Don't worry about your late replies when here I'm coming in with a reply so much later than yours!
Anyway, thanks for voting and I'm glad you liked story 2. I've begun writing story 10 (hence the late reply), but since story 2 is so popular, I might do that next.
As for her guilt, it seems like you're not the only one who was confused, so I took your advice and decided to make a buildup to it:
I feel like a lot of people would feel guilt about something out of their own control. For example, she even thought that it would happen (even if it were jokingly, the thought passed her mind), so why didn't she meet her friend to go over to her house like they planned? (He could be her childhood friend. She could've decided to do something else instead, or maybe she ended up being too nervous since her house was small or something, and she had always been embarrassed by it, so even as kids, she played at his house. She'll feel guilt because she left her friend outside waiting right before he "died." Her only friend, because she doesn't feel like she needs any more friends/doesn't make friends very easily. She could run out during the storm trying to meet her friend. Then that would also make the friend that almost got killed guilty, because they were talking about the prediction earlier he knew she died because she was running out into the storm for him. He regrets not calling off the meeting, knowing she was nervous about her house.) Phew, there. That was a tough one.
As for the supernatural aspect, it's not really supernatural. She isn't really psychic, but of course the event is going to stir her enough that she'll shut herself away until she arrives at HWF and try not to make any offhand predictions lest something like that happens again. Or maybe I could have a flashback chapter in which she and her friend were young, and they had made a tiny offhand prediction that came true (though they're both actually coincidences, which she finds out after she gets stronger and tries to use the predictive ability as a power). (For example, she could point to a branch with a nest on it and say, "Wouldn't it be weird if a cat jumped into that tree and knocked the eggs off the tree so that they broke?" An the next day they could find that the eggs were on the ground, all cracked. It would be like confirmation bias; once the hurricane happens, she finds evidence.)
I have to play it that she doesn't originally have many friends because I can't have her realize that her companions aren't her old classmates. Though she won't really look carefully either, having shut herself off from the world afterwards as well.
