Wishing on Dandelions

Chapter 5

I wake up 30 minutes before my usual and trudge to my closet. Olivia is making me wear a dress today, a floral print white with pink, blue, and purple flowers on that is strapless and a white shrug and my white wedges. Did I mention I hate dresses? Well, I mean, I don't hate them but they feel weird, like I'm gonna look down and realize that I'm not wearing pants or something, but I will admit, I like the pretty pattern.

I flatten my hair and put on some eyeliner and mascara, topping it off with this plum colored lipstick Olivia made me get because quote, "it will look so fabulous."

I get to school and walk to first feeling very uncomfortable as everyone stares at me. What a girl who usually wears hoodies can't wear a dress every now and then? Oops, I think I just said that aloud because they all just staring at the floor.

I take my seat just a few moments before Adam walks into the class.

"Hey, thank you for asking Olivia to help me yesterday."

"No prob, you look nice."

"Thanks," why the heck am I blushing? I don't blush!

*******

I leave the parking lot to go home. Operate by three days grace plays as it happens, the eighteen wheeler next to me loses control and hits me in the side, hard. I feel my head slam about my car as my car spins out of control. I black out as I hear a knock on my door.

*******

I wake up with a start. Why am I on the side of the road? Where's my car? Why is blood on my clothes? I start walking to school, maybe someone there will have answers for me.

I walk into the building unnoticed. "Hello!" No one looks my way, they all seem to be talking about something in a hushed tone, "Happened just after school," "Crushed her car and sent it spinning."

Ok, now I'm getting scared, that wasn't a dream? Am I dead? I find my way into first and seat in my usual seat.

Class starts and I notice the absence of Adam as the teacher gets up and starts talking, "Some of you may have heard about what happened yesterday. I think we will all miss Ms. Winters."

I'm dead?! This definitely puts a damper on things!

Adam walks in handing the teacher a tardy pass. He notices me as he starts heading towards his seat and shakes his head, then sits down.

"Adam, what the heck happened yesterday?"

No answer.

"Am I dead?"

No answer.

"How come no one can see me? How can no one can hear me?"

No answer, instead he opens up his spiral and writes something down and turns it towards me, 'Don't know how I can see and hear you but I have something to tell you.'

"What?"
