The Challenge

We Had The Same Dream

I lay on my bed, scrolling through the messages on his phone, maybe I could find some good information worth blackmailing. I saw a contact request. My picture. My name. That meant he figured it out! I spent a whole hour exchanging insults and remarks with him... 

HIM: *BLOWS KISS* HEY PRETTY GURL...

ME: WTF, WAT DID U DO TO MY PHONE?! DID U HAV 2 TAKE IT?

HIM: HUH?

ME: U STOLE MY PHONE! @ THE FAIR!

HIM: ;( IM INNOCENT! 

ME: SON OF A B*TCH!

HIM: OR DID U SWAP MY PHONE CONSIDERING IM SOOO HOT and that you want attention;) *WINKS*

ME: *ROLLS EYE*SCREW YOU!

HIM: OOHHH SOMEONE'S IN LOOOVVVEEEE.. SWEET DREAMS! DREAM OF ME ;) 

I shut my phone, threw it in my backpack and popped a sugar-coated Haribo gummy in my mouth.They somehow helped calm my nerves. Thoughts swarmed inside my brain. What was wrong with me? I wasn't some normal shallow girl that liked Chris 'cuz he looked hot. Not that I was...Now that  I think about it, had I lost the bet already? I finished every single gummy in the bag before climbing in bed, questions still lingering on my mind.

The next day was horrible. I had a horrible dream that Chris and I were in this world last night. Half of it was filled with unicorns, rainbows, candylands and we actually kissed there. Then the other half of the world was flooding with zombies, giant insects, even creepers! He was constantly kissing my hair, carrying me, and comforting me. Suprisingly, I enjoyed it! I woke up feeling freaked out and drenched by sweat.

When I arrived at school, everyone was staring at me. Just like any typical day. Except that they were only staring at me. Not Chris. It somehow felt different. Libby came across and started blabbering about how many food samples she ate at the food shops in the mall before the shop owner kicked her out. Then she continued to talk until she finally reached the point I wanted to talk to. "Soo... how was that car ride?" "Not good at---" 

A annoying bleeping interrupted me. A text. From Chris. "OMG CHECK IT! CHECK IT! WTF A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS!" Libby yelled at the top of her lungs, gaining everyone's attention. I sighed, and rolled my eyes. The ever predictable Libby. "Libs, chill." 

"You make me sound like MadLibs!" 

I clicked into our pc and read the following messages. 

HIM: SWEET DREAMS BABE? ❤︎ DREAM OF ME? I DREAMED OF YOU...

"Wow Alice you have an admire..." Libby trilled. I groaned. "Lemme reply first."

ME: ... PROVE IT

HIM: KAY SWEETHEART *GIVES PECK ON CHEEK*

ME: [EYEROLL] GET TO THE MAIN PART--  PLEASE.

HIM: OK FINE I DREAMT THAT WE WERE IN THIS WORLD WITH UNICORNS, RAINBOWS, CANDYLANDS AND STUFF PLUS WE KISSED ;) AND THERE WERE ZOMBIES GIANT INSECTS AND CREEPERS ON THE OTHER HALF OF THIS WORLD AND YOU ACTUALLY ENJOYED ME KISSING YOU AND CARRYING YOU AND STUFF. :D HAHA YOU LOST. PROOF? IN MY DREAMS! *WINK*

ME: WTF?! R U KIDDING ME? 

HIM: NO RLY I HAD THAT DREAM.

ME: IM GONNA DIE IF THE WHOLE SKL KNOS THAT WE HAD THE SAME DREAM!

HIM: I TOLD YOU WE WERE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER... *BLOWS KISS* OK I G2G MATCH STARTING IN 1 MIN. SEE YA DAY AFTER TMRW HONEY! 

ME: WTF. WATEVER.

Libby walked me to Humanites (thank god we have it together! even though she can be sooo annoying) and I basically spaced out the whole time, I really felt sick. Me? and Chris? Sharing a dream? WTH! I kept on calming myself down, that this was some frickin' coincidence. It didn't feel like it though. It all felt real. Too real. I ended up thinking about this for the whole day. Face blank, but mind full, with the wheels turning inside.

We chatted again after school on the phone. And yes, I admit that I sorta enjoyed swapping insults with him. It was like a challenge-- meanest insult ever. I would never in my life tell Libby though. She'll spread the word around like wildfire. If that happened, the whole school would think I liked him. And that. Wasn't. Good.I mean she was a good friend and all but sometimes, she can be a big blabbermouth. By the way, I think I like him. Wait. Cross that out. I hate him. H to the A to the T to the E. Right? 

Yeah.

Chris was back. We decided to meet at Baskin Robbins, our  favorite ice-cream shop ( I know right!) , and well... talk?It was just that both of us were a bit crazy-ish after the dream coincidencehappened, and became not-so-enemies. I was munching on a Ms. Fields brownie I got across the street when he walked in, and took a bite out of it. I grimaced. That boy had no manners, or respect. God knows why so many girls fawn over him so much! 

"Hey pretty girl... wassup?"
