To the Tune of Meant to Be

KARMA

Thomas gently took Lily's hand and led her outside into a nice breeze. He walked her over to a tall oak, and they sat down under it. Thomas put an arm around Lilt's shoulder, and she scooted closer to him.

When Lily looked up at him, he had uncertainty written all over his face. Concern flashed in her eyes as she asked him, "Thomas what's wrong?"

Thomas didn't say anything for a while, but then he took in a big, shaky breath and looked down at Lily.

"Lily, well, I, um, I don't think we should, um, see each other anymore," he said, spitting out the end.

Anger flashed in Lily's emerald eyes, and she looked away. She then pushed herself up and took a couple steps away, then turned around, wearing a vengeful smile and she parted her lips to say something.

"Out of nowhere you just want to be free. Cut me loose, forget all about me. Well baby tell me have you ever heard about this little five letter word?"

Thomas let out a couple protecting squeaks, but Lily's voice dominated over his nonsense.

"What comes around goes around. I'm telling you baby, it's called karma. What goes up comes down, hits the ground. You're gonna find out all about, all about, k, k, k, k, k, karma," she said threateningly.

Thomas stood up and walked over to her, trying to find some reason.

"But it wouldn't work out anyway, but if you still want," he sputtered. Lily gave him a cold stare, then softened.

"Go on, go on, go have your day in the sun. Have a blast honey, have you some fun. But don't forget about that golden rule: What you do to others is gonna get done to you," she said, sneering.

At this point, Thomas has no clue what to day, and stood silently with his arms hanging at his side.

"What comes around go around. I'm telling you baby, it's called karma."
Lily took one step closer to him, leaving around six inches between them.

"What goes up comes down, hits the ground," and she pushed him roughly to the ground. "You're gonna find out all about, all about k, k, k, k, k, karma."

Lily leaned over Thomas and whispered.

"Life is like a kaleidoscope, changing colors everyday. But there is one thing that I know. You can't mess around with your fate."

Lily straightened up and walked away, towards the front doors of the castle. Thomas stood up and brushed himself off, then chased after Lily. When he reached her, he leaned over her shoulder and concernedly whispered, "Lily."

She whipped around and yelled in his face.

"What comes around goes around. I'm telling you baby, it's called karma. What goes up comes down, hits the ground. You're gonna find out all about, all about, k, k, k, k, k, karma."

And then she turned and made a break for the castle and the comfort of her dorm yelling, "I really don't care!" which confused Thomas.

She really didn't care though. That night she set her eyes on another seventh year, and never shed a tear.
