There's no turning back

Chapter 1

You are mine,
And it shall always be that way,
Nothing more will be divine,
No matter what you say.

It's always the same. A soothing voice echoes in my dreams, I see nothing, I know nothing except of what that person says. It's the same, always the same each time I sleep. I know I should wonder why, but I don't, since it was nothing more than a weird dream. At least I thought it was.

"Nyasha." I opened my eyes and heard my friend call me angrily. We we're in a middle of a conversation but I zoned out. "You can't keep doing this, I was telling you something very important!" She raises her voice, not loud enough for it to be inappropriate, but enough to make me feel bad. "Now will you listen to me?"

"Yes," I straighten my posture "I'm listening, start over from the top." She pauses for a moment before speaking. "Well as I was saying, we need to figure out what we for going to prom." She says in a perky tone but I groan. "Hey you promised you'd go with me, I don't care if you don't wear a dress, I need you there for pictures so we can look back on it years later."

This is my best friend Xan'ari. We became friends after realizing that no one knew how to spell or say are names correctly. Xan'ari actually likes her name but in public I call her 'Ari' since she thinks no one who is close to her should say her beautiful name. I've always admired her, even though we are similar she was way bette than me. She has short brown hair with a side a bang on left side of her face that's above her eye, a heart shape face with a shape jawline, with brilliant green eyes. She's brilliant than most people, she even graduated a half a year of her grade, she can win almost every debate, she can be really harsh on most people but can be the sweetest when around people she cares for, like a mom. She is beautiful in every way and I still wonder to this day how we've became friends. I even told her about my reaccuring dream.

"Xan'ari I don't know, it's gonna be a stretch..." I say but she cuts me off. "I want this to be special, this will be the first time we'll meet." I forgot to mention, we've never physically met. We've known each other for either six or seven years now, neither of us can really confirm how many years exactly. We met online, most people don't think things like friends online or relationships don't work out, but we managed. We're both eighteen now so with us being of age we decided we should meet soon. We told our parents we were friends in middle school but moved away, but we kept in contact ever since.

I sigh as I roll over on to my back. I'm not the best with people, let alone people I don't know. But I did convince my parents to let me skip my prom, use the money that would go to my dress and ride there, to finally see her. But by the time I travel to her, her prom will be the day of, and she already paid from my ticket to go with her.

"I know it's not ideal for you but I think it'll be a good thing, you'll meet my friends, and it won't be as weird when you meet them later on. Plus maybe you'll find-"

"I rather die than to put effort into finding a boy. Especially one still in high school."

"I mean graduation won't far away so he wouldn't be in high school anymore." I'm not even looking at her and I tell she looks mischievous.

"I don't need a man in my life, let alone an immature high schooler that won't mature until about a year into college or a couple years after high school if they don't go to college, if that happens."

"True, I can't agure with that. Anyway I am going to sleep, don't stay up too late." Before she hangs up I tell her I couldn't promise that. I pick up my from my desk and was about to start watching videos online until I see that Xan'ari sent one more text before she went offline; 'Hope your mystery person says more tonight ;^)' I rolled my eyes. She's convinced that my dream is a sign that I'll be with some soon and that I should keep an eye out.

I settle under my covers in bed and watched videos for hours until I went to sleep. And just like magic, her hope came true.
