The ground is red, brown, yellow and orange from the leaves tumbling off of the trees. Zoe is lying in the middle very still, I see my mum but she is not normal, she is a ghost watching over us. At first I thought she was an angel with a beautiful white dress but then she turns into something, a thing I have never seen before. Her face has blood dripping out of her nose and eyes, her dress is not white anymore it is black with blood stains. Mum floats over closer to me to say something, my heart is pumping and I try to scream but no sound comes out. She opens her mouth and….
I wake up sweating again this time with my alarm going off. I press the snooze button and lay back down. My dreams have been really corrupt but I have to get on with my life, so I get up and start to get ready for school.
Mum drops me off to school first, before she goes to work. I get out and see Xavier, my boyfriend. I say goodbye to mum and walk over to him, trying to look like my normal happy self. His hair is brown and straight (as it always is) his side fringe pushed out of his sky blue eyes. The type of eyes that make girls melt when looking into them, we have been dating for 3 months and I still seem to die at the sight or even the thought of his sparkling eyes.
“Hey beautiful” Xavier’s voice is music to my ears, I hug him with all might and he hugs me back ever harder.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing I just…. missed you because I wasn’t at school yesterday” I lie as I don’t want to bother him with my silly dreams as they are only dreams.
In English I see my best friend Abbie. My mind goes into a flash back of all the memories I have had with her. I have known Abbie since kindergarten and we have been friends ever since. I don’t see her as much as I used to but she is still the one I go to with all my happy memories and sad moments.
“Hey Abbie” Abbie looks up and flicks her wavy hair back so it falls over her shoulders.
“Hey Blair, had any weird dreams lately? I had one last night where me and you were on the beach but then we were in a grave yard looking around and a zombie came and ate our heads off, I just went right ahead and added them to Dreamallday.” Yes, I tell Abbie about my dreams because since we were little, we have always found them funny and cool at the same time, we also have this book it’s called ‘Dreamallday’. We have all our dreams in their but right now I am not sure whether to add the last two I had a they are the worst I have ever dreamt.
“Yes I had a couple, but they were not good enough to go in Dreamallday.” I lie; she shouldn’t have to worry, should she?
The rest of the day goes pretty fast, as the last bell goes I walk outside and stand with Xavier, Abbie, and her boyfriend Rick. Xavier holds me with his arms around my waist; just being with him makes everyone else seem irrelevant right now I wish I could stay in his arms forever. But I see my mum turn up and I say goodbye to Abbie and Rick, and turn towards Xavier. I look into those eyes again and we lean forward, he kisses me with all his might and I kiss him back. It feels perfect but I break the kiss, say my last goodbye for today and walk to the car. Walking over to the car I can see Zoe in the back playing with her favourite doll, the one I gave to her for her 1st birthday.
“Hey mum, hey Zoe.”
“Hey sissy” Zoe says in a cute quiet voice
“Hello sweetheart how was school?” Mum always asks me this and all the time I reply with in the same way.
“Good”
The rest of the car trip was in silence I kind of like the silence so it was not that bad for me. The car pulls up in our drive way and I jump out to go straight inside. I go into my room and lay on my bed feeling very sleepy but I’m not going to go to sleep ever again so I get my phone out and call Xavier.
“Hey babe it’s me”
“Hey, you do realise I have caller ID?” He always asks me rhetorical questions like this, just another thing to add to my list of everything amazing about him.
“Yes I do.”
We go on and talk for what feels like two minutes but it is about two hours or maybe longer, I look at the time and its 1am so I say goodnight to Xavier, get ready for bed and finally go to sleep.
