Chapter 4:
Previously
She pointed at one card and said, "Cammie, you will find your life partner…" She stopped for a while I waited for her to finish. "…on the seventh of this month!"
This month? OMG! I was going to meet the boy of my dreams this month! I was so scared; I mean what if he didn't like? And sooooo excited! I wouldn't be surprised if my face ripped up because I was smiling so widely.
"Today's the 1st. That means seven days from now…" I said slowly.
"Yes." Abby looked down at the cards then up at me, "Seven days from now, you will find him at seven o'clock in the morning." She looked down again. "In a place away far away from here. Somewhere close to water. Maybe on a beach." She finished.
My face fell. "somewhere far away from here? But, Abby, I have no plans from going way from here." I said. I felt as if a balloon has just deflated inside of me.
"You won't go there, Cammie, Destiny will take you," Abby said simply.
"But how will I recognize him? How will I know it's him?" I asked.
"When you meet him, he'll be wearing seven different colours."
Abby smiled and I smiled back at her.
At that precise moment, Mace, Bex and Liz walked over.
"Come on, Cammie, Come off it." Said Macey. "We've been waiting for ages. You are taking so long."
"In school, you said you didn't believe in destiny. And now, here you are, glued to Abby." Said Bex.
"Abby's card reading is awesome. Do you want to know what she said." When we were little, we made this pact to tell each other everything. And we still do, after all that time. That's why I told them. That and the fact that they will get it out of me one way or another.
"What?" Liz asked.
"That I'll find my life partner is seven days." I said.
"I'm sorry Abby, but I think this prediction is never coming true. Because Cammie wants three boys, not one. She wants' a boy who doesn't smoke, drink or lie." Said Bex. Everyone laughed. I just smiled.
"You tell me aunty. Can one boy have all these qualities?" Liz asked.
"I haven't met your boy," My boy? Since when was he ever mine. I don't even know him! Abby continues talking, "So I don't know if he smokes, drinks or lies. But one thing I'm certain of. You will meet that boy in seven days."
*:*:*:*:*
That night, in my house, after we had dinner, we sat in a circle in my room playing strip truth or dare.
"Ok, girls, you know the rules, so lets play. I'll start." Said Macey. She put the glass bottle in the middle and spun it. It landed on Bex. Bex said 'dare' before Mace could even open her mouth.
"Ok, I dare you to…" She thought for a moment then said, "Prank call the head master." Ok, this was going to be funny.
"I'd love to, but I don't have his number." Bex said.
"Good thing I got earlier then, isn't it.?" Macey smiled easily. Bex held her hand out for the phone the number written on a piece of paper. She then typed the number in and pressed call. After a few rings, someone picked up the phone.
One thing for sure, it definitely wasn't the headmaster.
"Hello, who is this?" A woman. Definitely a women's voice. We all looked at each other and burst out giggling. Bex made shushing gestures but we couldn't stop. Until we heard the next thing.
We heard giggling on the other side of the phone and the women saying, "Stop it Simon, I'm on the phone." And started giggling again. We all looked at each other and started laughing.
The women was back again, so we shut up to listen.
"Who is this?" she asked.
Bex put on a male voice. "Hello, is Mr. Smith there?"
"oh yes, just wait a second please."
"Hello?" Now that was Mr. Smith's voice.
"Hello, we called to let you know that your 10 boxes, each containing 20 bottles of mayonnaise, will arrive later then you expected."
"What?! I don't even like mayonnaise-"
"Why did you order so many when you don't even like them?" Said bex in the man voice.
"Can you please cancel the order. But I would like to know where I can get some condoms from?"
Us three started giggling again, but Bex stayed cool enough to say, "run down to the pharmacy" before she hung up and we all started laughing again.
"That was so worth it." I managed to say.
The rest of the game continued like that until we were only wearing bras and underwear. After that we decided it was time to go to bed.
*:*:*:*:*
The others fell asleep quickly, but I couldn't, so I wrote in my diary.
"Dear Diary, today Liz's aunt Abby totally surprised me. She said I'll find my life partner seven days from now at seven o'clock in the morning somewhere far away from here on a beach. He would be wearing seven different colors. I have never believed in destiny and anything like that, and I think I still don't, but something tells me that Abby's prediction will come true. How? I don't know. One thing I want to know now is how is he going to be."
I closed my diary, put it on the night stand and went to sleep, dreaming about cute boys on beaches.
I tried to make it as long as I could. Hope you like the truth or dare part.
