Now, I was absolutely depressed. It was all just a dream. A crazy, stupid, beautiful yet very confusing dream. He never actually came up to me and talked to me, I was just asleep the whole time. I wonder how much of this night was a dream. Well, since Taylor was standing right directly beside of Savannah, I must have fallen asleep sometime after they had started talking to each other. I was still laying in the grass, and the football field was empty now. I slept through the rest of the game. Eh it was boring anyway.

"You fell asleep, Hannah." Savannah laughed at me but I didn't think it was very funny. If only it were real and not a dream. Then maybe, just maybe Collin would know that I existed. But instead, he didn't. He had no idea who I was at all.

I nod, rubbing at my eyes and slowly standing up on my feet. Now, I just wanted to go home and fall asleep once again. I wanted to sleep my whole entire life away if it meant that we were together in my dreams. All I can remember are his blue eyes, staring back at me as I took in all of his features. Well, at least Savannah and Taylor looked happy together.

"Its time to go, so if you want a ride home then you better hurry up!" Savannah laughed again, grabbing my hand and taking me out to the almost empty parking lot. It wasn't full, but it wasn't empty either. There were still about around twenty or more cars out here, all high school kids just hanging out together.

I was still half asleep but I swear that I saw Collin. I blinked a few times and shook my head before rubbing my eyes only to see that it wasn't actually him. I didn't think that I was ever going to actually talk to him, so I should just forget about this stupid crush that I have going on. I didn't want to have a crush anyway! I wasn't the type of person to have friends and crushes but I let it happen. I needed to shut myself off from everyone after today.

"I don't need a ride home, I'll just walk home." I tell her, since Gram's house wasn't very far from here. It was maybe a mile or two away, so it was within walking distance. I kind of needed the exercise and the alone time to clear my mind.

Savannah somehow understood what I was getting at, so she let me go off on my own. I just needed some time to think about everything. The move, my new friends and this stupid crush. Hopefully, if I shut everyone out, this will all go away and it won't hurt me as bad when I move. Last time I moved, away from Des, I was heartbroken. Me and Des were as close as best friends could get, we were practically a couple and we weren't afraid to show it. That's all behind me now.

As I'm walking home, I wasn't even half way there when it started to rain. This is just great, it was pouring down rain and now, I was completely soaked. A car pulls up beside of me, going very slow, matching the pace that I am currently walking. One of the back windows rolls down and I see Collins cute face. "Need a ride dude?" He asks me with a surfers accent. He seemed pretty chill, mellow and laid back, like a surfer or a stoner.

I shake my head and continue to walk home. I was terrified of speaking to him right now because I was nervous and shivering so my words would come out shaky, and jumbled up. Plus I'd stutter like a dumbass. He sighs, rolling up the window and hopping out of the car. Is he going to force me into the car?

The car pulls off, answering my question. "I'm not going to let you walk wherever you are going all by yourself, its not safe." He shrugs, walking beside of me in the pouring rain, his soft hair getting all wet. "I'm Collin by the way." He says, looking over at me and flashing a perfect white smile, just like in my dream.

"I kno- uh... I'm Hannah." I nod, shivering quite a bit and biting down on my bottom lip. This wasn't just another one of my dreams, was it?
