In the month of March 2003/2004, cant quite remember, i got this call from a girl who had studied with me in school. It was around my bday time and life was a roller coaster ride then. ok yes that was too much but you get the idea, it sucked. though, roller coasters dont,except maybe when you get down and feel ill and ready to puke. Too much digression.
So anyway this girl was in class with me,commerce and she was sort of an odd duck. Well you know how school is, somethings you never live down.So she was this christian and there was talk that she went into a trance and had visions of god. well, jesus.Who apparently spoke to her, through her,whatever.
Anyway i was never the judgemental kind and also the kind who never really denies anything outright.I mean how do i know or not know right? If she claimed visions then yes i had no trouble not beleiveing her.
My one and only stage dance disaster debut was with her and during then i got to know her a bit. Lets call her Anna. she was normal,not given to preaching or god-talk as they said.
She danced well too, i mean with a little too much agression for my liking. Me and my two left feet dint go well with her and she was constantly teaching me. i dint mind.
After school though i lost touch and hadnt heard from her since then. So imagine my surprise when i get this call from her. Landline, no cell phones then.
She says " hey,* insert my name, Its *insert her name"
Me taking a minute to think says " oh yes,hi.uhm,hi!"
she goes with no Hello,how are you, what are you doing now,nothing " listen i had this vision and i saw that you were going to be in trouble and get hurt..so i had to call"
Well.so much for small talk. I obviously had no clue what next to say, so i scoff it off and say ' oh cmon..." stalling her, trying to think.
She says " I just had to tell you, be careful.."
It was all too ominous and maybe i was too frivolous and something about it all was so movie like, so creepy, like we were in a drama and she had taken all the good lines leaving with me just the surprised uhm and aah's. I resented it and wanted to hang up and i said "ok allright, thanks i have to go now..so.."
She went " ok careful but.." and something else that i dint catch.
It dint once occur to me to call back,To know more. I saw nothing coming, absofuckinglutely nothing.
How i wish i had called her back. Later i thought do they explain in detail the trouble,in visions. It made me feel very naked. Like there she was sitting in her house, the odd duck watching me,so raw and pink and cowered.
Anyway a part of me wants to thank her, to thank the effort she made in finding my number and making that call. I doubt if i would in her place.
A bigger part of me wants to call her now and ask more,put myself at risk, ask,probe,know,find..
I wont though,I know it.
But here is why never ridicule the unknown, what you dont know or understand doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
