I woke up and organized my thoughts in my mind. The memories from the crash came rushing through my head.

Once I opened my eyes, yawning, I realized I was in my bed... MY BED... HOPE'S BED! I'm freaking Hope!

I looked around and saw Luna laying on the couch and Nash on the floor.

LUNA... NASH.... I REMEMBER THEM!

I can't believe it!

IT WAS ALL JUST A DREAM!

"It was a freaking crazy dream!" I shouted letting my thoughts escape through my mouth.

"Ugh... what's going on?" Luna said waking up on the couch and running a hand through her hair, that looked fantastic, as always.

"Oh, jeez..." Nash woke up on the floor, scratching his eyes, "Why am I laying on the floor?" he got up and sat on the couch along with Luna.

I got up and jumped above them.

"I love you guys so much..." I gave them a bear hug.

"O-okay Hope...I think we got it... just let us breathe for a second...please?" Luna said.

"Sorry, I'm just really happy we're all here" I told them and let them go from my suffocating hug.

"Why all that sudden love?" Nash asked laughing.

"I just felt like it" I giggled "I had this super weird dream... but it's over now. OH MY GOD!!! Can we pleaaase go to 'Ice and taste'?".

"Sure, whatever you want" Nash said going to get his car keys.

I told them what my dream was as we drove to the Ice cream shop.

When we got there, I ordered my favorite flavors, mint & chocolate chip and coffee. Once I tasted it and the flavors harmonized in my mouth I knew everything was right were it was supposed to be.

I woke up with someone shaking me and handing me a cup of coffee.

"Hey sweetie, wake up" I could recognize that it was my mom's voice "Bob and I are going on a business trip, so I want you to stay at Kathryn's until we come back, okay?".

Bob is my stepfather, actually he's more like a father to me since my biological dad vanished when I was one year old and hasn't appeared ever since. Mom and I have been living with Bob since I was three and he treated me like a daughter, in return I treated him like a father.

"Wait, Kathryn's?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I trust her to keep an eye on you while we're out. Now, get ready for school, later you can come here and pack your things" She answered and left my room.

Kathryn was my mom's best friend and, surprisingly, our neighbor. They met in high school and kept their friendship until now. Kathryn had two kids, one of them was a beautiful little three year old girl, Alice, and the other was a boy who was my age, Henry. He studied in my school but we were never actually big friends like Nash and I but still, he was really sweet, kind and cute in a way that I couldn't even describe... We used to be friends but since he started walking with the most arrogant persons you'll ever meet/popular crew we never actually had a decent conversation, which is a pretty awful thing, given the fact that him, Nash and I were really good friends on the past.

I admit that I had a huge crush on him since I met him, and tried to forget about him by thinking of other guys, I even tried and ignored him every time I saw him but somehow he was always present in my subconscious...

"Hope, get dressed up or you'll be late for class" My mom yelled from the kitchen.

I got ready quickly and went to school.
