"You excited?" Asked Eve as she looked through all my dresses in my wardrobe.
"Yeah i guess" i mumbled
"What do you mean you guess? You're gonna be 18 for gods sake!"
"Yeah i know...it's just..i have this odd feeling about it, you know?..just don't worry about it, it's nothing."
it's true that i had been feeling kind of weird lately. Like something bad is going to happen. It started happening after my 16th. I was walking home after getting off the train when i had a sudden flash of images in my mind of a car crash. i ignored it not knowing what to think when a car came speeding past me and smashed into a building. Obviously that scared the shit out of me so i ran home and didn't tell anyone.
It hadn't happened since so i started to think it was just a scary coincidence but then i started having the same kind of feeling. There weren't as many images, like before, but there was something.
I still had never told anyone.
Eve shrugged her shoulders and finally picked out a knee length, tight fitting, black dress with cropped sleeves.
"Alexis, hows this? it would suit you perfectly." she handed me the dress and i walked into the bathroom to put it on. She was right it did suit me. i was pale with long black hair that went just a little past my elbows. My eyes are an unusually neon shade of blue, people have always been amazed at them and i don't know why. They're just eyes. "told you, it looks great! Now what should i wear?"
"just wear your short pink one, you always look great in that."
"i know but i wear that dress all the time. how about the blue one. You know the one thats nearly the same colour as your eyes?"
"um... yeah. Anyway you should probably go now, i need to get up early tomorrow to do some stuff before you come over."
"OK, see you tomorrow then for the big day" we hugged and she walked out of my house smiling. Luckily, Eve only lived across the street from me. We had met when we were 14 and she moved here. When my parents invited her family over i found out she was going to go to the same school as me. We became friends in only a week and have been best friends ever since.
