Read A Chance for Sunny Skies for Free Online Page B

strong-looking, dark-haired, confident-seeming Anna, had only been at it for less than a year. Hmmm...
    "You should come to class tomorrow," said Lizzy.
    The words hung around me for a moment before I could register them. Yes! This is what the vision was for. It felt right, but I couldn't seem to help myself as I shook my head.
    Rainy punched me in the shoulder. "Why not, Sun?"
    I made the same nostrilly face I made every morning and grabbed at my stomach fat. I rubbed my hands all over my buttery middle section and looked back up at them, my eyebrows rising in a is-that-enough-of-a-reason-for-you way.
    Anna laughed. "Sunny, yoga is for everybody and every body." She jabbed an elbow at Lizzy. "That's what Liz told me when I gave the same excuse as you just did."
    She kept talking, but I couldn't hear a word of it because at that moment a group walked into the shop. Two things about this group stood out to me and made me simultaneously want to jump for joy while curling up in a ball to die. I was at a full-on Tim-scale ten, people. Maybe even eleven if we were talking in Spinal Tap terms.
    There were two people in the group. Both women. The joyous part came from the fact that one of the girls wore green sneakers. Just like the ones in my near-death-pictures. The curling up and dying part came up because the other girl was Jessica Harvey, a girl I went to high school with. They sat down at a table in the corner. Rainy popped up to help them. I kept staring.
    How could Jessica be there? I had moved away from my hometown (granted, I only moved about half an hour south, but who else would think to do that?) Plus, this was my new special place. How could Rainy let one of my tormentors from high school in here? She said she was lucky.
    Then there were the shoes! The shoes! The third vision. Did it seem right to see two visions in one day? The only problem being that these shoes were on her feet and there were two of them. In my mind there had always been just one, in the street. My fingers twitched as if they might grab the shoe right off this chick's foot and throw it into the road just to make my vision come true.
    "Sunny?" Anna looked at me, her eyebrows knit together close, like the cotton of the breezy skirt she wore.
    Shit. They had still been talking to me. Now Rainy was gone and I had no one to rescue me.
    "You look like you swallowed a bug." Lizzy leaned in close and turned to see what I stared at. "Do you know them?"
    I didn't answer the question, because at that moment Rainy finished taking their order, she walked into the kitchen, and Jessica spotted me. She looked right at me, but at the same time looked through me, just like she and Melanie had perfected during high school. It made me feel equal amounts of judgment and dismissal. In that first look I realized Jessica hadn't changed much either. The slight lift in her face as she saw me, the upward curl of her lips, they were the signs of a predator finding something it hadn't come across in a while.
    Easy prey.
    She pounced. She leaned forward to her friend like a big cat curling over a wounded animal's neck. "OMG, I know that girl. She went to my high school." She giggled. "Her hair used to look exactly like a helmet, I'm not kidding."
    Now, the reason I knew exactly what they were saying wasn't because I guessed and it's not even the narrator trick that happens in books where they can see and hear everything that's going on. The reason I knew what she said was because everyone in the room knew. She was talking super loud.
    Jessica held her hateful-judge-y eyes on me while spouting insults about me to her friend. Her eyes flicked over to the woman sitting across from me. She didn't spend even a second mistaking them for my friends. It was obvious to me, heck probably even obvious to the dust bunnies I knew laid waiting under all of the furniture, that we were merely people who just happened to be alive in the same spot at the same time. Then she added, "She still
