COMMENT BECAUSE YOU MISSED THIS STORY

The light streamed through the window, the sun's rays hitting me directly in the face.

Scrunching up my eyes to block out the light, I rolled over and stuffed my face in the nearest pillow, more effectively surrounding myself in darkness.

"Naomi." I heard Gabby's voice say softly as she gently rubbed my back.

I groaned, annoyed at the fact that I had to wake up and leave the stress free haven of my bed.

"Gabby." I grumbled back, irritated that I was currently conscious.

Gabby shook my more violently now, trying to guarantee that I would stay awake. "You have to wake up so you can tell me all about your date with Daniel."

If I wasn't awake before, I was fully up after I heard that sentence. "Why does it matter? It's not like he cares anyway," I muttered.

Gabby must have sensed my sour mood, because she approached the subject in a smoother way. "But Nay, we barely ever get any girl time. And since I just finished working the fields, I get a day off. Please will you help me bond with you, please?" she asked, sticking out her bottom lip in a pout.

I sighed, reluctantly giving in. "Fine, there's nothing much to talk about though. He took me to a top of a waterfall, and we talked about stuff." I said non-specifically, not wanting to bring up the subject of her mom.

"That's it?" She whined, "Nothing else happened?"

I thought through the events of the cliff. "No, not really. But I did want to talk to you about something-"

"Did you guys kiss? Did Daomi come back?" Gabby asked excitedly, bouncing up and down.

I flushed and turned away, feeling the tips of my ears turning pink. "No, Gabby that did not happen." I said, embarrassed by the accusation.

"Oh," she dishearteningly. "It's okay," she reassured me, "I totally ship Cisocomi too."

For the second time in the last five minutes, I felt my cheeks go red. "Thank you?" I said but it came out more like a question. "Anyway, what I wanted to talk to you about was I've had these dreams-"

"About Cisco? Or Daniel? Or both?" Gabby questioned eagerly.

I didn't even have the patience to be flustered, instead I just rolled my eyes and gave her a light shove.

"What? It was a legitimate question." Gabby defended, holding her hands up.

I sat in silence, waiting for her to promise to fully listen to everything I had to say.

"Fine, fine, I won't interrupt. Continue."

"Thank you. As I was saying, I've been having these dreams, and they're... coming true. I know it sounds kind of weird and creepy, and that's why I didn't tell you, but it has happened so many times I don't know what to do and if it means anything." I told her, scared that she would be really freaked out.

"Well, I only know of one person that can explain this." Gabby finally spoke after a pregnant pause.

My eyes widened. "Someone can explain this? Please, take me. I need to know what's happening." I begged.
