Daniel's POV

I just joined the class at Microsoft Teams

" Good morning! " I say and everybody replied except Emily. She don't have her camera open

" Where's the teacher? " I ask

" Oh she will be on line soon " a blonde girl says

Emily open her camera and I see how her cheeks turn to red

" Good morning! " she says and all classmates replied her

" Good morning beautiful " a blonde boy with curly hair says to Emily.

He should keep his mouth shut.

" Good morning students " Mrs. Evans joins the class

After a few minutes she gives us the topic that we should discuss today.

"So today we're going to talk about dreams " she says and millions of ideas come on my mind

" Emily can you start? " she says

" I haven't prepared it " Emily says

" Oh no dear, this time we will make a discussion with each other " Mrs. Evans explains

" Well, we all have dreams. Some of us more than others.

For me , dreams are not what we see when we sleep, dreams are those which let us without sleep.

Personally, I'm a dreamer... " Emily says

" Yes but don't you think that dreams sometimes kill? " I replied

" The right dreams don't kill you, they heal you. We should fight for them. Sometimes we will cry and feel useless, but the most important thing is to not give up. Dreams keep people alive , don't they?" She replies and seems like the professor is impressed by her

" Not in all cases. I think that Daniel is right. " Ava, the blonde girl replies

The jealousy on Emily's face is clear but I'm enjoying it...

" Can you explain why Ava? " Professor asks

" all that Ava wanted to say is that usually from dreams we feed hope, but not the hope we're used to face. This hope doesn't heal and keep you alive. This hope kills you . " I reply and I can say that Emily is going to kill me for supporting Ava.

Emily's POV

Why should he support Ava? Did she ask him for help? No. Then why? Because he's an idiot.

" I think that you have misunderstood the true meaning of dreams. Those that you are talking about, aren't dreams. They are lies that we water on our soul and mind " I reply

" Different from Ava, I am at the same opinion as Emily. As she said, those you're talking about aren't dreams, but lies. Lies that we have watered with hope. Dreams are not like this. Dreams give you a reason to wake up in the morning, a reason to breathe. " Will, a handsome boy says.

Level up! Now I'm not the only one who is going to kill someone, because from Daniel's mimic I can say that he is disturbed by Will's comment.

" mhm, I see how understanding you are. I just can't understand why you are like this with Emily. " Daniel's says

I saw the jealousy on his face, but this is too much. He shouldn't have told that.

" Then what if he is? Is this a problem to you? " Ava says and if I were able, I would have slapped her now.

Yes, it is. He likes me, I like him. We don't need a third person between us.

" Students!!! We were talking about dreams. Don't act childish!!!" Mrs.Evans says with a harsh tone

" Anyway! We should accept everyone's opinion, but right now , one of you should tell us the conclusion. " she says again

" Well..." Daniel and I say in unison.

" Can we hear Emily? Is this a problem for you Daniel?" She asks him

" No, of course not!" He says

" To sum up, dreams are like plants . If you water them, beautiful flowers will appear. If you don't, they will die. But not all wishes are dreams. As we said sometimes we aren't dreaming, but lying ourselves. The end of those lies is known. They will never be real, despite how much we wish them to. And dreams... we can never know their ending without fighting everyday for what we want. But don't forget! Dreams don't kill you, they don't hurt you! If they do, you are misunderstanding them with lies, which are dead dreams. Dream big and work hard!! " I say as Daniel and everyone else is looking at me with adoration.

" Good job Emily, I'm proud of you " Mrs.Evans says while looking with her shiny eyes.

" That was all for today! Hope you will have a good weekend! Goodbye! " she says and we wish her a happy weekend too.

Daniel's POV

" As professor said, good job Emily " Will says when Mrs. Evans leaves the class.

" Thank you! We make a good team at giving reasons " Emily says

Good team? He just repeated her words by adding some more.

" Yes, me and Daniel too" Ava says

Not now Ava, I'm trying to calm down Emily.

" Well, the lesson finished , so we can left the meeting " I say, not wanting to talk anymore.

" Yes, we will. By the way, we will add you and Emily to a group on WhatsApp that we have. Is that a problem?" Caroline says

"no we agree"  I say

" We?" Ava interrupts

" Yes, Caroline I accept joining too" Emily says before I answer to Ava

"Okay " she says and everyone leaves the meeting, me including.

...

*What were you thinking about?* I texted Emily

* When? * She says

* good team, huh? *

* As you and Ava, huh? *

Shit, this won't end well.

* I didn't say that, Ava did. But you were the one who said it to Will *

* You didn't refuse Ava's opinion so... and for Will, just because I like you doesn't mean that I won't make friends.*

* I'm not saying that. *

* just because you're not saying it, doesn't mean that you didn't want to say it. *

She is right. I'm just trying to... I don't know... maybe not to lose her

* I'm sorry, I just... *

* I know you're jealous *

* Who me? You should have seen your face when Ava supported me *

* That doesn't make you less jealous *

* Fine. *

* Fine. * she replies and we end the discussion because she has to help her mom.
