What Happens in My Dreams

Chapter Two: Good Morning?

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP

I was awoken from my sleep by what I call the devil's machine but others refer to it as an alarm. I groaned as I lost the battle against gravity and tumbled from my bed to the ground bumping my head on my violin case on the way down. As the world came into focus I noticed my older brother watching me with a small smirk on his face and a twinkle of mischief in his eye. "Good morning Mürrische Hosen" he said as he chuckled at my pain "Shut up buttface" I retorted. NOT amused this early in the morning. He cackled and his laugh made me smile though I would never admit it. As I glared at him and went to stand up he ran away yelling for my older sister to come save him.

As I brushed my teeth I puzzled about my dream wondering why that dream was back. I hadn't had them since I was eleven. I went through yesterday thinking of something that could have set them off again but nothing came to mind. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that I had put my shirt on backwards until I had made my way down the hall to our kitchen. Our apartment was of a middle size with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bath. It also had a kitchen and a living room. My room was smaller than my sisters but she owned the house so it's only natural for hers to be bigger. My brother was visiting from out of town for the day with his family and it is wonderful to see Soo-young running about with her small shih tzu Mulan. I also found that having Soo-jin around is so helpful. She is a darling even though she is older than me I feel like I must protect her with my life. Anyway today is My twenty second birthday! The only reason I remembered is because my sister popped a party confetti tube in my face as I entered the kitchen. All of my family was in the same home singing my happy birthday and I loved it even though they were a little off key. Growing up birthdays were always a big deal as was Christmas and well all of the holidays. Mom always planned her and the birthday girl/boy day that was just them until dinner, which was when all the family would get together at Cheddar Chucks and eat expensive sort of disgusting pizza and go home and open presents before bed.

After cleaning up the confetti we had some cake and then my siblings and their spouse/fiance went to work and I took Soo-young to the local day-care and then I went to school.My first class of the day was Medical Ethics afterward I had a few hours to kill  so I went to the school cafeteria to get a snack but then He walked in. Who is He you might ask well he is none other than Mr. Sim, I never got his full name but honestly he is the WORST talk about privilege he reeks of it. He also never does the homework instead he uses his charm to get a later due date. Though everyone knows and he knows as well that he is very handsome and he squeezes the life out of that blessing.

Anyway he suddenly started walking towards me and honestly I'm not a big fan of stranger interactions. But luckily someone came to my aid "Hey girl whats up?" He turned his eyes to where the noise was coming from and it was one of my best friends Seth. Yes I know that he's a boy but he likes someone else in our friend group so that's not a problem in my ballhouse. "Hey Seth!" I called back "Where have you been? You didn't answer any of my texts" "Oh crap I'm so sorry I had no idea my phone was on silent" "WHY WAS YOUR PHONE ON SILENT?!?" "MAYBE BECAUSE I WAS IN CLASS?" "Ohhh yeah right I forgot, well anyway there is some serious tea in the group chat and Izzie is going CRAZY over it" During our conversation Mr. Sim looked so confused it was comical. He looked at me and then I gave him a look that said "What?" rolling his eyes he said "We've been put together for a group project by the teacher" "You've got to be kidding me" I responded. He did what for the rest of the year I shall call his signature move, aka he rolled his eyes. We were both obviously annoyed and so Seth stepped in "So where are you guys going to work on it?" Mr. Sim spoke up and said we should meet up at his house. I was tentative to say yes but eventually I said okay and then he turned on his heel and left. "Rude much" I muttered bitterly then Seth and I both heard the signature sound of the sunshine in our friend group which was Izzie's heels on the floor. The moment she saw me her face went from excited to Izzixcited which was a whole level higher than normal. She was almost like Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony but on steroids. She engulfed me with a bone crushing hug and started squealing and talking but it was the talk that no one can understand or decipher. "Whoa slow down Izzie" I tried to calm her down but this is Izzie Choi we're talking about so that is really next to impossible but then Seth said the same thing and immediately she quieted down. I'm guessing that now you know who in the group is dating. However, then the last member of the Bestie quartet came into the cafeteria, our one and only fashion student Yoo-Mi. We all welcomed her with a group hug and we went to our favorite booth, put our stuff down and then went to get some food. I got a cold brew coffee with vanilla cold foam and for my actual snack I got a chocolate filled croissant. Seth got matcha tea and a slice of strawberry cheesecake to share with Izzie and speaking of Izzie she got an espresso. Finally to round us out Yoo-Mi got lemonade and a burger. And now to address the tea that was put inside the group chat. Apparently someone in the school had gotten arrested for shoplifting while at school and Izzie had been there!

The person who got arrested was Ha-Joon,

Mr.Sim's

brother.
