"freja?" she whispered into her phone. "yeah, who's this?"
she immediately felt guilty when she heard the sleepyness in freja's voice.
"i'm so sorry i woke you, i just can't sleep. i had the wierdest dream"
she heard her voice shake as she realized it was just a dream.
"what was it about?" she could hear freja tring to make an effort to wake up and pay attention.
she felt gratefull, even though she never payed much attention to what freja had to say.
she made a mental note; that would have to change.
"that boy i met. i don't know why but i'm completely obsessed with him!"
she heard freja yawn. "iz, you don't even know who this guy is. how come he has such an effect on you?"
she looked at the ceiling. "i don't know" she mused.
"look, i'm sorry i woke you. i don't even know why i called. go back to sleep, i'll see you tomorrow."
even though she was fighting to hear the rest, freja gave in pretty easy at the sight of a little more sleep before school.
after she hung up the phone, she got up and went downstairs.
it was still pitch black outside.
she put some water over to boil and sat on the kitchen table looking out into the darkness.
far away in thought, she suddenly caught sight of something white outside.
she shook her head and tried to focus on the white. it looked like the cat from earlier.
a cute little white cat was dancing around on the fence separating their yard and the neighbors.
she pulled her knees up under her chin and smiled a little,
watching the cat looking facinated at the small white fluffs floating down from the sky,
as if it had never seen snow before. the cat suddenly sat down and turned toward her,
it's eyes a beautiful pale blue colour. her heart stopped for a second as she was staring at the cat.
it's not possible she thought, but she was on her feet so fast that she lost her balance for a second,
and scrambled to the window to get a better look. the cat hadn't reacted at all to her sudden movement,
it just looked at her with it's surreal blue eyes. she sucked in a huge breath,
realizing she'd stopped breathing. it's insane she thought as she ran to get her jacket and stuck her barefeet into her boots.
she opened the door, and spun 'round the house to get to the side where the fence and the kitchen window was,
and paused at soon as she rounded the house.
the cat made an elegant jump down the fence and placed itself in front of it, still looking at her.
she carefully closed the distance between them, squatted and reached out to touch it.
it's fur was incredibly soft, and the cat began purring under her touch, never closing it's eyes.
"you're just a cute cat aren't you?" she wispered trying to calm herself
and let go of her wild imagination that had jumped to conclutions
that had nearly given her a heart attack.
"you just have the most beautful eye color" she whispered and looked the cat straight in the eye.
she felt dizzy, like she was going to loose her balance. her head spun, but she couldn't look away.
she felt a sudden tingle in her fingers that made her break the gaze, and the contact.
she removed her hand a bit to quickly and the cat ran off, probably startled by her sudden movement.
she lumped onto the cold asphalt unable to hold her balance any longer.
what is happening to me? she thought for a second,
then pulled herself together and wondered back into the house, not sure what had just happened.
it was just a cat, she kept telling herself. but some part of her refused to believe it.
