Dreamland (Includes the Sequel)

Chapter 7: Relationship status

Friday October 14, 2016 - 6h07 PM 

The last months were so boring. My adoptive family had to go back to earth after only three days following my birthday. My brother Jessy is the one who found it the hardest to go back. He wanted to stay with his big sis. We still communicate on a daily basis via internet. On a very good note, everyone had the chance to travel to earth twice. They decided to cut us loose after every DNA test were officially done. They got what they wanted, apparently. What it is, I don't really know. We had the chance to go back for a whole week at the end of June, and again for two more weeks during the last weeks of August. Many people decided to move back to Earth. My closest friends decided to stay since the cost of life is way better here. Same for me, I spent quality time with my earthly family and grabbed a lot of stuff to bring to Dreamland. 

Nothing interesting really happened after that, since we were all caught up in our jobs. Now that the summer is over and children are back to school, I don't have any more shifts at the day care. Not that I had much in the first place. My boss haven't called me since September 4. It's been almost 1 month and a half that I am technically jobless. My savings are decreasing. Thank god my birth parents are here to help me with money. Brittany and Babe are always busy, so I'm alone most of the time. To be honest, I'm really scared that I might end up in a depression. My social life is almost non-existent and the stress is taking over me. I spend most of my days surfing the internet. I've been to the clubs a few times during the summer, but the place was almost empty. My hot guy was there almost every time, though. Like usual, he stared at me from afar but when he got close he ignored me. The king is practically always gone on trips to his homeland planet, Darkanen. I haven't seen him in two months. After my birthday, he started acting ''normal'', the same way he did before ''our little moment'' happened. He probably realized that his little game didn't work the way he wanted.

I am currently shopping for food. I feel some arms hugging me from behind. It is my college friend Janelle. She dyed her long red hair in dark purple and now wears glasses.

Janelle: Hey girl wassup?

Crystal: Not much, you?

Janelle: It's a ma birth-dayyy and finding you is my present. I got 23, gotta celebrate. Are you coming to the club tonight?

Crystal: Yeah, sure.

As much as I dislike clubs, it's Janelle's birthday so I'm gonna make an effort. Plus: MY SOCIAL LIFE IS BACK! And I miss that Darkanen guy. 

Janelle: Try to bring as many people as you can, girl. It's gonna be a blast. 

Dreamer's Fantasy Nightclub - 11h11 pm

Brittany, Joanna and Vanessa decided to join. Babe is tonight's DJ. I keep searching for the Darkanen guy. He will probably arrive between 12h00-12h30 I suppose. He WILL come : he's here EVERY weekend. We sit at the table beside the men's bathroom. The shooter girl stops at our table. I usually don't drink, but I feel like drinking a few beers tonight.

Janelle: Windshield washer shooters., ever tried that girls?

Crystal: I did.

Vanessa: Such a funny name. I'll take one too.

Joanna: I'll try it.

The hot man passes just beside us to go to the bathroom. I'm trying not to stare.

As soon as he's gone...

Janelle: Ouh, that's my kind of guy. Crystal likes him too I see, so NOT subtle. Ewww look at this picture on the wall. Stoned cupid babies. Crystal, why are you drinking horse's piss?
