Do I Know You?

Potatoes (idk)

I am sitting on a dock with a boy. He smiles at me and takes my hand. He tries to say something but it sounds like water rushing through my head. "What?" I try to ask him, but he can't hear me either. We fall silent and the boy looks anguished; I dont know why. He squeezes my hand and smiles at me again. I can't see his eyes; I know he can't see mine because of my shades. We sit in silence until he sighs. I look over at him with a questioning look. He shrugs and points to his mouth. I understand.

I want to ask him his name but it wouldnt work. The boy glances at me, then at the water, contemplating. Then he stands up and jumps in the water. I gasp and look over the edge until I see the blonde haired boy with pointy shades pop his head out of the water. He grins and gestures for me to follow him. I smile and follow him into the water. In the water, our shades somehow stay on our faces. the boy's blonde hair looks just like it did out of the water. So does mine. He points down into the water and dives under. Watching him from above the water, he looks like a pink fish because his hoodie is pink with basketball shorts. It looks like it would be an unusual outfit, but for him, it works. I follow him under until we are sitting on the floor of the lake. Fish swim past us as if we are just slightly bigger fish. The boy stares at me and smiles, then opens his mouth.

"Hello."

Did he just talk to me?Does that mean I can talk back? Oh. He's looking expectantly at me. Time to find out.

"Hi."

The boy beams, satisfied. He holds out his hand to shake, and says"My name is Dirk. And yours is...?" 
"Galaxie." I shake his hand, and say, "Nice to meet you". He nods, then looks around. I look around too. As we do, the world seems to fade and swirl around us, running together into swirls of grey and brown and blue.
