The Worst Happy Dream : 2

No!! I shouldn't believe my sister's words! How can a twelve-year-old have a clue about good or bad omens?! What is she? Some kind of seer? Like the last time, she said...said... Crap! She's never wrong! Although, I don't wanna admit it... Fine. Let's see if it happens today. My dreams come true the next day I see it.

. . .

I washed my face and readied myself for school, donning one of the most adorable uniforms I've owned: a black and brown checkered skirt paired with a light brown shirt and a red bow. Over the neatly tucked shirt, I wore a brown checkered coat adorned with our school emblem. (It's a personal preference; we're free to pick any color for our uniform. I opted for brown. It's a perfect match.)

I slowly march down the stairs and enter the dining room. I sit next to my sister who was fixing her pigtails, my mom idly observing the family picture on the wall and dad flipping over a newspaper. For today's breakfast mom has made toast with jam and butter, a half-boiled egg, and milk. I toy with the egg when my mom asks,

"Yuni~ why aren't you eating? You barely do this~"

I opened my mouth to answer when my sister interrupted, "Somebody got dumped and cheated in a dream.."

"It was asked from me not you!" I scowled at her.

"Don't get it to your head too much, it is a dream after all." Dad was still reading the paper.

"But the curse has already been cast," I murmured, then pushed my half-eaten breakfast aside and left the table.

My school isn't a normal one, it's an elite school, as marked in our school emblem; an Eagle in front of crossed swords, and at the bottom it read, 'L'élite des élites.' You see...I'm not an average girl with an average life. Despite my looks, I'm smart. Although, I'm not ugly either... Guys swarm around me for my smarts, not my looks or my personality. I don't even know how it happened.

I enter my classroom and see that my friend is waiting for me merrily at the opposing side...why happy? She sat behind the seat by the window.

"Yu-ni-ni~!" She harmonized my name; a girl with short blonde hair and eyes deep obsidian, wearing the yellow version of my uniform. It was Uzumaki Ayumi, my best friend from middle school.

"What took you so long!? I have great news!" She exclaimed with a wave.

I whine, "Agony hit me. My life just got worst for the first time in my life!"

"That didn't make any sense?" She said bluntly.

I took my seat by the window in front of the desk Ayumi sat on. From here, I could see all sorts of things: the boys running laps on the field, the rooftop of the first year's building, the secret garden next to it...

"I hear there's a new cutie coming our way..." She explained gleefully. "But why did your life become worse for the first time?"

"In brief: A transfer student joined my class, sat next to me, we both fell in love, got jobs, get engaged, then married, had three children, had a tiny fight, and lived happily ever after until one day I wanted to go on a summer vacation to somewhere far and we had a fight about it, he left me saying he'd cheat on me and kept his word, IN MY HOUSE!" I shouted during the last part. Everyone in the class's attention was on me now.

"Shhh..." She put her finger on my lips, "It sounds horrible! What are we gonna do? What was your sister's opinion on this?" Every one of my friends knows my sister's uncanny knack for accurate predictions.

"She said in the most sexually harassing way that it's gonna happen."

"Then--" *Ding Dong Ding* Our homeroom bell rang and our teacher came into class with a boy following him. This next scene felt very nostalgic and I felt my blood boil and heart burn. I felt rage, fear, and sadness alter at once.

He stood in front of the class with his jet-black hair falling over his eyes swaying with the wind, his pupils; a mix of grey and blue, shimmering as they study the new faces, his peach-pink oval face, glimmering in the rays of sunlight that sneaks from the window curtains.

The teacher introduced him as our new classmate and my new deskmate. As he came toward me, a smile curved on his lips, and in a soft murmur he said, 'You are cute.' Then he muttered, 'Please take care of me from here onwards.' His words stuck in my head till I got punished because I wasn't paying attention in class.

Why? Reason: I felt my doom...

I decided to ignore him forever and find someone new to love. But I've kept one secret. Before my alarm, I saw the woman he was with. It's hard to believe things like that can happen. But I think I know why I had that dream.
