It's been just more than 2 months after starting at my new school, and 2 months and almost a week since meeting my friends James, Melissa, Ruby, and Jordan. We have become close; we always hang out at lunch and Friday afternoons at fast food chains. Spending time bickering, mucking around, laughing with and at each other as well as having deep and serious conversations about the floods in late February start of March that impacted most of Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales. We catch up after school most Friday afternoons at Maccas. I look down at my watch, "Quarter past 9. I need to sleep." I closed my eyes softly, falling asleep a while after.
*Dream*
I was in a dark room, with black walls, black floors, black everything. I then see someone,
"Jordan?" I try to yell, but nothing comes out of my mouth. His face changes while I walk anti-clockwise around him standing in the middle of the room. Now James stands in his place. I am confused, in wonder, and panicking. I walk around him in the same direction, once I reach his face again, but it's now Mellissa, I try to stop but I keep moving. All of these faces were scared, bruised, bloody, and unblinking. I go around again seeing Ruby. Everywhere is blackened still, now I look, there is broken glass caving inwards towards me. I shield my face as the vicious blade comes slowly closer, broken glass painfully penetrating my skin. I heard a scream, it was mine. I felt tears, broken glass, and blood on my face. I heard voices around me, but they were indistinguishable as a black void of pain sent me collapsing on the floor.
*End of dream*
I felt myself falling, my head hitting the pillow. I sat up panting, sweating profusely. I was trying to work out if it was good or bad and I woke up. My Mum rushed in as I started crying.
"Shhh shhh, it's ok. It was a dream... It's ok." She Whispered while hugging me tightly, sitting on my bed.
