"Be careful what you wish for..."

💫

I can't remember if I'm no longer dreaming, or if I'm still trapped within those nightmares and maybe this is all just wishful thinking.

I assume I'm in the realm of the living and my so called wonderful life as Mr. Callender once again asks, "Ms. Rosewood?"

Oh, yes how could I have forgotten?

My vision snaps back to reality and I take a quick glance around and eye my fellow senior classmates who are either whispering or just staring at me with curiosity. It's not the first time that I've completely spaced out during English class and more than likely, it won't be the last. No, this isn't your average daydreaming...that I can handle...it's just something much more...

I clear my throat and reply, "I'm sorry Mr. Callender, I'm not quite all here...could you please repeat the question?"

A couple giggles ensue and fill the back left corner of the classroom and I catch our star quarterback, Lonny muttering under his breath to the swim captain, Vivian, "When is she ever all here?"

I don't say anything, there's absolutely no reason to. Fighting makes it worse and I'd only be setting myself up for a jumping on my walk home from school. I've learned to just stay quiet and bow my head; I don't want any confrontation if it can be avoided. Instead, I see Mr. Callender's deep green eyes flicker in the direction of the side commentators, a silence passing over them knowing that detention could possibly be in their near future.

Once his eyes return to me, standing just behind his desk at the front of the class, he again informs me of the question...well...more of a learning tool and then asking a question in regards to it, "We just learned how to translate Shakespeare lines into modern text," I sigh as his gaze falls for a brief moment to the pages of the book, Romeo and Juliet. When he places a finger just under the line he must have asked me to translate, his eyes lift from the page and he mentions, "Act two, scene one. Paris' line: Younger than she are happy mothers made. Please translate to modern text."

Working memory...

My own eyes fall to the book lying open in front of me set aside on my desk. I lean forward just a bit and cross my ankles beneath the chair. This is something so easy, something all of us should have been able to do for as Mr. Callender mentioned, we did just learned this type of tool and it should be fresh in my mind.

Where is my mind?

I pull my lips into a tight line, focusing on the words. All I can read is exactly what he said, Paris' original line.

I just...

No...I can't.

"Ms. Rosewood?" It's Mr. Callender's voice ringing in my ears though he is situated at the front of the class. Questions...too many questions...
