Destined Love?

Tuesday: First Impressions

Everything was completely white. I saw nothing but a piano far away from where I was standing. Without thinking, I ran towards it and sat on the bench.

The first piece that came into my mind was definitely one of my favourite ones, "Nocturne No.2 In E Flat, Op.9 No.2" by Chopin. So, I started playing and I felt someone beside me. I stopped playing and looked to my right. It was him!

"Y-you came back!", I said while hugging him.

"Of course, Beth. I promised.", he responded with a smile.

"Shall we?", he continued.

"Of course!", I replied.

He was playing a favourite piece of mine which was "Liebesleid" by Fritz Kreisler. Most people referred to it as "Love's Sorrow". Well, I had A LOT of favourite piano pieces and "Love's Sorrow" was definitely one of them.

He played it so beautifully. I was truly happy to witness that astounding moment.

"I love you, Beth.", he whispered while playing.

"I beg your pardon?", I said, although I actually heard what he uttered.

"Oh, nothing", he responded with the cutest chuckle.

"Alright, if you say so.", I said with a giggle.

"Awww. You're so adorable when you giggle", he uttered.

I smiled. He finished playing "Love's Sorrow" and it was very exquisite. We were having a great time until the surroundings started shaking. The piano shattered into a million pieces and the man was fading away, again! I couldn't let that happen!

"Hold on!" I said while holding his hand.

"It's okay, Beth." he said, fading away.

The shaking kept going until everything around me disappeared. I was hearing absurd sounds. I was running around the place and the sounds were annoying me. The horrible noises sounded so familiar and then..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to my alarm at 5:00 in the morning. Another weird dream. I was gunna go back to sleep but well, I was already wide awake which sucked. I immediately grabbed my 'secret' journal and wrote about my dream. I had nothing else to do but prepare for school, so I did.

I did my usual morning routine and headed downstairs. I cooked myself some omelette and poured a glass of orange juice. Not gunna lie, I was pleased of how the omelette tasted. It was undeniably delicious.

I walked to school and I noticed that someone was behind me. I looked and it was that nerd Veronica told me about. "Jacob Vaile"!

"It seems like we're neighbours", I said to him.

Jaocb didn't reply. That was kind of rude, honestly. I continued walking while listening to some cool music. I finally arrived at school and went straight to the classroom.

It was still 7:28 when I got in which was awesome! I sat on my place and something was bugging me. I decided to sketch it on a piece of paper. When I finished, I saw a little girl and a tall man walking towards the sunlight. I was wondering how that was bothering me..

Science class was about to start which I wasn't excited about. So, I quickly kept the paper inside my bag. We were given a group activity and man, I was never great at science. Joe was one of my groupmates which made me happy. I didn't know why.

I decided to get my pencil case. It was hard for me to get to my place since the room was very crowded. While I was walking, I accidently bumped into a classmate. He was definitely furious.

"Watch where you're going, idiot!"  he said angrily.

"Sorry!" I replied furiously.

I realized that I was talking to Jacob. Damn, I must say that he was very rude and very mean! When was he going to learn about his unacceptable attitude?!

I finally got my pencil case and went back to my place, feeling absolutely ballistic. Joe noticed how I was acting.

"Hey Beth, you okay?", Joe asked in a worried tone.

"Yeah. I'm fine", I said.

"I know you're not. What's wrong?", Joe replied.

"Ever heard of that Jacob guy? He literally flipped out because I accidently bumped into him", I said angrily.

"Oh. Well, he's never the nicest guy. But don't worry, he'll change, eventually. After all, it's still the second day", Joe reassured me.

"I truly doubt that", I uttered.

*time skip to lunch time*

I went to the cafeteria to look for Veronica. The cafeteria was humongous and I had a hard time finding her. And then, I found her, sitting with a bunch of people. So, I approached her.

"Oh! Hey Beth!", Veronica greeted me.

"Hey V! Sorry to disturb ya", I responded.

"It's okay! Also, any first impressions about Jacob Vaile?", she asked without hesitation.

"u-umm", I stuttered.

"Oh, come on, Beth. Everyone has first impressions on someone", she continued.

"Well, Jacob? he's a total asshole", I answered.

"Dang. Well, he'll eventually change", she said.

"That's what Joe told me earlier", I uttered.

"Who now?", she asked.

"Joseph Baker. he's a very cool guy", I responded with a smile.

"If you say so", she said.

"Well, gotta go now. Bye V!", I greeted her goodbye.

I walked back to the classroom and got my sketchbook. I drew what was in my mind. The first one was the scenery from my previous dream; A couple sitting by the seaside, watching the sunset. The second one was from the dream I had earlier; A man playing the piano and a girl watching the man happily.

They were trashy but I decided to keep them anyway. I noticed Joe looking at my grotesque drawings. I tried to cover them with my hands but I was too late.

"Wow. I must say that you're very good at drawing", Joe said with a smile.

"T-thanks, I-I guess", I stuttered.

*time skip to dismissal*

It was 17:10. I arranged my things and went out of the room. I walked towards the gate and saw Jacob. I didn't want to go near him. I continued walking and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Jacob.

"Well, look who it is. I'm very happy to see you", I said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, Beth. About what happened today", Jacob apologized.

I didn't reply to Jacob. I just continued walking and played some music. When I finally arrived home, I got some brownies and ran upstairs. I picked up my journal and wrote about what happened that day. I also got 3 of my trashy drawings and pasted them.

I guessed that there was a "meaning" behind those dreams I had since day one. Either I'm going to find "love" this school year, or probably just my imaginations. But why?

I kept thinking until I became very exhausted. I decided to take a short nap.. and then I woke up...
