Arriving on campus after all this time seems surreal. I can't believe I've been gone for almost a month. My college education has ended before it even began, and for a moment, I grieve at the loss of innocence. I shake my head trying to dissipate the conflicting emotions. This was never my life, just an act. I could classify it as a part in a school play, and then the curtain fell. I was here for a moment, and now that moment is gone. I can't allow myself to be distracted by what could've been. The only real emotional attachment I can allow is Jemma. I'm afraid to face her.

"You know coming here is probably like walking into a trap, right?" Brendan breaks the five hour silence as we get out of the vehicle. It's been raining too hard to take his motorcycle, but the tense ride would've been easier if I didn't have to see him gripping the steering wheel as if his life depended on it.

"Yes, I know." I reply, stretching after being in the car for so long. "But it doesn't change the fact that there is a pull for me to be here and I've been ignoring it for way too long."

"This is the first I'm hearing about it."

"That's because it's the first I'm telling you about it."

I don't wait for response, but head toward my dorm. There are not many people out, since the rain is still coming down. Not as hard as it's been, but hard enough to keep the couples and study groups inside.

With my new and improved vision, I can see an unnatural kind of a film around the place, a ripple in the fabric of reality. Reaching out to Brendan, I stop his progress across the yard, but he's already on alert.

"I see it too. Someone's here."

"We still need to go in, Brendan. I can't explain it, I just know we do."

He doesn't question me again, but follows me through the mist and up the stairs. When we walk into my dorm room the sense of nostalgia is almost overpowering. Memories, so close to the surface, bursting to come free. And yet, they don't. Whatever barrier is keeping them down, it's staying firm. For now.

"Anything?" Brendan asks, watching me as I stand in the middle of the room, trying to figure out why I felt such a pull to come here. I glance up at him as he looks out the window, studying our surroundings in that precise way of his. I shake my head in response, not trusting myself to speak. The magic inside flares up again, and I curl my hands into fists, pushing it away. I thought it was getting better because on the way here, I didn't experience any sudden flashes. But now, standing in my dorm room, I'm having a hard time controlling it.

"Cali!" I twirl around at the sound of my best friend’s voice and the next thing I know I'm swallowed in the circle of her arms.
