Dream Walkers

Beginnings

'Breakfast!!! Get off your butt!'

I heard mum call from downstairs. The morning was windy and dim lit. It was 7:15am. Hmmm.... Guess the sun is as lazy as I am.

'Coming mum!'

I finally managed to reply. I stood up to a typical boy's room. Clothes on my bed, shoes and socks scattered all over the floor, a couple of mix tapes and rap clips here and there ... just the way I left it last night.
I walked downstairs, past the parlor and headed for the kitchen when I retraced my steps to an awkward sight. It was the school principal and mother of my pal Phil, Principal Kelly. Mrs. Kelly was a blonde average heighted stern yet pretty woman. Age is partial, that's for sure.

'Good day ma'am. '

'Hello Danny. How are you?'

'Fine thanks.
My eyes searched the room. '

'Are you sure? You don't look like you always do. He's at not here if that's what you're wondering. I came alone. '

'Uhh... no... I wasn't wondering... just... glancing around.'

'Enjoying the view of your own Parlor are we?'

Where was Phil? Why was she here alone? That's weird. Unless she just wanted to see mum which was still weird cos it was so early. Was she just checking on me? Wouldn't be weird. Last week I fell asleep in the cafeteria and opened my eyes in the hospital. I headed to the kitchen before she could say anymore.

'Morning mum. '

'How you doing Dan? '

'Been better.'

'Good to know.'

'Whys she here so early?'

'Oh... just checking on you. Not much. She could drop you off at school if you wish. You are going in the same direction.'

Its gonna be weird, but id rather go in her car than in the bus.

'Alright. When does she leave?'

'Shortly. She's gotta be there early you know. Principals burden. '

'I'm off then. '

'Aren't you going to eat?'

'I'll have it to go. Bye mum. '
