I tried filling the sink to the brim with water, and then sticking my head in it.
I didn't understand why I had that dream. Sure, it was a great fantasy, but I felt like I should've been punished for having it.
It doesn't seem possible. There is no way a girl like her could go out with a guy like me that easily.
You don't even know her.
That's right. How could I say "A girl like her" when I don't even know her?
All I do is waste my time on video games, and pay little attention to my grades. They may seem great, but they could drop at any time.
How fit a guy would I be if there was even a microscopic chance that we could become a thing?
I was running out of breath while submerged, but I didn't care. If I ran out of breath, I wouldn't have to worry anymore. If I ran out of breath, I wouldn't have to have all this stress.
If I ran out of breath...
***KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK***
The sudden banging on the door forced me to get out of the water.
"Addie, get out of there!"
One of the twin brothers was knocking furiously. I left the water in the sink to drain and opened the door.
"You always take so long in the bathroom," he said as I came out.
"You should try it sometime, Avi," I replied.
He shook his head in frustration and entered the bathroom.
Meanwhile, I remained standing outside the bathroom door. Maybe I should keep trying to forget, I thought. Maybe this is affecting me more than it should be.
After a while, the bathroom door opened, and Avi came out and bumped into me. "Stop daydreaming, dude," he said as he walked away.
He was two years younger than me, and resembled my other brother Ali in every single way. They were twins who would wear the same clothes, eat the same food, take the same classes, crush on the same girls, and play the same video games. They were both freshmen, and they made great company.
I then got my stuff ready and got on the bus. I wanted to remember that dream for the rest of the day, but then I remembered that I was supposed to forget about it, and forget about her.
Later that day, I felt as though forgetting about her would have proper justification...
...because I saw her with another guy.
