Dreaming of You

The Plan

As the bus pulls up to the school, I'm snapped from my thoughts as a boy in a gray hoodie falls into my seat and almost lands on me. "Hi?" I say as more of a question than a statement. He doesn't respond. Instead, He stands and goes back to his seat, which I didn't realize was across from mine. I didn't see his face, but his presence seemed familiar to me. 

I look out the window and notice that, of course, our bus is the last to arrive. We all load out of the bus and head to our different friend groups. I walk up to the front entrance of the school where I usually meet Elena, my best friend. She has short fiery red hair, big green eyes, pale skin, and a maze of freckles. We did almost everything together. We saw each other and ran to meet the other. When we meet we hug and do our handshake that me made up. "Hiya el" I say. "Hola ni~na" she says. "We're not in Spanish yet and I'm to tired to even try to translate right now." I reply. 

"Why so tired?"

"Its a long story" 

"I love long stories"

I tell her about my dreams and how confused I am about all of this. We decide to meet up at my house after school for a sleep over so we could execute the plan we came up with. 

The plan is for her to sleep over and when I wake up, I have to write my dream in full length with every detail so we can keep track o it all. 

The bell rings and all of the students rush into the halls and to their lockers. El and I get to our lockers, which happen to be right next to each other, and get our books for the morning classes. My first period is Math, ugh, and El has Art. She's so lucky. I walk into the classroom and immediately get bored, so I play on my phone. 

                                                           ※※※※※※※※※※※※※

El and I get to my house and start strategizing. We set up the snacks and movies to make us sleepy. We decided to watch This is Us, the 1D movie. I'm not really a fan, but Elena is. After an hour of watching 5 boys acting like idiots I feel myself start drifting off into dream world. 

As I open my eyes, I see exactly what I thought I would see. The landscape from my previous dreams. Unlike the last times, I didn't see Nico. I decide to venture into the woods this time, and to see if I find an cool animals. 

I enter the forest and am immediately filled with fear. I have no reason to be afraid, yet I am. Despite my better judgment, I head deeper into the forest. To my surprise I see no sign of wildlife anywhere, not even the buzzing of a fly. 

I go to take another step but abruptly stop as I hear a twig snap a short distance to my left. I snap my head in the direction of the sound to see nothing there but trees. 'Odd' I thought. 'I could have sworn I heard something'. Once again, against my better judgment, I find myself wandering off in the direction of the sound. 

As I draw nearer to where I thought the sound came from, a hand grabs my shoulder and swings me around so that I am facing them. I am quite startled and jump back slightly. I look up to see who grabbed me and to my surprise its...

"Hannah!" 

I jump into consciousness as Elena wakes me. 

"You were shaking terribly and weren't waking up! I thought something had happened to you!" She cries. 

"I'm fine, I'm fine" I say hugging her. I wish I could have seen who it was who grabbed me in m dream. Yet another thing to add to the plan.
