The first thing I feel is a cold wetness. The first thing I see is blue water splashing in the pool beside me. I start to hyperventilate and silently shake as everyone else is watching the demonstration. I can't scream, I musn't scream.
I feel an arm around my shoulders. I turn my head to look at Liam. Oh my gosh how mortifying! I've dreamt of him again.
"Skye, it's ok you're back to the normal world now. We both are."
"H-how do you k-know." I'm part shivering, part scared to death.
"I'm not sure how I know. It's just a feeling. But I know that we've both been having these dreams. I just wish I knew why..." His arms are warm and in swimming trunks I can see his muscles. Look, shut up Skye! I don't like anyone and that's final! He lets go and walks away before anyone notices. I see Kitty, but she's still not talking to me.
After swimming I wait outside the changing room for Kitty like I always do, but when she comes out she just barges straight by. Liam comes out of the boys' changing rooms and starts coming over to me, but before he can Grace his girlfriend (one of the air-heads) intercepts him and pulls him into a kiss. That's it I can't take it anymore. I turn and walk out of the building.
"Skye! Wait!" But I've already left. I can't deal with any of this anymore. Kitty hating me, the psycho dreams AND now Liam being so close, yet so far away in a world of air-heads and jocks. I don't want to get mixed up with them at ALL!
I know I'm probably just a big cry baby, except I usually don't cry so I don't know what's wrong with me. Another thing to add to the list I guess... I see Liam over at the other side of the playground so I just go and sit in my favourite tree in the adventure playground.
"Skye I know you're there. I'm sorry. I didn't even remember Grace was my girlfriend, I got pressured into the relationship by Guy and the others. Do you forgive me?"
"You shouldn't have to ask for my forgiveness. You've done nothing wrong. It's me. It's stupid me." Liam climbs up into the tree and sits right next to me. He cups my face with his hand and gently brings his lips to mine. It's perfect for the few seconds we collide. We draw apart and I don't know what to say. I'm speechless.
"There, that was better than Guy's kiss. Shall we go to Tammy's cafe for milkshakes after school to talk about things?"
"Yeah that would be great." I smile and he helps me out of the tree and we walk to class together.
We meet up at Tammy's and he orders our milkshakes. We sit down at the table and start to talk.
"I'm getting really freaked out about the dreams, Liam."
"I know. It's not normal that we're both conscientiously having the same dream. Well it started on Monday and it's Thursday today. Nothing happened on Tuesday or Wednesday?"
"No." I sigh. "We're not getting anywhere. Maybe we have to wait a bit longer?" He looks at me worriedly.
"Are you ok?" I have a sudden thought.
"That's what you said when I fainted!"
"On Monday! That's great. We're getting somewhere. Now let's not talk about the dreams any more." He smiles at me and I glow inside. I know I said I didn't like anyone, but I feel something when I'm with Liam.
When it comes to the bill Liam says,
"This is on me." I would've minded more if it were very expensive, but Tammy's can afford to be cheap as many people go there from our village.
"Ok well I guess I've got to go home now." I suddenly have an idea. "Wait!" I pick up a clean napkin from the table and using a pen I write my phone number down for him. "Here you are."
We go outside and when we get to the point that we must part he says jokingly,
"May I have a kiss sweet princess?"
"You may noble knight." He grins and wraps his strong arms around my waist. We kiss and my heart skips a beat. When we part I'm speechless again. I turn around and walk to my front door. I can sense he's still watching me. I turn around and he still is. Almost as if he's captivated and can't look away. I smile and close the door. My phone dings,
Unknown number: Night xx
Me: Night xxx
