Iris

Chapter 8

"What?" Matthew was laughing at me. He thought it was a joke. But why else would someone be so nice to me? If this is a trick, it's the nicest trick she ever played, but knowing Eva, it wouldn't last long.

"Who's Eva?" He asked. I swallowed and looked up. "My other self." I went on to explain my crazy dreams. I didn't hold anything back. It felt nice to let everything out.

"So this girl, Eva, controls your dreams?" He asked, trying to confirm what he just heard. "Sounds crazy, right?" No one could ever believe me. It was crazy. A girl, trapped inside me, is taking over my life.

"Oh well I see. Well that's different, but I believe you." I couldn't understand. He believed me. Why would he? "Why?" I asked in confusion.

"What do you mean? Why do I believe you?" I nodded my head. That's when it happened. He leaned in and kissed me. I didn't get it, but at that moment, all I could think about was the kiss. This was my first kiss. I leaned in more. I barley knew this guy, so why was this happening?

He pulled away to breath. Matthew answered my question. His response was simple, yet so life changing.

"Iris, I dream about you all the time. I know about everything. I've known you for a long time."

After that, he left the room, and I was left, speechless.
