2 Where it all began 2 (2/2)

”Me? I think you did. Well let's go, i'm hungry”.

”All right then.” He said half smiling.

Jasper and I have been friends since junior high, but we knew each other since grade school, we just didn't talk then.

He has always been kind and helpful.

We got to the cafeteria and bought some snacks and drinks. Went to an empty table and sat down to eat.

”I had another one of those dreams again, but this time around, I could hear them speak”.

Yeah, I do tell Jasper everything. He seems more understanding than my parents by the way.

”Ummm Jasper, why do I keep having these dreams?. It doesn't make sense, I don't know these people, I have never seen them. I don't even really believe in magic, its just umm made up.. ”

”Come on now, there is magic, its real, you can't deny that. As for your visions.. ”

”Dreams Jasper, dreams more like nightmare not visions” I corrected him

”Ok, dreams. I don't know. They may have a reason. Its going to be okay. ”

”How is it going to be okay, I really now feel like I might have hit my head hard during kung fu practice. Stupid, now i'm doubting myself. How pathetic”

”Hey Isabel, stop it, don't over think, you will only hurt yourself, keep calm okay. Its all gonna be okay. Trust me.” He pats my head reassuringly

God what would I do without this boy. I look at my watch.

”Lunch time is over, let's go to class”.

We both get up, I pull him back.

”What's up Isa?”. He looked at me puzzled.

”Umm nothing, I just want to say thank you for always been here for me.”

He draws my cheek but not to the point were I feel pain and smiles.

”Let us go, I don't want a detention”.

We both left the cafeteria along with other students.

After the close of school, I talk with one of my female friends as we left class.

”What was that I saw today, the way you've been looking at Jasper”. Catherine said while poking me.

”Looking at him how?” I tried feigning ignorance.

”Don't play coy with me, you know what i'm talking about”.

”I don't”.. I lied to her

We both stare at each other, waiting for whom to blink first. Well she won, because my luck ran out when Mr kill joy approached us.

”Hey ladies” he winks at me and I blush crimson red. Catherine couldn't hide her amusement

”Ta da, I won, double time Isabel. I saw that just now” she said pointing to my cheeks

”Saw what? I'm kinda lost here ladies.” He kept on looking at the both of us.

”Ummm... I.... enhhh its no.. nothing.” I pinched myself again, determined not to make a mess of myself in his presence. Urrh I only make a mess in his presence.

”Its nothing Jasper, let us go, I need to hurry home, I think I might go for a swim later.”

Catherine pulls our hands and lead us as we left school.
