YOU woke up at 5 am like for the past months. You rubbed your eyes and trying to wake yourself up because you knew no matter how much you'll try to sleep again, you wouldn't be able to.

You sat up, remembering your dream, like scattered pieces. Why did you keep dreaming of him? Who the hell is he? He almost feels so real. Someone you've already met yet he feels distant, like there was no other way to see him but in your dreams.

You had this weirdest dream where you were sitting on the school bench when you saw that mysterious guy. That boy you keep in dreaming about. The same boy in all the dreams yet you knew nothing about him. This is what drove you crazy.

While sitting on the bench, in the sun, he walked towards you, like unavoidable fate. Like he was meant to walk to you, hold your hand and make you see his face but instead, he looks you in the eyes, still a bit afar and stands still. Lost in his eyes, you couldn't make out his other features.

His eyes seemed cold yet of the warmest color in the bright sun which appeared even lighter in the sun. You suddenly felt this weird sensation in your heart, even in your dreams that made you swallow your own saliva.

The moment you realize you've been staring for too long, you suddenly wake up, startled.

Those dreams were always too real. And gave you more feelings than a real event could. Your hand reached for your heart and you could feel the bearing at its double pace. You took a deep breath and for a moment, let the feeling take over you.

You shook your head as you decided to take a shower to get rid of all the feelings you felt just now. To let it all drain. But this idea never worked, it always made you think of your dream even more. It's not like you remembered what you dreamed of but the feeling you felt.

It was far from being forgotten, if anything, this feeling will remain in your heart and you knew it. You sighed, hard as you walked out of shower and took your time getting ready since you had a lot of time in your hands for school.

Life has been pretty normal for you, just like other kids, same teenage problems every other had, You had yours. You wore your skirt and buttoned up your shirt. You sat down on your bed and started scrolling through your phone when you realized you had a lot of time before school.

You sighed, tired of scrolling and walked out of your home and went to the nearest convenience store where the cashier definitely knew you, after all you were a regular customer. The moment you walked in, they greeted and when the cashier saw your face he immediately said, "aww hun, no chocolate milk today."

"whaaaat?"

"just pick something else today." the cashier passed a close lipped smile.

you sighed, noticeably hard, "i really needed it today." and walked towards the refrigerator to search for something else and that moment your eyes met another particular set of brown eyes.
