Strangers

Dreaming About Unicorns

I was walking down a dark alley finding my way home.

"Hey Sapph." I heard a familiar voice.

I turned around to see Maya leaning against the wall, with a cigarette in one hand and her other tucked inside her jeans pocket.

"M-maya? What are you doing here? Mum and I are worried sick! We thought you committed suicide!" I shouted at her.

"I have committed suicide though, you're dreaming sis." She blew out a puff of smoke.

I coughed loudly, making my nose scrunch up.

"No, stop lying Maya! This is real! I am real! Please come back home, I promise you, everything is going to be okay!"

"Sis, you're dreaming! Wake up!" She punched me on my shoulder, causing me to lose my balance and then-

"Ah, Jesus!" I shouted whilst colliding with the floor.

I looked around the room to see if it was a dream. This has got to be the first time in two years that I dreamed about Maya. I guess It was a dream, by the look of my messy room.

I groaned loudly then stood up on my feet. I stretched my legs and arms then opened the laptop. I quickly double checked it to make sure I did send it to her.

I tied my hair into a messy bun, whilst I was logging into my email.

I went on sent and opened the first file, just to make sure it's the correct one, I clicked it open and skim read it.

I sighed in relief. Congratulation Sapphire, you know have the brains to make sure to always save the files in the computer.

I plugged in my iPod and played some of My Chemical Romance. It's a shame that they broke up, I mean I wanted to go to their concert so badly, but I couldn't. I was skint.

I made my way towards the bathroom and brushed my teeth smoothly, then washed my face with my favourite face wash. I wiped my face with the towel then exited the bathroom.

I turned the music off, then made my way downstairs.

"Had a goodnight sleep?"

I turned around to face my mum drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

"GoodMorning to you too! And yes, I did, I was dreaming of unicorns." I replied back sarcastically.

"That's not what I heard."

"What are you even talking about woman?" I asked her whilst pouring coco pops into the bowl.

"I mean I heard you screaming, something to do with Maya."

I opened the fridge and took out the milk and poured it into the bowl.

"It was nothing really, so you have a day off today?" I said whilst making my way to the table.

"No actually, I have to go at 3:15, so what's your plan for today?"

"Nothing, probably revision, watching t.v, raiding the fridge." I replied back with my mouth full.

My mum scruntched her nose up in disgust.

"Please, Sapphire don't talk with your mouth full!" She snapped at me.

I rolled my eyes and switched on the t.v, flicking through some channels I finally found the one o was looking for.

SpongeBob SquarePants.

Yeah, call me a child, I don't care, you're never too old to watch this programme.

"Seriously? Shouldn't you be watching some chick flick like other girls? Or 16 And Pregnant?"

I ignored her, she always wanted me to be like other girls. But not all of us can get what we want right?

I took the bowl to the sink and washed it, then ran up the stairs.

I switched my iPod on and turned up the volume for some Bring Me The Horizon. I ambled to my closet and browsed through my clothes.

Finally, what felt like hours I decided to wear a Superman tank top and black jeans. Just as I was about to strip off, I heard a loud knock.

"Come in!"

The door opened slightly and in poked my mums head.

"I'm just about to leave now, If you're hungry, there's pizza and chicken nuggets In the freezer, just heat it up."

"Okay, have a nice day."

"Thank You, and will you please change that music!"

"Why? What's wrong with it?" I asked her with my arms folded across my chest.

"Do you even understand what they're saying? All I can hear is them screaming their heads off in the microphone! Why can't you listen to Justin Bieber or that boy band?"

I rolled my eyes at her and walked to the door.

"Mum, I'd eat my own shit then fan girl like a 12 year old!" I said to her whilst carefully pushing her outside.

Carefully pushing her? Those two words don't even go together!

"Fine, im going! Make sure not to let anyone in the house, don't do anything dirty!"

"Yeah mum! Okay bye, love you!"

"Love you too!"

And with that she was gone. I sighed In relief, what is wrong with my music taste?

I stripped out of my clothes quickly and wore my new ones. I tied my hair into a lose side plait.

After getting dressed I turned off the music and made my way downstairs. I changed the channel to Kerrang! and got my revision books out.

I sat down on the couch with my legs crossed and the book on my lap. I skim read my notes and jot down some new ones. I switched the t.v off to concentrate.

Just as I was about to read another chapter on Animal Classification, I heard roller skates running across the street.

I shut the book close and opened the front door. I tiptoed outside with my bare foot and saw a tall figure in a dark blue hoodie on a skateboard.

I couldn't see his face, so I took another step outside to take a look. I still couldn't see his face, so i turned around, heading inside.

Suddenly a gush of wind blew past my hair, giving me goosebumps, and shutting the door in my face.

Oh Fuck.
