Him And Her

chapter 1

I kicked the guy in the face as he tried to grab me by my waist. He went down on his knees as he clutched his face. I took the chance and started running away from him. After a few paces I looked back to make sure that the guy wasn't following me. He was laying there all right. But I wasn't looking where I was going and crashed into a pole. Ouch that hurt. Now it was my turn to go down on my knees as I clutched my face. Wow karma is real!

I woke up with my hands clutching my face. I couldn't believe that it was a dream. It seemed so real. And what was more strange was the dream had started from the exact same point from where I had woken up yesterday morning. Well , maybe it was coincidence.

I sat up on my bed. I picked up my phone. There were a bunch of messages from my friends. The main reason I picked up my phone was to check the time. It was 7 in the morning. My school is at 8. I usually wake up at 7:30 but today was an exception. I couldn't go back to sleep.
I got up and went to take a shower. I took a loong shower. I liked the soothing feeling of water on my skin.
After the shower I got dressed and went for breakfast.
*************

I saw the trees and houses pass by in a blur as my mom drove me to school. She drives way fast for a 40 year old. But still her driving has saved me a couple of times from being late to school.
My mom and me, we never usually talk to each other unless it is really necessary and so it was REALLY silent inside the car. But I liked this silence. This silence helped me to think. I think about many things. And by many things I mean MANY things. For example if I see a random lady passing by on the road
I start thinking about the dress she is wearing. If I like it I congratulate the lady in my mind. If I don't like it I try to mentally change her into a dress in which she would look good. Call me weird but I can't help it. And this was only one of the things I would think about.

Suppose if right after seeing the lady , I see a bookstore or any other shops I would quit thinking about the lady and start thinking about the shop. And if suddenly after the shop , I see a cute puppy or something I start thinking about it. In short I have a very short attention span. I had discussed about it with my best friend amanda. She said it was normal for a human being to shift focus from one thing to another in a really short span of time. I didn't want believe her. I liked to think that I am different from other people. My this "abnormality" would make me different from or maybe above all humans. I liked to think that I am special. Like this "abnormality" is a super power of mine.
