Dreamland

Chapter 2

"Ähhhm..., Chrisie stop staring at him, Mr. Robert is going to see you otherwise!", whispered Zoé. I turned my look away from him slowly and walked to my seat. The boy next to me wasn't able to bite back his comment. "Hey, what about you and Mr. Robert?" I glanced at him horrefied and he understood immediately. I hate this kind of "jokes". Fortunately I didn't have to say any further things about this comment, because Mr. Robert requested us to stand up to begin the lesson. In the middle of the lesson I thought about him again. Why didn't I know this teacher although the rest of my class mates did? That was making him more unpleasant as he already was. Finally, the school day was over and I almost sprinted out of school. For me these teachers who were always standing in the gears and waited for us to run past them were really indifferent right now. My German teacher Ms. Thunder shouted: "Don't run", as I sprinted past her but I was already outside of school. When I stood at the gate I suddenly got dizzy. I tried not to give Zoè a sign of this but when she ran in my direction she recognised immediately that there was something wrong with me. "Are you okay?", she asked. "Yes, of course...there is really nothing to worry about. I just wanna get home". Zoè frowned. As if she wouldn't believe me completely but she let me go. As I reached home my dad came towards me. When he saw me he looked kind of worried and wanted to know if I was okay. Dad was always in a worry concerning me, because I'm the only one he's got left.  16 years ago, a short time after my birth my mum had disappeared and my grandparents were dead either. I've never known them well, because I had only seen them twice a year but however for my dad a whole world had collapsed as they died. I ensured him that there was really nothing to worry about and went in my room to do my homework. I told my dad I wouldn't need any food today. Then I went in my bed and fell asleep in next to no time.
