*knock knock knock* someone at the door takes me from my bizarre dream.

How long have I slept? I fell asleep when I lost my....

I forgot I lost my necklace.

I'm still wrapped in my towel from my shower this morning.

Is it still morning?

I check the time and its 3:10pm

I slept through half the day.

"Hey" a familiar voice booms through the room.

"grace!!" I practically yell.

Grace is my best friend. Really the only one that can cheer me up, come to me when I'm at my lowest and leave with a smile on my face.

She's stunning as well, I truly envy her.

Her shiny dark brown hair,always tied in a pony tail, with the lightest Carmel hazel eyes, and to top it off with a gorgeous smile.

"I was so worried about you!! You never miss a day of school!" She helps me off the floor and scouls at my towel.

"I should go get dressed.." She nods.

"You go do that" she laughs.

...

After I get dressed and do my makeup she makes me get out of my apartment and go to lunch.

"So why weren't you at school? And why were you on the floor in a towel? And where the hell is your necklace? You always wear that thing" she asks

"Ok, ok; enough questions." My head hurts.

"I took it off last night before bed and I got up to take a shower and go to school and it was gone. I tore the room apart , while still in my towel, and couldn't find it.. Like anywhere. I had a mental breakdown and fell asleep on the floor." I say, mind still reeling on the dream I had.

The only dream that was different in the last 5 years.

"I had a different dream." I say right after, not giving her time to speak.

She almost crashes the new car she got when she hears this.

"Are you serious?" She looks at me wide eyed

"I'm dead serious" bad choice in words.

"Wha-, but-" her mind struggles, she has a very confused expression on her face.

" But I thought you had the same creepy dream sense forever? Why did it just change all a sudden? It doesn't make sense" she shakes her head, bewildered.

"I don't know.." I say.

"Well what was it about?" She looks at me.

"You really want to know?" I ask, not exactly wanting to relive it.

"Of course!!"

"Well.." I go.

" It started with the man"

"Like all your other dreams?" She interrupts, she has a habit of this.

"Shh!!" I tell her trying to explain.

"Well you're going to have to tell me later cause its lunch time." She parks the car In a McDonalds parking lot.

She gets out and I follow.

Our sneakers tap the mud puddles and we laugh, while the girls from school in the Starbucks parking lot across the road watch us with disgusted faces. I point it out to grace and we stop, watching them.
