A flat on the coast of Iceland, it's sleepy town waking up the golden sunrise peaking over the horizon, starting the day. A boy named Karlj in bed, still not awake even though he should have been awake 15 minutes ago. His alarm was late, he was annoyed so quickly ran and got dressed;

"Ugh, what the hell? How did I not notice the blazing sun in my eyes?"

"Whatever, I am gonna be late for school I should quickly get changed."

He went to go get changed, annoyed but what could he do now? He woke up his flatmate, Boega. She may be 41 but she thinks she's 20, she lays in bed as Karlj tries desperately to get her up.. He reminds her;

"Boega, don't act so childish. It isn't my job to be getting you up every day for god's sake."

She gets up, although quite annoyed he was right. She knew she was being dumb not getting up.

"You know I am already late, I can't be late today I have important courses." Karlj unnecessarily stated.

Karlj went to the coffee machine and got a small coffee, he saw the sunrise and just let it absorb him for a bit. The stress of the morning is taxing, every day, but he know that it's the last day before the weekend and his days off. He has plans with his friend, Nathan, to go out to Beyoncé's new concert.
Karlj idiotically manages to spend almost an hour at this dumb window, and is extremely late for his course. He asks Boega if she can drive him;

"What? You want me to drive you, seriously isn't my fault that you are a dummy that can't manage time, is it."

"Well I know that, but I have been late way too much for this class! I am paying for this I want my money's worth."

"Ugh fine, you're so annoying some times, y'know?"

The two rushed to the car, Karlj repeatedly ramming it into her head that he was late.
They went to pick up Nathan, extremely worried and annoyed she (Nathan) was after him being this late to take her to school. They do this every morning, together taking the bus to school. Karlj coming in Boega's car unexpectedly really annoyed Nathan but whatever she thought.

"Why the fuck are you picking me up in this woman's car, are you okay girl?" She said.

"Yes sorry omg, I couldn't help it I woke up at 9:45, my course is at 10:30, I am 30 minutes late."

"Okay I guess. Did you get the water?"

"What water, we need water?"

"Oh my god, an old woman reminded me this morning to remember the water for our SCHOOL PROJECT?" 

"DID YOU FORGET IT SIS?"

"I did omg, wait BOEGA STOP THE CAR-"

"What the fuck is it now?" Boega annoyed, shouted.

"Stop being annoyed okay? You stressed me the fuck out this morning how could I have remembered the water I asked you to get, which you did NOT."

"Okay then Karlj. Let's go to the fucking sea and get water like we should have yesterday." Nathan suggested.

"Right, let's go. Boega, take us to Jóknat Beach please."

"Ugh, okay Nathan? Your hair looks ugly."

"What the fuck Boega?" Nathan said surprised.

The group went to the sea, they tried to go to the water but a group of Sea Workers and Life Guards told them the sea wasn't available today because there was a contamination problem and it wasn't safe. The whole group started to complain, Karlj and Nathan completely devastated at how late they were to school. Boega started convulsing in the car as they drove to school empty-handed. Her hair ruffled, her fingers cracking. She lifted her arms up and the whole fucking sea rose to 100m high. 

"WHAT THE FUCK-" Basically everyone in the area shouted.

"WHAT DID YOU DO BOEGA?" Said Nathan and Karlj.

"What, you needed water didn't you?"

"Boega, we need water. NOT THE WHOLE GODDAM SEA."

Everyone was shouting and running as the sirens and alarms went crazy, news channels all over the world were screaming about it, the force of the water of the coast of Iceland rising and crashing caused earthquakes and sub-tsunamis all over the Baltic and North Sea. Suddenly the car was floating on a huge amount of water. Boega started screaming random gibberish; the students completely in shock. The students knew Boega was a 'Witch' but they just knew that as her kneeling head on floor on a card board box. None of this was expected, it was all so surreal, such a blur. Boega kept shouting, "WOOOOOOO" As she heard the cries and screams of the drowning, whole buildings crashed to the force of Boega's tsunami. 

Boega shouted;
"QUICK, get the water now we got to go!"

The kids started floating, and they got their water bottle and filled it with blood stained water. Everything became silent as the were falling in a red car in a huge amount of water.
The students saw the school, for some reason it was almost fully in-tact. Boega, driving on the last bit of road left said;

"Alright here we are, don't be late again Okay? I am always here for you Karlj, Nathan you can do it yourself."

"Ugh, okay Boega I don't like you either" Nathan said.

"Make sure to learn something alright you two?"

"Okay Boega???" The two students said.

The sky was turning red, it was literally like 12 o'clock but it looked like the day had just started for the school. The students walked to the school, the water was still flowing everywhere but in a strange way so that the school wasn't destroyed. They got to the school, inside they walked teachers greeting them, they wondered why it was like a Secondary School when they went to a college? Then all of a sudden this pixie girl came. 

"Hi! We're Nathan and Karlj, who are you?"

"Oh! I am... I don't know."

"How old are you, why are you here?"

The pixie girl told them she was six, she looked like she could have graduated Secondary School but they went with it. she sat them down and they sat in the schools hall, it was so dark and cold and all they could hear was the screaming of spirits, and all they saw outside the window was a bright cold watery sky. They patted their hands together, Nathan, Karlj and Pixie girl. The pixie girl started spitting out her teeth and laughing. Then they rolled dice, whoever got the highest number was pinched until they bled by pixie girl. All of a sudden Karlj woke up.
He thought it was a dream only, a strange one at that. He woke up at the Normal time because of Boega, she just smiled and said;

"So, will you wake up on time from now on?".

Karlj went to school normally, he waited for Nathan; she never came.
It got to lunch, Nathan never came for him, even though they were going to work on the project together today.

Karlj went home and sent an angry message to Nathan;

[Text]

"Where were you girl, I was on my own?"

Karlj got a response 1 hour later, it just read: "Where were you, I haven't seen you for days?"

"This pixie girl is getting on my nerves." - Last message sent.

End.


Based off of a dream I had, this is as close as I could get to the dream as possible but some stuff probably changed. Some stuff is made up for the story, some characters are real people. If you don't understand what the ending is supposed to be I can tell you if you didn't get it.
