I searched the library shelves for books on reincarnation. I found some books, and then sat down at the computer. I looked on wikipedia for reincarnation, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant throughout the succesive lives. What if this was true? What if I was Emily reincarnated? That would explain the song, and the weird visions. What was she supposed to do? Why was she remembering this now? What was special about this time in her life? Travis. What if Travis was Charles reincarnated? Gwen could be Abigail. It all made sense. How Gwen and her became crazy close friends super fast and the chemistry she felt with Travis.
When I got home i read the books I had gotten from the library about reincarnation. I soon became convinced that this theory might be right. I went to sleep thinking about this possibility. The possibility that I was once a woman named Emily. I had loved Charles, and I died of pnemonia. A shiver went up my spine at the thought of my death, or Emily's death. I refused to think about her/my death. I dreamed that I was split in two, one of me was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, my hair it's normal waviness. The second me was dressed in old-fashioned clothes, my hair curled and pulled back into a bun. The old-fashioned me was moaning.
"Charles," I repeated over and over. "Why did you leave me? We shall never be together now." The modern me was just staring at the old-fashioned me, wondering what to do.
I woke the next morning just as muddled as the night before. I needed to sort this out, but who would believe me? Even in my head I sounded loopy. At school I felt out of place, and awkward. Everyone was going about their buisness and I was practically having a metal breakdown. Gwen asked me what was wrong first period. I hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to tell her, but then decided against it. I instead told her that I didn't get alot of sleep last night.
It was during history that I got asked that same question, this time from Travis. He turned around once I had sat down.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Ok," I hesitated again, debating whether or not to tell him about what I had learned. This time I decided to tell him. He had had some of the same experiences as me. "I need to talk to you, soon."
"Ok, after school," Travis said nodding.
After school I was at my locker when Travis came up. He leaned against the locker next to mine.
"What's up?" He asked. I looked at him. He had an expectant look on his face. How could I tell him what I was thinking?
"I don't know how to tell you this."
"What?"
"You're going to think I'm crazy," I muttered, more to myself than to him.
"Ally, just tell me," Travis said.
"I think I can explain all the things that have been happening to us."
"Really? What?"
"Reincarnation." Travis just stared at me.
"Reincarnation? Ally are you kidding me?"
"No. It all makes sense. Think about it Travis." He looked as if he was pondering this, and after a moment slowly nodded.
"You might be right, but what are we going to do about it?"
