When Worlds Collide

Chapter Three

Lucas' POV

"So you are saying that you dreamed about her? Chan?" My older brother asked me. It was weird I know. This was the first time that I have dreamed about something that really happened. I dreamed about her, saving the little girl and being the one hitted by the car. I don't know why I acted that way. I prevented it to happen by being the one to save the little girl. It was really weird.

"Bro, did you fall in love at first sight?"

"What?!" He laughed at me. So that's what he's thinking all this time?

"Bro, I respect you but you are insane." Aish. This policeman really has a weird side.

"Anyway bro, I already talked to the nurses and doctor and they said that you can go home already.

"That's great. I don't want to stay here at the hospital for longer."

"Okaay." He smiled at me teasingly. Wow. I think it was a bad idea to tell him that I have dreamed about Chan. Now, he will tease me again and again.

I find Chan an interesting girl. I also find her cute actually but I really wonder why did she appear in my dreams when I just met her days ago. Why?

Chan's POV

It was the first day of my college life and it seems like I will have a peaceful day this day. I walked down the hallway going to the third floor for the college orientation. Yes, of course. During the first day, college orientation always comes first. I really don't know what could we get from that orientation. We would only be asked to listen to some speakers, the president of the school. Boring. Tch.

"Chan?" What the---What is he doing here?!

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I'll study here. Why do you seem so surprised? And why are you whispering?" Oh--Why am I whispering?

"None of your business." Out of all people, why am I always stuck with this Lucas?

"Are you going to the auditorium?"

"Uhm, actually yes."

"Great! Let's go together!" Wow. I thought this would be peaceful but I guess not. He's too noisy for a guy.

"Why are you too noisy? Your voice can be heard all over the hallway."

"Really? But this is my normal voice." Whatever. I just rolled my eyes at him.

Arriving at the auditorium, we took the seats at the middle because it was the perfect seat for me actually. You can't easily be noticed. Once you were in front, or at the very back, you can be easily noticed because it's either you are really listening or you are not.

The host for the orientation stood on stage and welcomed us. He also introduced the speakers. Wow, this will be really boring. Three speakers in a row? I would rather stay at home than listen to them. After that, the first speaker stood at the podium and started delivering his message.

"Do you want to go out?"

"What?"

"Let's escape. I'm bored." No way.

"If you want to escape, do it alone okay? I don't want to be involved with you. What if someone caught us? We might be punished."

"Okay, if that's what you want."

He carefully tiptoed away from his seat and paved his way to the exit door of the auditorium. Wow. He really escaped. That guy-he is really fearless. He does what he really wants without looking into the consequences. Whatever. Good luck to him.

I actually took AB Broadcast Communication because I really want to be a journalist and a new reporter. It was really my dream and I want to pursue it. I want to deliver important news to other people and I am also interested to make documentaries. My dad is a former news reporter but he died in an accident while he was on his way to a site where he was supposed to make his documentary. I actually dreamed of that event where the car he was in lost its break and it crashed on a tree. The car fell on a cliff. It was really terrifying that I don't want my dad to leave the house but he insisted. It's not special to have this ability and it is no fun specially when you dreamed of your loved ones' death. I blamed myself for my father's death then I realized that whatever happens, if I were to dream about a person's death again, I will do everything to prevent it from happening specially if it's my mother.

Eventually, after three hours of listening to the speakers, the orientation was over and we can actually go home. Classes will start formally tomorrow. I am now hungry so I think I would drop by a cafe first to eat something before going home. Since I think I would have orders to deliver again once I arrive at home.

"Hey." Oh my god!

"What the--You scared me!" Who wouldn't be scared when someone jumped and appeared all of a sudden in front of you?

"Is the orientation done?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Oh--oh--Wait, you're frowning again. Can you even smile for one second? You look like you're always mad. Am I that annoying?"

"Yes you are. You're so noisy!" I don't even know why I am so annoyed with Lucas. I just don't want noisy people. Tch.

"Well, bear with my noise. I am just the way I am. So let's go?"

"And why do you think I'll go with you?"

"You are hungry right? Let's eat!" H--how did he know? Alright Chan, just pretend that you are not surprised.

"I--I'm not hungry."

"Really huh?" I was about to respond but my stomach suddenly made noise so I was busted and now he was really smiling teasingly at me. Aish! What a wrong timing!

"Okay fine!"

"Yes! Let's go!" He grabbed my wrist and ran, dragging me somewhere so I really have no choice but to run with him. Why does he drag me all the time? He doesn't also mind if he was holding my hand. Ugh. What is this feeling? Of course, for a girl like me, I would feel awkward with him holding my hand. I want my first boyfriend to hold my hand but now, that would never happen because of this guy. Aish.

We stopped by a cafe nearby and he doesn't wait for me to say anything instead, he dragged me inside then to the counter to order. He ordered food of course and paid for it.

"Hey! I am going to pay for my food. I don't want to be indebted to you!"

"Aigoo, Chan. We are friends already right? Just treat me great food next time. This time, its my treat." He smiled and winked at me. Wow, what was that? He took the tray with our food and sat on the vacant seat he found. I sat across him and took the frappe and slice of cake he ordered. This is my favorite. How---Ugh! This is freaking me out!

"Hey you!"

"Hmm?"

"Are you stalking me?"

"Huh?!" He widened his eyes with my question. I think it was really a coincidence--a weird coincidence.

"N-nothing. Nevermind." I heaved a deep sigh before sipping on my frappe. This is really awkward, I wanna go home! I want to asked him about his brother Eros, because they actually don't look alike but I guess it will be too fast to ask. I am curious about it actually but maybe some other time.

"Oh--it's raining." I looked at the window and it was really raining. The weather forecast today will be sunny but it actually rained.

"It took a long time to rain again. I thought it will be sunny today." I uttered.

I really don't like it when it rains. It reminds me of my father. It was raining when that incident happen. I can't do anything about it. I didn't do anything about it. I am so useless.

"Chan, are you okay?"

"H--huh? Oh--y--yes."

"You know what? I really like it when it rains." Huh?

"Huh?"

"You don't have to be afraid of the rain. You have to play with the rain." Why is he telling this to me all of a sudden?

"The rain saddens me."

"The rain saddens you when you actually think you are sad. But if you play with it, it will make you stronger." I really hope that it would be that easy.

"I--I'll just go to the comfort room." His mood changed all of a sudden. Is he okay?

"A--are you okay?" I can see in his eyes that he was panicking already and he can't calm down.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'll be back."

"O--okay." I replied and he hurriedly paved his way to the comfort room. What could it me now?

Lucas' POV

She can't know. She can't see me.

She must not see me it this state.

Geez. Why of all timing?
