(Original)
Year after year Otillia had the same recurring dream the night before the first day of school. She was always a little girl though, never her real age. It's been 7 years since the first time she had the dream and now, it was the night before her first day of 7th grade and she was anxious as always.
(POV Ottilia)
I flopped onto my bed then sat up and went over to my window that over looks the whole forest and meadow. I took a deep breath and snuggled into my bed and closed my eyes.
I woke the next morning and sighed, same dream. I quickly got dressed and went downstairs where my mom was making eggs and my dad was reading the paper as he sipped his coffee.
"Morning Pumpkin!" He said looking up from his paper. "Ready for you first day of school?" He asked folding the newspaper and putting it aside.
"Yup, I'm always ready." I replied glumly as I took a seat across gem him.
My mother puts a plate with eggs, bacon and fruit in front of me along with a glass of milk. I finish my breakfast and go to where the bus picks me up.
It's a new bus but I find the same seat, 4 rows down on the left, window seat.
I take a seat and put my headphones on and wait till we get to Melanie's stop. When the bus comes to a sudden stop for the fourth time I sit up and put away my headphones. I see 3 other blonde haired girls before Melanie appears and walks over to me and smiles. I smile back at her and move my backpack off the seat to allow her to sit next to me.
"Hey!" She said smiling as she took the seat next to me "Did you have the dream again?" She asks once she gets all settled in her seat. Melanie is the only person I ever told about the dream.
"Ya, I have a theory, it's more of just a thought but still, my father is never in the dream and he loves me to pieces, and I've started to realize that the woman I thought was my mother doesn't really look like my mom." I explain, turning to look her in the eye.
"What do you mean?" She asks intrigued.
We do this every year on the way to school a on the first day, we always make new theories and question old theories on the dream. We never come close to any real explanation as to why I have the dreams, when we were younger we thought it was magical, but now it's just weird.
"I mean her eyes are more like mine, greenish brown and her hair has natural blonde highlights like me, where as my mom has black hair and blue eyes." I say confused.
"Well that's quite a difference, how could you not notice this before?" She says outraged and sort of yells which disturbed the boy behind us who was trying to sleep.
"I'm sorry, I only have this dream once a year and we only talk about it once a year." I said quitter as to make sure I don't disturb the boy again.
"Otilia this is pretty big news, what if this means..." Melanie started then stopped abruptly.
     "What if what?" I ask anxiously.
      "What if the woman you think is your mother isn't your mother at all." Says the boy behind us as he sits up and moves to the seat across from us.
     "That's ridiculous, Suzan is my mom, no question, no doubt." I said reassuring myself that she is my mother.
      "I don't know headphones got a point." Melanie says pointing at the boy who was wearing headphones. I shook my head and curled up into a ball and started shaking back and forth.
      "My name is Marco and it's just a theory so don't go crying over it just yet." He says reaching over and patting my shoulder.
     "I don't know, I mean you and Suzan are opposites, you love out doors and Suzan doesn't. Suzan likes fashion and makeup and you don't give a damn, you are good at drawing and Suzan can't draw to save her life. Marks theory sounds pretty good." Melanie says being no help at all.
       "My names Marco and you are a horrible friend." And with that he picked up Melanie and put her down in his seat and sat where she was. He put his arm around me even though I was still curled up in ball form.
      "Hey! Don't touch her you don't even know us and your telling me I'm a bad friend and your hugging a girl you just met." Yelled Melanie disturbing every other person that was trying to sleep. They all shushed her to which she replied, "Oh shut up!"
