It's funny how a day can go by without a single realization that a life changing event might have occurred just moments before, but that's how it usually is and in my case, this turned out to be almost a science! Haha, I was naive back then, just a shadow doing the bare minimum to survive, but little did i know that destiny had set in motion a plan to screw me over....at some level, I knew that eventually the gears would start moving again but i never planned on anything like this...
"When the hell do you plan on getting a girlfriend?"
"why the hell do you care?" Now don't take this the wrong way, this was all said in mid laugh. Heather was never the one to hold back what she taught, in fact, she regularly pointed out how much of a loser I was, but I always took it as part of her ego. She was a friend, someone to pass time with, nothing important.
"Well I do care! You follow me around! It's about time you get somebody else to, u know, concentrate on!" Her arrogance did bother me sometimes, but once u got passed that...well, she was normal.
"Woah, woah! I'm pretty sure that having the same classes as you does not mean i 'follow' you and more importantly, I recall the fact that it was you who engaged me?" Haha. nice prank from Destiny, at first I just took it as a major coincidence, but to have every single class be the same as if they copied and pasted them? You tell me.
"Oh please, I took pity on you, you looked like an abandoned puppy all by yourself! come on...woof woof, Haha."
"Screw you! Haha!" Yeah, it was true, it wasn't like i could pack up my old friends and move them with me! So yeah, it was true, I spent a lot of time alone, until Heather and Nicole came by.
"I thought he looked adorable!”
"Nicole, you think everything is adorable!" Oh Nicole! It would be horrible to say she was just another of Destiny's pawns, I did love her at some point, but Destiny proved to destroy that instantly.
"True but Vic isn't a thing! He falls under a different‘cute-o-meter’ right. Vic? " God, I was so stupid back then , not even these *winks* were able to penetrate through that thick skull of mine, but that's all history...
Time went by and Nicole and Heather began to grow on me and everything was just flowers and love! But I soon realized that that was my first mistake, I got attached to them.... and by the time I realized it, it was too late, Destiny already owned my future and my life.
A whole year passed like this, without troubles, happy! Haha Haha! Me, happy?!! Haha, the thought just gives me tickles, but back then it was true!
But it wasn't without reminders, now and then, there where reminders of my upcoming doom, I was just too stupid to realize them. But one of them did stick, there was one occasion that really did impact me and it took place one clear night in September...
"Sorry I couldn't go, Vic."
" I told you not to be sorry....You’re already buying ice cream, odds are I’ll be paying for this for the rest of my life." Who could resist? Ice cream and with a girl like Nicole?
"I’m not that mean!"
"Haha, of course not!" It was a perfect night, clear skies, full moon, perfect werewolf weather, but me, having cookie dough ice cream and walking in the mall with my crush, oh yeah, I had it going for me.
"Are you sure it was OK not to invite Heather?"
"It’s fine! Haha, as long as we don't say anything, she'll never find out! So shh *wink*" Of course it wasn't okay and I knew it and Heather eventually did find out. Because of my stupidity, it was the reason our friendship never lasted. But I was happy, and at that moment, that was all that mattered.
And so the night continued on...unexpectedly, the couples started showing up, and stupid me began getting nervous and for some reason, I couldn't help but stare at the couples holding hands.
"Oh god, you’re helpless!"
"What?"
"How long are you going to have me waiting?"
"For what? What are you talking about?"
"Ugh!" Yeah, I was clueless, sorry! But when she grabbed my hand, I was a little shocked! And that's how the rest of the night went, happily. But if you think the night couldn't get any better...you’re right, it didn't. It got much, much worse.
"Hey Vic, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, anything!"
"You sure?"
"Come on, hit me."
"OK.....What would you so if I, along with everybody that you know, would just suddenly die?"
"What?"
"Haha yeah, weird question, but sometimes I think about stuff like that…” I never heard the last of that sentence. I was stuck on the whole death thing. Who wouldn't? Back then, I was just like any other person, naive. But in this new world, no one would even dream of being as ignorant. Not that they would be alive anyway.
After that, things went back to normal, back to that never ending ignorance.
And then she came…
It was like any other day, sunny, not too hot, just averagely normal, but looks are deceiving.
"Victor!" I was always a reader and yeah, I’m a guy! Shocker! And it wasn't a coincidence that I was doing just that in that early morning, waiting for class to start.
"Kareliz, if you come for the math homework, I have two very good words I can say to you! Fuc..."
"Not that tard! Here, I want you to meet someone." Now thinking about it, why the hell did I look up? I would have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had just continued reading! As I looked up , there was Kareliz with her usual blandness, but behind her...she was small, the type you would be afraid to break, but her eyes...oh those eyes, that green color, they held character. Her soft brown hair flowed down lazily, but it complemented her in a way that only nature itself was capable, she wasn't like any other i had seen before, something about her, something instantly drew me in. Something that up to this day I can’t keep off my mind.
"Vic this is Pris. Pris, this is Vic." Lets get one thing straight, she wasn't the prettiest or the most sensual and it might have been the hormones but I knew from that first look, that she, eventually, would be mine.
"Hey..."
"Hey...nice to meet you."
It’s funny how I can pinpoint the exact two phrases where all this started, but its true. I should have run away, but I didn't know, I just didn't know how one day, she would be my death. That day went by so fucking normally! And yet my fate, without me knowing it, was already set, with time and day of expiration…
