I feel someone shaking me in my bed.

"Em! Wake up" Matt says

"What happened?" I said with a raspy voice

"You had a nightmare. Do you remember what it was about?"

"No" I lied

I remember every bit about it, I wouldn't really count it as a nightmare I was just afraid of feelings.

The dream started at Matt's house we were watching movies and he confessed he had feelings for me the rest of the dream was life being Matt's girlfriend. It was a great dream I heard Matt come in my room so I acted as if I was having a nightmare.

"Sit down" I said

"Okay" He says as he sits down

"Do you remember in 8th grade when we would talk about our crushes?" I ask

"You want to know who I have a crush on don't you?"

"Yeah haha"

"Well I used to have a crush on Macy in 8th grade remember that?"

"Oh my gosh yes that was hilarious"

"I would be quiet Miss I had the biggest crush on Josh the nerd in 8th grade"

"It was 8th grade!"

"It was 8th grade for me to with Macy"

"So who do you like now?"

"Well I can't tell you"

"Why not" I ask

"Because we're going to be late to school" He says, I can tell he was ignoring the question

I start to get ready for school. Good thing I showered when I came home from Matthew's house last night.

"Matt" I say and look at him smirking

"Please" He asks.

"Out"

"Fine" he says and walks out of my room

When I finally finish getting ready for school we start to walk.

It was awkward

"Still not telling you" He says

"Damn it"

We walk passed Mrs. Vanderfield's yard where Hercules starts barking at us. He gets out of the fence and starts chasing us. We both start running down the street

When we finally get away from Hercules Matt asks me a question.

"My mom was wondering since your mom is working late tonight if you wanted to come over for dinner. She doesn't want you with nothing to eat" Matt says

"Your mom is wonderful; I'd probably end up at your house anyways"

When we get to school we go our separate ways since we don't have any classes together. But at least we had lunch together.

"So plans for the weekend?" Matt asks

"Well I have been told by my mom that I should focus on school since finals are coming up so I'm going to study all weekend" I say

"Finals are in two months lets party this weekend"

"We partied last weekend"

"I bet you Macy's going to have a party this weekend"

"When doesn't she? Matt I'm really serious about studying for finals"

"I'll drive"

"Studying can wait a weekend" I say quickly

"There's the girl I know"

"What classes do you have next?" I ask

"None that are important. Lake?"

"Lake."

We started to walk home.

"Did you text my mom?" Matt asks

"I told my mom to text your mom"

"Last one there is a rotten egg"

"Not racing you for shit we already race for shotgun that's my exercise for the day"

I walk into my house and start to gather the things that I would need for the lake. South Lake was the lake Matt and I would go to when we we're tired of school or just wanting some fun. It was our go to vacation.
