Dakota's POV
"Why won't you answer me?" Cat tried to look in my eyes but I turned away from her.
"Because your question is--its ridiculous! How do expect me to answer it?" I countered, trying to guide her away from the subject by trivializing it.
"With the truth obviously."
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I wished I could tell her the truth, but it was impossible. Lying to her wasn't an option either, she was too intuitive. It was the last period of the day and I was pretending to pay attention to Mr. Varner but it was difficult with Cat's persistent whispering. She had asked the one question that was impossible for me to answer. How had I known that Miss Russell was going to fall? Of course I told her that I didnt know but she wasn't buying it.
"Dakota."
"What?"
"Please, will you at least answer me?"
"I can't."
"Why not?" She persisted, her dark green eyes boring into mine.
"It's complicated."
"I can handle it."
"Fine. Later."
I leaned back in the chair, resigned. I would have to come up with something or else she would never leave it alone. Leave it to me to befriend someone who actually looked at me and was perceptive. I wasn't used to being seen, not like that. People generally avoided me and I liked it that way.
The final bell rang and I stood up slowly knowing that in a few seconds time she would be pressing me for answers again. It's not that I didn't trust her; it's just that she couldnt possibly believe me. We walked outside into the fresh sunshine and headed towards my truck. I had, quite courteously, offered to drive her home since her house was only a block away from mine.
The engine roared to life and I backed out of the driveway, waiting for the stream of questions to begin again. They didn't come; she sat quietly, her face a mask of emotions and her mouth pressed into a thin line as she looked at me.
"Is it later?"
"I suppose," I said, suppressing a laugh.
"Well?"
"Deductive reasoning."
"Humph."
"You dont believe me?"
"Not a word."
"What if I said you wouldn't believe me even if I told you the truth?" I said quietly, my heart jumping out of my chest nervously.
She was quiet for a moment her eyes scanning the landscape out of the window. I was afraid of what she would say. Would she think I was insane if I REALLY did tell her everything? Without a doubt. Why did my heart sink at the thought? I was already in too deep, I shouldn't have said anything in Miss Russell's room, and I should have just let it happen.
"What if I say that I would?" She said finally.
"Then I would tell you. . ."
"Please." She said with pleading eyes.
I looked into her eyes and debated internally. I wanted to tell her, more than I had ever wanted anything. But the idea of someone actually knowing my secret was ludicrous. I had never considered it before. She would probably think I was some kind of freak if she believed me at all that was. . .
I felt my body tense and my awareness of the road was obliterated. I was taken prisoner in that supernatural world where only the future existed. My vision clouded over and my heart beat furiously loud. A car was coming too fast down the road heading towards us. The face behind the wheel was what really caught my attention, the right side was completely covered in long scars that I was sure ran down his neck too. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw us coming at him, as I did that our cars had no choice to hit.
The vision faded away and with tears in my eyes I looked up. I jerked the steering wheel to the right hoping for a miracle. . .
