Chapter 7 - What Seems Natural

Megan woke up with the sound of her alarm. She looked at the clock: 5:00. She liked to wake up this early. She loved to wake up and run while watching the sunrise. She loved to smell the fresh air in the morning and how everything looked and felt. Adena on the other hand loved sleeping in until the very last second.

Megan got dressed in her track suit and took her walkman from her desk. She silently got out of the room, making sure not to wake up Adena. As she opened the doors of Cascadia and started to jog as she looked at her surroundings. Many thoughts went through her mind. What was going to happen to her? Certain things had come back to her but they were natural, like playing tennis. But what about the other things like how she met her best friends and the fun times they had together? She knew about them cause everyone had told her. It wasn't the same though. She knew what had happened but how did she feel at those moments? What exactly was she thinking? There were other things too. For example why exactly did she go through this path? Had she gone through it before? It felt special in some way.

As she ran through the bridge she looked at her watch: 6:00. Maybe she could go to the weight room and get a little workout in before class? "Yeah, a little workout might clear my thoughts." she thought as she ran to the school.

8:00 AM, Mrs. Wyley's class

"She was up at 5 am again this morning." said Adena. "It's like it comes natural to her."

"So many things that she did just seem natural to her. It's like for one minute you think nothing happened, like it was all a dream. Then she asks you about something or where something is and you remember that everything changed." said Cody.

Suddenly they all heard a sound from the door and saw Megan coming in

"Hey Guys!" said Megan

"You seem cheery this morning Megs." said Sebastian.

"Yeah. I had a really good run this morning. It was really relaxing."

"All right students get into your seats."

As the students got into their seats and listened to her speech on the history of the wars a beep came over the intercom, indicating a message coming up.

"Attention Students, I have a special announcement. On Next Friday there will be a retro themed dance. So come all and show off your best costumes."

All the students cheered and slapped.

"Oh my Gosh!" yelled Adena. "This will be so cool. We could go shopping!"

"Yeah, we should! It would be so cool." said Megs

"We'd have a great time" said Cody.

"So it's settled, Since tomorrow's Saturday we'll leave after lunch." Confirmed Adena.

"Definitely" Agreed Megan and Cody. Mrs. Wyley soon continued with her speech and pretty soon the school day was finished.

9:55, Megan and Adena's room

"I can't wait until tomorrow. Shopping will be fun." said Megan

"Definitely!" agreed Adena.

"Where should we go first?" asked Megan.

"Ballistix should have cool outfits." Suggested Adena.

"Ok. We should check out other stuff too. Make it a girls day. You know, shopping, coffee. Just a day to relax." suggested Megs.

"10:00 PM, Lights out Ladies!"

"Just as well I've been up since 5, Goodnight" said Megan

"Common Megan. Can't we just once stay up late?"

Megan suddenly froze, she suddenly felt strange. Adena noticed this.

"You ok Megs."

"I just feel strange, like we've had this conversation before."

Adena thought for a minute and remembered that they had.

"Oh my god Megs, We did! A few months ago. I wanted to stay up late but you didn't cause you were tired." Adena practically yelled.

"Oh my gosh. You think I'll remember anything soon?" asked Megan

"I'm sure it will. It'll come naturally like everything else has." said Adena.

"I guess. We really should go to bed. We have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow." said Megan.

"Ok. Goodnight Megs."

"Night 'Dena"

And as they drifted off to sleep neither of them could stop thinking about what the future held. Until Megan's Memory came back she'd just have to do what seemed natural.
