School

Three:

School, the first place we have met.

We were in high school when I first met him. Though because it is a dream, the whole place was mix with a grade school so I really don't know exactly which grade it is. Yet, school is the first place I met him.

Junior and Senior High School

In silence, I intently look at the front gate of our school.

Akachi National High School is the name of our school and it is pronounced as 'aa-kaa-chee' and the name means 'the hand of God'.

For some reason, the meaning of our school sounds weird since it isn't a catholic school, and yet the name derives so holy.

Well, it was the president's choice to name it like that. And I'm not against it, instead this is where it all begins. The guy from my dreams begins to pop out in my head whenever I'm here.

Weird, because I only met him first time in my dreams and that was only last night.

"Weird."

"What is weird?" Suddenly I was surprised when Chadd spoke up to me.

"¡me sorprendiste!" I suddenly speak up in Spanish and I learned it from my grandma, my mom's mother. Though I rarely speak of it, but whenever I got surprised or scared I usually speak Spanish.

"What was that mean?"

"I said, you surprised me!" I translated then sigh before I asked. "Have you been there before?"

"Yes. And it seems you really didn't notice me."

"Do you think I'll ask more if I noticed you already?" I irritably replied.

"Hey! Chill out!" he said. "I'm just joking."

"Then, I'm not in the mood." I answered before I step forward that he follows.

"Another nightmare?" he said while we walk.

"Uhm, I don't think it is a nightmare."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, for me. It is more of a... dream."

"A dream? How can you say that when you were in a mood like that..."

"What mood?" I asked and then laugh. "You know that I am still the same." He didn't answer instead he just shrugs off. "Well, whatever! I still believe that nightmares aren't for me."
