The next day I walk to school. The moment I walk in I hear what I expect.

"She's here!" Everyone comes running up to me.

"Are you ok? Did it hurt?! What about the driver! Who was it? You have any broken bones?" Everyone asks.

"I'm fine, of course it hurt,. The driver was arrested. How should I know who it was and I have no broken bones." I say and walk away. Everyone is silent.

"But we heard you almost died!" I pause.

"From who?" I ask.

"Nate." Says everyone.

Nate! Oh I'll give him a talking.

I'll find him in my 1st hour.

Near the end of class I go up to him.

"Nate, can I talk to you." I say.

"Sure, what's up?" I glare at him.

"You know what's up!" I say mad.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry, I was just saying do people would know and maybe they would give you more attention." He says.

"More attention! More attention! Who ever said I wanted any attention!!" I say.

"I'm sorry." He says.

"It's fine." I say. I turn away and start walking back to my seat.

"Wait." He says as he grabs my hand.

"What Nate." I say. He pulls me towards him.

"I only know because my truck was the one behind the driver. I was the one who told the fireman you were in the ditch. No on else saw you."

I pause and breath fast. No one saw me! But he did. I turn towards him.

"Thanks... Nate." I say.

"You're welcome Becca." He says looking like he did something bad.

I feel bad for yelling at him. We stand there for a minute and then I do something that was a little crazy. I kiss him on the cheek. And walk away. He just stands there and blushes. I now what's going through his head "she kissed me!! My crush kissed me!" And I know I'm like "wow I kissed one of my crushes." Luckily there were ten minutes left of class. And I bolted to 2nd hour. I sat down and Mark sat next to me.

"Hey, are you ok?" He says.

"Yeah I'm fine. That was so scary." I say.

"I bet it was." He says. We keep talking for a while.

I'm back in the woods with Mark. It's like paradise here. I love it. It couldn't get any better. I walk through seeing beautiful plants and clouds. I lay in a grassy field in the middle of the woods and look at the sky. I'm suddenly in a small town in the middle of the woods and everyone there is kind.

"Hi. Hello. Good day." They all say. I smile back and wave. I meet one person name Amelia. She shows me the town and a home she says is mine.

"This can be your if you want, it's the newest and nicest home."

"I would love it but I have no money." I say.

"But here in this town we trade things." Says Amelia.

"I'll trade you the home for your hair tie." She says. I take out my hair tie and hand it to her.

"See simple business here in Woodland." She says. She says goodbye and goes to her home. I look around my place. My neighbors are an old couple and a young man. They are kind. I go to bed in the house I have and wish I would never wake up.

Not my luck. I wake up early for school. I look at my clock. 4 a.m. It says. Great. I pull out my phone. I text Mark.

Heyy wake up!

He responds.

Whyyy! I was having a good dream

I laugh.

Meet me by the pond in half an hour

Fine

I get dressed in a T-Shirt and my skinny jeans and grab my backpack since I'm leaving for school in 2 hours anyway.

I walk down to the pond that is 5 a blocks away form our school. I find Mark sitting on a blanket under a tree facing the sunrise.

"Hey." I say.

"Hello early bird." He says as he yawns. I sit next to him. We chat for a while then head off to school.

"Last week of school, you ready for finals?" He says while walking backwards in front of me.

"More like are you ready?" I say.

"Well Ms.Know It all I am!"

"Good cause I have been." I say. We walk to our different first hours and start finals. This week in gonna be a long week.

I have only one class final a day so 7 finals on 7 days but I did two last week. But still. Mark only has 5 because he has advanced English and they took there's last week. So lucky him.

He goes to lunch early while I take a dumb test. But I'll bug him if I get a higher score. And if I can make it through the whole week with my head hurting. I'll just have to see how it goes.
