Chapter 6: Heart to heart

Cally's POV

I stood up from my desk I stared at my best friend.

"I thought you hated me."I told her. Sophie gave me a strange look.

"Why would you think that? You're my best friend. I could never hate you." Sophie stated as she pulled me up and walked me out of the classroom. I was still dazed and just went along with it. I thought about what I thought had happened. Maybe it was a dream, but it was hard to think my subconscious came up with it.

"Sophie, what's today's date?" I asked her.

"The 28th." She stated. It was the 30th last I checked. Maybe it was a dream, or maybe it was a glimpse of the future and I'm being given a second chance to fix it. Well regardless of what it was, I have learned that I can never tell Sophie. I'll have to keep pretending I'm mortal, I can't risk her finding out I'm a Kalabar, risking losing her as a friend. I can't blow this. I have never had a friend like Sophie, and I'm not sure I could ever find another friend like her.

"Cally, you been kinda werid since you woke up, you okay?" She asked. I shook my head quickly getting my current thoughts out of my head. As weird as all that is I'm here now, It hasn't happened yet and it's not gonna happen, I won't let it.

"Yeah. I'm fine, just had a werid dream that's all."

"What was it about? Was in it?" Sophie excitedly queried

"You were, but it was kinda scary, so I'm not sure I wanna talk about." I said hoping she would drop it. Her smile dropped and she leaned over to my ear.

"Did it have to do with me being a witch? Most of the stuff on tv isn't true, I don't hate mortals." I should have know that she would think of that. I suppose she did tell me only like an hour ago.

"I know you don't, and it's not really about that. I guess I do gotta say it. The dream was scary, not because you were scary but because our friendship ended. In the dream you basically told me you hated me and never wanted to see me again. I couldn't stand the thought." I stopped us in the middle of the hall and looked in her eyes. "This is one of my greatest fears, growing up I didn't have many friends, no close ones, at least not my age. My mom died when I was young, my dad became a workaholic, and my brother was rebellious. Conclusion you should take from this, Is that I NEVER had a friend like you. And I'm scared that one day you will realize I don't matter as much as you thought or that I'm to werid or nerdy and you won't want to be my friend any more." By now the halls had mostly cleared. Sophies face showed deep concern and care. I had even surprised myself by what I had said. I had never opened up like that before to anyone. Oh my gosh, my cheeks are wet, I never cried. I frantically wiped my cheeks but Sophie pulled me into a hug. The bell rang, but for once we didn't care. She whispered in my ear

"That could never happen Cally. I've never had a friend like you either, I could never hate you, I love you so much, you are like my sister, part of my family." We pulled apert and she looked at me, "except I like you better then Marnie at times." We both smiled at that. I also noticed now that she had been crying to. As we both composed are selves we looked around.

"WE probably should get to class." I forced a giggle.

"Yeah you are probably right." She smiled took my hand and started to our next class.
