"kaia?" chloe repeats.

"hm? what?" kaia sits up.

"i asked what are you dreaming about? you were sleep talking and kept asking me what time it is." chloe states.

"oh, um.. nothing, i can't remember." she scratches her head.

"well, it's only 5:30. it is a bit early but i guess we can get up now." chloe responds.

"wow, that light is so bright." kaia mumbles as she stands up out of bed.

"yeah, i turned the light on because you wouldn't stop mumbling and i was trying to wake you up." chloe says as she walks into kaia's bathroom.

chloe turns on the shower and sings along to her music as kaia is still waking up in the other room.

"that was a weird fucking dream." she grumbles and walks around the room grabbing all her things to get ready.

she eventually hears chloe finish up in the shower and walks into the bathroom once she knows chloe is covered.

"can you pass me your vape?" chloe asks while she brushes her wet hair with a towel covering her body.

she hands it to chloe and stares at herself in the mirror.

"you okay?" chloe asks as kaia steps into the shower and throws her clothes out the curtain.

kaia turns on the water and lets it run down her face for a few seconds.

"yeah. i mean, i don't know. i had a really weird dream last night and i can't stop thinking about it." kaia responds.

"what was it about?" chloe asks, putting her clothes on.

"matt." she says, still very tired and struggling to stay awake this early.

"what happened? was it about the fight?" chloe begins drying her hair.

"it felt so real. it started with us doing like, exactly this right now. we got ready for school then got breakfast, then i saw him in the hallway and he came up to me and kissed me out of nowhere." kaia sighs.

"was it a happy dream? or more like you were scared and didn't want it to happen?" she asks.

"i'm not really sure. i honestly just don't even know why i'm dreaming about him like that, i don't even like matt like that. i mean, we're not even friends anymore. plus my date with james is today." kaia turns off the water and grabs her towel.

"well, you know what cinderella says." chloe laughs.

"what the hell are you talking about? it's too early, chloe." kaia steps out of the shower, covering herself with the towel.

"y'know. a dream is a wish your heart makes. i know that shit is corny, but if you're dreaming about kissing him, maybe you just want to do it in real life." chloe steps out of the bathroom for kaia to get dressed.

"no way. i really do like james, this isn't just me avoiding my problems. i really actually like james for real." she says to chloe through the door.
