Life compelled

59~Linked

I sit at a table writing in a small booklet about my day. I've found that it's easier to write things down such as your feelings and ideas instead of keeping them bottled inside your head

I reach into my bag for my textbook and a single piece of paper flies out of it

A study guide for my next test

I blot out of my seat to grab it when it lands on the ground next to a pair of shoes

The man picks it up and hands it to me "this yours?"

I smile and nod "thanks. I can't afford to miss this test"

We spend a few seconds standing and smiling until I speck up

"Sorry. I'm Isabella"

"I'm Grayson"

I wake up to my own heart beating out of my chest

What was that about?

I made plans to met up with Brie that same day so I made my way there

I needed to talk about this

It wasn't just a normal dream

It felt...different

I arrived at the breakfast spot and after we ordered I spoke up. "So I had a dream last night. About Grayson" she furrows her eyebrows. Then raises one and says "A sexy dream?"

"No no. A normal dream. Of us meeting. But it was weird" "don't worry. It was probably normal and you're just over analyzing it"

"But" my voice is cut off by her phone ringing. "Grayson?" "Brie I need to tell you about something" I hear over the phone

"Yeah What is it?" "I had this dream last night that kinda freaked me out"

She looks at me "was it by any chance about Isabella?" "Yeah how'd you know?" "Because she had the same one"

Grayson's POV

I walk through the psychology section of the library. Looking for something that might explain how two people can have the same dream at the same time

"Big test coming up?" I hear behind me

I turn to see Brooke. "Uh no just interested"

I walk to the nearest table and start going through the titles

"Need some help. Psychology is my major" "I don't think it's worth your time"

"Try me" she sits down. I pull up a chair and sit across from her

"Let's say someone has a dream about someone else and that someone else had the same dream" "things like that happen all the time" "yeah but what if it was different. What if it felt like it was real, like it was happening in another life"

She looks at me confused. I shouldn't have even told her. "You know what nevermind. Stupid question"

She nods and I remember what I told her yesterday about hanging out

"You wanna go get some coffee or something?" I ask her. "Yeah. Sure"

Isabella's POV

We head to Olivia's house and decided to study while Olivia read through some books

"Find anything?" I ask hoping for something other than no

"Not really"

I sigh and tap my pencil on my book
