The meet

A Chapter by Creative bunny

As a little girl I was always laughing and playing around with my best friend. We always enjoyed making people laugh and putting a smile on their face. One day we were hanging out at the park by our house. We were playing on the swing. I looked up to the sky and saw a star falli9ng and the rest followed. It looked cool. It was my first time seeing this I went to tap on Jasmine’s shoulder and told her

“Look up” She was already looking up with her mouth wide open. I could tell it was her first time seeing this and so was it mines, looking back at the sky I stared in awe looking at the stars falling.; I saw something big glowing blue coming this way and I just sat there staring at how pretty it is and scared.

I woke up in the hospital. My mom and dad were crying over me when I woke up. I moved my hand and my parents looked at me and my dad called the nurse to tell her I was up. I asked my parents where Jasmine was but they ignored me and looked down, I knew something was wrong. We went home zand I kept thinking about her. When we got home my mom told me that Jasmine moved to Chicago. I just sat in sadness and shock. I had trouble getting along with kids after that happened, due to that I became an introvert.

Present-day Adora’s Point of View

I was on my way home from work. After the car accident that happened a few weeks ago, I need to be more careful because the doctor told me that I have a fractured ligament in my leg and I could go paralyzed. I have to pay more attention when crossing the street. I looked both ways and stepped on the road. I was drinking water and the water bottle fell from my hand. So I got down to pick up the bottle of water I dropped. I looked to my side only to see a car speeding in my direction.

“WAIT!”

I closed my eyes, extending my hands towards the car. Opening my eyes, I realized that the car had stopped. With a sigh of relief I got up only to see that everything around me had frozen, I raised an eyebrow.

“What is happening…?” I gasped.

“I..what the heck…?”

I bolted out of the way and glanced at the person close to me. I poked them with my finger gently,They didn’t budge. I touched their coffee and it spilled leisurely out of their hand, I slowly watched the coffee spill.

“ It’s like watching a video in slow motion but in real-time”

I clapped and everything turned back to normal and then watched the man with coffee and he was confused as to how the coffee spilled. I giggled, then looked around and realized I was already at my house.

“Hi” I greeted my mom who was watching tv on the sofa.

Then went up to my room and slept, hugging the cute soft pillow doll I got from my childhood friend. I fell asleep wondering how my childhood friend was doing, how she was, what she would look like, or what has changed about her. She is probably 23 if I'm 22 because she was always older than me. Ahh but she probably forgot about me. I mean it's been like 15 years since I last saw her before the crash. She was sad when she found out she was leaving or leaving me behind. Let me stop thinking about that before I make myself cry.

Why do I always wake up rushing in the morning? I'm going to need to set my alarm earlier than usual to eat breakfast cuz I'm going to work hungrier than a lion, I laughed to myself in my head but smiled. I saw someone familiar like my best friend. They look alike. I was trying to catch up to her but I remembered I could freeze time, in a snap time froze and ran to her to see her face then I thought I should look at her id or something to confirm it was her but I didn't want to invade her privacy. So I walked away and snapped the time. I regretted my choice to not look at her id but I didn't want to be guilty that I did that.

I wanted to give it back but I had no idea where to meet her. A week passed and I'm on my way to work but I had a feeling that I would stop at the coffee shop. I ordered a strawberry latte with extra whip cream and milk. I don’t know if it is better that I decided to stay in the shop to drink my coffee. The same woman that I had a feeling that was my childhood best friend was the same one to enter the coffee shop. I wanted to go up to her but I'm an introvert. I don't like talking to people but since I felt that she was someone I knew I went up to her. I tapped her shoulder and gave her her wallet. I asked her If she is Jasmine from cape town she shook her head I didn’t want to be weird by hugging her so I just said

“ I’m Adora” I smiled at her and left knowing I found I thought she would still be in Chicago, I wonder when she moved to florida. I wanted to get to know her but not like a weirdo.
