The Dream Walker and Catcher

Chapter 9 - Keeping distance

When I said that I accepted the agreement, I just could slap myself in the face for like gazillion times.

As I arrived at home, I immediately went to my room and jump on my bed and then screamed so hard and long in my pillow that I almost chocked myself.

How could I have accepted this? How did I get into this situation...

As I wondered in each and every way possible how stupid and I dumb I was, I received a text from Anna

Heey Clare!

Hope you weren't lonely while walking alone to home. It won't happen again I promise. Anyway what I wanted to ask is: can I come to your house on Friday. It could be like a girls night with the two of us. And it has to happen since I need to transform you into an irresistible outstanding young lady so that Evan won't regret going after you all this time >:) Let me know tomorrow what you think about it.

 

Ps: I won't take a no for an answer if you already were planning to decline it

Ever since I met her, I've had a hard time saying no to her. Since she pushes you into doing all kinds of stuff.

Why couldn't I have I day of rest without people practically pushing me into doing stuff that I don't want to do?

As soon as I looked at the clock, I jumped out of bed to shower and then do some homework before going to bed.

As I looked for something to wear, I realize that all my shirts were washed and still wet. What am I supposed to wear then?

As I looked around for something, I noticed the shirt Evan gave me.

No just no... I can't do that. But I didn't have anything else to wear....

With a sigh I got the shirt and took some matching shorts with it. Now that I realize it, the shirt has the smell of Evan on it. It smelled like some sort of cologne. It actually smelled really good.

Wait

What am I thinking? Buckle up Clarice!

As soon as I was done with homework, I brushed my teeth and went straight to bed.

***

As I woke up in the morning I realized that nothing happened. Evan didn't show up or something and I don't remember dreaming about anything.

Weird. Didn't he sleep or something?

'I can't be around you all the time, unless you want me to' said a sleepy voice

You know well enough that's not what I meant. What about the training thing? I thought we were supposed to do that in my dreams as well?

'Well you're right about that. But the farther away I am from you, the weaker our connection is between dreams so the only way we can talk is through our minds'
