I turned and recognized Sai, a friend of Daniel and Malik. Another guy was running away from us, not bothering to apologize.
“Hey, Saige.” Sai’s grin widened, and I had a flash of a memory of the two of us. Wait no. That wasn’t possible. How could it be a memory if we’d just met?
We were walking down a sidewalk with buildings surrounding us. Like a big city, maybe New York, and we were holding hands and laughing. Looking utterly happy and maybe even . . . in love? No. It couldn’t be.
“Hi, Sai.” I stepped away from him, and he dropped his hands. The image disappeared.
I shook my head. What was that? A daydream? It didn’t feel like it though.
He watched me for a second. “Are you okay?”
I nodded. “Yeah, just a little overwhelmed from today.”
He ran his hands through the front of his hair, making it stand up in a messy way that looked far too attractive to be an accident. Did he practice that move in the mirror?
“Yeah, the first day of term always feels like that.” He looked behind me. “I’ve got to run. We’ve got rugby practice.”
He jogged away from me, waving before taking off toward his teammates. I watched him go, wondering what just happened and what it meant.
Chapter 14
“Saige?”
“Saige!”
I looked around and found Hannah hurrying toward me. “Are you okay? I’ve been calling your name.”
I wasn’t sure. Should I tell her about what happened? Maybe it was normal. Maybe it was nothing. I wouldn’t have been so shaken up if it hadn’t felt so damned real.
She cocked her head. “What’s wrong?”
I looked around the crowded stairs that lead up to the library’s entrance. “Let’s talk inside.”
She followed me without argument. The main lobby was set up with dozens of rolling carts filled with textbooks. That made it a lot easier to find everything we needed rather than having to hunt them down in the stacks.
Hannah double-checked my pile before we went to the checkout counter. Once we finished, she led me toward empty study rooms along the back wall. She pulled open the door of one and waved me in before shutting it and dropping her books on the large table, and I sat mine next to it.
“These rooms are charmed, so no one outside of it can hear us.”
I glanced around as if I could see proof of the spell.
“It makes it so groups can meet here without disturbing the quiet of the students studying out in the main area.”
“That’s nice.”
“It also means that whatever you say in here won’t be heard by anyone else, so tell me what’s going on.”
Where was I supposed to start? I felt like a crazy, obsessed girl because of what I saw, even if I couldn't control it.
“Have you everseensomething?”
She narrowed her eyes. “You’re going to have to be a tad more specific.”
“Like a memory of something, but it hasn’t happened yet.”
“A premonition?” she offered.
As soon as she said the word, it felt right. My intuition recognized it. “Yeah, that.”
