Chaos
“Human beings live lives of chaos all around them—people trying to steal from each other at any cost, but there is also the chaos of the disruption of status quo. That’s a good chaos.” Grandmother Chela.
Chapter 1
If someone would've told Selena Spinoza that she was going to fall deeply in love, she would've told that person he or she was crazy. TOTALLY NUTS!
Selena didn't crush on guys easily. She didn't fawn uncontrollably over just any boy, or sigh profoundly at romantic movies, or even spend her waking moments dreaming about true love.
Not like her BFF Moonflower did.
Instead, Selena concentrated on keeping her feet on the ground. High school was no picnic. Then the mysterious and very good-looking Xavier Jones had arrived one very strange day.
Nothing in her life had been the same since that chaotic but fateful day.
NOTHING.
“Now you know his secret,” the soft woman’s voice pleasantly said in Selena's dream as she had done several times before. She was obviously talking about Xavier—and yes, his secret was out. "You now know, really know him," the woman murmured. The fog around Selena and her was still thick but the woman’s voice sounded closer and much was starting to become visually clearer. Selena could see shapes around them like trees and shrubs, and she was sure they were next to a field of flowers since she could smell the distinct scent of sweet lilacs.
Selena breathed out a deep breath since the creepy yellow eyes from previous dreams were nowhere in sight. Fully aware that they were probably lurking somewhere as the woman had once said they were, she nevertheless was thankful for their absence of visibility. They were out of sight—out of mind. A small smile of relief sat on Selena’s lips as she looked down expecting to find dozens of jagged pieces but instead, the puzzle was in place.
“It’s together,” Selena exclaimed.
“What picture do you see in it?” the woman asked as if she already knew but wanted Selena to answer.
Because of the filmy fog, Selena couldn’t quite tell what the complete picture was. She could see Xavier and herself but nothing else.
“I don’t know,” Selena answered.
“It’s your destiny,” she said simply.
“Who are you?” Selena questioned. Even in her previous dreams, Selena had never seen the woman but had just heard her voice.
“I’m here to direct you to your fate,” she declared as she stepped in from obscurity, leaving the fog behind her. “Hello,” she murmured with a smile.
“Hi,” Selena said, extending her hand to the radiant woman appearing to be in her early thirties in front of her. The woman’s light-brown, shoulder-length hair gleamed and her porcelain face was full of character. “I’m Selena.”
“I know. I’m Clara,” she said, shaking Selena’s hand with welcoming clear green eyes.
Selena abruptly woke up. Her dreams were definitely becoming more vivid, especially after her relationship with Xavier had blossomed.
