It's Only Gossip

A hand gently approaches towards me and then firmly holds my hand. As I shoot up, I see the boy I know and love (note the sarcasm) wear his transparent shiny armour. It was Daniel.

"Levi, are you okay?" A soft voice releases from him.

"Obviously, it's not like I passed out right in front of your door." I keep shaking my head in utter despair.

He raises his eyebrows at me soon after looking at the ground. I start to giggle and then form a straight face.

"I want pizza." I state emotionless.

He walks past me and then turns around with a smirk painted onto his face. "Well?" He challenges. "You coming? If you're not, can you put my jacket on the hook?" He throws his jacket at me and I just about catch it.

He's funny if he thinks that I'll obey an order from him. Throwing the jacket back at him and swiftly walking past him, I turn this game upside down by making an order.

"You're paying." A slight smirk appears on my face.

Free pizza, what's not to love?

I just hear a chuckle from behind as it gets louder due to the doppler effect. He's catching up to where I am.

Suddenly, I hear voices calling my name. The corridor shatters as my surroundings turn bright white. Once it fully shatters, the colour black appears once again. I should've known. This was a dream.

...

"Levi! What are you doing?" A voice practically screams in my ears.

Without opening my eyes, I scream back. "Um I don't know, maybe waking up!"

Er. It's him. Daniel. No wonder I was dreaming about him, I would never dream about him voluntarily unless he was getting eaten by a monster. Well, he was buying me free pizza in the dream and I like that. No matter who buys it, I'm always up to free pizza.

"Thanks for stating the obvious!" He complains, eyes on me.

I fully open my eyes, "Well thanks for asking the obvious!" I shout back finally being aware that my breath stinks.

Well shame on him, I hope my stinky breath is the reason why he suffocates. But of course, he doesn't. That's unfortunate.

"Gosh, she can't handle one drink." I hear him mutter quietly to himself as if I can't hear.

Still laying on the floor, I finally stand up to face him. "Well excuse me for being sensitive to a drink that destroys people's livers."

He looks away as he continues to mutter some profanities.

I carry on facing him with my green pebbles. "I liked you better in my dream." I mutter before I walk away.

A slight second before I turned away I saw him turn to my direction as his pupils dilated. Did he hear? I don't really have the energy to care. My head hurts. I can feel mini swords stabbing my brain as I attempt to walk to my dorm. My focus gets a little blurry but I manage to make it.

Moments later I collapse into my beloved bed.
