Then again, she didn’t choose to die in a car crash, or to relive her final day over and over.Įvery time it starts the same. Instead she sees Vicky Hamlin’s expression, right after everybody told her she was fat. The really important stuff: all the parties, and all the times she got drunk. Still, if she’d known she was going to die today, she would have expected to see her triumphs. Sam doesn’t believe in that whole ‘life flashing before your eyes’ thing. Even when I feel like I could scream.Įven weirder are the little blips and wrinkles, the things that have shifted around. Aaron Stern spills his coffee all over the hallway again, and Carol Lin starts screaming at him again.Įven her words are the same, ‘Were you dropped on your head one too many times or something?’ I have to admit it is pretty funny, even the second time around.

The thing about déjà vu is it has always passed really quickly – thiry seconds, a minute at most.Įverything is the same: Eileen Cho squealing over her roses in first period and Samara Phillips leaning over and crooning, ‘he must really love you.’ I pass the same people in the halls at the same time. That’s the way I feel, at least: like there’s a real me and a reflection of me, and I have no way of telling which is which.

Science is probably my worst subject, so I didn’t understand the whole article, but that would explain the weird double feeling it leaves you with, like the whole world is splitting in half – or you are. I read once that you get déjà vu when the two halves of your brain process things are different speed: the right hand half a few second before the left, or vice versa.
