It Was a Cold Winter Night

A Few Days Later

It was the middle of the afternoon, and I was happy. I get to leave today. Everyone was at school today, and mom was working a half day. It was Friday, I really hoped I'd have stuff to do this weekend. I've gotten to hate sitting and laying down.

Everyone has been in and out, The group, Jane, some family. I talked to Todd whenever he was cleaning, it's nice to talk to someone you know almost nothing about sometimes.

"So in your dream he kissed you after you punched him in the face?"

"Yeah!"

"Ew gross!"

"I know! I want to punch him in the face more now!"

"He's such a fucking-"

"Douche nozzle!"

"Yes! Wait what?"

I've had this conversation with three people already; Jane and Cliff. Each time the reaction is a little different. Todd and Cliff were the ones who agreed with me wanting to fucking deck him. Jane doesn't know a single thing about the person in my dream so she really questioned me.

"Why do you wanna punch him?"

"Because he's an asshole."

"How so?"

"Ugh he just is."

It was something like that with her. I pulled out my phone, and checked Kik. Nothing from the group chat, so I messaged Todd.

Mads 🐸☕️: How's class?

Todd: I wanna punch him in the face

Mads 🐸☕️: I told you he'd ruin honors for you

Todd: I didn't realize how real the pain is, He's doing the pencil thing and Cliff looks ready to explode.

I switched over to my chat with Cliff.

Mads 🐸☕️: dooooo itttttttttt

Then I waited for Todd to say something.

Todd: did you really

Todd: OMG YOU DID

Todd: IM LAUGHING???

   Mads 🐸☕️: you're welcome

   I set my phone down and sighed. I actually missed going to school. I just hope all the stuff about me blows over soon. I just hope the rest of my junior year isn't shitty because of all that's happened.
