I'm back in the woods. I know it's a dream I just fell asleep. I'm in the little home I bought. I go out to the town to see the markets and towns people. As I walk I see kind people trading and
people fighting over what's a fair trade.

I find Amelia and she's trading my hair tie for a loaf of bread.

"Hey Amelia." I say walking up to her.

"Hey Becca." She says. "Here want some bread?" She asks handing me a slice.
 
"Sure thanks." I say as I bit into it. "Mhmmmmm this is great!" I say.

"It's the best bread in town." She says smiling. "Have you met anyone else in town yet? There are some kids you age at the lake."

"Lake?" I ask in excitement. I love lakes.

"Yeah, over about a half mile past the fountain that way." She says pointing.

"Thanks, see you later." I say as I walk off.

"Bye." She's says and disappears into the crowd of people.

I walk for a while and find the fountain. Them walk back to the lake. There I see a bunch of kids playing and a tree right by the water. So I go sit at the bottom and look around.

CRUNCH! I hear from above me.

"Ow." I hear. I look up to see a boy. It's Mark!

"Mark?" I say standing up.

"Becca!  Wait Becca?" He says climbing out of the tree.

"What are you doing here Mark it's... My dream."

"No." He says. "It's my dream."

"Oh yeah you got in a fight yesterday." I say.

And I asked you to the dance yesterday." He says.

"No way!" We say at the same time.

"Your in.... " I start to say.

"My dream!" He finishes. We jump up and down.

"NO WAY!" We both scream. We talk for a long time and think of how crazy this is.

"Crap." He says.

"What is it?" I say.

"I'm waking up." He says as he fades. "I'll see you tomorrow at school bye." And he disappears.

"Bye..." I say and he leaves. I sit alone in my dream.

I wish he would come back. But sporran toy he can't sleep. I'll see him later. I walked back to the village to find Amelia and ask her about how Mark and I have the same dream.

I find Amelia in the town and ask her about it.

"It's just your dream, it's not real." She says. "Like me." She says sadly.

"Hey, it's ok Amelia."I say.

"But, in the real world I'm an actual person. But you." She points at me. "Have to find me in the real world to be my true friend." She says. "And this may not just a dream anymore."

                     ~~~~~~~~~~~

"How can I find her." I whisper as I walk to school the next day. I think maybe there's a town called woodland? Or it's a part of my town I haven't heard of. I'm still honking of all the ways I can find Amelia when I run into someone. We both fall over.

"Hey! Watch where your going!" They say.

I look up to see Nate.

"Oh, Becca. Are you ok?" He says as he helps me up.

"Fine." I say. We stand there and then Gavin is right behind Nate.

"I'll leave you two alone." He says smiling and walks away. "Becca, I'm sorry for hurting Mark I..." He keeps saying.

"Nate! Why did you do that!" I say looking him right in the eyes.

"I... I was jealous I'm sorry. I really like you but I just wanted you to like me back." He says.

"I do! Ok but barely. Just barely. Not enough to call you my crush though!" I say. He blushes.

It's weird because he's taller than me and I'm looking up at him and he's looking down at me but not like I'm short just he's a taller guy. He grabs my hand.

"Nat..." I start to say. By I'm to late. He pulls me towards him and kisses me. I stand there and figure out what is happening. I pull away.

"Nate.. I can't. This isn't..." I say. Turning away.

"Becca..." He says walking up behind me. "I'm sorry I had to.. Because I knew you'll never kiss me." He says and walks up the street to find Gavin.

"No." I say. Still the opposite direction from him.

I eventually walk to school and find Mark.

"Hey Becca... I saw you and Nate." He says.

"I... It's not what you think." I say fast.

"I know.. I heard you. I'm not mad. It's just he was very a pushy." He says.

"Exactly!" I say. "Can we forget about it." I say.

"Sure besides it doesn't matter." He says smiling.

Yeah, I think, it doesn't. He did it not me. And I still have the dance too look forward to on Friday. And I need to find Amelia. I'll start right after school.
