It is now Friday. Lyanna goes to school, and Sarah is still laying in bed. Sarah is always free on Fridays, so she is sleeping in. When Lyanna gets to school, she chats with Nova and Daisy for a while and then heads to class. Not much happened in that class; it was a quiet class. When Lyanna goes back downstairs to talk to her colleagues. She sits next to Daisy and Taylor. Taylor is a very good friend of Lyanna's. Taylor is a history teacher. They talk about all kinds of things, making them forget the time a little. 

"Shit we have to get to class. The bell has already gone," Lyanna said. "Oh yeah. I totally forgot the time. See you next break?", Taylor asks. "Is good. See you then," Lyanna said.

Lyanna quickly goes into the classroom and apologizes to the class. Lyanna sets up her things and begins the lesson. The class starts reading a book. In the meantime, she's been texting with Sarah.

"Hey Sarah, did you sleep well?", Lyanna asks. "I slept fine, though. Well actually I didn't. I kept thinking about Ellie and Hailey," Sarah says. "Me too. I could barely get to sleep and when I was asleep those two showed up in my dream," says Lyanna. "Very annoying. I'm thinking about going to their mentor," says Sarah. "That's going a long way don't you think," says Lyanna. "It does. But how things are going now is also way too bad," says Sarah. "You do have a point. But going to the mentor is our last choice. We shouldn't do that right away," Lyanna says. "Otherwise, one of us has to tell the story without naming names," says Sarah. "I don't know Sarah. If anyone should do it it's you by the way. But first let's give it a rest. Maybe eventually they'll stop laughing," says Lyanna. "Okay okay, but I do have a plan to stop the laughter sooner," says Sarah. "Sarah, you're scaring me," says Lyanna. "Don't worry Lyanna. I'm not going to do anything bad. Talk to you later," says Sarah. "Okay bye," says Lyanna. 

Lyanna puts her phone away and looks around her a bit. She looks down the hallway for a moment and sees two familiar faces standing there. She blinks her eyes twice and really sees that they are standing there. 

"Hailey and Ellie," Lyanna says. "Hello Lyanna," says Hailey. "You can say ma'am to me," says Lyanna. "Can we have a word with you Lyanna?", asks Ellie. "Boys and girls, I need to have a word with these girls. Just keep reading quietly. I'll be right back," says Lyanna.
Lyanna walks out into the hallway and sits down with the girls in another room.
"What are you guys doing here? Do you guys want any more trouble?", Lyanna asks. "We want to ask you something. You can lie, but then we'll lie to you too," says Hailey. "Okay what do you guys want to ask?", Lyanna asks. "Okay. How long have you and Sarah known that you are lesbians?", asks Ellie. "Excuse me? Sarah is married to her husband and I have a boyfriend," says Lyanna. "We didn't say lie Lyanna anyway. We will tell Sarah that you chose to lie. Thank you and goodbye," says Ellie. 

Ellie and Hailey left immediately. Without even saying anything. The last she saw of them was them raising two fingers. Index finger and middle finger. She didn't really know why, but she had an idea. Lyanna was very upset. She walked to the classroom and told the class they could choose what to do. Lyanna had to leave school. Lyanna walked out and then she walked up the road. A car hit her and it hit her. She was startled awake. Everything was a dream. But she didn't really know what was or wasn't a dream. She called Sarah and told the whole story. Sarah was shocked. Then Sarah told her it was Wednesday. In her dream, that was almost two weeks ago, she thought. Because she thought everything about Hailey and Ellie laughing was a dream. But she wasn't very sure about that. She hoped she didn't have to relive the story. She drove to school again, but this time not in her dream.
