(English) The Change

Acknowledging

As we continued to walk towards the building where my history 101 class was held, I made sure to stay quiet and let Phillip and Jerome talk.

I saw the look in Jerome's eyes when Phillip finished my statement and didn't want to incur any wrath he had for something that wasnt my fault.

"Well boys, this is my class." I said as we arrived to the building. "Jerome, I'll see you at lunch ok. I'll get you your favorite, pizza and fries." I said smiling sweetly hoping he had forgotten what Phillip said and trying to seem like all I wanted was him to act sweetly towards me.

"You're taking history 101? That's my first class. What are the odds?"

Phillip excited and terrified me with his statement. I could feel Jerome's eyes burrowing into me like daggers.

But this wasnt my fault. Of course it was my fault in Jerome's eyes.

"Uh, yeah. This is my first class of the day." I said trying not to act exciting saying this to him.

"Well BABE, I will see your cute self at lunch. Have a great class and learn alot." As he said that suddenly he grasped me in his arms, kissing me hard. And making sure that Phillip knew I was his.

"Omg. Get off me!" I screamed in my mind. So embarrassing that Phillip was witnessing this obviously stupid display of male dominance.

"Great kiss babe." Jerome said looking at Phillip the whole time. "I'll see your cute ass at lunch." Giving me a smack on the butt before turning and heading to his first class of athletics.

"Phillip, I'm so sorry. That was completely embarrassing. Jerome just has a hard time realizing I will be around other people and those people might be males." Why was I making excuses for him? Why couldn't I just say the truth to Phillip?

"Its ok I guess. Some guys just feel a need to let others know what is theres but to me it just feels like a signal of telling the world that they own someone and that the person is their property of which they will do with what they see fit. But if I was him, I would probably do the same if you were my girl." His voice sounded so sincere. Wait, did he just flirt with me? Was he actually flirting with me or was I imagining things?

As I sat in the back of the class Phillip took the desk right behind mine. I could feel his stares on the back of my head. But not like the stares I got from Jerome. These were stares I didn't mind at all. My mind started to wonder back to flashbacks of my dreams. I could feel the soft caresses and kiss the man in my dreams gave me. I could feel his loving embrace while he held me.

"Samantha?????"

That totally broke my concentration.

"Huh? Yeah, I mean yes?"

"Did you have a nice daydream? You seemed like you were deep in thought." Phillip asked me as apparently he had moved into the desk right next to me no longer sitting behind me.

"Oh uh, no. I wasnt daydreaming. Just uh, remembering some of the things we discussed last week in class." I was a terrible liar but I had to try and lie. If I told him "I'm remembering my dreams about a mystery man that look and acted like you" he would think I was insane.

"Samantha, can I ask you a question?"

"I guess. I'll try my best to answer it." My curiosity was peaked that he wanted to ask me a question.

"Do you believe that sometimes the universe makes things happen at just the right time? Like maybe something's are just written in the stars?" His question completely catching me off guard. And then I looked at his eyes. The sparkle after he asked me this question, something was there. But I couldn't quite figure it out.

"Um well, someone once told me that the universe let's things happen at the right time, and that when it's written in the stars its supposed to happen." That was the only answer I could think of to his question. The only one I'd ever heard from the man in my dreams that seemed appropriate to answer his question.

"That sounds like a great answer, beautiful one."

I felt my mouth drop open and my eyes widen. "What did he just say?" I thought to myself. Did I just hear him right? What was going on?

I felt the color leaving my face and the room start spinning.

"Shhhh, it's me my beautiful one. Dont be afraid. I told you I would find you. Please breathe and relax." He whispered into my ear. His voice so soothing and calming.

"What is going on? Is it really you? Am I still dreaming?" All that would come out of my mouth were questions. I felt my body slumping in my desk.

"Easy beautiful one. I will explain everything. But in the meantime you have to relax and calm yourself." I did as he asked. I started to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth trying to steady my breathing to calm myself down.

"But, you were just a dream." I said looking at him. Tears almost filling my eyes.

"I promise you I will explain everything. All I can say right now is that no, this is not one of your dreams. And that I'm here for you."

As he said these things his hypnotic eyes finished calming me. His eyes were so loving and kind. How could he not calm me down.

"After class, I think we need to go somewhere and talk. That way I can explain everything to you. I wont lie to you and I will tell you everything." The words that he said filled my heart but also put a pit feeling into my stomach as if the things he was going to tell me were going to change me forever.

All I could do was nod my head in agreement and try to focus on class.

What was I about to hear from Phillip?
