just like that? You didn't even asked me if those were my plans. No, wait. I have never talked to you before. What?" I said confused

"Take it or leave it. Here's the application. Now if you'll excuse me" he said and then just left

"Principal, wait"

Did he just tapped his nose right now? Just what is wrong with this people. No, I mean. What was that all about? Is he joking? Can I really apply to such school? It's amazing but just how did he found out? This is too good to be true. It might be a reward from God for my bad dream every night.

"Mom? I have great news! The principal just recommended me to this university that's really..." I said excited

"Jaymie, I don't think that will be possible" she interupted

" What? What are you talking about? You are not sending me to an university? You gotta be kidding" I argued

" No, It's just... Can we talk this at home?" she said quite worried

"Mom! Mom!" She hung up...

Seriously, what is wrong with her? Is she kidding right now? I must head home right now.
